10.26 | Charlotte Coliseum

A show that has always been overshadowed by the Halloween hubbub in Atlanta just a few days later, this stop in Charlotte had plenty to offer. With a second set filled with feel-good Phish anthems, the band took the most improvisational liberty with “YEM,” “Simple” and “Antelope.”  This night had an upbeat feel from the beginning, and was a solid effort amidst a relatively generic east coast run to begin Fall ‘96. On this night, the Yankees clinched their first world series since 1978 shortly after the encore ended. Fans rushed up to the sky boxes to watch the final outs.
