HOT POLL ACTION - 3.0 "Best Of Battle" - FYF vs. 3.0TweezFest

[VDB]

I thought this was a tough call and then I realized that, thinking back on other top shows, I prefer the jam-heavy ones to the seguefest ones, so FYF it is.

Amid this lengthy piece, one might find some relevancy to this thread:

Great article from .net about last night's show

All the comparisons led me to revisit Bomb Factory for the first time in a while. May I please have some of that crack when you guys are done with it?

This set actually reminds me a lot of the Led Zep segment in AC more than anything else.

Was actually thinking earlier today that the Zep show was the only other time that matched the energy of last night's show. It was wild.

I was thinking about revisiting that set actually the other day. Never did give any of that weekend a re-listen...might be about time.

I voted FYF
I like the improv in that Jim, CDT, Carini, and Undermind.

both got a nice YEM in the first set.

MPP show I thought had more energy and the crowd was really into it.
Dicks crowd was still into it but not as much as on sunday.
But I also group that Dicks 12 run as the best Phish run I have seen.

I think the transitions are better at MPP than they were for the AC 2010 show.

Both great sets shows, but Dick's by a mile, no contest.

It would be interesting to know when folks last listened to that 2012 Dick's show.

A couple weeks ago? Watched the webcast rip.

I revist the FYF show about once a month for the jamz.
And when they bust into Emotional Rescue.

I listen to that second set on 9/2 a good bit too.

I hadn't revisited it in a while until this poll popped up. Upon relistening, I still really dig it. I think you're right that the level of playing may have been somewhat overstated given the significance at the time (I'd argue that holds true for MPP2 also), but overall, I think its easily one of, if not the only, complete shows from top to bottom.

It's also still the only 3.0 show I have listened to from start to finish more than once. So there's that.

It would have been crazy if they'd used "Also Sprach Zarathustra" instead of "Alaska" for the A.

Or Alumni Blues, AC/DC Bag, ASITHOS, Axilla......anything other than Alaska really.

Yeah, but the Emotional Rescue over Esther was a great choice.

True, but Farmhouse dissolved into this 2001-type space, so...
