Phish, Fenway.

Awesome show. Nothing Spacey Jammed out or anything.. Mike at the end of YEM great shit. Disease was considerably shorter and tighter. Bathtub Gin and Bowie were the mothers milk as well. good shit there. the new songs were good. TTE is a little long and i heard it off myspace/bso show… so knew what to semi expect there.. iiwii.. anyway, Tweezer into Light was Awesome. 3 song encore was nice, even though im semi-over hearing GTBT, feel like it follows me… My buddy back home plays Curtis Lowe on acoustic so was pumped to hear that, and sent him a txt.. It was all about the Second Set to me.. first set was good.. but the whole thing felt like an afternoon show separate from an evening/night show.. Loved the spot in Sample in the Jar when it was realized completely that the rain/clouds were leaving (it downpour’d right before the Anthem/Play Ball and many people missed it entirely–it was still raining when they sung that actually)… so after that, and during Sample especially.. the sky opened up and it was on from then on out… Our seats were fantastic.. at a baseball game it would have been 7 rows from the bottom, closer to pesky pole than first base.. fishman/mike side.. but basically dead on.. i have a few decent pics that im working on getting up… awesome awesome show..

Here’s a couple short clips I recorded.

Hit the Road Time

It’s just about time to take the first bms tour of the year with this morning being the kick start. I’m off to Buffalo to visit my sister and then on to Holley to see the folks and watch the dog whimper over the new cat. Then tommorrow it will be time to witness the nuptials of Sir Thomas Stanton and Jamie Vendetti of Holley High School fame. Then onward to Oneonta for a Halloween dose of Rezi and a visit to the Oneonter boys. Then come Monday it will be high time to get back Jack to Michigan in time to enter my swing vote in Tuesday’s election. Yee-haw skadoodle. Maybe I’ll check in from the road. Adios.
