Free show in Burlington's Battery Park overlooking Lake Champlain. Probably around 500 in attendance, right before things got big.

This was the first of the summer tour shows featuring the Giant Country Horns. It happened in Battery Park which is on a cliff overlooking Lake Champlain and has a small no-frills band shell. It was a free concert and maybe two hundred people or so showed up. It was a great concert. Hearing the horn arrangements was awesome, they added a lot to the songs, though it did limit a little the amount of free-jamming the band could get into. At the time, I lived just a few blocks away on N. Champlain St. above Stanard's Market, so I went over with a friend of mine and we split a bottle of wine and a "J". Fishman was funny, singing "Touch Me", standing at the mic wearing that odd doughnut dress. I got up and slam danced to BBFCFM as if it was a punk show at 242 (if you remember 242, give me a high five!!). The scene was pretty mellow, warm sun, light breeze, the sparkling surface of Lake Champlain with the blue-green-grey vista of the Adirondaks in the distance. People were doing their thing, sitting or noodle-dancing. There were some cops there but they were mellow also, until a group of freaks decided to surround a police cruiser and try to levitate it. The whole concert experience was a lot of fun, very informal, and it is the kind of scene I really missed after 1992 when Phish became a huge international success and lost that small gig intimacy.
