06/19 - SPAC - Saratoga, NY - Post-Show Discussion and Review

[Buffalo Budd]

My bro picked me up a Pollock from this night as an early housewarming gift!
First print, too!

Very cool.

It's true, I spoke to Aug's brother in the bathroom @ Finger Lakes and he confirmed this story.

[Buffalo Budd]

So being at SPAC too Matt, how would you rank the Canandaigua show to either of those nights?

[mattstick]

If I had to rank them...

SPAC 2
Canadags
SPAC 1

[Buffalo Budd]

Cool, just wondering.
SPAC2 would definitely top my list of shows I've seen in 3.0

This show did not disappoint on playback today.  One of the better first sets of the tour, imo... very solid playing throughout.

Add in a pretty sweet R&R jam and probably the best Bowie of 3.0 and you've got some win!

Yeah man....  i was so bummed when they brought it down with Ya Mar; that first set was on its way to epic proportions.


Imagine if they slotted a fuckin like....46 Days instead of Ya Mar.  I love Ya Mar, and it was played great, but it totally blueballed all the fucking insane energy that that Tweeprise > Chalkdust, Funky Bitch > Runaway Jim created.  That 4-song run of non-jammers rivals the Albany Seven Below > Ghost for favorite "string" of Phish songs i've seen...  fucking unreal.

Btw, I really like the end of this Rock and Roll....  that shit Trey does is way cool.

Nice find RJ. I don't watch many vids due to time constraints, but that Show Of Life is choice. Would love to see more of that show in that format...
