argonbunnies For whatever reason, I was really into Runaway Jim leading up to attending this show. I've always gone through phases where I'm most enthusiastic about this Phish song or that Phish song, and in late 1999 it happened to be Jim.

Being completely aware that Jim was an incredibly unlikely encore, I called it anyway after Set 2.

Holy shit!!!

Glad I got to experience that "success on impossible odds" moment once in my time as a fan. :)

Beyond that, this was a memorable show for me because of sitting behind the stage for the first (and so far only) time and having a captivating view of the light rig.

I went with my ex-girlfriend (who loved Phish) and my soon-to-be girlfriend (who knew nothing about Phish, but worked lights for theater and loved the rig) and I don't remember any awkwardness. Just a good show with some satisfyingly tight renditions (Divided Sky, Squirming Coil) and then that amazing called encore.
