I will never forget him as he was the one that got me into this band along with a crew of other great people. RIP Aaron! Score: 8 pm , attached to Review by kaufmak Almost twenty years on, what I remember most is the rain. The only other one that compares is when I went to see Todd Rundgren at the zoo. The Phoenix Plaza was on top of a parking structure in lovely Pontiac, Michigan. I was in grad school at Michigan State and was gradually getting into Phish during the previous year.
I would go over to the computer lab almost every day to check out rec. I found all the consternation a little much, but it would be the first of many things that were going to change everything, and never for the better. This intrigued me. I had gotten pretty adroit at picking up tickets right before a show, more often than not with pretty good seats; The Rolling Stones, Paul McCarty, Roger Waters had all been last second purchases.
Who was this band that no one would give up a ticket? Ironically, when we got to Pontiac, I had an extra ticket. I remember wanting to get an official Phish t-shirt, sort of my physical manifestation of being a fan. I wanted a black shirt with the colorful logo, nothing else. It made me feel legit. There was the stage and basically a concrete slab, no greenery to speak of, no grade to the floor basically it looked like they set up shop in a mall parking lot.
When the band came out, almost on queue the rain started. At first it was so bad, everyone was resigned that tonight, we were going to get wet. I mean it is ok, but it always seems to get truncated, especially in the first set. After SOAM, something happened. The band started a song I had never heard, but seeing how this was my first show, nothing strange about that.
Even so, there was a buzz, people were high-fiving, grinning, and scribbling notes in notebooks. I had witnessed my first bust-out. The rest of the set was pretty pedestrian, looking back. Did I mention the rain? What had been a pretty steady shower got more and more intense as the second set approached. I was excited to hear David Bowie at my first show, and it was the first really extended jam I heard Phish play, clocking in around 13 minutes.
