I can get on board with that line of thinking. You know, actually, I was thinking that they should have kept “Fluffhead” a little rarer in 2009 than it was.
I think there should always be the ONE song that is really rare and everyone is chasing (of course, for me, it’s Mike’s or Reba 
).
::stilllll waiting… for Reba::
Exactly.
Still would like a Twist, too.
kthanks.
History 4 me. 1992-2000 2 Fluff’s. 2009 3 Fluff’s.
It’s a real cornerstone to this group of musicians’ foundation that today’s jugernaut still stands. As much as people want 1997 to be “The Year” (and maybe it was) It was the early compositions that it’sfan base It’s this formative song that raised the banner to herald in the return of The Phish. It meant this is us exposed and raw. For them to come back that way was a signal. To the hidden, the skeptical, and the too old. It said “I know what you need and I got it right here buddy”. I remember joking around before Hampton one night. We were talking about a big group cry or sigh in the event of a Fluff opener. Soon it was over and throwing Glow Worms instead of glow sticks was the new order of the eve.
The tension (it was there with the excitement) of March 6, 2009 was enormous. I was nervous for some reason. I had questions. Are they what I remember? Will it be great? Is this really happening? For them to nail Fluff on the 1st play (despite the glowstick Trey took to the shoulder) Answered all those questions and more. I don’t see any other song this year coming close to that.
The nice jamming from other songs in the tourney should wait until 2010 is in the books. We all know that next years tournament will be be a dogfight 
Some crazy shit should make 2009’s type 2 and Cow look like this years type 1. Well you get my point.
I must have been more effed up than I thought… I could have sworn I saw you at Deer Creek this year.
Oops. Christ.
Not sure why I typed that.
Maybe I meant “Melt the Guns” or some shit.
By “this year”, I meant last year as well.
Well, naturally.
Don’t forget that this Ghost was pure HOSE as well!
Fluffhead is down!!
this.
is.
sum.
boo
shit.
justice is being served…theres no way the energy before and after hampton fluff makes it better than ghost…the bracket buster is for best played song and in my opinion most of this years ghosts and most of this years fluffheads were better than hampton fluffhead…lets not forget they could have played waste to open hampton and there still would have been a rettttarded amount of energy or ac/dc bag haha cuz people wouldnt know how many times it would eventually open up 09 shows…all im saying is that this fluffhead is a little bitt fluff’dhead and this albany ghost was voted in for being better than hartford ghost and asheville and miami ghost…this ghost is the real deal…no fluffing…it took till november 28 to finally hit the big ghost and it definitly takes the cake on pfffft hampton fluff’d
FluffEPIChead, hampton.
BALLS! That’s for you Ryan!! Does it count now pal??
I love you~
Someone can’t handle their dose… of reality! 
Did I miss something in the rules that said this?
^ I asked myself the same thing.
It was just…too epic.
I remember calling the Fluff opener, without really thinking it would REALLY happen.
Then I got a text from a friend who was there that said:
Phish 2009 first year back opener: Fluffhead
I flipped!
When I went back and listened to it, it was nailed, like I knew they would do it!
There were better Fluffheads in '09. I think there were one or two better Ghost’s, too.
But Fluff’d has to take the cake. Like lawnboy said, it was a signal. A very logical signal for things to come…
