6/09/09..Asheville, NC..official thread

You are correct.

Let me ask you something…they seem to be having a good time, so why so sad Page?

He’s all like… Weekapaug? What the Hell Fishman?

;D

Bahahaha

VERY good divided sky

…trey is really stepping it up, night and day from hampton even, plus the rest of’em are right there with him.

i like that new bluegrass cover too, fun to hear mike yodel.

and the fishman section of tunes is great, you can tell they’re having a lotta fun right now, that makes me feel nice and warm inside and out. :smiley:

along those lines, who the hell cares if they repeated tube, it was a great version, imo…play it every night if it’s gonna get ya dancin’ like that!

on to the second set after work…

my only critical point about their playing right now is that at times they’re reaching a nice peak, or just about to get to another one, and they bring it back to the main riff of the tune to end it. (i.e. wolfman’s at camden) like they’re conciously keeping some jams shorter. which is fine, less 5 song sets and more 10+ song sets, it’s a give and take i suppose

seems that moma dance has now been reduced to a tightly played 8 minute funk tune, not much stretching out yet at all

not necessarily all complaints (i’m not gonna do a whole lotta that if they keep playing like this and improving) but observations nonetheless

“observation?!? who are you, isaac fuckin newton!??”

/longwindedness ;D

Sitting in Knoxville right now. Went to the show last night (first Phish show). I really don’t have words to describe it. Too good to be true is the best I can come up with.

Reading posts like this is so refreshing. :wink:

Psyched for you man. This is what Phish is supposed to sound like, as opposed to some other years…cough cough '04.

^ but without '04 we wouldn’t have '09…

huh??? i dunno, made sense to me :wink:

Welcome to the world of PHISH! ;D

Phish…who the fuck is Phish?

E: The Wedge, Rocky Top

Some similarities, no? Particularly the Stash, DFB, Gumbo part of the second set.

Anyone else notice that the beginning of Page’s solo on this Maze is fairly Herbie Hancock Chameleon influenced? He even quotes a few licks, pretty cool.

^I read your post like 35 seconds before the beginning of Page’s solo in Maze. weird.

and yes. I agree.

Nice “Ghost” jam! Some shreddage.

Just got back from Knoxville. I went to Asheville as my first show and i was absolutely blown away … Only to have my mind blown even more the next night.

By the way, I was waiting in line and could somewhat hear the soundcheck. And to whom it may concern… they checked McGrupp!

KILLER!!!

DEERCREEK! Yessssss, I could be fine with hearing it there again :slight_smile:
