Wednesday, May 8 — This Day in Phish - Tory: The Date Is Correct. Finally.
It’s This Day in Phish - Tory and Matt nails it. Like, nails it. May 8. No Tuesday slippage. No accidental recap of a show from last week. Just good, clean calendar work. Give the man a ribbon.
Nick, meanwhile, opens the episode with a five-minute rant about Vermont license plates and ends up revealing his Phish tattoo is actually a barcode for a discontinued breakfast sandwich. The worst part? It scans.
Today we’re going back to 5/8/94 — Bee Cave, Texas.
Yes, Bee Cave. A real place. A real show. The kind of gig where the energy feels like it’s bouncing off the ceiling of a very sweaty post office. Fishman was unhinged (in a good way). Trey might have time-traveled. Or maybe that was the fog machine.
Also, some actual facts about May 8:
– Enrique Iglesias was born today in 1975.
– WWII in Europe officially ended, 1945.
– It’s Have a Coke and a Smile Day, which explains Nick’s morning beverage of Coke poured directly into a bowl of Frosted Flakes.
Was this show historic? Sure.
Do we treat it like it was a turning point in modern music? Of course.
Would Nick trade it for a chili dog and a DMB bootleg? Depends on who’s asking.
It’s May 8. The date is correct. The takes are not.
Let’s go.
