This may be my second favorite Dear Mr. Fantasy/Hey Jude. This show is solid, but it reaffirms my thoughts that East Coast shows are better. I don’t know why, but I have big lean east.

I love it when one of my favorite show's anniversary is on a weekend.  The show has terrific sound!!

Speaking of anniversaries, I watched this one live on PPV. Still a noob, it was unofficially my 3rd show. It was my introduction to the summer solstice show, which was a thing.

Now to move a little off topic, six years later I drove down to Cincinnati to see if Phish made a big deal out of the solstice. They did not. But it was still a unique and awesome show and there’s a really good amateur video with great sound documenting the band in their youth when the energy was off the charts. I saw this show and the next night in Columbus (which was later released officially as Live Phish 10, amazing show and I had 3rd row center seats, the best I could get being first in line at the box office when they went on sale). The next day I boarded a plane to Las Vegas for three nights of the Dead at the Sam Boyd Silver Bowl. The contrast in energy between the two bands was stark. I already had tickets for the Dead’s shows at Deer Creek and Buckeye Lake. Buckeye Lake ‘94 was my last Dead show and I hopped on over to the Phish train after that. Happy I missed the ugliness of Deer Creek the following year. When I heard of Jerry’s passing I was sad, but not terribly surprised, and I had already moved on.

So here’s another another anniversary show which I’ve posted before in the Phish thread but I’ll post it here in case anyone is curious. The audio is excellent. Give it a little time for the video to kick in. It’s sometimes choppy but mostly it’s a pretty solid amateur video. If you watch the whole thing and if you haven’t seen my post about it in the Phish thread, there’s a big surprise partway through, before the end of the first set.
