This is absolutely stunning and surreal. It brings me back to the Summer of 1991 instantly and gave me goosebumps watching. This was as incredible and moving to me as watching the 20th Anniversary video from Boston Garden. I can't thank Matt enough and everyone involved in getting this video out to the public. I am speechless. What a wonderful surprise to wake-up to today. If there was a Phish Smithsonian Museum, this would be one of the cherished items of the entire collection.

I know there are more Phish videos out there and Phish audio tapes that have never seen the light of day. Some people derive joy from collecting things nobody else can listen to or watch. I have never understood that motivation. I hope Matt gets as much joy sharing this with the fans as many people will watching it. And hopefully others are nudged into digging into their collection too and letting some other early treasures into the public domain.

Thanks again! Phenomenal work!

Thanks so much for your thoughts, Parker (and your email, I'll reply to that separately). It has, indeed, given me great joy to share this with the community, to hear that Mockingbird has been getting donations based on it... and to hear recollections and sentiments like this one. This was a pivotal show for me as well.

I also hope and expect that there are more people with gems lying around, and I'd be thrilled to help edit anything that surfaces, with the goal of bringing more of this great material to light!
