Just as I assume it is with drugs, there's nothing like that first taste of Phish and you always keep chasing that feeling. I'll never forget pressing play on my stereo and hearing Squirming Coil for the first time. My jaw dropped and by the time the track was finished I knew this was no ordinary band.

My second show was Lehigh and I was in attendance that night when Phish debuted Guyute. The crowd was incredibly attentive and it gave me quite an insight into Phish fans when the audience gave the band a standing ovation after its glorious conclusion. I try to remember the excitement of those two moments when Phish starts Coil or Guyute. Well, at least after I get over my initial disappointment.

Great work, Charlie.
