Just finished listening to the sit-in and I\'ll sum it up by saying, it could have been worse.

Mustang Sally - had some good jamming my bruce, trey and page
Bobby Jean - bruce\'s voice sounded horrible; missed the sax solo at the end
Glory Days - this was actually a cool version w/ trey\'s solo.  The only thing that didn\'t sound right to me was Fish\'s drums. Maybe he wasn\'t using the bass drum like Max does, I don\'t know.

All in all, 3 songs, about 20 minutes.  It sounds like everyone was having fun.  What was the crowds reaction?

Crowd reaction= mixed.  Personally, I loved it.  Trey\'s introduction of Bruce was great, nice story, never seen Trey talk so much on stage.

I really enjoyed Bobby Jean.  I haven\'t heard that song in probably 22 years, but I wore that tape out back in 1985 so amazingly the song came right back to me and I was able to identify it before the chorus.

Glory Days was the highlight of my Bonnaroo.  3rd Verse of that song are song of my favorite lyrics ever. Seeing Bruce and Trey face to face shredding on stage was surreal in the best possible way.
A man who has seen the things I have seen,
experienced the loss and pain I have experienced,
I transcend race, hombre.

Thanks...


anybody else getting a couple seconds of dead air after each song for a couple of the links that were posted? Just curious if it\'s just me doing something wrong when putting them on cd or if that is how the songs were mixed/tracked/whatever you want to call it

My guess is that they are mp3s and when you put mp3s to cd, it puts in the song gap unless you change your settings to remove those.  But I could be wrong.

His comment is indeed for real. I was not all that excited for this at first but the Trey and Bruce face to face shredding sold me on it. It was actually pretty cool to see.

deblock, seriously, does ANYTHING make you happy anymore?!?!

you\'re a phish fan, and bruce is the greatest human to ever walk the earth to you. how could you not be happy about a sit-in?!

COME ON.

all the 6 of us were talking about was how thrilled you would be about it. i know i would be if i were you.

i\'m convinced after reading your comments about the bb king sit-in, and the bruce sit-in, that you\'re just upset that you weren\'t there to see it, and because of that, you will say it wasn\'t that great.

the bb king sit-in was one of the worst things i\'ve ever witnessed. he sat in a chair on stage for 40 minutes and watched trey play guitar. he played a few notes here and there, but wouldn\'t jam with trey, wouldn\'t trade licks with him, nothing. and that went on for 40 uncomfortable minutes. if you want to call that great, i can only deduce that you\'re doing so because you were actually there and you want to give it more legs than it actually had. it sucked.

we hung out way in the back for phish on sunday, but when bruce was announced by trey (mind you, i cooked/ate furing half his set the night before, and slept through the other half), i ran up. and i agree with brian to a point - for me, glory days was the highlight of phish\'s show on sunday. it was awesome. you have no idea. if you could have seen the smile that was on trey\'s face, ear to ear the entire time bruce was up there, you would have some sort of an idea. they were having a blast. and people loved it. i thought it was one of the better phish sit-ins i have ever witnessed. it was a lot of fun.

only thing i didn\'t like was bruce referring to page as "mr. keyboard player". oof.
