I'm a Philly sports nut, but if there's anything I was ever more passionate about it was music. I think it's safe to say I was a Phish head at multiple points in my life -- perhaps even 'til this day.
It all started 10 years ago today at the Spectrum. It was one of those nights that changed a 16 year old's life.
Here's the setlist:
