Audience Recordings of Phish 3/6/09 Hampton Reunion Show

Now you might ask, why you would want an audience taper recording vs. the soundboard mp3s that you can download for free (ending soon)?  The simple reason is with the soundboard recording you miss out on how amazingly loud and accurate the audience was.  In this version, you can hear what it was like to [...]
