John Langenstein (@RealLangenstein) was always nice to me and a joy to run into years ago when he was head of security for Phish. He's gone through some serious health issues and needs our help. Please RT and donate if you can. Thank you! 🙏

"The most heartening thing you take away from a #Phish show is a sense of musical religiosity: their faith in shared commitment buoys them and in turn buoys your faith in the music's possibilities." The Boston Phoenix Oct 27, 1989 (via 11/4/90 flyer)
30yrs since #phish 11/3/94 Mullins Center, University of Massachusetts Amherst - their 2nd sold out show of the year at this 9,500cap arena that's seen 6 shows to-date (’94-2010). Set I had a unique/hot Wilson > Peaches > Glide > Melt sequence.
30yrs since #phish 11/2/94 Bangor Auditorium in Bangor, ME - their 2nd of 2 shows at this 6,000cap venue. Tickets cost $18 and the show was sold out. The 31min Bangor Tweezer was released on A Live One.
28yrs since #phish 11/2/96 (w/ Karl Perazzo) at Coral Sky Amphitheater - the only outdoor date of fall and the band's only show at this newly opened shed in West Palm Beach. 'Coral Sky' was released in 2010 on JEMP @livephish.
Happy Dark Side Of The Moon Day. 26yrs since #phish 11/2/98 “E” Center in West Valley City, UT - where they learned DSOTM that afternoon and played the album (sandwiched inside Harpua) for the lucky few who made the trek from Vegas and Beyond #snoozeyoulose
I'll try to deliver some better ones in the next few days but happy DSotM Day!
it was on 11/2/98 that Phish decided to reward the few fans that showed up at the Utah show following 2 sold out nights in Vegas by playing the entire album. For the record, I was not one of them.
