kicking myself for not going, by far the show of the year on paper, cant wait to hear it and get a review.
So you went to Darien Lake but passed on Hartford?
OOOOOOOHHHHHHHHH SORRY CHIP!Now I dont feel so bad after all......
probably my all time favorite show in terms of the overall experience. their was no way I was not getting in and the countless hours of life that I wasted playing Rogue Spear finally came in handy. I may have bruised a rib or three but it was sooooo worth it. definitely going to SPAC

i have no comment for last night, or for darien, and that is a good thing.

looks like stevie boy just sorry chiped himself out of any chance of being stubbed down to the front row at SPAC...any takers?
I was so happy when they played psycho killer. Phish played AMAZING and so many good songs. It was an epic first phish show..I want to go to SPAC!
did the last two nights just really happen...now that was the fire...
Ive been front row at spac newbers......and im not worried because Broseph always provides
didnt think they would be able to top the darien show but boy was i never more wrong. pretty sure trey was having more fun than anyone in the crowd last night. never thought i\'d ever see an icculus. and forget about that piper. pwned
This was the best show I\'ve seen since Camden, 7-3-2000, an all-time favorite of mine as I was on the lawn in a sick thunderstorm during Bathtub.
Last night, I was on the lawn--until Pec thankfully stubbed me down, during Forbin\'s > Mockingbird of all times--but then got to witness the rest of the show front and center from the 18th row.
What I witnessed was an outstanding performance in terms of execution, antics, and of course, song selection. First Forbin\'s > Mockingbird and I Didn\'t Know in 39 shows and also glad that I\'ve now seen the last two Icculus\' since I was at Oswego. The Icculus story was hilarious (put down your cell phones and read the book!)
If I wanted to nitpick, I could say that there wasn\'t a ton of jamming, but hey, the Piper jam was solid and they did take it out there down the stretch. Ghost jam was also good as they wasted no time in building the intensity with Trey leading the way. Slowly but surely, they are extending themselves and taking more chances.
And as if this show needed anything more, Psycho Killer? Oddly enough, that was part of a Talking Heads\' show that was played in the pre-show music, along with Beck\'s Guero.
And strangely, I\'ve now seen Catapult more times than Simple, four to three.
It is truly a pleasure to see Phish having so much fun on stage while playing well and unearthing some gems off the roster.
also shout to the kid from mass who was rocking a breakfast hat parked next to us..
I spoke to an old school Phish fan who I know and places this in his top 10 of all time.
This show was truly amazing. First set was choppy in the sense they stopped after every song. You knew that 2nd set was going to be the heat.
No disappointment to be had. For me the Piper got the show to escalate to the highest part of the atmosphere.
1st set highlights were the Forbin>Mockingbird and the Character Zero.
2nd set was the entire set but really the Ghost > Psycho Killer > Catapult > Icculus > YEM was the moment I realized that it was special.
Did anyone see the shooting star during the 2nd set? Might have been Icculus.
Thanks to SlimPickens for putting the "we are getting a ser cover" vibe out there last night.
Every night I am reminded why I love this band and why there is no better sport than Phishing.
I said it last night when it was happening that this show was an instant classic.
Glad to see others did too.
