  1. Hey all,

    Just thought Id post a pretty important heads up for those that may be anticipating picking up there Hampton tickets at Will Call.

    I was told at the time of purchase (aprox month and a half ago) by phone that because this is a Canadian order that my tickets would be held for me at the venue and I would have to make arrangements to pick them up there.

    No Problem!

    As the tix were on my gf's credit card i faxed a letter to Hampton Coliseum with my id, her id and her credit card explaining that I would be the one actually attending the show. No Problem!

    So last night i decide to call Hampton to make sure that everything is in order and they explain to me that there will be NO WILL CALL for any of the Phish shows in January. Hunh?

    Problem!

    So onto ticketmaster i go and after about 35 minutes of dealing with a ticketmaster customer service rep my tickets should now be arriving within the next ten business days. So just as a heads up for any of you i would highly recommend that you contact ticketmaster NOW if you have any questions with your orders.

    "But tequilas where it starts and where it ends! "

    See yas at New Years!

    Review pulled from section 7 list...

    thanks to dave Bonan

    Robert Hunter played between setsalright, time for my review.

    look at the fucking setlist, it was amazing.

    met jim and his friend near msg and it turns out we

    were both regulars on the max creek forum! then jim

    ditched us, the ass but then we found him.

    got inside surprisingly a whole lot quicker than

    hartford, took under 5 minutes! i was in at 7:15 and

    saw the big cloud of smoke, some 6 sections long and

    made my way to smell it. i didn't sit in my section of

    319, but was visiting a friend 4 rows behind the stage

    and stayed the whole time at an emtpy seat,

    surprisingly.

    all the band members were doing their traditional

    huddle and having a blast. i saw derek trucks hanging

    out behind stage so i knew there would be a treat

    later on.

    before they started, they talked to the crowd and just

    plain smiled like they were about to open a bag of

    goodies. then the explosive downbeat chord of viola

    and voila, we were under way to a great nite. they did

    the whole viola lee and they got into that raucous jam

    and unlike stranger in hartford, they got lost in the

    jam and loved it and came back to the head and nailed

    it. aiko was great and mickey sang it and it was

    energizing and he wouldn't stop the chorus. smiles all

    around from band members. The Music Never Stopped was

    a real treat and then i knew it would be a great show

    and then alligator, give me a break, but they spaced

    out the lyrics like they now do with the other one.

    then baba jingo's intro was enticing. i hate the song,

    believe me, but i must recant after last nite. don't

    get me wrong i still have contempt, but it was on the

    ball musically. then a pause and a stare at the crowd

    and BAM! downbeat of shakedown. i was ready to go home

    now and the setlist is wrong, it segues into good

    lovin, but it wasn't the '78 version, rather the old

    '70 intro. and bobby and susan were awesome. a couple

    of Hahhhhhs from sideshow did it and instead of ending

    it, went back into the '70 outro.

    the 1st set had a lot of surprises, great

    musicianship, no one person ruled the stage, it was

    shared.

    hunter came out within 5 minutes, a change from

    harshford. the setlist from memory (still intact) was

    Box of Rain, Candyman, Easy Wind->Mr. Charlie->Easy

    Wind, Wharf Rat, ?, Ripple, ?*

    *this probably was either written by hunter or an

    original irish jig because it sounded like a

    celebration announcment from an oldtime pub from years

    past with a tinge of irish.

    second set started 5 minutes after hunter left.

    tomorrow never knows was soulful thanx to susan. i

    heard in boston, she was 9th fiddle and they had to

    move the stacks for her to squeeze in. she's now a

    member.

    dark star was a great surprise and i heard tinges of

    the other one at the very end but it went into THE

    BEST VERSION OF WATCHTOWER I HAVE EVER HEARD. it was

    so raw, so powerful, jimmy ripped me a new asshole. it

    was better than any dead version i've heard and almost

    rivaled a creek version. but i was watching derek tune

    up his guitar and i thought he would have ripped

    watchtower but he didn't. oh well. then it dipped back

    into dark star and stopped briefly. the cryptical.

    wow. the a phil bomb and an extended into and then

    finally the other one with phil hitting hard chords at

    the end of each bar. with bobby looking at phil and

    then at the drummers and the solo was actually mellow

    with everyone playing softly above it. drums was

    really strong and better than hartford, not textured.

    mickey played the beast a lot and billy played the

    talking drum. yay! space wasn't great but it was okay

    and a great phil intro in the other one sent it on its

    way, bound to cover just a little more ground. and i

    was thinking earlier in the set if they wanted to

    flashback to the 60's, lovelight was it and it was.

    then derek and warren came by to play, making it 10

    people on stage. bobby then passed a solo to derek,

    but his guitar i think wasn't fully in tune (he had

    enough time but i think he knew something was wrong)

    so warren took a verse and his voice was awesome. then

    derek took a mini solo and it was nothing to write

    home about and i wish it was going to be more.

    lovelight was short and only about 7 or 8 minutes.

    then the donor rap and phil talking about how nyc was

    the city of compassion. and something or other.

    then sugar mag. yummy. then an end and then sunshine

    daydream. with bobby hitting big chords and swinging

    his arm with an around the world.

    show was done at 11:30pm.

    i left and was about to go to my hostel for the nite a

    few blocks away and get much needed sleep before

    catching a train back today but being shoe means you

    are the last one to leave. i met this cool girl, who

    flew in from chicago earlier in the day to meet with

    her client, also going to the show and her clients

    gave her some fungi. she said there was a show at

    tobacco road after and if i would be her guide. free

    cab ride, thanx to her company. colonel bruce was

    playing and they aren't worth going back again. the

    doorman said "very special" guests. bullshit. left at

    3am to no avail. the girl was short $10 bucks, i

    loaned it to her and she said she our bar tab would be

    handled by her company! what a lass!

    this show would probably be hailed as the best of the

    whole run.
