#The tape is playing over the PA when Trey, Mike, and Fish arrive on the floor and listen through “Gumbo.” During “Fool,” they take the stage and begin to play along with themselves (on the recording), at which point Paul Languedoc fades out the tape, and the soundcheck begins in earnest. *With Mind Left Body jam for at least two minutes. **With alternate lyric (something to the effect of “set the gearshift for this side of the hole” or possibly “hall,” as a reference to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland).

for some reason i got sick as shit between GR and cleveland. my head was in bad shape for this one.

i think the wolfmans > mind left body is way underrated. i guess it doesn’t alone make a show great, but its pretty spectacular.

im pretty sure i remember Fish standing up on his stool during Its Ice… i dunno. like i said i was really sick. but i definitely saw that happen at some point!

this show i wore my Indians cap where i had modified the threading in Chief Wahoo’s teeth to spell out “PHISH”. i’m (obviously) still proud of that. i trip myself on that thought :crazy:

not much of the 2nd set springs to memory but the Meat jam… WAYYYYYYYYY deep and spaced out… the start/stops really had the crowd in tow.
