I am embarassed to say that despite being a Phish Phan since the mid-90s this was actually my first show. I know, sounds impossible, how could I have been a real fan without going to shows. I had a college roommate from Tulsa that got me into Phish, and I guess, it was connecting with a new friend (who also happened to be a huge fan) after I relocated from North Cali to the LA area 20 years later, that got me there. Regardless, I'm grateful - what an experience!!!!

As others have mentioned, the Roggae jam was sublime and some of the best live music I've ever heard period. And the YEM encore was just the icing on the cake. But I was blown away by the surprising power and high energy of the opening MM, Disease, and Heavy Things. Very unexpected to come out swinging so hard.

Being just about 20 bodies away from Bill Walton on the floor was pretty cool too. He was easy to spot being head and shoulders above everyone else!

Overall, one of my 2015 highlights and I can't wait for next year's visit to the Forum. I feel like a real phan again!
