The 4,000 seat capacity theater was Phish's largest indoor audience at the time. This show marked the debut of Marjorie Minkin's (bassist Mike Gordon's mom) new 8- panel, plexiglass backdrop which replacing her original canvas piece the band had used to showcase lighting designer Chris Kuroda’s work. During the show, Trey played with a voice box called "The Final Word - a keychain which uttered curse words on demand. You can hear this on the songs Sparkle, Esther, and during the opening of Wilson. Before "Divided Sky" Trey dedicated the song to a fan named Chris Gainty, who was seeing his first show since a car accident had left him in a coma five months earlier.
