^^ Brett, any show you attend is weird!
Here is another Weird one. Fillmore 98. probably the weirdest ticket sale ever anyway. so i call my brother one day in Late Aug or early Sep.
I tell him Mr.X called me and told me about a show Phish would be doing before the Bridgeschool shows. this show would be a the Fillmore in San Francisco. So i get a call from him a time later and he tells me that the local radio station will be announcing a special ticket sale location tomorrow morning at 10 am. Then the tickets would go on sale at 11 am. So my brother camps out somewhere in SF and waits for the announcement. It comes and they tell everyone to get to a specific pier at the Wharf. So my bro starts haulin ass to get there. Heās passin up old VW busseās with stickerās on em and speedin and shit. Anyhow he getās there and getās ticketās for us. They were not really tix but special voucherās good for 2 admissions to the show. What a mess he said it was but everyone kept there cool west coast style and he and i were rewarded.
Now the show was damn cool and in a place that small with all that history did not hurt either. There were a bunch of Elektra suits up in that bitch which made it a very segregated crowd. It was a strange experience but with a lil molly it all got nice quick!
Bonner Springs in whatā¦99?? Rained to the high heavens⦠They opened with a great BathTub Ginā¦
Wowā¦
10/31/94 . Being 19, on a tab of LSD , with all the costumes( I remember Mound,The Wedge,Sparkle and Lawnboy as some of my favorites), The White album, the music ,the lightsā¦Madness I tell you. Complete madness.
In the end, it all caught up to me. Young,dumb and out of control, I wound up puking my brains out and spent the 2nd half of the enitre show in the mens room
mound, wedge and lawn boy??? damn those mushrooms i ate really were powerful!!! :o
^Not the songsā¦but the costumesā¦but then again they coulda just been regular folk and what I was on was even more potent than I thought.
Other than Cypress, this show might be the answer to the question "If I could choose 1 show to go back in time (while having an ample supply of pot, beer, and whatever drugs I might need) and see Phish perform, which would it be? HUGE Beatles fan, although I really enjoy the VU set as well.
i liked the lawn boy costume the bestā¦iām surprised he didnāt win!
8-10-97 had a very bizzarre second set.
^but still awesome
8/10/97 was a little wierd, but in a good way. The vibe that night was extra special.
