He had a few tapes which he copied for me (which in turn I was able to trade for a box full which now resides in the \u201cdusty memories\u201d corner of my basement). This was back in the day where you couldn\u2019t just turn on YouTube or cruise to the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/spreadsheets.google.com\/pub?key=p8WKkpP-TKpO1VnQgcff6EQ&amp;gid=7\">Phish spreadsheet<\/a>\u00a0to hear whatever show you wanted &#8211; you had to actually work for it! Despite my musical background, which was mostly metal and classic rock at that point, the band impressed me immediately. The juxtaposition of incredibly structured songs wrapped in periods of \u2018anything goes\u2019 was completely new to me and I became engrossed in learning about all things Phish.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-238354 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/dev.nysmusic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/setlist-image-v1.png\" alt=\"Phish Darien Lake\" width=\"400\" height=\"588\" data-wp-pid=\"238354\" \/><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">It wasn\u2019t until the summer of \u201893 that I finally had an opportunity to catch the band live, but by then I had heard dozens of tapes, knew the studio albums by heart, and was beyond psyched for my first experience. My friend Ron and I traveled up from Candor, NY, just south of Ithaca, up to Buffalo to meet some of his friends. As luck would have it, his friends parents were quite well-off and we spent the early afternoon in a gorgeous custom pool with attached hot tub before collecting everyone and heading towards\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.darienlake.com\/\">Darien Lake<\/a>. After a quick and delicious stop at Buffalo\u2019s\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.mightytaco.com\/main.php\">Mighty Taco<\/a>\u00a0we got to the venue a few hours before show time.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">After scoring my first ever lot grilled cheese and a nice fan-made \u201cGone Phishin\u2019\u201d t-shirt, we wandered in to find a good spot on the lawn. The weather was perfect and the shrieks of nearby tourists in the next door amusement park only added to the overall excitement in the air. I was immediately taken aback by the crowd, while it certainly reminded me of the two Grateful Dead experiences I had gone on, there was something different about it, almost intangible&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Fly Famous Mockingbird (Live)\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dOEvZqSkxSg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"LivePhish 8\/7\/93 (Darien Lake Performing Arts Center, Darien Center, NY)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/videoseries?list=PL9Wl32x4roQEbXK6G5CzQftC5XNPeJ9Wl\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The band wasted no time coming out of the gate with an especially \u201cTaboot\u201d version of \u201cLlama\u201d, arguably one of the greatest openers in the bands repertoire. While my ears remained transfixed to the auditory mastery unfolding before them, my eyes started to wander around the crowd around me, trying to quantify that intangible feeling I had noticed earlier. What I observed was astounding. Everyone stood, transfixed by the music. Chatting was minimal. The sea of people knew every word, every note, every nuance of the songs being performed. People danced to their own hearts, with no qualms of judgement. This was not a place to worry about mortgage statements, exes or bosses that make you work all weekend. This was a time to live in the moment and become immersed in the pureness of music mastery. The rest of the set was loaded with treats for new timers and seasoned veterans alike. From the simple recreation of \u201cBouncing around the Room\u201d to the fierce peaks and improvisation in a &#8220;Reba&gt;Maze&#8221; pairing, which remain as some of my favorite versions of those songs to this day.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Then stuff got awesomely weird as the first notes of Colonel Forbin\u2019s ascent rang out and the crowd collectively shit their tie-dyed britches. The Colonel went on quite the journey this sunny August day, as Trey\u2019s narration appropriately took us through the \u201croller coaster of the mind\u201d as unknowing park dwellers went on their own metal and wood coaster journey\u2019s nearby. Eventually the Colonel found the Famous Mockingbird and the band closed the set with a spirited version of classic set closer &#8220;Cavern.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"McGrupp and the Watchful Hosemasters (Live)\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/OKlwnDXIZio?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">After far more than the 15 minutes Trey promised us, the band came back for the second set and launched into the familiar notes of Strauss\u2019s \u201cAlso Spracht Zarathrusta\u201d. More typical lengthwise to the 3.0 versions of this tune, it was a quick one and launched immediately into my very first experience with Mike\u2019s Groove. Mike\u2019s Groove has had a lot of variations throughout Phishtory, but the standard is the trio of &#8220;Mikes Song&#8221;, the segue instrumental &#8220;I am Hydrogen&#8221;, and the raging rock of &#8220;Weekapaug Groove&#8221; to close it. \u00a0This particular Mike\u2019s would stray far from the standard. Two distinct jams in the Mike\u2019s section, with the second being so atypical it is often marked on setlists as \u201cIrish Diddy Jam\u201d. Sandwiched in the middle of this monster was my first experience hearing (or knowing about) the Jon Fishman penned poem \u201cKung\u201d. We stood up, we ran to the hills, we imagined 1000\u2019s of stampeding golf carts hell-bent on stealing our rich minerals. I gave Ron the 10th of what would be dozens of \u201cDid that just really happen?\u201d looks that night.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Little did I know, this Mike\u2019s was just getting started. Instead of the typical segue into \u201cI Am Hydrogen\u201d the band went into yet another rarity, the beautiful and succinct Trey instrumental \u201cThe Man Who Saw Into Yesterday\u201d. Continuing the groove madness, the Phish version of the Jewish prayer \u201cAvenu Malkenu\u201d came next. \u201cOur Father, Our King, be gracious with us and answer us, even though we have no deeds; treat us with charity and kindness, and save us.\u201d But who would save us? Instead of the typical &#8220;Weekapaug&#8221; exclamation point, \u201cThe Sloth\u201d came down from the ghetto to slice our nipples. No one complained. \u00a0In fact we all felt like laughing. And we laughed and laughed until we fell apart during the ensuing \u201cSparkle\u201d which was set on super-holy-phuck-turbo speed. No bathroom songs in this show. The set continued with a well executed version of THE original Gamehendge song, \u00a0\u201cMcGrupp and the Watchful Hosemasters\u201d which segued into a hilarious take on Prince\u2019s \u201cPurple Rain\u201d with the typical Phished up version of Argent\u2019s \u201cHold Your Head Up\u201d to follow. The set then closed with arguably Phish\u2019s greatest show closing tune, a rip roaring, unrelenting \u201cRun Like an Antelope\u201d complete with fireworks and a laser light show from inside the theme park.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Two decades later this show still resounds as one of the greatest experiences I\u2019ve had. Five Gamehendge related songs, a Kung, audience signals, the most atypical Mike\u2019s Groove I have seen to this day, and just the overall experience of euphoria and belonging in the air made it something I will never forget. It was truly a life changing experience and Phish has endured as a major portion of my being ever since. I wear a handcrafted gold Phish ring on my hand. My car is adorned with a PH1SH license plate. I saw my 3oth show on my 30th birthday. My son was conceived during Coventry weekend. Twenty years later, I\u2019m still upside down.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Setlist via <a href=\"http:\/\/Phish.net\">Phish.net<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Set 1<\/strong>: Llama, Bouncing Around the Room &gt; Poor Heart &gt; Stash[1] -&gt; Makisupa Policeman, Reba[2], Maze, Colonel Forbin&#8217;s Ascent &gt; Fly Famous Mockingbird[3] &gt; Cavern<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Set 2<\/strong>: Also Sprach Zarathustra &gt; Mike&#8217;s Song[4] -&gt; Kung -&gt; Mike&#8217;s Song &gt; The Man Who Stepped Into Yesterday &gt; Avenu Malkenu &gt; The Sloth, Sparkle, My Friend, My Friend[5] &gt; McGrupp and the Watchful Hosemasters -&gt; Purple Rain &gt; Hold Your Head Up, Run Like an Antelope<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Encore<\/strong>: Carolina, La Grange<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">[1] Unfinished.<br>[2] No whistling.<br>[3] Narration dealt with the &#8220;Roller Coaster of the Mind.&#8221;<br>[4] Aw Fuck! and Oom Pa Pa signals.<br>[5] Beginning featured Trey on acoustic guitar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Llama (Live)\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8tkhSwFBIgs?list=PL9Wl32x4roQEbXK6G5CzQftC5XNPeJ9Wl\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I first heard of this band called Phish in the middle of my first year of college at SUNY Alfred from a fellow architecture student.
