Immediate top 3 breakfast show in my career- rivaled by last night of the 4-20-05 run and maybe nothing else, but i\'d have to go back and look
people were totally into it all night, the breakfast tunes were ser and tight. call me crazy, but i think the bathtub gin was the best jam of the phish tunes, although reba almost made me cry. gladys pimp steals the night in my mind- TOTAL THROWDOWN!!!! I raged so hard I literally injured something in my left shoulder, still pain when i lift my arm up above my shoulder. Still totally worth it. My God.
Certainly it was great to have the bass player from my favorite non-actively touring band play with my favorite actively touring band, but it was even cooler to hear the story Mike told after the show about how they won the studio hours to record lawn boy in the battle of the bands when Fishman was lowered from the rafters totally naked. Fishman was supposed to take a vacuum cleaner solo over a little bass line by mike, but the vacuum cleaner was unplugged! so trey tried to save the day and unplug something and plug in the vacuum, but he unplugged the bass amp!! needless to say they won the event, and now we have lawn boy in the annals of both phish and breakfast history. i\'m down with that!
pleasure to meet weekapaug and gordo as well!!
