It was so hot.

Sweaty hot.

And the weather was warm too :wink:

#4

Best Piper

#5

#6

x-files, black jellys, and a Quinn that made you feel like it was a different band playing. Motor-cycle taxis, Mash style coffee house, 6 cops on horses while Woodstock burned…

#7

I know you can say this about damn near any phish show, but I think they are on a shitload of drugs for that final set.

#8

Longest vamp on E evar!

#9

I wore a shirt that said SPUN reflected backwards most of that day. My “Ask me about my Golgi Apparatus” shirt was too caked with glitter. Never was real big on glitter.

#10

I didn’t wear a shirt either day, it was so freaking hot. I didn’t mind, my self, 'twas quite spun too

#11

What a great time to break even on tour. With the insanity down the road it was a free market utopia. I jumped off tour the next day. Didn’t want to cross the border with my eighth of Durban Poison. Shitty Greyhound back to Charleston. The feds pulled the bus over and had a wanted poster with them. They grabbed some chump out of the back and took him away. Until I saw the poster my heart had been crazy. You know having an eighth and all. Total profit for 12 shows 7/3-7/18 $25 (Last time I ever left shows in the black). It was a gas!
