· Can’t You Hear Me Knocking tease in Seven Below

Notes: The Simpson’s secret language signal was played prior to Monica.

First set was rocking high energy all the way through but things REALLY took off about 3/4 of the way through Birds of a Feather, which proceeded one of the most awesome Wolfmans ever.

Sand->Piper was nice but could have went on for another 10 minutes instead of playing Back on the Train IMO. Kind of a waste of a Tweezer with the BDTNL bailout but all was forgiven after a mind-blowing STEAM. Sweet motherfucker. Always love a good Silent and Antelope. Waiting All Night is a great song too. Really loved the placement. Its the end of the 1st quarter and Phish has a 17-3 lead.

I wonder how long Horse will be shelved, and why.

^Last night was the first time that I didn’t even notice Horse being left off. The lead in was just right, where as the other times this year I’ve been all “Where the hell is Horse?”

I was JUST THINKING of pointing that out in this thread. I think it’s the same dance they do at the end of the 9/30/2000 show, the Vegas DVD.
