Phil steals the ball at the solo point, dribbles hard down the court, and throws down -- like three times in a row and for the rest of the song... can't close the doors when the Walls of Phil cave in!

Attics of My Life
June 6, 1993
Giants Stadium

I was lucky to catch Attics in ’89 and then even four or five times after, but I never contemplated that they’d break it out in a stadium. Wow. And then again at Giant’s the following summer. Yet, this show was like the last party that represented what the GD experience was all about (for me, anyway) even though I went to more shows this year and in the remaining years. This brings me to 6693 on the chart here, and it was my 66th show, FWIW.
