What was the Great Went?As a sequel to the Clifford Ball, the Great Went was held in August 1997 at the former Loring Air Force Base (now the Loring Commerce Centre) in Limestone, Maine. (A third sequel, The LemonWheel, was held in August of 1998.) The name of the event comes from a line in a David Lynch movie, Fire Walk With Me, which is itself a reference to an episode of Twin Peaks. This is as far north and east as you can get and not be in Canada, in a beautiful area, in blueberry (and black fly) season.
Great Went events included:
* Almost 500 minutes of music, in 6 sets and 2 encores. (8/16 I-115:40, II-68:27, III-58:36, E-13:12; 8/17: I-77:01, II-94:54, III-57:11, E-12:01 -- thanks, ZZYZX!)
* The world's largest fire truck hosed down thousands of fans as they raced in Saturday as the gates opened. (Picture forthcoming; I need to scan it.)
* Disco: From roughly 2am to roughly 3am on Sunday morning (the night after the first of the two shows), a "disco" (more like a Euro-techno rave) was put on at the left entrance to the concert area.
o As Luann Abrahms explained (8/28/97), "the band had a huge trailer with a lighting rig on it, set up with what Trey had called 'lots of crappy 70's keyboards.' They dug up every Moog and Korg antique they could find for this. Jon's was full of drum patches, Mike's sounded relatively bass-like, and Trey and Page were sharing a couple of more multipurpose synth set-ups. There were strobe lights and a disco mirrored ball, and smoke pouring off of this big semi. ... Musically, it sounded like they were going for a techno/industrial kind of thing, but since Fishman would rather die than be trapped in a 4/4 beat, it kept veering into weirder and weirder territory. Every once in a while, one of them would say 'Shake it baby' or 'Groove on it' or something, which would then get sampled and stretched into the rest of the groove. It wasn't 'Phish', I guess, but it was fun, and a great addition to the party atmosphere.".

12/95 is perhaps the most storied month of their career.
I was at the Great Went. I slept through the trailer set. My hair got sunburnt.
