    For a second I thought this was from the 6/26/94 GameHoist show, the first live copy of Gamehendge I ever listened to.

    But man, as far as set lists go, that show is the perfect example of 1994 Phish. I don’t know how the playing is but on paper it looks like the perfect show to hand to a newbie to get hooked.

    06-11-94 Red Rocks Amphitheater, Morrison, CO

    1: Wilson, Chalk Dust Torture, You Enjoy Myself, Rift, Down With Disease, It’s Ice, Tela, Stash

    2: Also Sprach Zarathustra-> Run Like an Antelope, Fluffhead, Scent of a Mule, Split Open and Melt, The Squirming Coil, Maze, Contact-> Frankenstein

    Lucas: more likely that I’m mistaken — I’m a dumbass sometimes. :)
