These tapes converted a lot of Deadheads on my last day at college. Friends of mine who always had the best parties had a gathering that day and it was bittersweet since many of us had graduated and were leaving town soon after. On the stereo was set two of this show and everyone's energy level kept going up to higher and higher levels because the show is just so much damn fun. I remember Walk Away kicked in right then and I was so stoked because I didn't know they played it. My pals who were getting into Phish only had a few tapes and we had just scored these tapes so naturally we had to crank them up loud.

I know there were some who had never heard Phish before and were skeptical about them, but they were won over and I'll never forget that party and their smiles and falling over laughter especially at the Kiss shenanigans. But all of it was silly and it was exactly what that gathering needed. We just didn't know it.
