Little Drummer Boy was also teased during the end of Peaches and the ensuing Big Ball Jam, which also contained Demand teases from Fish. Highway to Hell was jokingly dedicated to some fans in the front row, who were chanting for AC/DC Bag, and not an AC/DC song.

This show was part of the "1994 Spring Tour."

Issiah Taking a Greyhound Bus up from the previous show at Penn State, We arrived at the Broome County Arena and found a couple of parking lots full of Phish concert goers. Something that never manifested at the show before. Guessing we were moving back closer to the fan base... The Arena was a typical small city hockey rink and was substantially bigger than the Rec Hall from the night before.

Forget exactly what the circumstances were, but a friend and I passed through the gate just as the music had started, and dashed through one of the entrances into the seating area. We started groovin to the music for a bit, then realized we had ended up right next to some friends from back home!

This show may come across as a hidden gem to some folks. I can remember, even after amassing a huge tape collection a couple years later, this was always a favorite. Really enjoyed the whole show, but wearing out the old tape deck most of all was the Mike's!! It got into this metallic screeching extra terrestrial sounding cries that really seemed to tap into a new level of communication...Love it, just love it...

A final memory from this show was arriving home to find out that Kurt Cobain from Nirvana had killed himself while we were away.

This was my first full show in nearly a year my last show was a one set HORDE thing which while fun didn't exactly give me my fix. This was the largest venue I had seen them at and I was pretty amazed at how quickly they blew up. By this time I was pretty well into the music and I knew most of the songs and was a bit more critical of everything. NOt that that's a good thing.
So Magilla opener was a wonderful way to start the show. I thought I would see a lot more of them and I did but never solo like this. This was a night of firsts for me which worked out great because I was ready to see some different stuff live. Wilson,Gin,Peaches and of course Demand were all first timers for me. Other than that I thought the Mike's Song really worked well with the large crowd. This was also my first Slave which is really just a majestic big room kind of a song. After this show I was completely totally hooked and I made it my mission to see every show i could.
