Another long couple days of train travel from Italy to France (how Mike got the inspiration for Train Song, which debuted two weeks later in Germany), and we made it to the resort town of Deauville on France's west coast. The venue was like nothing we had experienced before - very high end. In fact, the ushers tried to make us sit down during Phish's set, but ultimately gave up. This was also the first show of only Phish and Santana and the first to be completely sold out (1500 seats sold). Phish's opening set was sparsely attended, but they missed a nice Theme opener, a Mike's Song into Boucin (a nice version to make up for Milan's debacle) and our first Character Zero, played publicly for the first time. Overnight in Deauville before an early train to Paris for the next show.
