This was an all ages, 1-set show opening for Santana. It was Phish’s 1st show at Riverport (then briefly billed as Riverport Performing Arts Center), a suburban St. Louis amphtiheater with a capacity of about 20,000. The show was listed in the June/July/August 92 Phish Update as Deer Creek Music Center but happened at Riverport, which was already infamous for a fan riot in summer 1991 that occured when Axl Rose jumped into the audience to tackle a photographer at a Guns N’ Roses show. This riotous David Bowie began with a false start of Cavern and, during the intro, Oom Pah Pah and The Simpsons secret language. Before Rockytop, Trey announced “well we’ve got time for one more song, then we’re gonna get Carlos out here.” During Rocky Top, the band was full of screams and testimony, especially during Page’s piano solo. This was the last show of Santana tour for more than a week until the western leg began at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles.

review from Phish.net: "one of the worst recordings I've ever heard"

REVIEW BY DOLLARBILL
DollarBill This another audience recording from the Summer 92 Santana Tour. I don't mean to be cruel to the taper but, this has to be one of the worst recordings I've ever heard. Sorry. There is no low end to speak of and the mic keeps getting repositioned in the begining. Again, sorry, but I am glad I heard it just for history's sake.
Chalk Dust cuts in right at the "flutters away" line before the first chorus. Not a bad opener. Guelah is nice and tight. Rift has also improved since changing the structure. Oh Kee Pa > Suzy is good, pretty normal. Then we have an obvious f**k up as Fishman goes into his Cavern intro even though Trey is into the Bowie intro. Leading everyone into a strange limbo between the two until Fishman stops and goes into Bowie. Bowie itself is pretty good, although a little loose in parts. An actual Cavern comes next with an equally messed up intro as Trey gets right into it and Mike and Page go diminished like usual. Cavern itself is not too bad. Funny, you can hear some lady ask the taper "What's the name of this band?" before the Adeline closer.
Not too bad of a set but, an awful recording.
