Phishin\' in Vegas
« on: »
By now you all know that besides the Thurs. show, Phish THREW DOWN HAARRRRD!!!! Friday was one of the best shows I have seen in @ least 5-7 years and the first set of that show was one of the best sets of music I have ever heard from ANY band.

I just want to quickly summerize as i need sleep,I will be postin\' more later.
OK Phish still has what it takes.When Trey decides to play watch the **** out!!!
Fenton Williams did a horrible job Thurs. great job Fri.  decent job Sat.
 UM is no Breakfast and I will never again waste my $$$ on that band.
See Jennifer Hartswick\'s Band if u get a chance lots o\' fun!!!
Wanna see a funny Gray? TEQUILA
Hey Todd!  Where\'s Frank?
Steve great meeting u and I look forward to doing Vegas up again.

I don\'t know who or what to believe, heh, I have never heard/read so many mixed reviews of Phish shows before, it\'s kinda amazing how some people thought it was phenomenal, others thought it was terrible, and others though it was good but average at best. From what I\'ve heard Thursday was lousy, and most blame it on Fenton, stating that the band was trying to play with him, rather than him doing his thing with the band (not sure if that makes sense).  Friday, most people agree with ya Leith, it was a great show. Others, ya know. . . those people who can never be staisfied, said it was good, but not great. And Saturday\'s average review was that it was better than Thursday, but still pretty weak.

True True. This thread will most likely be a reminiscing thread amongst the ones there.
 So anyone heard from Mr. MIA? I left a msg on his phone.

 How many yards of Margaritas can someone drink in a weekend?
 Ask Gray.
Any advice about travelling around Vegas?
 Yeah, Stay Pimp!
So I\'m staying on the Strip. How do I get to the Rio?
 DON\'T!!
Phish was alot of fun and I am stating here and now I will not bash that band any longer. If they play shitty damn. Just know that when it does happen make the nxt show \'cause they will make it up to ya.
CK was missed in a big way but I must say that Fenton had some very good looks and if he knew the music better,I believe he would not have made the glaring mistakes he did. It just confirmed my belief that lighting @ a show has to be smooth. The LD MUST know the music as well as the musicians themselves to create a seemless performance.

Dude know this. I have seen this band for over a decade. From small clubs to arenas. I only know what i have seen/heard and did see/hear in Vegas.
Thurs. was not Fenton\'s fault. The band had no flow, Trey seemed WASTED and played horribly in the 1st set. Actually the last 1/2 of set 1 was not bad and the 2nd set was actually pretty good musically but without CK some things were disjointed.  You have to understand CK helps this band in so many ways. From grabbing their attention when a jam has gone awry to adding that xtra PUNCH to a song that Fenton just did not do.

I heard from Mr. MIA a little while ago. All is good with him. Haven\'t heard from Frank though!!! He still might be looking for blue A5, either that or he is on Cops.

Well **** if they bailed I\'m hocking their **** for a plane ticket.
Then there\'s this classic moment.
Me:"Hey why are we walking?"
 Gray: "Because Fred\'s passed out"
Me:" Dude why didn\'t you get his keys?"
Gray and Todd: "Oh ****. Why didn\'t we?"

Thanx man. We can only hope. :)

 Remember the Buquebus jam in Tweezer?  Oh yeah that was only wishful thinking and the kool aid additive.

Sometime later we come back, Frank wakes up and goes on a 3 hour journey to find his car.

Note: Frank did not find his car.
