Before performing at the Flyers\u2019 original home, The Spectrum, for the first time on December 15th, 1995, the seminal jam band visited the team\u2019s training center to meet various players. Prior to the show that evening, guitarist and vocalist Trey Anastasio wore a Flyers #10 John LeClair jersey, much to the delight of the fans in attendance.
