Encore: We're an American Band[4]
Performers: Trey Anastasio, Page McConnell, Jon Fishman, Mike Gordon
Notes: The Vibration of Life was announced by Trey as “Written by God” and was performed for the first time since November 30, 1994 (148 shows). At the end of Axilla, the light crew also received a bizarre tribute and Leigh Fordham, a member of Phish's light crew, was mentioned several times. The Hood lyrics were subsequently altered slightly to include a bit about Leigh Fordham. Suzy Greenberg included Leigh Fordham references as well as La Grange and Axilla teases. We’re An American Band made its Phish debut in the city referenced in its lyrics.
This show was part of the "1996 Fall Tour."

Wow, another hot Fall 1996 show from the Mid-West. This second set was a bit wild, especially the Vibration->Kung->Catapult and huge tribute to the lighting crew during Axilla/Suzy. You can feel good about Hood in this show and We're an American Band was a special treat. I never really knew who Leigh Fordham was (46 days)until hearing this show and reading the show notes. It is all tied together in the world of Phish.
