06/08 - DCU Center - Worcester, MA - Post-Show Discussion

There is a great moment during roses when the audience realized that they were going to take the jam out there. There wasa collective burst of energy from everyone there. It was great.

Reminds one of the Cities at Berkeley. Looking forward to hearing the show.

I dig these Free openers....only if they can keep the energy throughout the rest of the show or set.

[emay]

haha I think its funny that livephish broke the roses into a 5 min roses > 4 min worcester jam...
will prob only listen to the roses, gin, dwd > sand > nellie kane, and 2001 from this show. They got a lot left for bonnaroo.

cant wait for AC!!!!!! :crazy:

Bvaz reviews = cutting edge Paug journalism.  That's all I needed to see.

Just got back from DCU. What a fuckin night, man.
We had some niice seats on PageSideRageSide, pretty much even with the front of the stage like 20 ft away. Nice view of the band all the way across and the crowd. I was pretty pumped by the time they started, had just finished a bunch of coffee and was super baked. I didn't stop gettin down hard from the beginning of Free on through Axilla, at least.
Roses was especially dank - just as we thought the were gonna end the song with some big ol' finish, they built it up super heavy until all we could do is look around at eachother and then it just oozed into this meandering groove that made everyone go wild. Axilla fuckin raged the place, I saw some kids in the front row throwing their entire bodies in like every direction during the whole thing.
Bouncing Around the Room was nice to see cause I've always liked that song, but I can't say it really grabbed my attention. Bathtub Gin was really sweet, I had a "what song is this" moment a while into the jam which I was pleasantly surprised by.

For the second set, I liked the Disease opener but can't remember anything too striking about it. Mike's Song and Makisupa were really solid, Mike was doing some wacky things to his bass and makin noises that I didn't know a bass could. Weekapaug Groove was pretty delicious. Velvet Sea was.. well, it was lame. Our whole section sat down for that one. And though Suzy Greenberg was a fun, energetic encore, I still can't figure out if I like that song.

Anyways, overall I had a really, really good time. Gettin off work early for the show was a plus..
I'm not sure how KoP convinced me to write this.
Goooooood night.

mango = tyler?

that was my next guess.
I'm just glad we don;t have another user with an avatar of someone else's dog.  one is enough on here.  :-D

I'm the only one creepy enough to pull it off.

[whatapiper]

Sounds like i have some listening when I finally get back from this weekend of graduation hell. 

[McGrupp]

Liking this Roses jam.

[Thrillhouse]

This gin is goopy and thick.

[Mango]

This gin is goopy and thick.

Yeah dude, it went really well with a fat joint..

[Gumbo72203]

Roses jam:  FUCK YEAH.  Trey owned the entrance; fucking perfect.  They kept the command a lot longer than I thought.  There was one point where Page was ascending towards an implied cadence, but Trey fumbled chords and the jam never recovered.  Sunk into typical 3.0 territory, but legit...before that happened...HOLY FUCK.  Real Phish. 

Julius:  best of 3.0?  Maybe.  Fucking incredible.  See Mike and Trey hook up on that theme they did.  So great.

Gin:  definitely best of 3.0.  Made me think of 1.0.  Just solid, all together.  The weird slow down and then the fucking EXPLOSION in speed was just amazing.  Total hose.   LEO!!!!!!!!!  Thats what Phish is about. 

Disease:  i like this.  6:20ish in when Page lays on the piano and Trey is trilling.  The best thing is that Trey is sticking to notes; he's letting things develop instead of noodling.  He's hanging on given notes, and letting things develop behind it.  Thats how you jam correctly.  Pay Jorgan!  OMG PAGE OWNING at 8:38


This is going to be an epic tour.  Trey sounds so comfortable in the jamming.  Holy crap.  The whole band is listening to each other, fucking following and leading.  This is what we wanted guys, this is what we wanted.

[mattstick]

Honestly (and I'm not trying to be insulting here) but coming from you, "Best of 3.0" holds zero credibility.

[danje]

Other than the Roses, I wasn't a fan of last night's first set. The Sand was extremely groovy while it lasted, and the 2001 ended very well. Page destroyed his solo in Suzy.

[mattstick]

Some great interplay towards the end of Sand, and the transition into Nellie Kane was fun, albeit too early.

[gainesvillegreen]

Better show last night than 6/7 I thought. Maze had moments. Some FUN in the second set.

We'll see what Bonnaroo brings...
