This was the first show for me after I ditched my Dad and just went with the flow. After Gainesville the guy I was driving with suggested we go to a Rainbow farm in Jeffersonville Georgia... This turned out to be a great suggestion. I had never been to a Rainbow gathering but this was the next best thing. When we showed up we ran into some familiar faces from tour and it was a very heady scene. I hate the word hippie but I can't think of any other way to describe the people. Just very accepting and open to anyone who showed respect.

The first night of my tour I got eaten alive by fire ants and I itched for a week. I wasn't the only one and when we told our hosts about it they told us about a pond that had clay that would cure our itches. I was very skeptical but figured it couldn't hurt. That stuff worked better than any calamine lotion I ever used. It cured me and I was most thankful....

So we got to the show the next day very early. So did most of the other travelers. At this point the touring scene consisted of 50 cars or so. I ran into a friend of mine from upstate NY which was pretty cool. He was the first guy I ever met who had multiple jars of dank. I also got to smoke out of great glass on that tour. Everyone seemed to have Bobs who was the heady blower. I had no idea about any of that stuff but the bowls were really cool... Jeff had one called the enterprise which was amazing...I met Mike in the parking lot at this one. He was just walking around chilling out. Very nice guy totally gracious. At this point I felt like we were just all one big family.

This show was great. It was a small theater and I'm pretty sure it sold out. But they didnt rip tickets so EVERYONE got in. It was fantastic. I remember the acoustics were exceptional. Melt and Lizards were the highlight of the first set but the Mike's Groove from the 2nd set was the highlight of my tour. It just flowed so nicely and then dropped into Glide which is my favorite Phish tune to see live. Fishman's song was totally perfect for my mindset. I had nothing to do in the world but see Phish every night. It was a great life.
