Five More From Summer ’95
Great Woods 7-1-95
Let’ start the week off with another dip into the primordial psychedelia of Summer ’95—the band’s most experimental tour ever.

“Mike’s Song” 6.20 II, Cuyahoga Falls, OH
This menacing version descended upon Blossom, leaving many wide-eyed fans wondering what had just happened.

“Tweezer > Gumbo” 6.28 II, Wantagh, NY
Another multi-faceted and experimental monster, featuring “Dave’s Energy Guide” and a jam on The Breeder’s “Cannonball,” from the first night at Jones Beach.

“Runaway Jim -> Makisupa” 7.2 II, Sugarbush, VT
A hard-edged and grinding jam eventually melts into “Makisupa” on the first night of Sugarbush’s summer-ending precursor to The Clifford Ball.

So, dates are confirmed.
Definitely hitting the (2) Worcester shows (indoor in the summer!!).
Has anyone been to the Bader Field venue in AC? I hear it’s terrible, and I’m wondering if it’s worth the trip down from Boston. Hanging outside in AC doesn’t sound too pleasant to me…but it is Phish;)
