This was the first show I ever saw and it was crazy. I had know about Phish for a few years but had never gone to check them out. I borrowed a few tapes from a buddy but they didn't really do much for me. Then a friend hooked me up with 11th row center and the rest is history. They came out and the first thing I dug was the way they were set up on stage. They then opened with Bowie and I shit you not it was like they leaned into the crowd, grabbed me by my shirt and just started punching me in the face. I was blown away by what they were doing. Been a huge fan ever since. The only bad thing was having to split my budget between the Dead and Phish...... some tough decisions were made.
