My first show. Not many people were there. The folks I chatted with had heard about the band from friends up north (many Duke and UNC students were from the NE) or were regulars at Cat's Cradle, which described me. I thought them raw but wild with potential greatness because there songs were so different from what was coming through college towns, and the songs had wide open spaces for improvisation, which they did a great deal of - to my immense delight! I think I spoke with all the band members briefly during a break and after the show, drinking beers at the bar. It was a very, very laid back scene. I saw them again at the Cradle at least once before finishing grad school, and then I was off to see the world.... as was Phish.
