I know that at least a handful of Skancs were there, and I remember being able to distinctly see BradM down front from where I was sitting.

It was all about meeting Stan Loungeman.

And here I thought it was all about meeting Heady Epic.

Holy crapola. I forgot all about that! His review of that show brings a tear to my eye:

Hey yo, met some kids from Ottawank, and they told me to come on over and visit. I groundscored this laptop during Summer tour, so I can stay in touch and let you guys know where Heady Epic is at. This is what I thought of Albany.Yeah, I took so much molly, that I almost ate my tongue. That was sweet. We had pretty good seats, on Paigee's side, about 5 rows back. We werent supposed to be there, but I jumped the barrier, and my idiot friends that gave me the ticket followed. Actually, I was trying to get away from them, because they were all "Dude, we need money for the hotel." "Dude, can you pay part of this food bill" "Dude, that schwill aint free, you know?" "Dude, do you have any moo-la" Fuck those guys, I was getting stoned and toked! ITS PHISH FOR FUCK'S SAKE! And, it was, with a Chalkdust that made me almost hurl my pot cookies. It was that wickedly good. I was screaming the whole "Can I live while I'm young" cause people be always getting down on me. Suddenly, I looked at the Jedi as he was screaming it, and I yelled at him "You custie old fucker, you aint young, dont sing that shit!" so I started clapping along to Stash, and Luke Skywalker looked at me and turned to the others onstage. They were all like "you know it, you red-headed fuck face" and they played it. Phish should pay me when I get that close and direct the entire show. Guyute is still an ugly pig that slops his own shit too much. I see that song every second show or something when I am on tour. When I see it in Boston, I am going to wack the first kid in front of me. I think they played Sparkle and then Thunderhead or something, but I was pissing on some dudes coat. Fuck, when you gotta go, are you going all the way to the bathroom and miss two songs? Anyways, when the narc smells like piss, thank me you dont get busted. I piss on all their coats. I dont know what it is about Wolfmans, but when that song is played like the bomb-diggity that it is, chicks wanna dyke out. All around me, lovely breasted beauties were rubbing their rosebuds in each others pelvic-thrusts, and you could hang your coat on any of their nipples. I pulled out my meatstick, and screamed "Shock my brain you awesome bitches!" Gordo took it over and went into the deep funk, and he knew that I knew that he knew that it was my magic hand on my stiff rod that did it. I put her into fourth gear and the band followed suite. I didnt take off all my clothes this time. The man always gets down on me, and I have to do some shit talking to get back in. The chicks brah, shit, they were following my golden beast up and down. Some dude was scabbin' on me, so I punched him in the head, and whiped my dirty nuts along his mouth when he was down. Dont dig on the Heady Epic dude. It'll be a GTBT sort of thing if ya aint careful. I put my lovepepperoni back in my shorts, and went looking for some action, cause the music was over. Then, I heard Tweezer as I was walking back in from outside. It was cold out, but the room was getting pretty hot, and the chicks were ready for some Heady Epic! Heck, Heady Epic was looking for some epic head, Tweezer was pumping, chicks were jumping, I was thumping, the master of the night CK5 was humpin us, the boys were dumping their shit on us, girls were rubbing down, things turned around, then, this clown was all in my face. He was like "dude, you cant come in here. Show me your ticket" I was like 'Dude, its Tweezer man!' I kicked him in the nuts, and got up on the first row. Gordo looked at me and whispered "Where the hell have you been? We were kinda lost up here" So I yelled out "Deodato Daddyoda" and they bust out the A to the S to the mother-fucking Z yo! Its 2001 and the Chicks were lovin me at this point, as I was letting them ooze into the Heady's head-space. I started thinking I may not find those idiots I came with, and I didnt know what hotel we were at, so I found me these two ladies that didnt have hair under their arms. They smelled my arse, and knew what I knew. We were going to nasty-spice it up later.And then, Phish warned us that they were about to cum with the 'naaaaaa, naaaaaaaa, naaaaaaaaaaaaaa, NAAA NAAAAAAAAAA' part! Sure enough, they came right in our faces with 'NA NA NA, NA NA NA, NA NA NAAAAAAA, NA NA NAAAAAAAA, NAAAAAAAAA, NAAAAAAAAA, NAAAAANAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! That fuckin Na's yo! It dont get better than that. Fishman looked down, saw me and my ladies, and winked at me. I knew he was going to try and get in here, that dirty daddy, but screw him. I like Claypool to share with. That fucker's got some dirty tricks up his sleave, and you learn from the pro's with the ho's. Fishman knew I was going to bust his ass, so they started playing You Enjoy Myself. I looked up at that fat little fucker, and gave him the look. He knew I wasnt going to enjoy him, and he wasnt going to enjoy me and my ladies. When the cowbell came out, it was his way of sayin' "Sorry brah" I didnt matter none, cause I was still groovin down. It was porno-funk all the way. I was about to check with the ladies if they wanted to make their dues with me, but that light-saber weilding mother-fucker and the mop got up on the tramps. The red-headed ONE almost missed his jump, and they were all screwed up after that. I should have left the show then, cause when that nasty spooge is left, ya gasted. I was crunked by this point, and they brought out some shitty washed-up born again christian insurance salesman/rhythm guitarist playing a song that he ripped off from Skynard's Swamp Music. All those people that got excited are inferior tools! Camel Walk was ok, but it just got worse until Antelope, which was ok again, and then that stupid Hendrix shit came out. How people go crazy about a black guy that cant play funk or blues, but sounds like some white guy jerking off always pisses me off. Black people dont dig on Hendrix, seeeeeee? I aint no sucka like all those in the house. Fishman got cheesed that I was going to get laid, Gordo saw me laughing at that skinny boner-head trying to jump on the tramp, Page never cares and only listens to what I tell the others and then does it anyways, so I should have left. They stopped listening to me after YEM cause they were pissed, so they got back at me with that other shit. I stole some other dudes coat, I smelled it first, and then I got out of there. Went to the lot, stole a burrito and some beers, and found some New Hampshire kids to play with. I think I slept in their room, until they caught me nailing their younger college sister in the bathroom......................................

[Freeker]

Dan Torjman = Stan Loungeman. In fact I think I've heard him go by other names as well. Same guy Mary, the man the myth the legend LOUNGEMAN!

That whole night was filled with crazy. From crazy drunken Rob from moe. spun out in the lobby, to multiple N20 incidents in the lot to YEM perfection to Holdsworth ruining the best show I had ever seen.

..can't believe that was 2 years ago

[bradm]

From crazy drunken Rob from moe. spun out in the lobby

It's not just that he was drunkenly spun out in the lobby of the hotel, it's that he was drunkenly spun out in the lobby of wrong hotel.

Aloha,

Brad

I can't believe it's been two years etither, but I have to disagree with you on the Holdsworth issue. True, he couldn't really keep up and shouldn't have been out there for as long as he was (Kid Rock, anyone?), but seeing the originals out there twenty years after it all began was incredible, and for a brief moment was about more than the "here and now," as it were.

preech on brother

[The Chameleon]

I was at this show too. The first set was mind blowing, however the Jeff Holdworth stuff was cool and sad all at the same time.

Cool because he was back to complete the cirlce 20 years on. Sad becuase he couldn't play and Phish as a band was doing everything possible to cover for him musically. He was lost to say the least.

But I still think it was very cool the did it and I was glad I was there.

[Velvet]

Anybody remember who I went to this show with?

[Lazlo]

Was it me?

[Velvet]

I don't think so.

Mighta been Sloth and Jaybone. Just trying to remember if that was that show or not.
