I think most of us were just poking fun with a little bit of sarcasm.

That and I do wish I Phish came closer to me more often, cause flying out of here is some expensive ass shit.  Portland and Seattle are 500 + miles from here, Denver is almost 900 miles from here, so driving is a good investment in time and money as well. 

But I know where I live, and not seeing a lot of music is one of the compromises I make to stay here.

You know it bud, wish I had made the trek down to Hampton.  I know of one group that headed down from here.
Someday, I hope to be in that building for a show.

[sMILEy]

This is one of those shows where i could of gone, and should of gone, but for some reason, didnt.
And now, just like i could of predicted, im sad, pissed and annoyed with myself for not going.
There will be others...  :cry:

Way to fail man, way to fail.    :shakehead:

yea i kno, i guess i jsut didn't think id be able to score tickets and been so busy so haven't really tried to, but yesterday, SF said he got offered tickets from 3 different people... thats when i realized i messed up.  :shakehead:

Judging by the reviews I might listen. But also in those reviews I've heard more talk of velvet sea being the highlight......so I might not listen

Velvet Sea was not THE highlight, it was merely its own highlight in that Trey made the song musically relevant in an era where most are offensively redundant.  After that Twist, it was pretty much the perfect placement.  I'm still amazed at how much Trey made the song matter by doing such a small little almost insignificant thing, by actually playing a legitimate melodic idea, and not just noodle out his solo. 

Fish made this version have the right amount of energy.  I'm listening to it now, attentively for the first time.  Its holding up.  Its got the right amount of Mike bounce, Fish drive, and Trey embelishment.  The start to the solo section is really fucking nice.  Trey and Page have this delicate balance thing going on against each other.  Man, I can't believe I'm reviewing a fucking Velvet Sea.  What the hell, Phish.  Way to play your music the right way....

Trey's first idea comes in at 4:21, and then listen to Mike and Fish finish his rhythmic "idea" at 4:37.  That was fucking cool.  I love the chords he's "soloing" with at the 5:00 mark.  Fishman accompanying perfectly with his fills...   tension building at 5:33, and the thing that impressed me at the show begins at the 5:37 mark; that ascending melody makes such a difference in giving this version some relevance and staying power.  Love this Velvet Sea.


Just finished a sit-through of the Twist before.  Man, that is some great Phish music.  I love it when Trey doesn't have to solo and they just make like, jam-songs I guess.
