This was my first show after my mini tour up the east coast in October. I got shout out of Charlottesville and caught a ride up to my hometown with a fairly large crew. there were 11 of us in 2 sedans and it was like a 12 hour drive. It was pretty fucking crazy.

I took them all to my house where my mom lived. She was just happy to see me so she let them all sleep in the house. We all went up to Glens Falls and I got shut out which bummed me out so hard I dropped off tour. I had a ride all the way out west and nothing to do but I was just too sad.

I met a 16 year old kid there who everyone was calling Junior. He was like a total punk rocker not what you would think of as a Phish fan. He told me he got wasted at a Dead show in Cali fell asleep in a guys van. When he woke up however much later he was headed east to hook up with Phish tour. Last I saw him he was going to live with a metal band he met at a local bar. He was pretty wasted...

So I couldn't stay away and I made my reappearance in Providence. Great night to come home! I was with my friend Lee and I don't believe either of us had tickets. Last minute decisions are the best minute decisions...Providence had a pretty nice scene we met some cool folks that show. Lee and I got stuck in an elevator on the way into the show. We were bugging out but luckily got let out a few minutes later.

This show is phenomenal .I still think Fall 94 is up there with the great tours. Every show I attended or listened to pretty much is spot on. The Bowie was great with the Lassie whistles I was freaking out pretty good. The Jim/Foam combo was segued perfectly. When they open a show like that you know you are in for a special night. We had tickets for NYE so we were beyond excited for the next night. The boys were finally playing the big room...
