I didn\'t say Page was gonna play all the shows :P
But yeah he\'ll be at the next one. I just talked on the phone for a while. Because like all Phish fans of course I am among their best friends... I also saw their 1st show ever when I was like 5 years old or something ;) I also chilled with Jerry Garcia\'s ghost today and convinced him to head over for a sit in.
Y\'all should def head out for this. Wish I could make it!

i\'m seeing them wed. night in Appleton :) WOOHOO hopin\' for Vera St. and Escher\'s complete and mooboo>rufus>mooboo , late and great, see the light (verted ... hee hee) w/ jordan and tim singing in proper spots, chase, puppetry, love lake & SUNDANCE! Geez i might be off base but Wisc. usually gets a hot show.
I saw one WI show. at the Terrace in \'07 and it was great.
this is where i regret to inform you that Jordan will not be a part of this run. Just Tim, Chris and Adrian. But it should be great nonetheless. hope you have a blast either way. I know a few people going and it should be a pretty rowdy time.
After the last Aberdeen show I talked to Chris and he mentioned how he was digging the shows on that tour that were just the 3 piece so I guess we\'ll see whats in store come Saturday in Aberdeen.
I think that Page going on this tour would kick some serious ass....doubt its happening though...I dont see anything on Archive.org from this stretch yet....is anyone taping these shows?

Leith-This is the best thread you ever started, happy pills today?
Nah just thourghly impressed with the level of playing/singing recently and had been hearing it in small bits but in say the last couple months **** has been off the hook more than ever.
I have decided to forgo thinking about the band\'s future as it\'s clear where that leads me and am currently just enjoying what they are throwing down and running with that thus this thread.
Cheers to that!!
& trust me, we all want \'em to get the recognition they deserve as musicians so they could get out to the west coast to bring you some live music in your hometown...
Speaking of Page, I think his keyboard playing of late has been stellar.
Yeah, cheers to that as well!

Having someone like Page sit in for a show is just the kind of thing that could start a chain reaction of good things. Let\'s hope.

**** I better get out to see some more shows... Zuke you\'re catching up with me bro! :P
-
i heard zombie MJ will be there too. good times
-
It\'s true. Page and Dangle have been good friends for years. I think Page was gonna be out that way anyway and Chris made some calls.
confirmed. Wish I could be there!
-
sorry I just can\'t believe that for a sec ... I\'d like to but I can\'t get my head there
-
He may not be going but from what I\'ve heard you might see Page McConnell sit in.... apparently he listened to the Harper\'s show and was pretty impressed.
-
thats fine but I think you\'ll agree that the layering and texture (?) is better when one person is singing one part and then a different voice comes in for the refrain or a combination of voices come in ... this is better than just one person singing ... right ... ?
-
I prefer Tim\'s vocals on Mayfly. Jordan def on many of the songs, but Mayfly is right up Tim\'s alley.
-
yes I have heard Chris sing OE (toad\'s 5/16/09) and it sounds good but could he do No Regret or Dim. 5 ? don\'t get me wrong I would never suggest they employ someone soley for their Voice.
WOW my stomach just dropped ... no quartet
I guess it is better to find out now than later ... thanks for the info

... does anyone know why in the world Jordan is not singing \'jordan songs\' such as Buquebus (post fenway show) and May Fly Disarray (5/22/09). Whats the deal... ?... didn\'t he write / co-write these songs!
Jordan sang Mayfly on the boston boat cruise last week. he\'s building his repetoire back up.
.. nothing to be done about the highs.
have you heard Chris sing Overexposure? he does a good job filling the role, imo.
-
... I was originally turned onto TPB in \'04 by the awesome vocals. ron - high / jordan- low / tim - midrange . of course the music didn\'t hurt my ears at all but I love singing ... it\'s what makes them unique more than anything else .. IMO ... Jordan must sing his parts ... nothing to be done about the highs.
-
I think it has to do with the fact that when Jordan left the band, Tim and Adrian split the vocals (more Tim). I think that the band is comfortable with the way the songs are now, but you\'ll probably see some of the vocals shift back to Jordan. I don\'t think that you\'ll see them completely go back to him...

I wasn\'t at this past Toads show--but the MP3 player is loaded up for the ride to work this morning--but I did make the one before. And the boys were on fire. I am still floored by the way the four of them toss stuff back and forth and almost sense where things are going.
-
well said leith
-
very high quality playing going down presently.
i recommend we all dwell on it.
-
I haven\'t even listened to the fourth of July show yet, but I knew what you were gonna say dude. Breakfast is on crazy fire these days. Total sickness.
Saving the 4th show for being bored @ work tomorrow.
-
ridiculously awesome or what?
Really.
The last few shows I have listened to have showcased some of the most inventive playing in quite a long while.
Vocally they sound better than ever of course still an acquired taste but more palpable to the non initiate than before.
Yeah they may be only playing half their songs but their musical skill repertoire is on full display.
Fully aware of each other in every song and pushing each other like crazy!
Taking songs to new levels is an understatement.
I know I have heard personal best ever\'s in the last few months that I have no doubt will be surpassed soon enough the way these guys are locked in on stage.
Oh and btw this 4th of July Toad\'s show I\'m listening to is the sickness!
