Looks like I'll be seeking out a vid of that second set tomorrow on my day off.

[WhatstheUse?]

Phish wins!

[WhatstheUse?]

Was it just me or was that Leonard Cohen song.... A bit....strange?

[zimbra]

Boom!!

[Marmar]

Kinda fun......btw.....love the fact they gave it out free on youtube.....while set 2 was.......ummm......strange......it was pretty neat.

yeah I woke up around 2:40 EST and saw Jambase on my facebook feed, and on their page they had the Youtube link so I got to catch the 2nd set from Golden Age on.

The jamming in the set was pretty tame, Golden Age tried but couldn't come up with much.  Tweezer was real nice, but nothing concrete.... although that segue into Heavy Things is fucking sick, I thought.  Guyute/Sand I was half asleep again, and I swore that Sand was only like 4 minutes long lol.  Guyute seemed to struggle a bit.

But I'm checking out these song clips for the second set....  holy fucking shit they rule.  The Dogs is by far my favorite.  I hope they keep that one around.

It would be perfect out of Scents and Subtle Sounds, or even a Tweezer or Piper.


Actually it would pair VERY well out of Piper.  I can't stop listening to it.

thought the 2nd set was really awesome from couch tour...

totally different than any other phish halloween i can think of. tons of production and obvious choreographing.

but mainly I thought it was just damn cool to hear them jam on some fresh shit. stuff we've never heard before and will never hear again...

good job, phish.

^^ arbitrarily jumped to the 17 minute mark and really dug it will definitely watch later, looks fun

[Thrillhouse]

Absolutely fantastic show.

Best. Band. Ever.

[anthrax]

i am completely blown away.  they reinvented rock halloween shows with the album set in the 90s but eventually became bogged down by that idea.  they are totally into phish songs right now, so they construct this insanity around some tasty phish jams.  it's the perfect evolution for a band who used to have a ton of "story" songs and whose shows sometimes contained little 1 act plays with a leader who has worked on broadway.  loved the song selection in the 1st & 3rd sets too...very halloweeny which was a complaint of mine at some previous halloween shows. 

:rockout: :banana:

[gah]

i love this band.

oh shit, this song 24 minutes in with the cats has me laughing and dancing and smiling and being goofy...these guys.

[Multibeast12]

Seriously. Saw this set at the bar and was like, okay i have no idea what is going on. Listening now. and this band is just always doing something fun and cool with there shows. I love how they changed last year with the Fuego set, and now this. I'm glad they, changed the tradition of a album.  :banana: :banana: :banana:

Scariest Halloween show ever. That second set was a thing of beauty.

I love this band.
