Me likes the eargasm retroplasm...
I used to see Phis a lot back in the early 90's. At one show I was near the soundboard and noticed the setlist, through multiple encores, hand-written on a piece of paper taped to the board. Every show after that, if near the board, I'd check, and the list was there. They didn't improvise, at least not at any of the shows I went to. The only shows that maybe were kind of a surprise were Halloween, when you could at least vote on what you wanted them to covert. YMMV.
Okay. I have had many friends who run the board, and you know that the "set list" is suggestive at a Phish concert.
Did the set list say: "Billy Breathes"- 18 min. and then a "taste" of "free" and then meld into "Reba" for 24 min?
