phish just jammed.

Sucks to see that the era of concise jamming is over.  I was really looking forward to them focusing more on the playing of songs and less on fans unrepentent demands for "moar jamming dOOds".  I think it sucks that yet another Down With Disease has no ending and that from the looks of things, this set seems to be more 3.0 nostalgia.

Oh well.

Of course, the Down With Disease might actually contain something of interest.  I'm sure they led into the jam firing on all cylinders.  Here's hoping that the jam contains more playful genre bending as opposed to the same ole Page on Clav, trey on wah and fish going all syncopated.

I'm sure this show will get fluffed, because it contains a huge jam dudes, and also they might not have overtly fucked up some of the other songs, and maybe 2001 was  a little more active than usual.

However, like most 3.0, I'm sure this one was fun to be at, and there will be many people who argue that this show is an all time great and a sign of awesomeness to come.

I'd rate it, but it hardly even seems worth it at this point.

Tela: trainwreck or sublime?

Read good things about Tela and Fluffhead.  Couldn't really tell through the sharts.

Worst LST ever?

It's way overplayed and has lost all impact whatsoever.  In 97 it was a "2 or 3 times a tour" type of song.  That made it a surprising treat when it was brought out.  I'm sure like all 3.0 fluffs, it probably has an inspiring closing jam, however, it is more of the same for 3.0.

Looks pretty solid on paper. I'm saving this show for my 20k tomorrow.  :banana:

[danje]

Excited to hear this DWD and Bowie.

I'll admit I'm curious.
It looks like Mike decided to throw down for his birthday.
The question is, did Trey keep up?
