2019-07-14 Alpine Valley - East Troy, WI - Post-Show Discussion

This show has failed to suck*.

*Meatstick can fuck off, tho.

I used to have some aversion to that song too, but it was tons of fun last night!

I will dance to it if I'm there (unless I need to pee) but I do not like it.

You are mostly full of sane, rational thought.
This is not one of those.

I'll admit that it doesn't make sense to dance to a song that I dislike but... when you're at a Phish show, there's only so much standing with your arms crossed that you can do before your arms and feet get tired.

Was blown away last night on the couch and then listened to the whole second set again on headphones an hour later.  This show was triumphant in so many ways.  An all-timer for sure.  As I stated to my massive Twitter following (almost 400!), this was a textbook bomb drop.

The only bad thing about this show is up until Alpine3 I was not worried about what was left for Denver.  Now I have some concerns.  But super happy for everyone that was there.

Went straight to Ruby Waves.  Fuck yeah! 
***** again mods we need an air guitar emoti!   :rawk: :rockout: :smoke: :mrgreen: 8-)

edit - love the ambient jam to close, makes this version that much more triumphant. 

[VDB]

This show has it all. Congratulations to the happy couple!

You are probably thinking of someone else.

That Ruby Waves jam! Giving the first half of 2nd set a 3rd spin in the last 24 hours.

awesome weekend at alpine.  this hometown venue can be rough, but when it's half full, it's the best.  no issues getting in.  no issues with security. no bathroom lines.   

sunday afternoon was a typical last day of a 3 night run.  pool all day, got perma-buzz rocking all day long, laughing your ass off at stupid jokes every 5 minutes.

rolled up to our spot in the pavilion right next to the soundboard.  we had a great crew, and then we proceeded to get our minds completely blown.  i hadn't crossed off an old song on my stats in a couple of years and i get the first 2 of the night!  about time for The Landlady, seeing this on my stat list was so annoying.

you've read all the reviews, but getting to see that show with the lights full on in your face center view.  oh man.  i mean we saw every interaction, we could hear every bit of banter.  during ruby waves we wandered deserts, climbed mountain tops, swam in the depths of the bottom of the ocean, and even punched jupiter in it's stupid red spot. 

a lot of the longer jams from this summer didn't have the direction or the driving force that this one did.  it was tight as hell and the peaks were great. 

there was a lot of heavy metal in this show and it was the best.

i'm still recovering.

It's funny... the Landlady is literally the first song I ever saw Phish play live.

It definitely reminds of the Tahoe Tweezer from '13 and, the Chalk Dust from Randall's Island '14.  Both of those jams have a direction and purpose that is salient above the rest from those respected tours.

My first as well......

looks like that was the first Landlady as well!

ncluding the 1st confirmed performance of The Landlady ouside Punch You In The Eye (although see 4/7/90 for a reported earlier version). Trey said that The Landlady opener was "indirectly dedicated to the spirit of Carlos".
