Never have heard this show, and maybe never will. However, I gave it a 5.0 rating because this show was on the day I was born. Yaknow what they say ... Born on the day of a PHiSH show ... (Fill in the rest yourself).

Hey there. Was just talking to an old friend of mine who met up with me at this show. We've been friends since elementary school. He remembered that I taped this show and asked if I still have the tapes. I do! Didn't realize this show isn't in the archives so not sure what this might mean to the community. I haven't really kept up with the band very much, but my good friends still love to attend their shows. Anyway, that's my two cents. I remember it was a fun show, but I was pretty nervous because I was only 19 at the time and used fake ID to get in. The bouncers were perplexed by my big bag of recording equipment and weren't going to let me in because they said the band didn't let people tape them. But they eventually let me in. I was at the front of the line before the show too. I wasn't using the most sophisticated equipment, but the show sounds pretty good. I had a two track and an omnidirectional mic. Also had a stand for the mic I set up on a table so it was above the crowd. I was too nervous to get any beer while I was there because I didn't want to potentially get kicked out if anyone questioned my age. I also didn't want to leave my equipment, even though I ran into several friends from Potsdam there who would have kept an eye on it, although they were all pretty plastered. I had driven out from Albany. My first show was at Pauly's Hotel in Albany on May 11th, 1989. I still have the promo poster they put in the window for this show. I recorded some other shows around this time too: Hampshire College and The Chance in Poughkeepsie. Good times. Thanks for reading this.

I am the source of this setlist as I am the source of the tape and list sent to Andy Gadiel about 5 years ago.

I have recently re-transferred this show via Nak Cr7 24/96 and will seed it most likely on or near the 20th anniversary of its playing. We have the only recording made of this show as the band did not record this show.

Radio Shack mics were used.
Recorded to Sony d5's
by Terry Cartin and his partner Bryan Thompson.

The second side of the first set tape was not recorded or only exists on Terry's master. Bryan's tape was not flipped for some reason. And therefore we do not know what was played after the first 45mins of the first set. If someone has the complete list, come forward please. Terry's masters are in storage on a different coast of the USA and we are not able to confirm anything after the Tweezer from the first set.

The end of the first set is a mystery and the GTBT I sent with my list was just a memory of mine and I vauguely recall it. I may be mistaken and most likely if it was played, there were a few more songs before it. I was very drunk as it was $3/pitcher night and this was my very first PHISH show. I didn't know any songs, but I seem to remember GTBT as I knew that song and they ripped it up. I chatted with Page during setbreak for a good 15mins. Other than that..I don't even remember if I made it to the end of the show b4 leaving or not. This show marked the turning point for me. PHISH imo was not very good at this point, but this show changed my opinion very quickly. This was a very good one, and the only Syracuse show of the year.

A full Manteca occurs during the Tweezer so it should read Tweezer>Manteca>Tweezer.
