#34

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

#40

Did I miss something in the rules that said this?

#41

^ I asked myself the same thing.

#42

:smiley:

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…

:wtf:

:smiling_imp:

#44

I nailed yer girlfriend. :wave:

#45

I think about 95% of the arguments in the thread are legit. It’s a really tough one.

I went with Ghost because I was in Albany and completely blown away. Unfortunately, I was not at the Hampton show to compare. I think there are different types of energy at shows and I can say that the energy during the -7>Ghost was some pretty powerful stuff and it was almost 9 months after their first show back. That powerful energy came from the intricate 10th dimension type jamming the band produced that night, not just because they walked onstage and played notes.

#46

Honestly, I think the -7>Ghost is overrated. It gets way to much hype just because it is a 40 minute jam in a year of 10-15 minute jams. I much prefer the Miami Ghost, which all things considered is probably the Jam of the Year: It is the bands best effort in the concise jamming style of 2009.

#47

You know, I’m starting to agree with this. I was at Albany, and in the moment those jams were just incredible, but going back and listening, I do prefer the Miami Ghost, which I was also in attendance for. For whatever reason though, Albany felt more special at the time. I think it was because there was a true sense of risk-taking at Albany. The Miami ghost is more concise and easier to listen to on tape, but I felt it was less risky.

I thought I was it…looks like we got one hell of a tiebreaker here!

I also prefer the Miami Ghost (ALS teases included). That, and the fact that it went into NO2…
