I loved 97+ mainly because Mike was in the center spotlight. For once HE overshadowed Trey both technically and volume wise. My biggest complaint post-hiatus (besides the 9999+billion
**** up changes and notes) was the remixing at the monitors. Not only was Trey\'s new Languedoc too loud, but Mike\'s new bass was too quiet, this dropped Mike in the mix considerably. I can understand that some of the jams 97-00 were wanky, but there were some gems that I consider to be the best Phish has ever had to offer improvisationally. For instance check out Oak Mountain 99\'s YEM and Auburn Hills 99 YEM (the apocalyptic YEM).
In the end no two sets of ears are the same, you may here one thing, while I hear another.
so who else has bought tix for the toads show? i was talking to some people on PT about lily pads for this night, anyone on here interested if they are going? is there a breakfast related band playing that night?
oh my bad, i just noticed timmy tour is on mike>timmy tour, or timmy tour>mike? or how about timmy shows up grabs his guitar blows mikes mind! i\'m down for any of those senarios!
will there be another cactus sighting at Richter\'s.... um i mean BAR
<<< def. gonna be down for this one, i missed it last time NEVER again
the show starts @ 9 with grace potter opening, so her set, Ramble Dove set, what time do you think it will end? and do you think timmy will still be playing at bar?
