Notes: This show marked the debut of Simple and the Phish debut of O Mio Babbino Caro. Suzy and Possum contained Flintstones theme teases. Reba did not have the whistling ending. Nellie Kane and My Mind’s Got a Mind of its Own were performed acoustic with guest fiddler Morgan Fichter. O Mio Babbino Caro, a Puccini aria, featured opera singer Andrea Baker singing unmiced. Before Possum, the band handed out boxes of Flintstones macaroni and cheese for the audience to shake along with Possum and Fire.
This show was part of the "1994 Spring Tour."

I was there, and it was my one and only birthday show. I went to all of the four bars, two upstairs, two downstairs, and collected a free Sierra Nevada Pale Ale from each. As for the show, I really don't remember too much, as it was 16 years ago now and we had gone pretty hard the first two nights and the aforementioned four beers were not my only libations. The first two nights were comparatively tame, and this one stands head and shoulders above. I recall snippets: the opera singer, the girl who played violin (from Camper Van Beethoven?), a six foot bong some guy had between the taper section and the pit, watching DownerMan dance in the first row of the balcony, taping (and staying) with AssholeMan, noticing that Paula Poundstone was on the marquee as soon as we left the theatre:http://www.pbase.com/sigphotography/image/44027216
Here's the official poster, as well:

All in all a good run which would have been mediocre without this gem.
Score: 1
Cant believe there's not a review of this show yet. If I'm not mistaken this became the "Simple" bootleg, at least by '98......
This is my favorite version of Reba ever.......
