^ recommend some good shows. I used to have a few great shows, one was a nectars where they did “melt the guns” dont remember the date though. I also just ordered colorado 88 and I cant wait to listen to all that. I know the 80’s stuff isnt enough for some but I absolutely love hearing phish that raw. It has its moments like all other eras. SUGGESTIONS??
08-21-87 Ian McLean’s Farm, Hebron, NY
1: Dog Log, Peaches en Regalia, The Divided Sky, Funky Bitch, Harry Hood, Clod, The Curtain, Light Up or Leave Me Alone, Shaggy Dog, Wilson, Camel Walk
2: Mike’s Song, Harpua*-> Bundle of Joy-> Harpua-> Golgi Apparatus-> Sparks, Flat Fee, Fee, Skin It Back-> Low Rider-> Back Porch-> The Sloth
3: Big Black Furry Creature From Mars, McGrupp and the Watchful Hosemasters-> Stir It Up jam-> Makisupa Policeman-> David Bowie-> Sanity, Swing Low Sweet Chariot Jam
This tape has been circulating as 08-27-87 for years due to a handwriting error on the master. Also, a song ("Love on the Telephone) frequently follows this show on tape, but it is filler of a band called “Of the Cuff.” *Without “Poster Nutbag” and dog story.
and pretty much anything from 1989.
And in my opinion, pretty much anything from the '80s.

^THANKS??? If only their setlists in 2009 could be like that. Just imagine how crazy people would go if they did any one of those setlists above at a 2009 show and obviously they cant because its already been done but you get my point. So many songs that are rarities now back then were regular run of the mill song choices…fucking crazy.
thanks as well golden road
