Phish - 08.17.97 - The Wedge -- Beauty of My Dreams

The Great Went (Day Two), Loring Air Force Base, Limestone, ME

please note: The video uploads for set one - day two of the Great Went, while having HQ audio, suffer from shakiness and occasional obstructions. The video does zoom in nicely at times, and gives a nice picture of the setting and the view from within the audience, "Page-side".

The color in the video is also washed-out a bit at the beginning of the set, but then becomes more saturated as the sun lowers in the afternoon sky. . .

- enjoy the first set! A fun, laid-back set with nice relaxed jamming - and bursts of energy in "Vultures", "Maze" and "Taste". . .

Man what a great time this festival was. My girlfriend and I flew from Portland Oregon to Portland Maine then hitch-hiked to the show in Limestone @ the closed Loring Air Force base on the Canadian border with 100,000 other freaks in the furthest corner of Northeast America! Stories abound........ Come to think of it what a great way of life this has all been.. on the bus since 1976! WALSTIB

This video helps me understand and have compassion for short folks at shows. I think i'd feel claustrophobic if I couldn't see around me, plus being right around arm-pit level must be rough. Admission should be cheaper. One Love

I was 16 years old at the great went. This brings me back to when this was all new to me and i was just realizing that this band was gonna part of me for the rest of my life

Wedge was the perfect opener after sleeping under a picnic table in a puddle the night before amidst a nasty rainstorm and total chaos. Turned out to be a great weekend though!

Fond memories of how much it rained early in the morning the 1st day...NAWT!! My GF was PMSing and she couldnt sleep after sitting in traffic overnite to get in....now in retrospect I hear this opener and can remember we just started kissin and huggin when they opened...it was like all the suffering was over and now the payoff had arrived....I love PHISH
