MIKE's SPRING TOUR 2010

I know I haven’t posted here for a few months (chalk it up to having nothing to say after missing Trey), but I saw Mike last night at the Ram’s Head, and I feel compelled to start posting again.

It was better than everything. It was better than anything I’ve heard solo Trey do, and it was better than a LOT of Phish. It was unreal. Everything they played has evolved into something far beyond what we hear on the studio albums; even Sugar Shack must have at least doubled in length, and not just because of a jam but because Mike actually added more structured parts to it. Scott was ON FIRE during the whole set.

Mike is where it’s at, folks.

^ QFT. The version of Sugar Shack I heard on Saturday at New Haven was so much richer and fuller than I though possible … it’s the way Mike meant for it to be played … and yes, Scott Murawski ruxors!

Man, the show was good. Again the Jefferson Theater in Cville is great. This show was nowhere near sold out. Maybe 300-400 people there, maybe.

Mike mentioned that it was the ‘birthday’ of this band, and at the start of the second set we all sang happy birthday to them, which they seemed to enjoy.

A couple of times Mike was playing around with a weird little handheld mixer box, and at one point said we were going to have an exercise in trust and he passed it into the crowd for people to toy around with.

At the end I met Mike at the merch table and attempted to find out about summer tour, and if they’d be playing VA…but he was non-committal about the whole thing.

And sorry, Pei, I didn’t mention that you’d be bringing a bobble-head for him to sign tonight…but I’m certain he’ll be happy to sign it. :slight_smile:

Woot leaving in t-minus 1 hour! Can’t wait to catch this show tonight. I should be at the bar across from the TLA for a good while getting my drink on before the show :clap:

#74

Travel safely and have fun Pei!

#75

Mike Says “Hey … I have one of those”

I Say, “Thank you for all the music throughout the years”

“Where would you like me to sign?”

“Anywhere you like”

“Can I have me pen back?”

EDIT: some photos I took with my phone…

#76

^ That is awesome! :clap:

#77

I really, really like the first two.

It would appear The Penguin was in attendance, and he enjoys shooting the Devil Horns!

#78

Looks like I was right behind you, about 8’oclock is those pictures too. Good times!

#81

^ I was more like 4-5 o clock, mostly between Mike and the right speakers. I was wearing my black OKP shirt … pretty sure I was the only Asian Girl there … and I had some glow bracelets on …

Anywho, was spotted by 2 of Moma Dave’s friends from Red Rocks … Kevin and John… they say “Hi” to all the OKP’ers they chilled with this summer (and maybe 8?) They approached me during set break to ask about the Oh Kee Pa ‘lounge’ on-line forum!

Great times!
