I was at the friday show actually was a little disappointed. mostly b/c i didnt get to hear YEM, Harry, or Chalkdust. still one of the 3 best concerts i've seen in the past year, but not quite what i was hoping for. Is it normal for the set break to be almost an hour? And then the encore to be all of 6 minutes?
I went with several Phish veterans that go back to even before the 96-98 period, and they said something very similar. They were all raving about how great the sets were Sunday even in comparison to past shows and the concert the night before. Those guys are artists.I tell ya, the jams and flow and song selections the last week or so is very 97-98-esque. I have a feeling that they are going to really blow our minds from here on out. all of the rust is gone and "anything can happen" phish is back.You certainly missed out on their 96-98 prime. Then again, so did I because I was only 14.I went to the show Sunday night at Merriweather Post Pavillion. It was my first Phish show. It's not just lip service -- Phish really is the best live band. Everything makes sense now.On a side note, I tailgated at a Phish show in '93. We tried to score tickets but couldn't get in. I wonder what might have been if I was exposed to a Phish show then. I now consider the last seventeen years of my life wasted.
Haven't been following the setlists really, but just looked them over and they do look pretty damn good, lots of random covers as well. Any recommendations on shows to d/l? On paper, 6/25, 6/24, 6/20, 6/17, and 6/13 look like my favorites from 6/13 to now. Not really a bad one in the bunch though.That new song Dr. Gabel has potentialSigmund Bloom said:I tell ya, the jams and flow and song selections the last week or so is very 97-98-esque.

Dude, that Camden friday show looks killer. Alumni Blues > Letter to Jimmy Page > Alumni Blues, Big Black Furry Creature from Mars, Runaway Jim to open the show looks crazy. Throw in a SOAM, Sloth, and Golgi and that is a hell of a set.Looks to me like they opened the 2nd set with Chalkdust but youre saying they didnt play itBillyBarooo said:
....Not a big fan of Caspian, Alaska, and Light, but I would have to imagine the 2001 > Billie Jean Jam > 2001 more than makes up for it.I dont see how you could be disappointed with this show unless someone spilled 3 of your $8 beers
both camden shows and both MPP shows are a good place to start.PS goo goo g'jooB!Haven't been following the setlists really, but just looked them over and they do look pretty damn good, lots of random covers as well.

That second set looked ridiculous.
The last 4 nights were unprecedented in terms of bustouts (gaps):Time Loves a Hero 8 yearsLight up or leave me alone 11 yearsHave Mercy 11 yearsF*&k Your Face 23 years (biggest bustout ever? yes, until they play prep school hippie)Proud Mary 7 yearsDestiny Unbound and Sanity, played last year, but very very rare over the history of the bandForbin's>MockingbirdHarpua (w/ full Killing in the name of)!
I was at both Camden shows and thought this was the song of the weekend. Well, besides getting an Alumni.
Friday is sold out, but I am positive there will be tickets around, the scalpers always try to cash in on it, leaving tons of available tickets on day of. I also think (hope) that there will be a Saturday night show here, or at least Thr/Sat shows in Houston and Dallas.Tiger Fan said:
thanks
Don't come in here posting this hype without a link. LINK??!?!ETA: WOW - KITNO is SICK! Harpua intro is slow and boring, so skip to around the 4:40 mark
Looks like there's a ton of versions on youtube, but the one my buddy emailed me
:goosebumps:
Awesome. Wish they'd busted it out during the prison lockdown that was Merriweather Post weekend. 40,000 outstretched middle fingers extended towards that police copter would have been incredibly cathartic.
Halloween in RI?
Does ACL allow you to play nearby that close to the festival? Most festival contracts have mandatory exclusivity clauses that prohibit bands from playing nearby for a period of time before/after the show. If you can see the band in the Arena two days prior, the value of their performance at the festival lessens significantly
I don't think they have anything like that in place. A lot of bands play in Dallas the days before or after their gig at ACL.
Here's what I found on the web:Austin City Limits:
There's three nights in Vegas on that schedule along with a bunch of other multi-night runs.No DC.
I was really looking forward to seeing them again after getting a taste this summer.

I didn't look at it right.
This baffles me. Maybe I'm thinking of SXSW.
Kinda a big story right now. Illinois Atty Gen has apparently openend up an antitrust investigation:
could be, but phish playing in dumpy college basketball arenas is over right?
last fall tour included places like ONCenter in Syracuse, the Knick in Albany, and CCCC in Portland. Cuse and Portland are glorified gym/convention center rooms. I dont think they're picky about venues, and some of those places (like Providence) have seen them in their finest moments.
True, I guess the one that sticks out to me on the list is the WVU Coliseum in Morgantown WV. Just seems acoustically phish would want to stay away from these places. Maybe since the new has kinda worn off they can get back to these smaller arena shows.
No chance.That list is BS. Phish is going to play the Ryman? that holds like 2500 I think. No chance.Nigel Tufnel said:

It's an historic room, and Phish plays whereever they feel like it - Radio City in 2000, Fox Theater last year. I wouldn't write it off just because the Ryman is on there.
I think a drive to Hampton is probably the best bet. I'm an old man of 36, most of my friends have kids and wouldn't get on a plane to go see them or even head out with me for an evening if the band was in their town. Sad but true. Maybe I need some new friends.Get on a plane TF. Phish is more fun on the road anyway.There's three nights in Vegas on that schedule along with a bunch of other multi-night runs.No DC.
I'm the real TF.So pumped if that list is true. Might hit up NOLA and ACLtommyGunZ said:Get on a plane TF. Phish is more fun on the road anyway.TobiasFunke said:There's three nights in Vegas on that schedule along with a bunch of other multi-night runs.No DC.Nigel Tufnel said:
