megaupload of JB1 was giving me issues -- it is on the mediafire list

wow... what a blast last night... a lot of repeats from the Greek run... a few were better there, a few here.
set 1
fluffhead was a great warm up... nothing ground breaking
funky bitch really got the night rolling and straight through to possom straight rocked - or was super funky - which ever you would guess for the song!
wolfmans, walkaway and wilson were the first set big winners for me.
set II - this is where the real highlights lived...
Lengthwise!!!! really!!??!? nice!!!
> Maze. opening had mike pounding the bass and it went from there...
haley\'s --- i would rather it not be a 4.2 show type of song but a really big 12 - 16. i hope they stick it on a shelf and don\'t let that song become a throw away.
> mike\'s was fun, fairly standard
> simple went out there. they got weird from here!!!
> # Line i can here where this would work amazingly... and for the most part it did, except that the first minute or so of this song is the biggest buzz kill ever. they don\'t play it with chutzpah and it just lets the energy drop from the room - that said i love the rest of the song, the jam went right back into the conversation and it fit great.
> Caspian i like how they went with something very different in the mikes simple backwards down the prince rock n roll groove. it was good, fit well, exploratory, but at this point i think i needed water from dancing too hard... which is good b/c
Rock & Roll > Weekapaug were big and very funky.
> loving cup was a solid rock show finish.
encore....
show of life --- i like the song, i like where it goes... it is a set opener, not an encore on a pure energy night. like #line getting to the song lets the energy out of the room. jam was solid
golgi as always was a raging dance party finish. perfect. love this tune
this was a very fun show! set ii had much better segues than what i expect from phish. it is really nice to see how they progress in terms of re-gelling as a band from the start of a leg to the end. they are def getting there. they will benefit from both a fall tour and a winter tour. the energy kept inside a room will be explosive!
can\'t wait for tonight!
