Just passing this along. Not my recordings/channel. I'm just surprised to see this. I used to collect a lot of VHS back in the 90's and this definitely didn't circulate. Apparently it never has. Until yesterday.

On the occasion of it's 22nd Anniversary. Extremely rare, never-before posted footage. Full concert by Phish at the UMass Amherst Student Union Ballroom. Produced by David Caputo of Positronic Design, The SEO Company in association with The Weekly News and UMass Radical Student Union and Social Thought and Political Economy Department (STPEC). Filmed with permission of the band. Amazing AC/DC Bag. Whole show was great. Room was electric. Widespread Panic and Gene Matthews opened up.
