type II 1.5: Our First Shows, cont. (podcast)

Listen to Episode 1.5 [audio http://typeiicast.files.wordpress.com/2010/10/typeii_ep1_5.mp3]

Tonight we pick up where we left off discussing our first Phish shows with Steve and the remaining three members of the Type II Cast panel, Drew Hitz, Sam Davis and Eric Wyman.

We start off traveling back to Winter of 1992 with Eric, who shares how a "tease" of "On Broadway" cemented him firmly in Phish's musical grasp in a clip from Mike's Song. Check out the setlist...

Next up is Sam from Dogoneblog who brings a different experience prior to his first show in 1999. We take a listen to the boys gelling together on Ghost, What's The Use and a decidedly "un-zep" jam in Misty Mountain Hop. Here's a look at the setlist.

Up third is Drew with his first show from New Years '93 and how four "idiots" stepped on stage and would forever change the path of a talented classical musician. And why a raging finale to Split Open and Melt will beat out Character Zero any day. Take a peek at the setlist...

Last but not least, we take a quick listen to a clip from Steve's first show at Penn State in '97 and we all wonder how someone who hadn't listened to any significant amount of Phish prior to the show really felt after a 29 minute Simple.
We'll be back again next week, LIVE while Phish plays in Augusta ME discussing the first week of Fall tour with Tanya, Jay, Scotty and Steve. We hope you enjoy the show, let us know what you think in the comments!
