This was great. Thanks for posting! The very end was beautiful, with the wide open road and the gentle fall of snow, especially with the music over the PA. It made me nostalgic for those simpler times. You go out on a cold, snowy night to hear a band that is rising to the height of their powers. They feel like a secret that no one really knows about. They're still young, hungry, overflowing with energy and desire to blow the roof off the place, because when they do it's as exciting for them as it is for us. They still had something to prove back then. We didn't have cell phones broadband or anything. When we left for the show, no one could get ahold of us. We wrote the setlist on a scrap of paper as they played. Gas was $1.19/gal. The drive back is just you and your friends coming down from that high, minds blown, tired from dancing, and loving being young, even if we can't possibly appreciate it fully, because we've known nothing else.

Azazello1482 well said my friend, well said. I couldn’t agree more. These are the Phish shows that speak loudest to me. They were a band on the rise. Trying to throw down the gauntlet each and every night to prove that THEY were the best live band out there. Indeed we felt like we were in on a secret that others were not privy to. I’ll never forget walking out into that blizzard.

[@rickmenard9327]

Your post makes me want to cry! Your right ! Such a Simpler time. I was on the road with them from 90 to 95 unbelievable time!

[@stuartangel8212]

Very well said

[@scottduke9940]

Nailed it

[@mattginacarr9601]

Phish and gamehendge were my very first concert ever March 22 1993 best show ever.

[@bcp5296d]

93 foams are the best things ever

[@dmcguriman]

what blows me away, is that's what it looked like back then, even in my minds eye today

[@kevinmurtagh4996]

I love this show so much. The Stash remains of one my favorite Stashes.

[@colmancostello]

I’m still trying to get outta that maze .!

[@forthedoggiesguitars2277]

Back in the day, Phish would come out of the gate fast playing a click or two above the speed.

[@nicksantora3456]

Drove through the snow for the this one when we were 16. Very special time and place.

[@addictedtoadrenaline]

Trippn’N’ slipppin my way there also .

[@tomservo1971]

My first show. It was snowing like hell outside and that made it even better. Thanks for this!

[@rickmenard9327]

I was there and boy do I feel old

[@colmancostello]

My first show ..! Snow storm was nuts !.. so we’re the “window panes”

[@FreddySneakers]

My second show. I taped it. It didn't really come out that good lol. Great Snowball fight after the show

[@ryangrossi290]

I had this on VHS tape in the 90s

[@Throplife]

Just appreciate the time gap... what a lovely teen experience

[@rugbyloveintay]

So wild to me that they used to sneak these giant cameras in.. kids these days are hesitant to sneak in dab pens

[@ericfureal3257]

I don't think anyone is now, or ever has been hesitant to bring anything in.

[@cshubs]

Security was light at Phish shows until after Jerry died in 95 when the shows got massive and the reputation followed. My first show was in Vermont in 91. It was quite the time back then.

[@WoodstockBuddha]

The camera was an 8mm small Sony camcorder and true they used to let almost anything in except for bottles/cans. Taper section also allowed bags in which anything could be smuggled or hidden. This taper, who I know walked right in with a tripod and the cam at the bottom of a backpack wrapped in a t-shirt.

[@allagash216]

It was dumping snow!! Getting to Portland was a challenge

[@redbeard16]

coming from D.C. the night before was also an adventure! But that Portland show! holy hell!

[@Krazy_Shorts]

Wow....New Haven Coliseum! That place is long gone.

[@dmcguriman]

I lived those times, and didnt realize how amazing fishman was then, or page, I was so focused on trey and mike

[@dmcguriman]

also compare this glide to 9/8/2000 or coventry lol

[@rickbruneau3590]

I had a friend from Agawam MA that was there. He was probably 15 at the time.

[@Throplife]

go brownies!

[@katzpdx]

Ahhhhh! Such a great show. Like others have said, the snow was insane. Had to skip the Portland show but this night and the Centrum show were so freaking fun.

[@FreddySneakers]

I drove to portland in my 66 vw bus from there, made it as far as RI, then switched to a pickup truck 12-30-93 was insane.

[@BW-pr8qr]

Ahhh! the Coliseum! So many fond memories.. Thank you for sharing.. I was not at this show, as my very first Phish show would be 2 years later at this very venue on 12/2/95.. Hooked ever since.. THank you!

[@dmcguriman]

i forgot how good antelope can be, 93 and 94 antelope ftw

[@hanaf1231]

Agreed. Seems to have structure throughout

[@scottduke9940]

I wuz there, trippy, snowy ride home

[@robdoty6903]

Page's Coil codas are unbelievable! SO GOOD

[@micahjared8082]

I was here.

[@Throplife]

Third comment super annoying.. I’m just so glad this exists… this was the doorstep of extreme greatness never to be matched in a very long while.

[@Throplife]

When mike has his Steve Jobs costume you are going’s to be faced by him.

[@chrissterrmusic]

This is wonderful. What are the odds of having 12/31/93 in your bag of tricks?

[@thepharchive6778]

I wish.

[@jaywilson7832]

The band has it, maybe only set three. We'll see it, and more of Big Cypress sometime! 🤞 🐠🤞

[@jaymccarthy6535]

Imagine getting footage of that 😲

[@BrendanMcMahon-gx4rd]

It's on yout. Or it was. I watched 😮hal🎉a dozen times. Machine gun trey

[@stoneystank7355]

When I get home from work whaddo I doooo?

[@JordanAnastasio]

I didnt hear anything about connie chung

[@euphegenia]

Woahhhh awesome!! You don’t happen to have 12/31/93 do you??

[@thepharchive6778]

I don' believe it exists. Maybe they have it in the vault.

[@euphegenia]

The Pharchive it’s the holy grail as far as I’m concerned. I sincerely hope someone has footage of that show, at least in part.

[@rugbyloveintay]

@@thepharchive6778 I dont believe they started filming every performance until summer 95. Good chance they dont have this one
