This show will also be remembered for the fact that it was the first and only show to which I brought my mother. It was my second show and I was 16 at the time and, due to a trip to Europe that summer, was going to miss Phish's next show in Montreal that July. The nearest venue before my...
Just for clarity on the last post. Sparkle was dedicated to a great friend and amazing soul Aaron that had been put to rest.

This show is inexplicably lowly rated, imho. Everything around it is 4.3, 4.6, 3.9... and then this is sub-3? Maybe it's just people who were there are only remember the rain. I don't know, but it's not some throwaway show. It's in the middle of a huge run of hotness and deserves a listen even if...
