Video of 10/16/96 #phish Lake Placid has surfaced. Haven't revisited this show since I walked out of the venue thinking, "wow, that was awful" and questioning my fandom.
40 minutes in and confirming I was young, spoiled and couldn't get my preconceived expectations out of the way to enjoy some of the quick evolutions #phish made throughout the mid '90s.
Pretty good thus far

@heyscottyb Does anything stand out? Or is it just that the band sounds good? This show is a legendary clunker.
Attached: 1 image #Phish40Disappointments #RANKED #34 10/16/96 Lake Placid First show since the Clifford Ball at an intimate arena only a two-hour drive from Burlington, VT. Can’t miss! It missed. Commonly cited as “worst show I ever saw” by fans in attendance, this night set the tone for an underwhelming Fall 96 swing that still plagues that tour’s reputation to this day.
