Hi everybody and welcome to this week’s episode of Attendance Bias. I am your host, Brian Weinstein. While we’ve spent a good amount of time on Attendance Bias discussing the fall 1995 tour, there was a short southeast swing after the Quadrophenia Halloween show that we’ve never touched on, and that I have to admit, I don’t think I’ve ever listened to. After Halloween in Chicago, the band took an 8-day break and then played three nights in Atlanta before 4 consecutive nights traveling and playing shows in the state of Florida. Today’s guest, Matthew Wheelwright is here to tell about one of those shows: November 14, 1995 at the University of Central Florida Arena in Orlando.
Matthew is an ideal guest to tell us about this outstanding show from fall 95: he’s seen a ton of shows since 1990, he is a knowledgeable fan who can tell about the show both in real time and in context of Phish history, and is just as excited to talk about the show today in 2024 as he was 19 years ago.
Not only does the audience recording from this show sound pristine, but there’s plenty to highlight: a psychedelic version of “Free,” a fully acoustic “I’m Blue, I’m Lonesome,” and the best known part of this show: an insane sequence the kicks off with “Stash” and goes in and out of several segments before closing with “You Enjoy Myself.”
But all that just scratches the surface. Let’s join Matthew to talk about dynamics, clean cut college kids, and why you should thank a taper today, as we discuss Phish’s show from November 14, 1995 at The UCF Arena in Orlando.
