All shows played in Colorado!

#2 & 3 are right.
#1 has grand piano in it (= '94 or later).
Can anyone verify #1? I'm out and about and can't right now.

Page did have his baby grand piano for Spring 93 tour. The 2/3 and 2/4 were decent opening shows as I remember them.

Yep. I think I read it in an interview, but the sentiment is echoed in the "Loving Cup" song history as well -- Trey wanted to cover the tune for years but Page refused unless he could actually play it on piano:

"Phish broke the dusty drinking vessel out of its trophy case (2/3/93 Portland, ME) as the spring 1993 tour opening song. The timing of this debut apparently had hinged on the ability of the band to tour with a baby grand piano; 2/3/93 was in fact the first show with the baby grand in Page’s touring ensemble, and the opening lick of that year was thus on the baby grand."

Nice MJM this week. Good mix of tunes.
