Phish in 2009

[Mamalakabubadaya]

great to see so many people last night. sorry i missed some of you guys.

i was honestly a little disappointed with the first set, however, second set was quite satisfying. totally didn\'t expect to hear a possom after it had just been played in jones beach. fluffhead = wonderful. loved the contact/julius encore.

cops in mansfield fucking suck.

are they fucking serious right now?!

really wishing i went tonight.. looking FAR superior to last night.

:that:
switched my camden for a great woods due to getting a real job and not wanting to show up to work all wook-like in the morning. wish i was down there! ugh.

Amazing week on tour (w/ a few work days mixed in too)

Really a full spectrum of experiences from the Space-Bus to getting soaked at Jones Beach to finally getting that ideal lot day up at Mansfield.  

Musically I don\'t really know what else I can ask for.  They played better than I expected and got 4 shows w/ a lot of diversity.  Great to hear the old favorites and there is a lot of potential with some of the new songs (Fenway TTE and JB2 Ocelot to name a couple...really really like Ocelot).  

Jones Beach night 3 was my favorite show, but again I liked how the 4 shows I saw really complemented another...especially how Mansfield complemented JB 2 and 3.  I can see how if Great Woods was your only show you might be dissapointed, but I thought it was great.

It\'s unbelievable how many people I got to see and hang with this weekend.  A lot of faces that I don\'t get to see on a regular basis.  I feel priviledged that Phish is a part of my life and by extension has lead to a lot of great friendships and relationships.  Thanks again to everyone who made this week what it was

Cheers.

one of my closest friends took the family (wife 3 kids). He ws bitching about cost and he was still pissed about the last fest. I had been asking him if he was going to go (he is in philly). So I asked him this morning and he went.

He was able to get a few kickdowns in the lot so he and the family could see the show. They had a blast. He said all things considered the lot was mellow but a really killer show.

Coincidentally when i woke up yesterday I looked out my window only to see 4 phreaks loading their cooler. I ran to the stereo loaded up a 1998 YEM and cranked it. figured I would send them on their way to camden in style.

Glad everyone is having a good time with Phish on tour.

the encore from last night looks really sweet...

new song, bouncin, antelope, tweeprise :thumbsup:

everyone had to be thinking show was over during bouncin then went nuts when they busted into lope and tweeprise is the ultimate end to any phish show imo

[NickNels]

only the n00bs.  Especially considering they played Tweezer in the second set.

[Klout]

maybe people were expecting the tweeprize but I doubt many folks called that lope

Although it\'s been a rare occurance in the recent past, I think that it would be naive to assume that you are going to get a Tweeprise whenever Tweezer is played.  Below are examples of show where that was the case.  I think a better argument would be that in the 20+ time they\'ve played Bouncin\' during the encores, it was never the last encore...

Yoda, from where are you mining all this data?

[antbach]

What a great week (8 days, whichever). To sum up with one of my awesome reviews thus far:

I have come to the following conclusion after 6 Phish shows in 8 days:

I am completely out of shape, sweat way too much (last night was 4 times as bad as Tuesday, ask DP how it was Tuesday), love the rain and need to invest in a pair of sneakers (blisters forming on the bottom of both my feet, not fun).

With all of the above stated, I have come to the following conclusions about the upcoming week:

I am very thankful the Knoxville show is indoors (please have AC, please please please). My over/under on the amount of times I collapse due to heat exhaustion: 6.5. My over/under on pounds lost due to sweat and the workout of walking around/dancing/etc: 33.4. "Will Ant be able to walk next Monday evening and/or Tuesday morning?" YES (+320) NO (-245). I am personally screwed, but I do not care whatsoever.

The International House of ZZYZX is a great place for Phishtistics.

only went to jones beach day 3 and mansfield, but i think the third show at jones beach was def the sickest night thus far. however camden last night looks pretty good, im gonna have to listen to it.

I must say cops were f-in rediculous at both venues, little disheartening.

great phish though, almost forgot how much i love that band

[Yoda]

Is it that the cops are doing their jobs and busting people for doing things that they let go in the past or are they being exceptionally rough?

[weekapaug19]

only saw 1 arrest at JB after the show....nothing at GW
