Today in Phishtory: 2/14/97 Brussels, Belgium

When I think about Belgium, two things come to mind... chocloate and Jean-Claude Van Damme. Then Phish came to town during their 1997 Winter tour of Europe and lit Brussels on fire with a scorching show.

Only the second time ever that Phish played rare tunes such as Walfredo and Rocko William.

Part 1 included a couple of doozies with heavy hitters such as YEM and Antelope.

Part 3 is my favorite bunch with an unfinished Scent of a Mule > Day in the Life double dip. Zero encore gave me a hard on when I listened to it.

Never got to see Phish anywhere but in the US, and didn't get to see them enough there. But those Europe shows are legendary, man do I ever want to see Phish play there. Here's hoping they announce a small Europe 2010. Will give us just enough time to save up.
