If I Only Had a Brain instead Big Balls

This video is from 12/29/93 at the New Haven Coliseum in CT. The beginning shows the ending of the Big Ball Jam where each member of Phish would play along with a particular ball as it bounced around the audience. At the end, the crowd would shoot them into the "hoop" onstage. A brief HYHU follows. Then there's the classic Fishman cover song If I Only Had a Brain, preceded by some rambling about his new haircut he got in Los Angeles. You can see the cool fishtank stage props they had for the holiday '93 run in the background.

Glad to be Gliding on Gliders 7/21/93

This Glide video is from 7/21/93 at the Orange County Fairgrounds in Middletown, NY. The show was part of the H.O.R.D.E. (Horizons of Rock Developing Everywhere) Festival. Other bands that played that day were Allgood, Aquarium Rescue Unit, Big Head Todd & the Monsters, Blues Traveler, The Samples, and Widespread Panic. While Phish played many shows on the 1992 HORDE Tour, this was their only appearance at the festival in 1993. What's interesting about 1993 Glides is that Phish used these exercise glider things during the song. Supposedly (per the Phish Companion) they ordered them from a TV infomercial while at a motel on tour. The gliders were not seen after 1993.
