Reliving some prime moments
The Brady Bunch in Antelope and oye como va\' in YEM 8/28/93 Greek Theatre Mike played w/ opener J.J.Cale.
The Harry Hood @ The Spokane Opera House in \'95(remember The Climb w/ no amplification except for the natural acoustics of the Opera House? CHILLS!)
or SDSU Montezuma Hall in \'94 Some Fog to go w/ your Strobes.(Best friend\'s Bachelor Party too!)
DMB opening for Phish in \'94 not once but twice(this is when they were a good band)
Guyute in \'94 pick one
Singing Happy B-Day w/ everyone in Vegas \'00
and who can forget Trey on rollerskates in Arcata \'91?
WOW I am really gonna miss them more than I thought!
so who thinks the last stop of the summer tour will sell out, if they do I am just going to go without a ticket and see what happens. I am sure their is going to be alot of people, who knows they probably will knock down the gates and have a huge ass party.
I got an idea how\'s about you BUY a ticket now, BEFORE they sell out and not have to deal with that scenario...which in reality can put some peoples lives in danger...didn\'t anybody learn anything from the \'95 Dead tour. The worst thing Phish could have done was make this announcement prior to tour...I will never see the thinking behind that??? I hope it doesn\'t happen but I feel that this tour there will be so many problems, it might ruin the memories everyone has for a long time!!!

Yes I was wondering about this myself... particularly because it\'s not like they were going to have to worry about poor attendance at shows prior to making the announcement. On the other hand though, I suppose there will be people at Coventry now who wouldn\'t have been there otherwise, who would have been mighty sad if Phish had been done without them getting to see \'em "one last time."
Yeah but the madness that will accompany this LAST show is going to be severe. From the kids that are going to see them just so they can say they did to the folks that will be in despair that this is it to the people who are there to just rage it up one last time w/ their favorite band it will be veddy scary IMO
So Joc u gonna be @ the 9 show also? I sure am gonna try to make this one.

I was actually thinking of doing so but my new job situation may not allow that much time off. I may have to choose one or the other and in that case unless the guys are playin\' more than once @ Yasgur\'s it will have to be the 9. I need more than one show to justify the cost to myself ya know?

Hop in the van and take the ride from yasgurs to the other place in NY they\'re playin the next night (name of festival is a blank right now but it\'s listed on thebreakfast.net)
3 fests in a row! How am I gonna pay for that? There are some great acts though. Secluded Forest looks Ser and then Recipe campout? I am gonna have to think hard abt this one.
supposedly this was written by phil lesh, but who knows.. anyways, it\'s beautiful:
As of today, I am strangely detached from the reality
of the news. But I want to pass something along for
those who may need it: the ability to feel what I
attempt to describe below in the final sentences of
this writing - if indeed, you are one of the fortunate
and can feel it - will never leave, and will never
become any less vivid.
I have a different persective than many of you - what
is happening to you today happend to me, in a
different form, in August of 1995, when Jerry died.
The pain subsides, new routines and musical fixes are
found, some family stays with you and some does not -
but I am here to tell you that the detail never
leaves. On most Phish nights, when the lights dimmed,
I always had my eyes closed, and was again watching
Jerry walk out. Those stolen moments were never sad,
but always ecstatic for me. The energy, and the
passion never fade. The love never dims. The lessons
become clearer, and the music even sweeter. You\'ll
see. In decades to come, the little trick I try to use
below, at the end of this self indulgence, will work
just as well . . .
Regarding Phish: You\'ve gotten what you paid for. And
you got off cheap.
Regardless of how much you paid - to Phish Inc.
directly, to the scene, in your relationships, with
your health or soul - you\'re in on the bargain of the
century. You bought the stock at .01 a share, and have
sold it at 1,000.00 per. Perhaps you don\'t know this .
. .
Now, the incidental fringe benefits are not to be
overlooked, nor disrespected: friends, lovers,
spouses, self-knowledge, expanded compassion, honed
capitalist skills, an amazing cd collection, travel,
adversity defeats and victories, maturation, blessed
emotional retarding to the joyous child-like levels,
and of course, lots and lots and lots of really
freakin\' amazing music.
But. Allow me to remind you of the Great Intangible.
Of the Priceless Gift that you perhaps weren\'t even
aware you\'d received - of the Holy (in all that that
word evokes for you) Unarticulable: The Magic.
I cannot describe it. I cannot relate it to a
particular show, or to my or your favorite YEM or Tube
or Divided Sky. It is beyond definition, beyond grasp,
beyond description, and beyond value. But not - never
ever ever - beyond perception. Here it is:
It is preceeded by that moment, as you wait for the
lights to go down - you know it will be any second
now, and its killing you in the bestest possible way,
as if you were 6 years old at 5am on Christmas Morn -
and the earthly realm and its horribly heavy (and
light) luggage are about to melt away, completely. In
what surely is the most tremendous understatement in
the history of human language, you consciously or
unconsciously feel and think: "All is right. There is
no where in the universe I would rather be right now."
Then, the Great Inarticulable - you can hear it RIGHT
NOW, as loud as if you were in the moment, as real as
its ever been, capable of literally raising the hair
on the back of your neck, and hardening your nipples,
at *this very second*. See if you got what you paid
for all these years, and then some. Right now, quiet
your head for a second, close your eyes, and imagine:
The lights go down. The crowds roars, to the point of
physical and aural immersion, and the energy - The
Magic - fills your very DNA.
Did you hear it? If you\'re one of the lucky ones, The
Magic resonates so clearly in memory that it is as
real for you at your desk right now that it ever was
in any venue you\'ve visited. And if so, you got so
much more than you ever bargained for. Congratulations
on your fine, fine, unintended purchase. It carries a
lifetime satisfaction guaranteed warranty.
Grateful,
-p.
