Okay all...I have a few discrepancies between the tapes that circulate under this date and what I remember clearly as going down at this show. It was my first Phish show and I have some crystal clear memories of it...and this recording, while close, does not entirely match up! So, here it is as...
This appears to have been the final Phish show at the 23 East Cabaret, a 400-person room in the Philly suburbs they played eight times between the fall of '89 and this night in 1990. The soundboard recording I listened to suffers from a bit of occasional distortion. Fishman is referred to as...
I was there, living in Garett Hill at the time. I was wasted, had no clue who they were, just remember lots of wasted people, super wasted - I do remember they were really tight. I was however really loose. At 2 points in the show I do remember walking out back for a joint, and I was thinking...
Awesome show, My very first!
There weren't a lot of people there. I was right up against the stage, in total awe. Honestly, I don't remember the setlist, as I didn't know any of the songs back then, but I think I might remember that they played "La Grange." the crowd was sparse this night,...
Fishman was dressed in a superhero outfit...a cowl, goggles, and a cape with the familiar red donut on it. First and only time I saw that. The crowd was much bigger than the last time I saw them at this venue (which was 6/8/90...right after school let out and in a huge rain storm so go figure)...
I had so much fun the night before at the bayou I decided to make the trek up to the Philly suburbs and the infamous East Cabaret. There were quite a few repeats from the night before, but they still seemed fresh and new to me, this being my 5th show. Foam was always a great way to start things...
The first review for this show is incorrect (or "misremembered"). They are not recalling the right show. I was at this show. There were definitely two sets. The second set was cut short and there was no encore. The rest of the setlist is correct, and there was no Gamehendge rap with Divided Sky...
My second show. I brought a bunch of friends with me, as I saw them the previous night. The place was pretty packed, as everyone who was there the night before brought a bunch of buddies, too. After the show, it was on to beers at Gillaine's Tavern, since it was St. pats day, and we had much...
This is a crispy one set recording of what you could call the first night of the New Year’s run of ’89. You can tell there’s a DAT generation in there because of some serious digi-noise that pops up in a few songs. Paul’s mix is unbalanced at first, but levels out with each passing song. The...
This is the "one that got away" on me. I was supposed to meet a friend at this show...but I bailed at the last second, it being the holidays and all I didn't feel up to the drive from Atlantic City. She went, though, and immediately called to tell me how I screwed up...badly. You can include in...
