So The Story Goes....

On July 10, 1999, Phish played a pretty solid show at the E Center in Camden, N.J., across the river from Philly. (The band would later release it as Live Phish Vol. 8.)
In the pavilion when the band came out, I could clearly see Trey wearing his Mia Hamm No. 9 USA women’s team jersey as he took the stage. The ladies has played China earlier that day in the final of the Women’s World Cup in Pasadena, Calif, and though I had seen much of the tournament, I missed the final because of the show. However, seeing Trey in that shirt confirmed the best of news.
The guy behind me saw the jersey, leaned over my shoulder and asked, “Hey man, you think Trey’ll tell us who won the match?”
My reply: “I’m pretty sure he just did.”
(Now my favorite photo of Trey ever!)

So stumbling around the internet I found this story about the Phish show in N.J. back in 1999. (I did not go to this show because I remember that I stayed behind to watch the USA vs China soccer match (I'm a huge soccer dork)... little did I realize what happened at that show)

Read the excerpt HERE.
