Comment
[1] First known Phish performance.
[2] First known performance.
[3] First known Phish performance; missing final lyrics.
[4] Marc Daubert.
[5] First known Phish performance; Dude of Life on vocals.
[6] First known performance; Dude of Life on vocals.

Skippy and Fluffhead featured The Dude of Life on vocals. The jam after Camel Walk may have been Back Porch Boogie Blues. Spanish Flea included an introduction of the band members. Don’t Want You No More was not performed in its entirety, as it lacked the final lyrics. The lengthy percussion jam featured a guest appearance from Marc Daubert. Mike recalls that there were approximately 200 people in the audience. This gig featured the first known version of Slave to the Traffic Light and Fluffhead, the first known Phish versions of Fire, Don't Want You No More, Cities, and Skippy the Wondermouse, and the only known Phish version of Spanish Flea. This performance was on the upstairs level of Nectar's.

First gig at Nectar's and earliest circulating tape (May be the first taped gig). With Marc Daubert (who was a member of the band at the time, though only briefly so). requires 80 min CD NOTES: Thanks to Lee Farber for the original seed! There was some re-mastering done to clean up the original tape hiss from this classic show. The processes I took are as follows: 1) Amplified both discs 175% across the board. 2) Sampled a section of silence to obtain a decent noise floor sample (25,000 sample points used). 3) Applied this sample against both discs at 64 percent. 4) Applied a graphic equalizer to boost the high and low spectrums (specifically between 600 - 800 Hz and 8k & 10 kHz) thanks to Kevin Flood for uploading this seed to me - davepeterson
