don't get me wrong... I'd like to see them go five straight... but I just feel they'll repeat something. could see a Mike's on 1/1 or a Bowie or Possum again at some point.

5 straight mofo's!!!

very possible... was with Caravan and co for a lot of that weekend... things were def  :-P

has Phish gone 5 straight w/ no repeats in 3.0? without checking I'd say no. would love it, but don't see it happening.

from this show Mike's>Mound and -7>WTU are intriguing. looking forward to first hand reports.

This show brought the yawns.  Repeatedly.  Cool it Down was played well and fun to hear again.  Mound was botched and took away the excitement for me.  Seven Below>WTU is the clear highlight and even that was pretty weak.  Mid second set Michelle looked at me sadly and said "this show sucks!" 

Worst show since Chuck1 and that was WAAAAAY better.

No surprise here really. Total warmup show. No regrets on bustin my ass to get there though. I just had to be there. My first mound. Thought it was a little botched but didn't care. George and I noted the Roggae got pretty psychedelic at one point. I was pretty exhausted from 19hrs of travel but still had a blast with Mcgrupp and Wtu. Birdman kicked it for the second set too. Was stoked that they played seven below but I don't recall it being anything special. There was a guy down front with a "whatstheuse" sign and it was the only sign I saw so pretty sure thats why they played it.

Stoked to be rested up and ready to rage tonight! It's all up from here!

No.  A bad Phish show is still worthy of attendance imo. It was below average for me.  Very safe, poor playing, Julius was awful, Trey was lazy and slacked by just playing imple pentatonic patterns all night it seemed.

Everything looks the same to us from behind the stage watching him.

This show brought the yawns.  Repeatedly.  Cool it Down was played well and fun to hear again.  Mound was botched and took away the excitement for me.  Seven Below>WTU is the clear highlight and even that was pretty weak.  Mid second set Michelle looked at me sadly and said "this show sucks!" 

Worst show since Chuck1 and that was WAAAAAY better.

Did it really suck though?   Or was it just an average show?  Would you have rather stayed home?

Just give up on reading most of what this guy says.  He's the resident hater.  Dude could be in attendance for 12/31/95 and still find something to complain about.....

:-P

They have never gone 5 shows straight without a repeat. Miami 03 was pretty close, but just four shows....

Actually...
09-08-2000 > 09-14-2000 didn't have any.

nice...I was hoping I was wrong...

I think the sound was much better last night than some of the fall shows.  Wasn't that overbearing loud that was happening in the fall.
Lights were ok but not amazing.
I think it is easy to hate n the show but I also think it was an easy show to just enjoy if you were there.  – 7 > What's the Use was the clear highlight.
Julius and Bowie weren't their best versions but they are still fun.
Possum was the absolute last song I wanted to hear last night but it was ok.
Mikes > Mound > Weekpaug is a great way to open a set.
And yes, Page had some very nice moments last night in Funky Bitch.
Last night was the type of show that if you are using all your vacation time to see Phish, it probably would be disappointing.  If you are seeing Phish shows close to home in between work days, it is still fun.

I plan on seeing less of them in 2011 until the catalogue expands but shows are still a treat for me.  Never leave disappointed.

Oh yeah and it was cold outside.

LSD is fun!

Phish played last night.

I had a great time, thoroughly enjoyed the show and had a blast seeing everyone!

Regardless of the meh-ness of the show, I had a great birthday. As heath said, it was a warmup show, but we all raged it and had fun.

i had a lot of fun second set mikes > mound > weekapaug ... seven below > what's the use were the highlights for me.

all in all good show. got in for 20 bucks. looking forward to the rest of the run!!!!!

Despite having not slept for 36 hrs before the show I managed to stay awake the whole time, despite the snoozefest of a  setlist. I enjoyed Roggae, Mound, 7 below :wtu:. Glad Im going to see three more nights of this run. Heres hoping they pick up the pace a bit. Chilled with JP, McGrupp, Wtu for set II and also sat a bit with RR and MB during setbreak...they have nothing too epic going on in their life right now. See y'all again tonight.

I loaded this show up on the ipod for my ride how from taking my sister to work.  i took the long scenic route so I could listen to more of it.  I got to the song What Things Seem and I gotta say that I enjoyed everything I heard so far.  For me, I can't judge a show by the setlist.  I don't give a crap what they play as long as they play it well.  And so far what I have heard was played really well IMO.  They seem to be hooking up very well, especially Page and Fish and I am really excited for the MSG shows :banana:

Roggae is hot, though trey chumps the re-entry at the end, oh well.
it's kind of too bad that Roggae isn't a dreamy chill song anymore. i really used to love that dreamy quality. now it rocks out like everything else.

Oh MAN!!!  PAGE FILLS ON PIANO!!!!!  KICK-ASS OF AWESOME!!!!   For oh-fish00l. 


Oh man Trey isn't goofing the guitar.  Page rage on piano oh man-0.  Chill intensity.  Gordo dance-bass jolly-trotting up high on the upper registers of his bass guitar neck.  Page piano, oh man you are so great. 


YWEAHH!!!!!  FUCKIN PAGE!!!!!!   CHILL TREY LICKS!!!!!!   






they're listening.  to each other.  Onstage.   Is good, that. 






Ladies and gentleguys, we have approached the onset of the Mammoth Rogganus Phishis.  After the next time they play it, the next time time they play it will feature a rocket-launch into upper-register goosebump territory. 



Trey's a lil heavy on the whale 'lickins tho, here now.  This is one giant ball of tension, though OH TREY!!! YEAH THERE WE GO!!! 8:09 Finally!!!! 



Not greatest, at that, but for much of a non-played song, there was very significant in amounts of boldness and for attempts of at-going-there, for the big climb; but marred, it was, by for trying to hard, by Trey particularly.  He wants it to rage, though; you can definitely tell. 


Its gonna be sick, tho, when they get the tension/release formula for that jam down.  Its coming.  Buy a ticket.

I did expect this to be a warmup show going in but still hoped for a little more than they gave, or so I thought upon leaving the show. First listen back right now and I'm enjoying it overall.

Not super exciting, but hey it's  :phish:! So that pretty much works for me most of the time. Especially when listening back conjures awesome memories of the experience.

Not to mention that if I were to come back here and hate on a show I drove 600 miles under the gun to be at, well that would just suck. Never did enjoy hating much.  :-P

In hindsight, these worcester shows were kinda cool because there was just such a TENSE and anticipatory vibe for the shows (esp 12/27) - the blizzard, the buildup to nye, the start of the run, etc. This wasn't the best show of the run, but the vibe was awesome and everyone was really excited (or at least everyone I was chilling with was).

Worcester was a totally different experience than NY, but that really goes without saying...MSG is untouchable.

-7>WTU = $

better type 2 than the 1/1/11 Simple IMO

If only Trey hadn't botched a few notes in a couple of the WTU builds. While botches here and there are fine, in WTU they are harder to digest because you are so focused on what he is playing.

Yup. I just listened to this segment just now (actually, watched the video, same one SF posted) and I really dug it. Instead of starting the -7 jam off with delicate Trey noodling -> rock peak, as he is wont to do rather often, Trey instead started adding color off the bat with chords and the wah-wah. I wish every jam started this way; it seems much easier for them/Trey to go from delicate textures to places uncharted as opposed to the usual song -> solo -> jam? formula.

Trey's ideas in the latter portion of -7 were really excellent. Like Mattstick said, it basically turned into a variation on WTU, which was really cool, and undoubtedly what gave Trey the idea to play the song proper. As is the case in 3.0, however, it seems like Trey either got excited/ADD or figured there was no way to slowly, cleverly segue into WTU, so he kind of shut the jam down into some ambient dissolution so he could start up WTU. I would have preferred drawing out the jam and organically winding into WTU, or simply not playing it at all and instead sticking with the WTU jam/variation that -7 had gotten into.

Anyway. Cool segment nonetheless.
