This show was an African Relief benefit for OXFAM. Fire Up the Ganja (which is the song Fire on the Mountain with different lyrics) featured Bobby Hackney and Jah Roy of the band Lambsbread on vocals. This setlist is incomplete and featured the first known version of Anarchy and first known Phish version of Fire Up the Ganja. This is the first known version of Skippy to have McGrupp lyrics. (This song was called Skippy by the band at this time, even though it eventually became McGrupp.)

This was Phish’s 13th show, an African Relief Benefit for OXFAM dance party that was connected to a WRUV-FM Valentine’s Day Radiothon with a fund-raising goal of $13,993.00. Local reggae band Lambsbread was supposed to play too but they canceled so members of Lambsbread performed with Phish. This show featured the 1st public performance of Anarchy, which is an extremely short punk rock spoof. Fire On The Mountain was performed with Bobby Hackney and Jah Roy from Lambsbread, who sung the lyrics “Fire up the Ganja”. In Mike’s words, Jah Roy was the other singer from Lambsbread (in addition to Bobby) with huge dreadlocks who did the authentic Jamaican dub style. While the band still referred to the song as Skippy The Wondermouse, this version of Skippy was the 1st to contain the narrated lyrics to McGrupp And The Watchful Hosemasters, which Tom had recently sent to Trey. Tapes of this performance, sometimes combined with parts of 5/3/85, were often mislabeled 4/19/85 or 5/19/85.

Notes: Sounds like a show from 1985, not crisp by any means. But I like the long Fire up the Ganja.

The Midnight Hour (5:16) *With members of Lamb's Bread Notes: -tape flip at t4 10:06 Fixes: -Cool Edit hiss reduction set at FFT size 6000, precision factor 15, transition width 4 dB, hiss reduction 5 dB. This is all that circulates of this show though at the end of Midnight Hour, Trey says, "We'll take a short break and be right right back," which indicates that this is only a partial show. Since the tape flip occurs about 39 minutes into the 'show', it seems that there may be some more that was recorded previously and has been lost.
