Notes: This show celebrated the release of “Phish Food” ice cream and was a benefit for the then-newly formed Waterwheel Foundation. “Ben & Jerry” made a short speech before the show and free ice cream was made available for the entire crowd. I Told You So and Love Me Like a Man, both of which featured Tammy Fletcher of The Disciples on vocals, made their Phish debuts. Cinnamon Girl was played for the first time since March 1, 1989 (898 shows). The last three songs of the first set, as well as Funky Bitch, featured Dave Grippo on alto sax and James Harvey on trombone. Suzy Greenberg included a Soul Power tease from the horn section. Hello My Baby was performed without microphones. This show is available as an archival release on LivePhish.com.
I haven't listened to the second set yet, first set is to good. I'll get to it tomorrow.
