Camden 99 Chalkdust question

Phish Live Shows
#21

1999 gets so much shit from fans and I don’t understand it. People say it was the beginning of the end as far as the lot scene and bad fans coming in, but of the shows and jams I’ve heard from '99, I think it’s more interesting than '98.

I LOVE this show. Period. It’s the kind of show I like though: lots of jamming and interesting segues. I admit the composed stuff is rusty and other criticism Augustus could forward is valid, but I guess that stuff doesn’t bother me. If I’m at the show and they flub composed stuff, it would piss me off. But listening to it just as music and not caring about the “energy” in the room, I love this show. But I like jams and segues, so…

Yea, I like '99, sure it’s not there best year, but its cool. This show is a zillion times better than “the worst phish show ever”

Throughout this past 365 days iv’e realized why i love 99 so much. Sure some of the composed stuff is fucked but i guess by 99( i saw my 100th show in 99) i looked past the composed stuff. Maybe even ignored most of it just waiting to hear something fresh and origianal once the boys got past it. That is probably why most of my favorite versions of songs come from this year. I guess i started seeing things in a differen’t light. I was not as concerned about a show as a whole as just a song as a whole. That’s probably why i love 99 so much. From the Piper at Bonner Springs to the 2001 at Big Cypress i observed things on a song by song basis and not on a show by show basis. In between the songs i just mentioned were the meatstick and Ghost->Slave from Lakewood. The Sally from Blockbuster. The Fee, Birds and Tube from Va beach. The Mike’s-> Twist from Merriweather. The Chalkdust from Camden. The Bowie and Wolfman’s from Great Woods. The YEM and Icculus from Oswego. The Misty from Toronto. The encore from Alpine. The Suzy from the Creek. The Ha Ha Ha, Ghost and Tweezer from Vancouver. The Bag from Boise. The Phil show. The Boogie from Chula. The Sand-> Misty from Texas. The 2001 from Memphis. The Piper from Minnesota. The Mike’s-> Mcgrupp and Tom Marshall madness from Nassau. The Gin from Detroit. The whole 12-11-99 show. The Tweezer from NC. And the second show of hampton. These are all my reasons for lovin 99 so much. Sure i’m a selfish douche bag but fuck it man, I had a blast hearing all these feats!

You’re not selfish, I just envy you.

#25

I’ve often wondered if I’m in the minority, but I could listen to the IT Chalkdust every day.

#26

no way 7.10.99 is the worst show ever, did you people forget coventry, live phish 5? the wilson -> chalkdust -> roggae makes me want to cum my pants, the gin is a very solid version…set 2 is not too inspiring, but still presentable.

btw, hi! new to these parts…

#27

uh…i dont think anyone said that it was the worst show ever.

#28

i read on the first page that somebody had thought it was the lowest point in phish’s career…i’m not accusing you guys in particular, just defending a great show. i guess some guy hates it that much…

#29

i don’t want insanity, i’ve been at PT and got fed up with all the insanity!!! this place is definitly 10x less insane than PT.

hello!

I love 7/10/99 too, but I wouldn’t mention LP 5 with the phrase “worst show ever.” It’s your average great Phish show.

And don’t listen to ICC, he has 2 first names.

#31

bah, humbug!

#32

Listen to Neil, for he is Adam Savage.

#33

I’ve often wondered if I’m in the minority, but I could listen to the IT Chalkdust every day.

#34

#35

Glitch in the Marix?

And I have always felt this show was next up for my “Questionable Live Phish Releases” thread.

#36

LOL
To be honest, before you started that thread, if you told me you were going to start one, I would have said you’re picking 7/10/99 or 7/8/00. I was a little suprised by your selection of 6/14/00.

#37

Anyone else feel that the end of Chalkdust Torture was primed to seque into Manteca, but for some reason fell into Roggae?

#38

whaaaaaat??? absolutely not, and it’s a laughable suggestion. then again i’ve never heard it. :stuck_out_tongue: :slight_smile:

FORK IT OVER, DOOD.
YOU KNOW WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT.
