Someone was passing out stickers that said something like: Jon Fishman's Almost TAB



I've been coming to where I am from the get go
Find that I can groove with the beat when I let go
So put your worries on hold
Get up and groove with the rhythm in your soul

I feel like cactusfan kind of nails it.  yeah, it is so cheesy, but the musicality and amazing supporting cast including the one and only Fish - plus Trey just ripping it up on some parts - made for a very unique and special show.  it's definitely a one-and-done band, IMO... but we'll see some of those songs soon, no doubt.

I have always enjoyed Ray's playing - he is kinda the Melvin Seals to Trey's Jerry, if that makes sense - and I think this context has had some of his best playing with Trey.

I agree with cactus and Pie, there are times when Trey writes the music to fit the lyrics which I really don't care for - the instrumentals are the best parts of GOTF for me - and there are times when it seems the lyrics are placed over the music as an afterthought. I like those latter instances, and I hope those always continue.
Dysfunction and itemized lists of people's failures are where it's at.

Many excellent musical passages in there, along with some pretty insufferable Trey lyrics. I appreciate the sentiment, but sometimes it sounds like he's writing these things by assembling life affirmations he found on greeting cards. Though the fact that he's so sincere and adorable helps to make up for that.

Nailed it.
Bring in the dude!

LOL, so true.
Everything is connected, because it's all being created by this one consciousness. And we are tiny reflections of the mind that is creating the universe.

I do hope some enterprising soul posts a recording without the vocals. Those lyrics are terrible.

No note as to whether or not they upgraded the show on LivePhish. I just rocked that show the other day (again) after the movie. It's terrific.

The events in our lives happen in a sequence in time, but in their significance to ourselves they find their own order; the continuous thread of revelation.
