The circulating SBD of this show contains only Set 3 + Mike's -> Dave's from Set 1, but it is a worthy glimpse of the band when they were just minnows on the night sky.
Mike's is slow and methodical, but tastefully explored. This laid-back approach pervades the entire performance, and I...
Earth Day has been a very common date for the band to play. Starting in 1988, the band played every single Earth Day until 1995. That's 7 straight years. Of course, the date of Earth day coincided with college classes being in session, so it wasn't until the band moved out of the college circuit...

Notable Jam Chart Performances
Individual jam chart entries from this venue:
Page is a guest at this point, but he makes a strong contribution to the uncharacteristically (for the ABB or Phish) settled first jam from, 5:30 - 11:45. This is a much different, more chill version than the typically fiery variety. Unfinished with a -> to a strong early "McGrupp."
-> in from "Whipping Post." Again, the lyrics are narrated. Page sat in as a guest for this show, and he begins make his presence felt, adding color to the excellent, guitar-driven jam, which has moments that sound similar to "Drowned". Eventually getting back to "McGrupp," this version slowly winds down with a > to "Makisupa."
First recorded performance. -> in from "Makisupa." Jam section only of "Antelope" is played at a slower tempo, but otherwise has crescendo building characteristics similar to modern versions. -> to the debut of the Grateful Dead's "The Other One."
