(Published in the second edition of The Phish Companion...)

This show is the oft-forgotten show of the tour. The tapes for this show are hard to come by. I managed to dig them up, and while the playing wasn't nearly as amazing as the rest of the tour, there are some humorous moments. Highlights from set one include a smoking Runaway Jim and a solid "Mike's Groove" with some very nice playing from the horns. The first set also includes some funny banter from Trey and company. The second set is the sloppiest set of music I've ever heard, but somehow they pulled it together for a fiery "Possum" set closer and the "Alumni Blues" encore, which also smokes. It's not difficult to see why this show is oft forgotten"...just listen to what they did the next night!
