Kanada Kev Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 I remember that show well. Ended up backstage after the gig due to a conversation with the big dude who was head of Phish's security (name escapes me now). Saw Fishman and Gordon back there along with some friends. Talked to Gordon briefly ... asked him where that Misty Mountain Hop came from. He just shrugged and said "I don't know ... it just appeared and felt right" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Low Roller Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 This was the first Phish show I ever listened to I think. Dave-O slipped me a Phish show at work in 2001, and next thing I knew I was pulled into the rabbit hole.I credit Booche for feeding me my first Dead material as well. I always thought they were some sort of hair band from the 70's before that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freak By Night Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 Yep. A lot of us were there. Great show!Notable moment for me after the show: being politely asked to leave the Comfort Zone after I tried to sit down on a chair and missed.

Booche Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 My first show. Too bad you never saw a good Phish show, noob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayr Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 (edited) My first show as well. I remember trying to get out of an EI meeting because I thought I might be late for the show. The lady at Human Resources however was very hard to convince that I had an extremely important wedding to attend on a Tuesday afternoon. Made the show but missed the first 2 songs.EDIT: Also, one of my favourite memories from the show was an ultra low note that Mike hit during What's The Use that literally blew me back like a 100mph wind.

YearsAlongTheSea Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 (edited) Oswego was gross.

peipunk Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 I remember that show well. Ended up backstage after the gig due to a conversation with the big dude who was head of Phish's security (name escapes me now). Saw Fishman and Gordon back there along with some friends. Talked to Gordon briefly ... asked him where that Misty Mountain Hop came from. He just shrugged and said "I don't know ... it just appeared and felt right" I have my own opinion on that, and I KNOW I have told this story on this board before, many years ago, hehe...... I was at Oswego (with my buddy Geoff who I am going to the Gorge with in a couple weeks), and after the second day, we were unwinding in The Green listening to a DJ. I was stretched out on the grass when I said to Geoff "Hey man that guy beside us sure looks a lot like Fishman". Geoff looked over and said "man....that IS Fishman!". So that was fine, we amused ourselves for a little while by watching him smoke some doobies with a few girls, and seeing people just walking by realize it was him. After a little while of this, the DJ, who was doing Skratch Bastid type classic rock mixes, started playing, you guessed it, Misty Mountain Hop. I immediately sprang up and started rocking the fuck out. I look over beside me and Fishman is doing the same thing, playing air drums and losing his shit! It is my opinion that after that he went back to the boys and said "hey fellas, you know what we should do......." Thats my story and I'm sticking to it.

I don't think I have EVER been filthier than I was at the end of Oswego. The drive leaving there was rivaled only by Big Cypress in revulsion factor for me.

Kanada Kev Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 Big John Langenstein... Been with the boys since 94 and deff the man! That's IT! Thank you. Yeah, we were chatting away with him and figured we wouldn't get far. He asked us what we did. At the time, my wife and a buddy of mine, worked at a place near and dear to his heart. He asked a couple of quick questions so he knew we weren't shitting him. He gave us a big smile and told us to head right on in to the backstage party.
