This was my only chance to see Phish in my hometown. "Why the hell are they coming here?" everyone asked. To drop one of the best shows of the year!
I went to Deer Creek earlier in the year and had a great time. The shows didn't measure up musically to my first show in Louisville Gardens, but...
Took my girlfriend at the time to her first show. Took my brother to his 2nd and his girlfriend was her 1st. They all loved the show along with me. I took an 1/8th of shrooms so don't remember much other then the fact that the girl I took to the show hated Phish prior and loved them after....

Listening to the archival release, you're immediately struck by the [i]energy[/i] of this show. The "Rupp Gin", as it has come to be known, is the famous draw from this show (and deservedly so), but from beginning to end, it's just a really fun, energetic outing.
Given its fame and...
Apparently this show was severely undersold, only 13,000 ticket holders for 24,000 seat venue.
