Jay Funk Dawg Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 Just like Weirdness, I had an incredible experience. My buddy bought a pair tickets for lawns via some scalping site and in the mail he got 6, 7th row tickets with the message "This is your lucky day." These were the best seats I've ever had a Phish show! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bouche Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 Sorry to read that bashed. But couldnt you have just said " fuck tweeting"? Isn't it about the show anymore?I don't think you would have hurt the blog. Or did they pay for your tix and VIP ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jay sanislo Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 Awesome time at the show. I thought is was pretty solid (from lawn anyway) and nice song selection. David Bowie followed by Bathtub was great. NIce to see everyone and meet a few new peeps aswell! Good times! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay Funk Dawg Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 p.s. best news of the show..."He kept playing music well into his nineties... hopefully we'll be playing well into our nineties, too," - Trey referring to his hero Les Paul who passed away on that very day.yes man!

dancingbear Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 (edited) I'll juxtapose Basher's ordeal with my Darien scoreage. Hit up the box office when I got to the show and picked up a 16th row dead center seat. I guess they released whatever tix friends and family didn't take and there were a few available. Lost out on the tix I had to sell at $20ea but it was well worth it.Not the most off the hook show of all time but still quite good all the same. Def some flubs and so forth but they played through them well. Dinner & A Movie and My Friend were great to see and Rift and The Horse>Silent were a treat as well. I would say that it was pretty up and down, some of it was great and some of it was meh(Caspian). All in all fairly solid song selection and well executed overall. They could have pushed it a bit harder but it was still a lot of fun and clearly they were having a lot of fun playing as well. Page could have been a bit hotter in the mix, they seem to be pushing Trey above everyone else which is a bit annoying.Nice to have the boys back... agreed...as much a trey fan as anyone...but if they turned him down one or two notches i think the mix would sound betterand basher...that sucks man. sorry.its totally who you run into. my ticket wouldnt scan for NYE 2003 and it was a mail order that I got so i knew it was legit,...and the girl just said go ahead.

I know he was trying to live up to his commitment which is very respectful and I know that he lived up to his commitment because I saw the Tweets coming out, which I now know where unfortunately coming from the parking lot. I thought he was in the show at the time.I'm just wondering if they had bought his tickets for him. btw.... I wonder if this is THE Robert Krueger??

The Chameleon Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 (edited) The fist set was a monster and the How how hight the moon tribute to Les Paul was classy.So far from what I've seen this tour it is right behind Alpine and Deer Creek for top shows in 2009.P.S. Way to go Jaydawg! 7th row, Karma paid you off! Edited August 15, 2009 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he was in the show at the time.I'm just wondering if they had bought his tickets for him. Whether or not they paid for his tickets is entirely irrelevent--he had committed to providing this service (to a fantastic site that has a ton of people following it and whose followers enjoy it and have come to depend upon it as their link to the Phish shows) and was determined to do what he'd agreed to do. His efforts were admirable and any suggestion that his actions should be derided because he "wasn't paying attention to/focussing on the music" are ludicrous. He is all about the music. Anyone that knows him will tell you that. But he is also a guy who follows through and he was simply trying to do what he had committed to do. And would never have left the venue had he not been assured reentry.So, while some people might have said, "Hey, I'm in the show, Phish is starting..fuck that blog thing I'm supposed to be doing.." he did not choose that route.

Schwa. Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 i had such a great time. the "buzzkill" songs, as Cully puts it, were still pretty damn good. loved the Brian and Robert. Highlights for me were the Dinner and a Movie for pure nostalgia along with the Bowie>Bathtub and the Horse>Silent and Fluffhead...First Tube encore was a great way to end it. I agree with the fact that Trey was turned up a bit but thought that might just be that he was pretty into it and they just went with who was rockin that night, who knows. Super high energy show for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark tonin Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 (edited) I had a great time at this show and was reminded how much I enjoy seeing this band live. I was at the very back of the pavilion, slightly stage right, and liked the view and the dance space this location provided. I must have been fairly close to the person who shot the videos that are posted above. I thought the sound was good but do agree with others in thinking that at times Page could have been louder in the mix and Trey quieter.Personal highlights included the Bowie and Gin from the first set, the Drowned to start set two and the Antelope > Greenburg > Fluffhead to end the second set. But I really did enjoy it all, as this was my first time seeing Phish in ages and they delivered!I wish I could hit up the final couple of shows and/or fly out to see Phish for Halloween, but those aren't realistic options for me at this time. I've got my fingers crossed that this band continues to tour and play so well as I'd love to see them again at some point.Peace, Mark Edited August 15, 2009 by Guest some edits and added comments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swifty Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 First time seeing Phish since Big Cypress and they delivered Big Time! We had a great time! It was our kids first Phish experience and they had a blast especially when we brought them to the pavilion for a bit of second set. Good times!

Mr. Photogeek Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 Anyone know what the music was between sets? Had a kind of spanish reggae vibe...I kinda dug it.On the sound in general, I found Mike was really loud from where i was (front of the lawn to the left looking at the stage). I agree that Page was really low in the mix though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
