^Happy ending “massage” would be best
Va. Beach, and Charlotte N.C. July 99. Maybe I was let down after Hot Lanta, but I was generally unmoved by these two. Maybe I’ll download them and give em a 2nd chance. Merryweather was a step up. Camden was better. 1st night Holmdel was unfuckingbeliavable, and 2nd night sucked donkey dick. I’m saying it is very hard for the boys to string a bunch of bad shows together. Sometimes they have tried though.
I strongly disagree if not with all those shows with night 2 of Atlanta alone, sick show.
^ No it wasn’t.
YEM has home town pride 
I need a shit sandwich someone please sendspace me something dreadful
Yeah… and it’s an opinion too… frankly I’ll take most of 99 over the roxy in 93, I guess we can agree it wasn’t a catastrophic show. Man some people seem to think the quality of a show is as factual as a math problem or something.
as far as 2004 goes vegas was actually a fairly decent show minus treys voice . . . ugh sounds like drugs!!!
Sounds like way too much cocaine vapor on the vocal cords! Poor guy, instead of hating on him I feel for him, he had a HUGE problem, probably more life-threatening than any of us realize. And it’s obvious he is doing well in his recovery. As an addict myself, I respect his struggle-I mean I can’t even imagine being in a band like PHISH and being hooked on powerful PK’s and basing coke. I’m sure he just had shit thrown at him from many, many places. It’s hard enough to quit those things as it is, and that much more difficult trying to quit when you’re the frontman for Phish. Back to the topic at hand, I’d say the last week. Firstly Coventry and Hampton BLEW, Great Woods was aiiiiight, Camden rocked, and most shitty of all PHISH broke up after that week and wouldn’t play together again for over 4.5 years!!! Hard to argue with that week for me, unless you dig up some OLD pre-baby grand shows. CRACK!!!
^Yes! That’s a solid post.
… Except why do you say Hampton blew? That’s one of my favorites of all of 2004. I thought that show was great.
To play Devil’s advocate, there are only 17 shows to choose from…
runs
I have to say, I’ve been seeing lots of shows a year since '93 (the Roxy run was my first shows), and to be honest the worst week of Phish I ever saw was the final week. I heard Hampton was terrible, Great Woods left a bit to be desired, Camden was good, and Coventry was AWFUL. I’m not gonna sugar coat it, the music that was played at Coventry (albeit understandably, and excluding SOAM and a few other moments) was abysmal. The first week of summer tour in '03 was pretty unspectacular as well, particularly unspectacular even compared to other first weeks of tours. The summer, in particular, they always seemed to take a little bit to get up & going.
This may not be their best show, but I don’t believe it’s one of the worst.
I have been listening to this Great Woods theme from 04 today and oh man is it painfull
I’ve always wanted to hear that Brent meltdown. I’m totally throwing this on when I get home.
^Yeah the Maybe you know is awful, some people say “oh but its so soulful the way brents all fucked and getting through it” I say…Shitwich on toast with a side of heroin, a gallon of whiskey and a cheating wife
This Week.
