We’ve certainly looked back at where the Dead got their start here on Welcome To Now, But we’ve never really examined Phish’s musical origins. With Halloween approaching and now less than 2 weeks away, this is as good of a time as any to check out this crispy peice of Phishtory from Oct. 30th, 1985. The show includes the first ever live performance of Harry Hood, and a few other songs that have remained an integral part the cannon of Phish 2.0 and 3.0: Slave to the Traffic Light, Possum, and Sneaking Sally through the Alley. Enjoy!
