[1] Crosseyed tease from Trey.
Notes: During Alumni, Fish stated he didn’t have a degree and later said he did. After Alumni, Trey said that Fish did have a degree, adding that they met in 1983 at UVM and that Fish held a very interesting record: the lowest grade point average ever recorded at UVM. Fish added “for a non-fraternity student” and both Trey and Fish joked about Fish’s GPA (giving low numbers). Trey added that they were both saved by Page at Goddard and that Page earned $100 for recruiting them to Goddard. Trey introduced Tube and My Sweet One as Fishman songs, asking the crowd to count the number of times “you” appeared in the song. There was a delay in starting My Sweet One until Page said they have a lot of interesting stories (about Fishman), prompting Fishman to immediately start the song. Mike’s and Suzy contained a Crosseyed teases from Trey.

I was really excited to listen to this show as a lot of folks seemed to think it was a rager. But, I was let down. Very sloppy, very disjointed jamming…not much here for me. Sounds like they needed a night off.

“Very sloppy” :laughing: wow.

I guess if this show is considered very sloppy the bar is back to 1.0 standards :thumbup:

rager doesn’t always mean best jams of 3.0 though, by most people’s definition…I had as much fun at this show as any I’ve seen, and there was nothing in their demeanor that said they needed a night off, they had one the night before :astonished: :wave:
