Today in Phishtory: 8/15/04 Coventry, VT

Trey and his Mom do the Sexy Bump!

Yeah, four years ago, Phish played their last show. Ever. It was sloppy and sad and highly emotional. I was wasted, covered in mud, and sort of in shock.

Notes:

**Trey and Mike bring out their mothers and do the 'sexy bump' dance with them. Then later, 'sandwich' their manager, John Paluska with it.
***Trey plays his guitar with a glow stick.
****Page gets emotional and starts crying.
