*Phish Discussion Thread*

[Dancing Ants]

Everything Phish goes here. I noticed the recent upsurge of Phish topics, so, as was asked in a locked Phish topic, here's the Phish Discussion thread. Talk away!

[Carbon Copy]

theres not any other phish threads for real? but if we have to discuss them i guess i will. sad to see them quitting but with all the speculations of dave/trey/tim i say go for it:)

[MRGreySt.YNK]

Phish sucks, who needs them.

[Rob D]

i'm gay for fish.

[MistreatedLewis]

Good band. Never saw them live, but I like some of their records, including a few of the live discs. Trey isn't the songwriter that Dave is, but incredibly talented musicians.

[MRGreySt.YNK]

Maybe its because Trey doesn't write the words, he writes the notes, something he is much better then Dave at.

[bwitt0319]

Phish Just announced yesterday that they are making an extra stop in my home town at the Hampton Coliseum on Aug. 9th. i hope i get a ticket that would be sick.

[MistreatedLewis]

Maybe its because Trey doesn't write the words, he writes the notes, something he is much better then Dave at.

Even taking that into consideration, I generally like the notes Dave writes better, to be honest. Just a personal preference.

[MRGreySt.YNK]

Wow.

[Number27]

Wow.
Yeah, people have different tastes in music. :thumbsup

[Mave Datthews]

pretty recently i started taking more of an interest in Phish, and JUST MY LUCK - they're done after this tour. :rolleyes:

kinda like what happened when i really got into Rage - i had like a few of their singles, but never really got into all their stuff until right about the time they split up. :BANG

any suggestions of Phish studio albums and/or live shows i should start with?

I fail to see your point.

[MistreatedLewis]

Yeah, people have different tastes in music. :thumbsup

Yeah pretty much. I don't know how to defend myself other than just simply saying that I like the music Dave composes better than Trey. Maybe it's a human failing of mine, but I'm not going to pretend that it isn't true, you know?

True, true. Everyone has their likes and dislikes.

[Mave Datthews]

Yeah, people have different tastes in music. :thumbsupHOLY CRAP!! REALLY?! :ugh: that's terrible!!


hehe ;)

[MistreatedLewis]

True, true. Everyone has their likes and dislikes.

Yeah, I mean, even my taste in Dave songs seems to deviate from the norm. My favorites are #41 and Two Step and Warehouse, which is pretty common, but I could hear Billies, WWYS, Ants, and Too Much at every show and be totally happy. Can't explain it more than that the songs just appeal to me.
But that's why everyone is different.

[ZanerDMB91]

The 8-26-89 version of You Enjoy Myself is really something, I love it.

And the studio version of Llama when he goes "taboot" in a real deep voice, that makes me laugh everytime

[Dancing Ants]

my fave old YEM is 5-28-89. "Boy. Man. God. Shit. Poop. Poop. Poop."

[BKeener]

I will miss this band...anyone ever see the Trey Anastasio Band? If so, what did you think? I saw Vida Blue and was not very impressed...

[seekup422]

Whoops, I topped the simulcast thread before seeing this, oh well.

edit: Okay, I have a problem making decisions for myself, so answer this. If you had a friend that went with you to almost every concert you see, and that friend couldn't make it to the 14th simulcast because of her little brother's bday party (which you were invited to and would be skipping/partially attending due to simulcast), would you pass it up and go to her party, being a good friend, or would you be a bad friend and go to the movie? I already know what I'm going to do, just want to see if I'm the only person who'd skip the movie. I'm a bad friend for even thinking about going, but I can't help it :(

[YouCanFeelGood]

make up a different excuse and go to the movie

[YouCanFeelGood]

I will miss this band...anyone ever see the Trey Anastasio Band? If so, what did you think? I saw Vida Blue and was not very impressed...

Vida Blue is great when they are on

TAB is really fun to see live... I saw them at Roo 2002 and had a blast. Good music too.

[votequimby]

I just got my ticket yesterday, can't wait to go to Camden !

[garback]

aww man let's remember... what was everyone's 1st show.
mine was 1/4/03 at the very cold hampton coliseum. if i get my ticket tomorrow then my last show will also be at hampton. how sweet would that be. come on people lets hear it.

[votequimby]

My first Phish show was 11/19/98 at the LJVM Coliseum in Winston-Salem.

Gotta love the GA shows and getting there early ;)

[Chaykak]

Same story... just getting into them more, and they break up >_< Never even had a chance to go to a show... could've gone to Mansfield, but fuck it with those prices and the fact that's in a week and a half...

[mwjorgens]

I will miss this band...anyone ever see the Trey Anastasio Band? If so, what did you think? I saw Vida Blue and was not very impressed...TAB was great. he assemebled quite a nice group and the sound was very nice. cyro on percussion was very nice. very nice. nice, very nice:)

[saygoodbye12]

Not a phish fan but I just got an im from a friend who said the rumor is they are adding MSG on 8/8 and Hartford on 8/7...the MSG he said is basically confirmed..might go on sale Saturday.

Just a heads up :)

[adamb2003]

https://secure.gcwebdesign.net/strangedesign/chords/guitar/Phish/Lawn%20Boy/Reba.html
:lol sorry man, but music being simply "complicated" doesn't necessarily make it better on songwriting terms. i love phish though.

[adamb2003]

oh, and has anyone seen the new guitar world issue featuring trey? pretty good stuff, and a double sided centerfold poster with a tour poster on one side and his guitar on the other.

[TwoStepFF]

ohh ok, thanks man

[MRGreySt.YNK]

I have one Mansfield Pav for trade, for either a night 2 at Mansfield Pav or 2 Camdens lawns.

[AJDMB05]

Damn man, you're still looking for a night 2 Mansfield and Camden? :(

On another note, my first and last show will be 8/11. My friend who always goes to concerts with me is going away for Coventry weekend, so I have no one to go to the simulcast with, either night.

[eric_dmb]

I am in search of a pair of tickets to the 8-12 show at Camden. I have seen Phish a few times in the past, including once this summer, but my sisiter (firedancer430 on this board) has never had the privilage of seeing Phish. I am trying very hard to find a pair of tickets, even lawn, so that I can get her to her first and last phish show ever.

If anyone can help me out with a pair or even a single ticket for that fact, either post here or email me at
eric_dmb@hotmail.com

thanks
ERIC

[gracielou]

Wish I could help you out but can't give up my tics:) Anyway if you don't find any before the show you should just go anyway, there is always tickets in the lot of a sold out Phish show:)

I've seen them a few times. Two of the shows were great, one was not spectacular. They are definitly worth checking out though. Has anyone heard of the rumors that phish may be playing more shows this December? I just heard this tonight.





Chris

[BKeener]

If they do, it will 1/2 make me happy and 1/2 piss me off...since I'm going through so much trouble and giving up so much to see them this month

11/17/97 ghost is a religious experience...as well as tweezer from 2.28.03

[Dancing Ants]

contrary to what alot of ppl say, the 11/17/97 Reba is my fave. If you listen, it's sooo tight. Compare it to the 6/19/04, which is good..but damn, 11/17 is the best.

[votequimby]

Has anyone heard of the rumors that phish may be playing more shows this December? I just heard this tonight.

If they do it would really piss me off, after all the money I've spent and arrangements I've made just to see them one last time I'd feel betrayed.

Now if they came back in 5-10 years, that would be a different story.

[YouCanFeelGood]

Is that from LivePhish 11? If so, I don't like that Reba as much as most other ones I've heard. It's smooth flowing and chill, but I tend to like 98 rebas better.

and, yes, 2.28.03 tweezer is incredible. that whole show is amazing. the magic came back to them that night

[BKeener]

Anyone think there is a good chance of Phish releasing Coventry on DVD?

[YouCanFeelGood]

Anyone think there is a good chance of Phish releasing Coventry on DVD?

I hope so. We only have one official live phish show on dvd.

And what happened to them releasing "IT" because I read a while ago it was gonna be released

[YouCanFeelGood]

that's a mix of me and Tate's rotation for 6/18/04 and, I *think* Camden Night 1. The Bathtub > C&P > Bathtub is from our Camden rotation. The rest is 6/18/04 rotation from like early June.

since they're doing a simulcast, i have few doubts that they will release it on dvd

i guess it's just a matter of whether the release it in full or not

just found out today that i'm going. woo hoo!! anyway, back to the regularly scheduled disscussion...

~peace~love~music~

[rebubula07]

this may have been mentioned before but on pbs they are broadcasting a phish concert at 9 central time on monday night. i dont know the date of the show or anything but i thought u should know if u didnt already
:thumbsup

[Chaykak]

Thanks for reminding me about that! :D

[Dancing Ants]

they are broadcasting IT.

[Dancing Ants]

well, parts of IT, anyway.

[wagx3]

ok i decided to post in this thread cuz it's not that important.

my friend who also loves phish told me that he heard it is rumored that phish is trying to get a show in at MSG b4 the end of the tour. i told him it was bullshit. has anyone heard this rumor?

[moe.ron]

Ive heard that rumor multiple places..

[wagx3]

Ive heard that rumor multiple places..
yay then it's a valid rumor!!! :D

but it's still a rumor :BANG :BANG :freak

It is blowing my mind.

omg me too! i just finished wathing the special with my mom. great stuff! she likes phish now!

[clayj41]

omg me too! i just finished wathing the special with my mom. great stuff! she likes phish now!

My mom was the exact opposite. She was like "You're going all the way to Vermont to see these guys, most of their songs don't even have lyrics." She just doesn't understand.

[Dancing Ants]

yay then it's a valid rumor!!! :D

but it's still a rumor :BANG :BANG :freak

nah. today is August 2nd, and the rumor was that it was for August 7th and 8th, and if they tried to sell tickets in 5 days...well, it just wouldn't work. I wish, but no. NYE maybe? Ha Ha Ha.

[JiMiThAnG12369]

I think IT is being released on dvd sometime in october.

[Dancing Ants]

October 12, 2004. Not the full concert, albeit, but footage mixed in w/ interviews.

[JiMiThAnG12369]

Did anyone catch that IT thing on tv and was it any good?

[seekup422]

My mom was the exact opposite. She was like "You're going all the way to Vermont to see these guys, most of their songs don't even have lyrics." She just doesn't understand.
:thumbsup That's how my mom is. When I go to more than one concert of the same band she always says "It's the exact same thing!!" I gave up trying to explain.

[Play_Like_Fonz]

Ya, seems outta the question at this point. :(

[YouCanFeelGood]

the IT special last night was amazing. really candid interviews and tons of music. i especially loved the interviews during YEM and how they edited that. Also glad they showed the end of Tela, one of my favorite musical pieces.

I'm getting so excited for next week.

[Chaykak]

Godamn special was on at 1:00 AM in CT... completely missed it. I hope it pops up as a torrent.

Oh, and as an aside- the August 15th simulcast in CT is scheduled for 7 hours straight :D Think it's just their alloted time for however long it goes? Though... I could imagine a 7 hour last concert pretty easily

they played about 8 hours straight at big cypress in 99' so I wouldn't doubt it.

the seventh hour will be the best though, that's when we'll get a full gamehendge :bounce

[Dancing Ants]

hahaha. no gamehenge, sorry. now, at festivals, they do THREE sets. One starts at five, another around 8:30, and another later than that, i'd guess. But it won't be seven straight hours.

[@WarWithTheMoon]

Anyone read the article in Guitar World with Trey? It's an excellent article, covers a lot of ground and reasoning behind his thinking. I'm not a Phish fan, never really started listening to them, but it was a good read.

[Dancing Ants]

yeah, i've read re-posts of it. the issue doesn't come out till september, i don't think. i have mixed feelings. trey really bashes on some stuff that is just pointless (Mike on First Tube, How Phish wasn't supposed to be a jamband anyway..etc etc).

[Chaykak]

Anyone have a link to a re-post?

Yea actually it's the October issue and I get them ridiciously early for some reason haha.. It seems like he's just speaking the truth on waht he thinks.

[clayj41]

:thumbsup That's how my mom is. When I go to more than one concert of the same band she always says "It's the exact same thing!!" I gave up trying to explain.

Exactly!!! She definitely likes DMB more than Phish though.

[YouCanFeelGood]

hahaha. no gamehenge, sorry. now, at festivals, they do THREE sets. One starts at five, another around 8:30, and another later than that, i'd guess. But it won't be seven straight hours.

never say never with phish man. i know it's doubtful, but i wouldn't be surprised to see that last sunday night set go over a couple hours.

and gamehendge is kinda a long shot, it's too planned an event for phish, but i think we'll at least get fluffhead sometime next weekend.

[YouCanFeelGood]

just got back in.... the first set was pure heaven, just smokin. second set had it's ups and downs. but a david bowie encore? i was floored when they started it, i was sure it was just gonna be a tease or they would abort and go into something else, but sure enough we got a rocking and psychadelic as always bowie.

highlight of the night for me, however, had to be contact. one of my favs and a song i was starting to think i'd never hear live.

ill give a longer review later maybe but now im going to bed so i can wake up and get ready for coventry.

[Dancing Ants]

[phunky420]

No he doesn't. It usually involves poop, pee, kaka, poopoo, and other fecal references.

LOL

[dmb1spe]

Don't be pissed at me because Phish sucks.

[Dancing Ants]

Don't be pissed at me because Phish sucks.


not only that, but you didn't mention poop or feces of any kind in your previous post.


i disagree about your statement, though.

[dmbfan524]

just got home from the show........WOW!!! to start a show off with wilson, YEM, ghost and maze is just mind blowing. the 2 songs i wanted to hear most tonight were wilson and maze...cant believe i got both. INCREDIBLE!! they are just too damn good together to stop touring :(

[Dancing Ants]

:thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup

is the show starting at 530? or is that when doors open or something?


doors open at probably 500 or so. show at 530ish...

i would get there about 4:15-:30 to get a good seat.

[Chaykak]

Doors open at mine at 5:00... so, I'll be there 4:15 or whatever... it's not that big of a theater, not like there's a really bad seat anyway.

[flyer3468]

Camden was awesome last night. Set 1 is easily the best set I've ever seen live of any concert from any band

[AJDMB05]

Here's a prayer to Icculus for the 50,000 w00ks still in traffic, apparently 20,000 are in or so, the rain keeps coming down, the mud's getting worse, and the buildup is only going to get worse before tomorrow night.

[BlueJWay]

My father just called me from Coventry. He's up there selling water to benefit the non-profit he works for. He said it's a complete disaster! He left last night cause vendors had to get there a little bit earlier, and by now the rain has gotten to the point where it can't be absorbed into the earth anymore. Apparently they've got tractors that are towing RV's into the middle of some surrounding fields and the RV's are just sinking. He's been walking around and talking to people mainly... said he walked by the VIP "phish and friends" camping area, where there are some fancy RV's set up for the band and such. Said there were around 25,000 in so far, but that's nothing compared to the hours and hours of backed up traffic throughout the state. It sounds like he's having quite the adventure! If you're going, buy water from C.I.D.E.R. and support my dad and the elderly people of Vermont! :) I'll post more if calls with more stories.

[rockyracoon]

anyone going to any of the simulcasts at a high-def theatre? i'm thinkin i might try to make a run tomorrow afternoon when i get off work. oh how i will miss seeing this band.

[Dancing Ants]

Dallas Simulcast. yay!

[Chaykak]

One more day~ Have to see what happens tonight :D

[AJDMB05]

The prayers to Icculus did not work, as Coventry is closed to everyone not through the gates yet (2/3rds of all tickets). They're still playing as of now, but everyone is being turned away and turned around.

August 14, 2004 - Coventry, VT - As a direct result of the severe weather
conditions and serious flooding encountered over the past few days, the
Vermont State Police and concert organizers, in the interest of public
safety, have been forced to limit entry in to the COVENTRY festival this
weekend. After exploring all possible options, Police and organizers have
concluded that there is no conceivable way to park the remaining vehicles on
or in the near vicinity of the concert site, due to the conditions of the
grounds as a direct result of the persistent and torrential rains over the
past several days.

Effective immediately, all vehicles bound for the concert site not already
off Interstate 91 will be turned around and denied entrance to the festival.
In addition, roadblocks at additional points of entry have been set up and
State Police will be ensuring that people can turn around in a safe and
efficient manner.

All ticket holders denied entry to the site will be granted a full refund.
Ticket refunds will be refunded directly to credit card holders who have
purchased tickets from Ticketmaster and from Phish's online ticketing
system. Further details on refunds will be announced in the coming days.

While Phish deeply regrets having to take this action, it is necessary to
protect fans as well as residents of the greater Coventry area.

[wordisb8nd]

This is turning in to such a mess. There is a problem with the full ticket refund policy. What if someone bought tix from phish and then sold them on ebay for 400 bucks. That person would then receive the full refund and the ebay person will be screwed. Not to mention the question of what they are going to do with the people that were turned away. Can you imagine how pissed you would be going up there and being turned away to find out a select few (24+ thousand of them) have been allowed to watch the show while you drive home. I think it will be interesting to see what happens in the next few hours/ days.

[Chaykak]

Supposedly they're going to find a way to 'make it up to the fans' that didn't get in... outside of another concert, I don't see how you could do that :/ And I sure as hell hope the Simulcasts work alright... better chance of that tomorrow anyway. Damn.

[mantra4]

here's a post from phantasytour. this guy just talked to a buddy of his that is there...

He said what people are doing that got turned away is heading back South, then back up North on a different route, then setting up camp in people's yards, farms, side of the road, and hiking 3-5 miles to the festival.

He said that nobody is going home, everyone is hiking in.

*edit* that shit sucks... i'm kinda glad that i didn't go

[mantra4]

[Nick11dx]

i got the news of all this, this morning my friend called and he got in but heard about it over the radio station they set up. he said for what he thought it was gonna be like, the place is dead. he said of course there a ton of people there but with the weather and all people arent doing much.

I was gonna go but got sick but if they end up having another concert i wont be sorry which i think they will. anyone else have some thoughts on this?

[phunky420]

While listening to black-eyed katy, my tribute to that band, i found out this informaiton.

Thats really sad....what a sad way to end their careers.....
I have some friends who went...i hope they are ok.

Hmm..just called my friend but didn't get an anwser....

Damnit, I was really hoping to see Bowie at the simulcast tomorrow. Oh well, it will still kick ass

[Dancing Ants]

i feel really bad for the people turned away. BUT it wasn't the BAND'S fault, no matter what anyone tells you. That's the worst weather in like 50 years or something in the region. Anyway, Simulcast was a blast, even if the setbreaks got a bit on the lonnnnngggg side.

[phunky420]

How was the show? Can you tell its one of their last?
I wish i could of seen the simulcast..but i had to work. I had a choice...get this weekend off or get the days off for DMB this summer....Sorry phish but i want to see a live show...not a movie ;)

[bigphatchuck]

I just got home from the simulcast and it was amazing. The energy was very apparent the first two sets and then the third was a little more mellow but still amazing. The Harry Hood was great even with the interruption. The David Bowie, Free, and Antelope all were highlights. A friend of mine said his brother was turned away this morning and then ditched his car somewhere on the highway and walked fifteen miles into the venue. After tonight and looking at tomorrow it seems definitely worth it.

[cowboyroie]

Oh man...I just heard You Enjoy Myself on the Weather Channel :ugh:

[phunky420]

Damm...The 1996 Halloween show is freaken awsome. I'm listening to it right now...just freaken great. Probably the best halloween show in my opinion. Yes the White Album one was good...but I'm a huge Talking Heads fan.

[Chaykak]

Good to hear the simulcast went well... leaving at 2:30 today :D Still far from where I am :/

[BKeener]

Oh man...I just heard You Enjoy Myself on the Weather Channel :ugh:


I heard the orchestra version of Guyute on there a few weeks ago :lol

[DANCNANCY]

How's the vibe at the theater? I'm picturing people get pretty into it. Can you even see or here the movie?:babe

[BlueJWay]

Yeah they're not turning away people, only cars... so everyones just bailing on their car and walking however miles away they are. Brilliant!

[Dancing Ants]

theater vibe is pretty much the vibe coming outta the guys in the band. if they get into it, the theater gets into it. we rocked pretty hard during the first set, and by set III, we were all tired as hell. btw, there weren't that many people in the theater, so yeah, you can hear and see EVERYTHING. The picture and sound are top notch.

I thought about going to see the simulcast tonight but it's sold out in MA. I hope the place is packed because I would have really liked to go.

[clayj41]

Well, I got back to Indiana at 6 o'clock this morning. We drove over 20 hours to get to Coventry just to be told that we had to go home. You can't blame the band though. It was just a freak thing. We were near the front of the line when we were told that they were going to have to turn people away, which really sucked. We were going to park on I-91 and walk to the gates, but we were told that our car would be towed. We also saw the police break into another car in order to tow it, so we decided it wasn't worth it. Mike said on the radio that the band would refund money for tickets, and that they were trying to come up with something else for the fans that didn't get in. I'm not expecting another show, but who knows what they'll do. Phish has always been good to their fans, and I'm sure they feel just as bad as the fans do about the whole situation. Yeah well, I got to go to Canada which was a fun experience, and even though we didn't get in I'm not too upset. We still love you Phish.

Excellent post. There's been way too much negativity surrounding this. It's great to hear someone understands that Trey doesn't control the weather.

[dmbfan524]

well phans...tonight is it. last night was somewhat dissapointing but im predicting a full gamehenge tonight. although some of the songs were played last night.

[dmbfan524]

anyone of any good sites that have phish icons? i only found one..and i didnt like the 2 they had there.

[scoot_14]

well phans...tonight is it. last night was somewhat dissapointing but im predicting a full gamehenge tonight. although some of the songs were played last night.

No way on the full gamehenge.

I'll predict an appearence of the song Icculus. We'll get a forbin's accent->mockingbird most likely. Could be a long Mikes song->Weekapaug with a bunch of segues in between.

not brilliant. those idiots are clogging the road for the people who live there.

[phunky420]

Just got done speaking with my friend dan. He had tickets to both nights and got turned away. He was pretty sad but he's making the best of it. He's going to New York and Boston and just see the sights. I hope the band plays another show....

[eric_dmbfan03]

I'm not sure, but just hearing Trey struggling through the second set because he was trying to hold back tears was really touching.

[loogs91]

so i guess DWD isnt the last song...

[mantra4]

the last song will probably be d-sky

[greppson]

looks like those that turned around and went home weren't too many.

i bet they are pissed that they left now, when everyone else stayed:

"The music resumed at Phish's last concert Sunday night. Police estimate that between 65,000 to 68,000 people are attending the festival, an indication that not many heeded the request Saturday to turn back."

[dmbfan524]

The Curtain With

^that choice makes so much sense I didn't even think of it.

why is that?

NO waste during coventry at all...or the whole tour...wow

[seekup422]

Wow, I can't believe I missed all this. I went to the simulcast but I had to leave right before Wilson :( :( :(
very emotional night, when Trey started talking and couldn't even get the words out because he was crying I almost lost it.

[snyddogg430]

Anybody think they're coming out for one more?

[Nick11dx]

i hope so

[eric_dmbfan03]

I hope so, Waste, Bathtub, Coil, something.

[snyddogg430]

NO waste during coventry at all...or the whole tour...wow

Waste was the encore song at Deer Creek on June 23.

[snyddogg430]

Wow it's over. That's just crazy. Long live Phish.

[2stepsoright]

I guess the radio station was calling for Waste.

[Nick11dx]

thats it...not gonna lie im kinda disappointed with the last show but what can ya say ...its not just one show that defines phish


LONG LIVE PHISH

[2stepsoright]

I guess the radio station was calling for Waste.

[soldat51]

i cant believe its over...im so sad im freakin crying, as pathetic as that may seem im not ashamed of it, it was a great show but this fucking sucks
but i guess when its time to end its time to end...i mean im 2x the dmb fan i dont know how i will handle their last show if i cried for the phish show
and for the record i really dont think they will get back together, if that justifys me being the pathetic shell of a man i am right now i dont know but those are just my thoughts

[nonewdirections]

goodbye phish. a lot of us loved you a lot, so thanks for all the music and good times. i'm assuming since they closed with the curtain with that this is really and truly it. to all the phans who got screwed this weekend, i am really sorry, and i hope it'll all be put into perspective for you as time goes on.

LONG LIVE PHISH

Sure, listening to the internet stream, it may sound dissapointing, but let me tell you, I was at the simulcast, and it was just... words cannot describe. So fucking emotional. I'm a late newcomer to Phish, but by the middle of the third set I was crying. And I don't cry often. The emotion they were playing with was just unreal.

During DWD, Trey picked up a couple of glowsticks and played the guitar with them. Page just broke down crying after the first line of Wading, and Trey had to start it back up for him. And during the end jam to Ghost, he held the guitar in front of him and did some weird feedback stuff while waving it around. I'm sure it sounded like shit on the webcast, but watching it it was just amazing.

And they could not have picked a more appropriate song to end with. "Please me have no regrets". Sure, Trey flubbed the With jam, but I didn't give a damn. If you weren't there or at the simulcast, you just can't judge this show. You had to have seen the way they were playing. I'm still having goosebumps. Seeing Trey walk off the stage after the show, he was crying, they were all hugging. It was a perfect ending.

I am still crying.

[Dancing Ants]

If anyone says that was a bad show, they're full of shit. That second set was KILLER. Damnnnnnn. Our WHOLE theater broke out into a HUGE glowstick war during DWD. Then Wading, which, though I usually don't like it, gave me horrible goosebumps.

Viva la Phish!
