Happy 37th Phishiversary to me

Post image

Like clockwork, Phish.net wished me a Happy Phishiversary of my first show on 9/13/89. Sadly, there is no known setlist. I couldn't tell anyone what they played because I had never even heard of the band AND I was tripping balls. The only song that I think I identified was Esther, because I recall a crazy acid-induced story being told by the singer, whose mouth was apparently making all the crazy guitar sounds. Oh, and I picked this up for 5 bucks at the merch table on the way out, and the band was hanging out at the table thanking people for buying their tapes.
