Everyone has a 1st show -- and this was mine!!! An epic 13hr+ drive up from Fort Collins, Colorado, where I was a freshman at CSU... Needless to say, but the memory of the night is more nostalgia than actual tangible memory...

I do remember loving the stage entertainment of this band I had only heard on bootlegs up until this point. A full acoustic bluegrass ensemble in the middle of the first set. The chess match between sets. The Fishman Elvis cover... All great introductions to the uniqueness of a band I would come to love over the years to follow. There's nothing like LIVE PHISH!

Musical highlights for my first show ever: Sparkle>Wolfman's, Reba, YEM, Bowie, and the fun-filled encore...
