I figured, but I also figured no one would understand my post 
I’m always psyched to see new people break into the band. The look on one’s face at their first show is always priceless once they “get it”. So Weekapat, enjoy. Also, try to learn to spell a bit better. Read more and take the time to look up words you’re not sure of.
wow, cool to see this thread again i apologize for not replying after the shows. Kinda lost touch with this board but good to be back.
Here goes… I actually didnt make it to the roo’ shows ended up selling my ticket because i didnt have anyone to go with. I did however make it to both Alpine shows and they were my favorite shows of summer from any band! The first night of Alpine was my very first phish show and a great one at that.
I recall driving up to saturday with my brother with extreame excitement of my first show ever,the lot was just as i rembered it great people great vibes hell of a party. I for one only had a few beers as i wanted to reall remeber and cheerish this show as much as i could. We had lawn section seats wich of course werent as nice a the pavs. but i was just happy to hear it and be in the venue.
From the second we left our house i was calling a Runaway Jim opener but was very plesently surprised with the PYITY opener i really could care less what they opened with i was finally seeing PHISH! Funny they then jumped into Jim right after the fact. From start to finish a great first set insued Stash, Bathtub, Antelope im sure you guys know this was a great show. Was really cool venue to see a sun set at as well and made for a cool set break. Next set releativly slow start with Waves opener but Sample picked it up and then Maze followed with the epic glowstick war really cool stuff. A comical Makisupa got me goin, Trey can be quite comical 
The rest of the set was great a funky Ghost a YEM, NICU what a great show oh and the Hendrix cover of Fire encore. What a great night of music and still is the most played show from my 2009 shows! Had a great time but the only bummer was driving back to chicago afterward. But the thought that i will be seeing Phish again tommarrow kept me happy as hell also i just saw my first Phish show i have waited 5 years for whooo!!!
Night 2 we headed out to Alpine in the afternoon but this thime we knew of quite a few people meeting with us, unlike last night was just me and my brother(honestly didnt mind who i was with). Its always fun meeting up with peeps at shows and also knowing i had somewhere to stay relitively close to Alpine lead me to party slightly harder this night. Not too hard though this was agian a show i wanted to remeber. The lot was just as we left it the night before great party and such cool people there. The anticipation builds…
Got quite the funky opener Brother, and this was the tell tale of some old rare songs hat continued that night. Trey made a shout out to some guy that was holding a sign that said Funky Bitch and they played his request, cool as hell. Divided Sky was clearly the improv highlight, and they seemed to play it as the sun was setting very very intresing. Was very surprized with the rare chocies that night The Horse>Slient in the Morning>MWSIY>Avenue Malkanu>MWYSIY was awesome. Crosseyed and Painless coulnt have been a better opener IMO and then one of my favs Down with Disease. This particular Piper that was played is i think my favorite jam i heard all 09 its just sooo fluid almost sounds like its from 95-98 era. Slave to the Traffic Light i feel i have to mention as that was always one of my fav tunes very cool version toboot! And then of course that Frankenstine with trey on that loony guitar with 5 necks or somthing and page on keytar was priceless.
Overall a hell of an introduction to live Phish and it was a long time coming (5years) I did end up seeing a few more midwest shows…Chicago and second night of Cinci reviews later. thanks for reading if you read it i apreciate it alot very excited to see Phish in 2010 and very excited to be back on the board!
