This sounds to me like one of those really tight, excellently played, nothing-too-adventurous '90-'92 gigs. There are a few shaky moments, like the start of Chalkdust and the start of YEM. There's a couple of interesting moments, like AC/DC Bag and the start of Foam. And there's the funny banter before the start of set II about people getting hauled into the headmaster's office, as well as an audience member yelling "f*** Your Face!" to which Fish replies "f*** YOUR face!" Beyond that, though, just straight-forward, average-great Phish. Oh, and the sound quality wobbles between crispy soundboard and hissy soundboard. Three stars.

This show was organized for a bunch of Prep schools in Ct. My school, Loomis Chaffee, was there and it was a good vibe seeing all the other prepsters from the other schools into the same music. Surprisingly, the band didnt play "Prep School Hippy" which would have been perfect.

My first Phish show. Like others here, I was a prep school student (Berkshire) and very glad to join up with other students from different schools that day. I recall one of my teachers standing next to me and commenting, “the singer has a very *interesting* voice.” And I remember thinking: ‘yes, and also - you’re listening to the future.’ It was a very solid early show and a terrific day!

The SBD source for this show is listenable but the pitch is a hair sharp. McGrupp switches over to an audience recording which has decent sound.

Divided Sky cuts in during the “There’s a Christmas Star” section. Decent Chalk Dust. The opening section to YEM is a little rough. It finishes strong albeit somewhat straightforward for the tour.

Set 2 starts off with the band wishing a happy birthday to Josh and some headmaster talk. Oh Kee Pa and a pretty straightforward Bag get things started. Foam has an interesting opening section. Well played Reba. DaaM>Sloth pair nicely. McGrupp switches over to an audience recording. After McGrupp Trey says they need to take another break to deal with some technical issues. When the band returns to the stage Page says “it’s last call for t-shirt sales. 8 bucks a T!” Jon Fishman from the neck down and Zero Man from the neck up delivers a nice vac solo for I Didn’t Know. Golgi closes out the set. Solid Possum encore.

This was my first show. I went to Canterbury school and I think the tickets were 10 bucks. Someone from the school Just dropped us off in a van. The show was in a big field. Think the stage was a flatbed trailer. Hundreds of prep school kids and a small but noticeable number of Burlington types willing to drive down to Connecticut for a free show. There were a bunch of us playing frisbee for the first set. Great vibe. The possum encore is what hooked me. I’m writing this review on the 32 anniversary of that show.
