(Published in the second edition of The Phish Companion...)
I drove with, Richard, my roommate at Virginia Tech, straight up 81 from Blacksburg to the beautiful setting of the Virginia Horse Center. Nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge...
Gorgeous setting, gorgeous day. I picked up a ticket for this show for $16.50 at a record store outside of Richmond. Ah...the good ol' days.
This was my 1st show and 1st Phish taping experience. All the tapers seemed very friendly. The thing about this tapers section was that it was only marked off by a piece of yellow tape. So I had to stand in front of our equipment (I had been taping the Dead for years) 'guarding' it from people...
Notable Jam Chart Performances
Individual jam chart entries from this venue:
Another strong, groove-oriented jam, which, primarily because of tape quality, provides a great look at Page’s strong play. Trey, however, locks into a great riff, which Mike then echoes, as Fish, as usual, drives the version's frenetic pace.
The great thing about "Stash" from '93 - '94 is how fluidly the band weaves back on forth between familiar ground and exploratory territory. This intense and gripping version shifts back and forth several times.
A bit odd and quircky at times, but also very experimental and improvisational, and the jam closes with a raging peak.
