skye, 1. my post wasn\'t just directed at you and 2. it wasn\'t meant to pick a fight. wasn\'t even really trying to argue there, so sorry for a misunderstanding or whatever.

i just found it funny to read people complaining here (and elsewhere) over something as minute as bouncing round the room being a reason to dismiss a show entirely. that being said, i forgot how annoying discussing phish on the internet is. so i\'m pretty much done here lol.

sorry on my end too.  i was being a tad hypersensitive. its all good.

And I agree, discussing/debating phish on the internet, in person, or just in general can be seriously excruciating.  two people can hear the same thing and describe it 10 different ways.

2nd row for night two...i must say, after being within 5 rows center for 3 shows now, I almost prefer being a little further back.  OK, the first time was AMAZING because its a whole new ballgame and incredible to see the band up close.  But honestly, I have a big problem with a lot of the people who are in the first few rows.  Its a mix of some lucky fans who got good tickets in the lottery, who i dont mind at all. but there are also a lot of "veterans" for lack of a better term who have obviously been up front for dozens if not more shows and are very snobby, self-entitled, and some just plain mean.  Yeah, we all know antelope greg and his crackhead buddy (they were there as usual), but theres a lot of others and just this general bad vibe I get at times in the front.  Plus, there are a lot of people (usually women), who try to use their friends and connections to force their way into the front and give people who paid for the seats much less room to move.  Kinda irked me, especially at this show.

:lol:

from the guy who\'s somehow always in front of me.. no matter if I get stubbed down, fake tix, or even for real ser near front tix.

I\'m okay with the lawn ;)

Saturday\'s show is sounding good in my headphones right now... that\'s what I like to hear. Hope they keep bringing that good energy.

Based on first listen, I prefer night one as a whole to night 2...

Night 1 - Set 1 completely flowed and I didn\'t really have any moments of "okay, get on with it already..."  Set 2 was pretty much that way until the beginning of Crosseyed & Painless (the jam was sweet, but the vocal portion of it just bores me / don\'t really like TH)...

Night 2 - Set 1 was pretty good... Set 2 didn\'t really do it for me until Hood and on...

I haven\'t listened to Night 3, but based on setlist alone, it looks pretty sweet...

SO Im in a little bit of a last minute bind.

Me and my buddies have 4 lawns for Darien, but it doesn\'t look like we are going to be able to make it. We are definietly going to hit up Mansfield but don;t have tickets yet. I figured I\'d see if anyone here had extras, was looking to trade for Darien, or if anyone wants to buy the darien lawns for a discounted price.

Im afraid those tix are going to go unused and I would rather buy a mansfield ticket off of one of you guys rather than some scalper on stubhub. I would go get them up there but I have work til 430 so I wont be getting up there til later....

Any ideas?

If you go to a show expecting 1994, you deserve to get the w0ok beaten out of you.


\'94 is for tourists. Give me some August \'93.


The setlists from the last few years just seem too random to me. The one thing I really enjoyed from the early to mid 90\'s shows was the effort they placed on writing setlists. The way they play a show now is basically \'what haven\'t we played lately?\' and Possum. I feel like that really kills the flow of sets when they\'re just playing whatever pops into their head. Overall, their sound has been peaking the last couple tours which is great. I\'m just over paying $70 for them. Canandaigua sucked a bag a D\'s last Summer and as much as I\'d like to go I don\'t think I can afford Watkins Glen with the wedding in a few months.

How much are fees?  Don\'t they usually inflate ticket prices by another 25-50% for a typical seat?  Face value means nothing when there is so much loaded onto a ticket.

First off, i will begin by saying:  There were *A LOT* of open seats.  every where. My row.  Half full.  People moved up into it.  Looked back at lawn.  it was packed.  Maybe has something to do with the "tier pricing" or something to do with the scalpers.  Or people didn\'t feel like driving to jersey in a storm.  you decide.

As for the music, first set, happy to hear first tube played and then my excitement started to dwindle. I actually took a pee break in the middle of heavy things cause i loathe heavy things and basically the farmhouse album is my *least* favorite.   Came back in the middle of Gotta Jibboo and then loved every minute of the rest of the first set.  Danced my little heart out.  Extremely happy to hear Axila-Split Open and Melt - Suzy Greenberg.  

Second set opened with Tweezer during a lightning-thunderstorm.  Poured so hard that the water sprayed us in the seats.  My back was soaked. Actually felt good.  So i can\'t complain.  Led Zeppelin cover of No Quarter (even though I complained about covers before), I really enjoyed.  Overall, Second set was very good.  I won\'t say excellent.  But it was good.  Maybe *just maybe* one of the better sets so far of the tour.  Probably a close second to what I heard of Saturday night Bethel.  

As for the entire show, great show.  greatest show? no.  All in all, fantastic time.  Love meeting "new" friends.  Dancing around.  I definitely felt 19 again at one point.    Very disappointed this was my one and only show of the summer.

look who turns into a fluffer when they see a show as opposed to just the setlist?  obviously it wasn\'t the best ever, its 2011.

Heavy Things in the 1st set = B- setlist at best.
