This was my 2nd show, and my group were the first in line at the box office the morning of the ticket sale (got there at like 8pm the night before). We got front row center. This may be my favorite Weekapaug I've ever heard -- demented winter holiday jam. Mike's Song featured Trey running around the stage whipping a megaphone like a windmill while CK5 was going ape on the strobe lights.

I had primarily been going to hardcore shows back then, so I wasn't surprised when someone jumped on stage, ran around and then stage dove -- I learned very quickly that this was not acceptable behavior at a Phish show, as the first three rows around me parted like the red seat and that poor bastard dropped like a stone into the folding chairs. Pretty hilarious.

My friend Kate asked if there was a song I wanted to hear. I really had only heard Hoist at that point and saw some of those songs at the Mann, so I said Axilla Pt. II. She kinda laughed and said "They never play that," in a manner indicating that she wasn't too big on that song.

I've not been anywhere near that close since.
