Notes: I’m Blue I’m Lonesome was performed acoustic and, along with Sweet Adeline, without microphones. Life on Mars made its Phish debut at this show and was dedicated to Sofi.
This show was part of the "1995 Fall Tour."
The show was mellow in a refined and sophisticated way. A nice introduction to the band but not a total mind-blower. It did open my mind to how skilled the musicians were and made me feel they were more like The Beatles than the Grateful Dead.
My first impressions were blown to shreds the next night but still I think this was the right way to get on the bus for me.
Highlights for me were Maze, SOAM, Tube, Antelope and I was hooked to go to Austin the next night 1/2 way through While My Guitar Gently Weeps. Squirming Coil did, ultimately, have me screaming for more as well. Overall, a fun show!
