Being a Deadhead, this band was on my radar but I had not seen them while Jerry was alive. Shortly after he passed, I was not in the mood to see any music, whatsoever. I was basically crushed beyond words and in hard mourning for an extended amount of time. Someone asked if I wanted to go see "Phish" and I decided to give it a go. From the 1st song, it all sounded like harsh noise. It was hard to listen to, hard to like and hard to deal. I was clearly not over Jerry (and I still am not, even after 29+ years). But looking back, I have to say I had a pretty good 1st show! I remember Fast Enough, the intro to the 2nd set Wilson opener, Scent and While My Guitar. But my head wasn't really ready until a year later when I caught 10/31/96 (Remain In Light costume) from the 3rd row, directly in front of Trey. At THAT point, my head flipped and I realized they were the new REAL DEAL.
