09/03 - Dick's Sporting Goods Park - Commerce City, CO - Post-Show Discussion

It's got some great parts.  I loved the Llama and freaking LOVED the Tweezer and the Disease, as well as the Disease reprise......that said, the other two nights will get more play around my house.....except for the Disease Tweezer....Live, when they kept the KDF going it was pretty rad and the Llama was probably the best 3.0 version....

Forgot about the Llama. It's pretty cool, as was the DWD reprise, but I highly doubt either will get very much play 'round heeya. The only thing I might go back and listen to more than a few times from this night is the Tweezer.   

Everything else = meh to the max imo  :|

havent relistened to anything but the tweez but i def left feeling good about this show, several personal highlights and a few mid-lights and many of the songs on our list of "must hear list" for our only weekend w/ phish this year were checked off, greatest hits style.  in some ways, it actually pays to only see a few shows a year.  until they dont play yem or bowie all weekend.

It's funny, seeing as many shows as I do.... I was actually psyched they didn't play either of those tunes. With all the predictability in the shows these days, NOT playing songs I would expect is a good thing!

It'll make the YEM @ the Benefit all the more tasty!

Of course this was the second three day run in CO in a row w/ no YEM. . .

That's because all the heady CO fans got it in Telluride  :wink:

I kinda wish they closed 3rd night first set with bowie, or bowie encore would have been $$$

Bowie encore.

Was originally going to post this in the Hampton Halley's Video thread, but I figured I'll leave the 3.0 arguments to their respective threads:

it's funny... although this jam (hampton 97 halleys) easily crushes ANYTHING done in 3.0 -- after watching this vid I found myself browsing other vimeo vids from 2010 (specifically the Dick's Tweezer) expecting to be saddened by the musical degression.  However, I was not.  While perhaps not 25 minutes of cohesive musical bliss, this Tweezer jam is groovin' and intrigues my musical interest in a similar way that many 1.0 Phish jams do.  It displays incredible musicianship, patience and great listening by all 4 members.  I could only dream of finding other musicians as "hooked up" as these guys are, it's really amazing.  Anyone who has tried to form a band before knows how rare it is to find that connection w/ someone, let alone all 4 people having it.   Arguably their worst point (3.0) in 20+ years of playing together and they still are locked in w/ eachother on an unworldly level at times. Yeah Phish!

When trey starts up the funk jam outta the halley's it reminds me a lot of how he comes right out the gate with the plinko jamming in the 7below from the night before.
