I still can't believe duketaylor has contributed nothing more to this thread. S/he just straight dropped the "REM=DMB" bomb, told us to discuss, and left!
I was thinking ‘90-‘91 but just checked that site, it shows 2 gigs there later in 1991 but not the NYE show so maybe my date is wrong. I know I saw them at a small place in DC the summer of ‘90 with Col. Bruce & ACU opening for Phish:

Reality set back in. Met the wife and that was a wrap .hugo wrecked the area

It changed the Charleston area .quite sure everyone's lives changed in the area.
I'm not sure it ever regained what it was .that or my perception changed.maybe some of both. Can't imagine what they went through in Florida and Louisiana.
Nah Microdot I purchased at a phish concert. Not one of my better choices .
Should have walked away . Never touched it again.
I'm not sure of the exact chemical compound or if there's a difference in types .why they made it in the first place or what actual intended purpose.
Hugo was quite a mess! One of my mom's friends ran a needlework shop in Charleston and kept stock in their garage. Kids were returning those plastic tensioning rings for several years after Hugo - they kept finding them hanging in bushes and trees.
Our farm in in the NC mountains, just south of Virginia, lost dozens of trees (mostly locusts) to Hugo. We had a guy bring a portable mill and turn them into fence posts. He got the remainder of the posts in exchange for removing all the downed trees/subsequent debris and repairing the fence where trees took it down.
