09/14 - Champlain Valley Exposition - Essex Junction, VT - Post-Show Discussion

Quality b-day rawk.

Show was good rock.  I'll have to listen to it again to form a better opinion, but I thought that Moma, Gin, Slave, and Twist were all pretty solid.  I kept hoping for the Oye Como Va to materialize out of Twist though.....



I didn't get this in on the LST thread, but it seemed appropriate given the last round of pictures. 


My ghetto solution to keeping my laptop cool for the whole show.  It tends to overheat on long video playback.

sorry to see that you're a browns fan too...   :shakehead:

Kudos to Gumbo for his six-way group orgy in the middle of a Phish show. I hope Page Side & Rage Side were among the participants.

Quality b-day rawk.

This it was. This it was. Loved the show, but analytical assessment is impossible seeing as I was this guy  ......as would be expected of course.

I believe I phoned MBW last night according to my phone logs....but I'm not sure if I spoke to a human.  :hereitisyousentimentalbastard

That single travel condom is keeping you up.  It needs to be used.

I was not psyched about this show at all.  Was expecting much bigger things  for the VT phamily.

Julius was probably the highlight for me.  R&R~>Twist was brutal.  My least favorite show of the tour other than maybe Hollywood Bowl.

I can't believe I just hated that much.... what's happening to me!  :crazy:

yeah this show felt pretty phoned in to me... with the exception of Carini>DWD. Had a good time watching the stream with Caravan, Hicks and Burmesepython though.

Glad to hear SF had a great time. Couldn't have been any other way.

Other highlights: Wolfmans (always), Zero (It was weird), and Fishmans hurricane dress.

[Hicks]

lol @ Gumbo, this show was definitely subpar even for 3.0, pretty SER ripcords out of Rock n' Roll and Twist IMO.

Carini> DWD was pretty sweet though.

[sunrisevt]

Not a record-breaker, but not phoned in either, IMHO. Wolfman's and Bathtub Gin both went places in the first set. Second set had some fire. I'll know more after I listen to the record.

I was all over the place, literally 100's of friends attending. It was a treat seeing so many 'paugers here in VT--got to meet SF finally, saw 92 a few times, had a beer w/ birdman & bros before hitting the lot, and met mb's & rr's baby girl. Unquestionably a win for sunrisevt yesterday.

[Caravan2001]

Pretty much what I expected from a tacked-on at the end of the tour benefit.  A greatest hits, short and sweet blaster....Had some good parts but they never really let it all hang out.  Still fun to watch the stream with the other PDX Paugers.....I would have a had a great time if I was there.  The Rock and Roll got pretty much sliced in half which sucks....The Slave was really good, but odd placement, kind of brought some energy down IMO....Still, nothing stands out as 'bad', just pretty "safe" which again, is what I expected from a benefit.  I was reading some reviews around the web, or at least stumbled upon some hate and it's like what a bunch of douches.  Phish plays a free show to raise money for Vermont, which they desperately need and that's all there is to it.  Why sweat them? Sure, I could have used a Bag, Camel Walk, YEM, Reba or Bowie, but whatevs...they didn't have to do anything but they gave back to the community so as far as I am concerned, this show was a major winner.  Happy birthday SF!!!!
