Thank you for this - a few weeks later I got my mind blown at Big Birch. Taking my 9 year old to her second show at Sunday Bethel next month. To your point, the cycle is real and it is emotional and we are all so so lucky. Cheers to you Andrew for sharing, cheers to you all for being amazing.

Indeed looks like you've had a similar show trajectory! Will keep an eye for the both of you in August.

Hey I lived in Montreal as a McGill University student back when. I believe the first venue pHish played was "Les Foufounes Electrique " which is roughly translated into Electric Buns.Mostly a punk rock club with weird bands. I recall it was on St. Catherine Avenue approaching the gay district.

I don't know much about this show but do note that it was part of the Jazz Fest! 'Foufs' as it is affectionately referred to is still around. Nirvana famously played a small gig there in 91, a few days before Nevermind came out. An old acquaintance of mine from music biz days booked that gig, I believe..
