PHISH (The Phans)

Wow.
Did they purposely pick the biggest n00bs to interview?

Liked the show, but although I was in the phish.com pics front row, I thought the first set killed the second.  Not to hate cuz I wouldn't be here if the boys weren't the rulers of listening but the second set seemed rushed at first like they played the fyf for a fun choice and that (being the first one I've seen) was at that.  It seemed trey was kinda off his game during this and threw in the teases when the rest of the guys didn't know it was coming at all and seemed to be caught off guard making it more of a "throw it out there for fun" rather than build it like jenga as they usually do.  I say this having seen it and thought Trey was having a blast as was I but think the fyf teases were sloppy and didn't think it brought any great energy to the table.  I feel it threw the flow off from the first set which was smoking and definitely in concentration by all 4 members.  Even the solo if you listen to it in fyf trey was missing the timing meter.  The first time they played fyf in the summer was the best cuz it seemed every note was right there and they seemed to have rehearsed it.  If you also think about it the mike's was fairly sloppy all in good fun though, (i think) because of the fyf teases.  I feel they couldn't grab the tightness and just mudded their way through the mike's till light happened which they love and is great but followed by 20 years later definitely didn't have the energy through the roof.  Love fast enough for you and after all this I feel set the pace for the rest of the show which started to come together again at that point but every jam including Weekapaug was very quiet and low energy but definitely not sloppy at all after light.  They played at this level greatly and it was cool to see them recognize this and keep the energy as it was the rest of the show as if you remember the ripping reba encore's jam was so soft and gentle and never peaked.  It went into that heavy riff part in the middle of the jam and fish started a little manteca over heavy ambience.  They then kicked back into the reba melody without ever taking it over the top when they ended it I think for this reason it was an epic show for them to ride the casually low energy vibe and keep it real while not having to try and force the volume or speed up.  It was a very different kind of second set that made it good for me and the fact that they didn't do anything but go with what was there.  Ya you could say Trey could have played fyf better and it may have changed the show but the outcome obviously would've never happened.  I was psyched to be there and in the front for most until I gave the spot to a hottie who asked me for it.

There's a button on your keyboard I'd like to introduce you to... it's over on the right and it says "enter."

Using the "enter" button will separate your massive conglomerate of words into paragraphs that are much easier for your reader to digest.
