The Fucking Show!!! Life changing experience here!

No more excuses for not having this show (THIS SHOW, the show)!
Still best time of my life!!
Just came across this photo from the big night. Look at my Soldiers holdin all that dance room! Yeah Michigan Crew!
Two very interesting coincidences/forshadowings:
First, the lyrics to Strange Design. “Hold the wheel, read the sign, keep the tires off the line…”
Second, Trey telling the world to only stay in the right lane unless your passing at Big Cypress.
Phish breaks up.
Trey gets pulled over for swerving in and out of his lane, goes to jail, goes to rehab, gets better.
Phish comes back, and makes our little World a much more joyful place…
The New Years’ runs really do seem to ignore the basic laws of time and space, and reach into the future and the past.
If only they didn’t feed Father Time those meat sticks…
I mean, then again, what if he would have simply yelled, “I DON’T WANT A SLIM JIM?”
The whole Gamehendge Time Factory would have stopped working, because the Great Disco Ball of time would have simultaneously slammed into it, and Axilla would have never been sung the same way again!!!
What a nightmare!

I love what Cypress means to the Phish community. Having never gone, I love hearing accounts of how this show really touched peoples lives. I truly believe that this was one of the greatest concert experiences of all time: just the audience and the band showing their mutual love for each other. In that environment, the band produced what I would consider, THE most transcendental performance of its career. This show embodies literally every single thing about phish I love: the jams, the bond with the audience, the goofiness, bustouts… etc.
No point talking about the music, if you’ve heard it, you know where its at.
my first show.
definitely a life changing experience.

I wish I wasn’t 12 when Big Cypress went down…
But then again, it was what it is, and it is what it has been. And it WILL be. Again and again. '09 was fine! Oh '10 will be zen, my friends!!!
Listening to Rock and Roll right now. What an incredible jam!
On the remastered AUD Adam referenced above, right when they start the ambient jamming, you can hear a group of people yelling “L” “O” “V” “E”, “L” “O” “V” “E”, “L” “O” “V” “E”.
Great post. Great show. Great time. Great friends. Great memories!
^ I remember listening to that and cracking up about that last part Trey talked about.
I can just imagine Trey walking into his house to that family party.
Some neighbor sitting there and asking Trey:
“So,…tell me about your concert Trey?” “What did you guys do?”
How the hell could you even begin to talk about that 3 hours after,…let alone 3 years. 
Trey’s wife yelling at him “Trey,…take out the garbage!” “I need you to go get some milk at the store”
From the most amazing concert,…to the reality of life in a couple hours…crazy.
I was still sleeping in my tent at Big Cypress while the boys were home already.
My favorite version of Sand ever…and many other songs…which I will post my feelings on.

How bout that Antelope Greg character huh?
Haha, well done.
The Antelope from Big Cypress was the shiz too. Oh wait, that was from the previous night. Move along, nothing to see here 
If that monster set would have just been a regular sized set, where do you think it would have ended? I don’t think it would have gone any further than the YEM, (which is nothing short of an amazing version btw). So…for that reason, as much as the Gin and Disease and Twist and Rock and Roll are all top 5 versions, this set really starts getting into some very uncharted waters around Crosseyed and Painless and I think the next 5 hours or so of the set are the best Phish has ever played.
I want to really go off about that Meatstick closer, but I’ll save that for another post.
This is probably my number 1 Rock and Roll, and it’s definitely my favorite jam on this whole show.
