6/3 is by far the better show. That Disease is a face-melter.They should be firing on all cylinders by the time I see them Friday.DWD was 6/3. Tweezer/No Quarter was 6/1.

You can get both shows (and any 2011 shows) for free via the "No Spoilers" podcast I linked earlier.No need to spend a penny.

First time out of the gate, I'm not surprised. I think it has the potential to go somewhere though.we thought Steam was by far the weakest song of the night.
That DWD is just amazing. No other band in the world could pull that off.Anyone know what the story is behind the official videos that are being put out by Phish at vimeo for each show?
Example, here's last night's Possum
6/3 Down with Disease
Is Phish planning on doing this for the whole tour?
Yeah, I just watched that, twas excellent.That DWD is just amazing. No other band in the world could pull that off.
Pretty much outstanding.Yeah, I just watched that, twas excellent.That DWD is just amazing. No other band in the world could pull that off.

you missed a great one this year GB...2nd set was ridiculously goodAlot of links on this page to rummage thru later. Sucks I had to miss out on my local show. I drove past all the Blossom exits during the show on my way back from the beach...
It was outstanding.The Sneaking Sally from Blossom might be even better than the 6/3 DWD. Last night's show was incredible as well.
Beyond pumped for Camden tomorrow.
Blossom Recap
Phish.net
Anticipation could not have been higher heading into Phish's 6/4/11 show at the Blossom Music Center. The night before in Clarkston they had raised the bar for the tour (and, arguably, 3.0) with one of their strongest start-to-finish sets in recent memory. Was that going to be the new "normal" or just a fortunate aberration?
After the first set, the jury was still out. The set included a little bit of everything: well played versions of composed numbers like "Guyute" and Foam," energetic versions of rockers "Kill Devil Falls" and "Antelope," a return to the Little Feat catalog with "Rocket In My Pocket," and even the aural monstrosity that is "#### Your Face." Still, while everything was played well, they never really left the confines of any single song.
That all changed in Set II. The set opened with the first "Birds" of 2011. "Birds" has become something of a rarity these days, so expectations were high for a second set opening version. Alas, it was a pretty ordinary performance. When the band dropped into "Possum," many fans probably groaned (to themselves, anyway). Perhaps no song has been as overplayed in recent years without really going anywhere interesting as "Possum." of course, in true Phish fashion, the band responded with probably the most interesting and creative version of "Possum" since the mid-'90s.
The ashes of "Possum" melted into the first original debut of 2011 with "Steam." The new Anastasio/Marshall composition with lyrics that recall the Game of Thrones book/TV series (or so I'm told) and a steamy cymbal effect from Fish, "Steam" may have more jamming potential than any new song since "Light." A brief "Piper" followed which segued into the now-rare "Lizards."
What followed will be known in Phish lore as When Harry Met Sally and is a simply outstanding 30 minutes of music. The "Sally" jam is sublime. All four band members are locked in and the result is a truly unique, must-hear jam. "Sally" melted into a "Harry" -> "Have Mercy" -> "Hood" that is simply majestic. Trey wove the "Have Mercy" theme throughout the "Hood" jam finishing off a set that is among the best of 3.0. I prefer the previous night's second set somewhat, but which one you like better probably depends more on the style of set you prefer. The fact that the "Slave" encore is reduced to near-footnote status speaks to its greatness. If I'm giving a rating to this show it's probably a 7.0, a notch above Bethel2 earned almost entirely on the basis of the second set. But seriously, ignore the number. The important part is that the second sets from Pine Knob and Blossom are the two best sets in 2011 IMO and would hold up in any era of Phish.
Oh lordy. Gonna have to track down that Sally>Harry this weekend. Watched the DWD from 6/3 and it was sweetness.It was outstanding.The Sneaking Sally from Blossom might be even better than the 6/3 DWD. Last night's show was incredible as well.

Took me a LONG time to for Sanity to come my way (Lemonwheel) - congrats!got my first Sanity last night after 50 shows. the Sand from set one last night is a must-listen but i thought the prior night at Merriweather was better than last night.there really is no debating that this is the best touring band in the world right now. after Return to Forever with Zappa plays Zappa kicks off their US tour in August, i might rethink that claim. but, man, is Phish tight.
Lovin it. Nice to have the Runaway Jim>Free from Oswego 99 on soundboard.Live Bait 5 looks pretty sweet...History of Phish Festivals...34 tracks.
There is simply no argument you could make that Phish is not the greatest rock and roll band around these days. You can even debate, all things considered, that they are the best band of all time. Considering fan interaction, ticket prices, talent, etc.Bunny Radio (Phish fest radio and my favorite radio station of all time) + all sets live streaming here all weekend - also on SiriusXM JamOn
Listening now. Quality is obviously tops. Of the previous 4, thoughts on them?Anybody going to have an extra to two for Tahoe? Let's make a deal.Live Bait 5 looks pretty sweet...History of Phish Festivals...34 tracks.
Vol. 4 is solid. Like Vol. 2 also. Haven't listened to Vols. 1 and 3 much.Listening now. Quality is obviously tops. Of the previous 4, thoughts on them?Anybody going to have an extra to two for Tahoe? Let's make a deal.Live Bait 5 looks pretty sweet...History of Phish Festivals...34 tracks.
It's obviously a lot easier to be a fan friendly band in today's age of technology than in years past. That being said, Phish is clearly at the forefront of the total fan experience. I think Pearl Jam is pretty good to its fans, but they don't touch where Phish is IMO.There is simply no argument you could make that Phish is not the greatest rock and roll band around these days.

I have to say, I did not see this level of playing coming, maybe ever, after they reunited. So pissed I'm not at Gorge, and can't go to Tahoe due to lack of PTO. Hopefully they'll bring it at Outside Lands...Oh boy. fasten your seatbelts:
Rock N Roll->hyperspace->Meatstick...
Also, when did Roggae get this heady?:

so jealous of everyone seeing shows in the next few weeks.
