^ First Time Played

Interesting setlist. Nothing really grabs me but I have to hear it first.

I'd love to see video footage of Fish laying on the stage during DFB.  :-D

Back to back Tubes...? They must not have liked the one they busted out at Camden, I guess.   :?

[Buffalo Budd]

I'm interested to hear that 1st set fer sure.   

[Here Comes The Joker]

I think the tube more has to do with them playing the four fishman penned tunes in a row.  Stream was in at the tale end and trey saying something about now another one from the journal of Jon Fishman.

I got my lengthwise!!!!!!!

It was a decent show.  I gave it a B-/B.  A show where everything was really good, the flubbed parts weren't horrid, and I was surprised by the sickness of the Ghost.

It seems like the band is almost there...but they need a little shove over the abyss.

Good times, tho, fo sho, good times.

[fauxpaxfauxreal]

You guys should definitely check out the ghost.  I thought it was some next level shit.

[ytowndan]

The LP is up now.

[VDB]

LP SBDs are now up. Just looking at track lengths (which, OK, we know, isn't everything), I see an almost-14:00 Moma (sigh of relief) followed by a 13:00 Stash. Can't be all that bad, eh?

Gumbo, Tube, Halley's all short again, but that doesn't mean they can't be hot too. 15:00 Ghost in the 2-2 hole. Just about the rest of set 2 (BDTNL, FEFY, Maze, Theme, Alaska, Possum) look like they got at least a moderate workout.

Looking forward to giving a listen.

dude, you totally topped me gettin BDTNL on my B_ DAY wiht that Lenghtwise tonite!  
i'm so proud you got that... totally freakin unreal.
you workd some serious WEek4paug MOJO right there!

BTW., i think this show looks alot stronger thatn some folks are thinkin. though it doesnt surprise me, the last time they played ghost on 6.4 everyone wasnt stoked about that list either... apparently i have different taste in setlist than the majority of the peeps @ week4paug. personally i'm really stoked to hear both sets and esp the Ghost>FEFY, Halleys>maze. that 4 songs looks like one of the best list portions of the tour IMO.

The LP is up now.

Yep...  only a matter of time now.  :-)

[blatboom]

I like just about every song played tonight.

Ghost into FEFY does intrigue me and anything that goes into Maze is usually going to kick shit into overdrive.

[guyforget]

i dont usually review in post-show-glow

but i had a lot of fun tonight, whole crew did

kicked it w/ goodabouthood, bobby, raged it

[WhatstheUse?]

Tonight was real good.  I give the slight edge to camden still, but the boys are on fire.  Def check out that ghost.

I was front row almost all second set staring Trey in the FACE!  Absolutely un-fucking believable.  Also had a great time hanging out with goodabouthood for a good part of the show and randomly was behind sophist in the beer line!

Knox will be fire, and Bonnaroo late-night will be legendary.  :-o
