^ Oh don’t even get me started about that show.

I could have gone as well. :’(

I still remember my friend calling to tell me about it.
How they made it a G.A. show and everything.
The place wasn’t even 1/2 full and the boys gave all the tour kidz a nice treat. It was pretty much all tour kids at that show.

Uhg. I’m bummed now.

#463

At least you guys got to see the shows you did!! I’d kill to even be at a mediocre Phish show…

#464

You’d take the life of another human being to hop in a time machine and witness 2/18/03? Interesting.

this show was a big eye opener for me. i had been seeing mmw for a couple years prior to this but with the phish hiatus in effect i was now able to get out and see other bands more frequently. something happened in the president’s hall this night that i’ll never be able to explain. i left this show in awe not sure what i had just experienced. lots of hendrix songs. i dont think there were more than 80 people there either. caught them again on 12/01 (Albany, NY w/ Trey appearance) and 12/02 (Geneva, NY) and eventhough those shows were well played and a lot of fun they just didnt compare to this intimate show.

#466

^um so yeah, the thread is called today in phistory.

but, the setlist with hendrix tunes does look intriguing

#467

yeah i know but there hasnt been much activity in this thread this past month so i figured id throw something random in here. im surprised no one has posted this run of excellent shows. 11/02 and 11/03 always get overlooked because 11/04 is so highly regarded and traded. all great shows in my mind.

It’s been a while, but:

ahhhhhh… that felt good.

#480

OK.

Anyway…

This show contains 3 versions of songs that are firmly in my top-10 ever played. “Possum,” “Bathtub Gin,” and “Harry Hood.” I especially love the ending of “Hood,” as it peaks nicely (as all “Hood’s” should. And FWIW, I STILL cannot hear the “Rock and Roll” tease in “Gin.”
