First Song at Hampton

[gah]

as i drove around today and listened to bowie from radio city 2000 it made me think that would be good, because they can draw out that beginning for as long as they want with the crowd going as nuts as they want, before actually having to drop into it, same as 2001, but i think bowie would have the place going nuts.

[gimmetela]

bowie is what they left the mothership on...could be, could be...

[gah]

ok, it's been decided. bowie it is. someone let the boys know.

 :lol:

Boston's 'Foreplay > Longtime'.
That would be the perfect opener.

"It's been such a long time..."

Alright I've given it some more thought, and I've changed my mind....Bowie would be sick:
The lights go down...no one knows what's going on...all of the sudden a lone high hat starts up.  The boys start painting colors all over this backdrop, of longing, of joy...then OUT of nowhere they kick it into OverDrive and PLOW through Bowie without a single mistake.  It would be a fantastic way to start.

ok, it's been decided. bowie it is. someone let the boys know.

Who's gonna make the call?

i just did. talked to brad sands maids sons who i met at a wedding 6 years ago in bumblefutch PA on a random night, and he knew that trey was thinking about taking a break, and then decided if they ever got back together, he would let some anonymous person from a website dedicated to those ridiculously obsessed with the band decide what the opener would be when he decided that if they ever took a break, but not really, but broke up so that he could get clean, and then decided to get back together four years later because he missed it so much he would rather play YEM 5 times  a night for the rest of his life than have the use of his left nut, which apparently isn't that useful really, and is used as a reserve,  it would be where such person that spoke with the maids son while being pushed around in a wheel chair not belonging to him for no other reason than it would be fun with a lei around his neck and two jack and cokes, one in each hand, would be living (norfolk), or thereabouts, i.e. Hampton, and that at that time, like the bat signal being shone into the night sky, he would send a telepathic message asking what we on previously stated such site would want to be the opener, and as through the last 12-13 pages have concluded, that david bowie would be the only way to go, and so it would be, and to just let him know.

























he said he'll get back to me.

[redrum]

don't wanna rain on the bowie parade but i just don't see it happening.
i agree with the space/hi hat/then bam they drop into it, being cool.
but i doubt they'll wanna jump right into the composed segment type stuff right off the bat (unless it's yem).


next question:

will trey speak, before the instruments do?

[gah]

its going to be as follows, otherwise trey might lose his left nut or die!

03/06/09
set I: YEM > YEM
set II: YEM > YEM
enc: YEM

03/07/09
(repeat above)

03/08/09
(repeat above)

"When Phish broke up, I made some comment about how I'm not gonna go around playing 'You Enjoy Myself' for the rest of my life," Anastasio told Rolling Stone. "And it's so funny because Fish and Mike and Page have been talking to each other a lot lately and now — it's not that I can't believe that I said that, but its symbolic of how much I lost my mind or how much I lost my bearings or something. Because at this point in time I would give my left nut to play that song five times in a row every day until I die. I certainly thought about that while I was in jail.

I don't think so.  But I would think he'll make an "announcement" of sorts.  A "Thank you for being here" and a "we're really lucky to be able to do this."  I'm calling it to be after the 3rd song first night.   :wink:
