Sorry waxbanks, I have to disagree - you haven't really heard Phish if you haven't heard some of these five shows, I've heard 4/16 about a million times but have finally heard the other 4 (4/16-4/21) a few times now. I'm not saying they didn't play well afterwards, obviously they have and did,...

This was the fourth straight show for me as well as the band, so I took it easy for this one. A free show at Stanford was the right price for many heads, so even more people made it out...

One of my favorite '92 shows (if not the one that takes the cake altogether). Both sets feature some really stellar moments, great song choice/variety, and the second set Fishman break is on one of the Syd Barrett tunes I prefer. the Cameron McKinney sit-in is cute, too.
