This was my first show, though I had been given tapes by a friend who went to school in New England for a couple of years. He came out to Madison for this. They played the sounds check, Golgi Apparatus, to a mostly empty room, but when they finished, the room cleared out and the pay phones were full. Within 30 minutes, the room was mostly packed. I don't remember the exact set list - it was more than 30 years ago at this point, but they played a lot of the standard songs from what we now know as the Phish 1.0 era.

I do recall specifically a few though, Jesus Left Chicago, Divided Sky, Runaway Jim, Antelope Song, Mike's Song and I Didn't know. I am not sure Phish knew the significance of Otis Redding to Madison, I'll let those who don't know, Google it.

It was the first of hundreds of shows that I have had the pleasure of attending.
