Saw Phish the other night

[PSPookie]

On 7/3 to be exact. I haven't been to a Phish show since Big Cypress so I was pretty pumped about it (having good tickets helped too). We ended up finding a spot about 15 yards in front of center stage.

I have to say, they might be even better than I remember. Awesome show! Has anyone else had a chance to check them out on their most recent tour?

nice. i think the last time i saw them, jerry was still alive. good to know they are playing well. i had heard things went pretty down hill there for a while.

Wow your lucky. Haven't they only played 3 shows this decade? Or some other super small amount.

They played a very limited number of shows in the spring of 2009 but they're pretty much doing a full summer tour this year. I'm just glad they came to Atlanta.

Cool! Does Paul Languedoc still run their sound?

[TJ55]

Caught them a couple times last summer when they were close and have plans to do the same this year. I'm not a huge Phan but always make a point to see them when they come my way. Some to thier tunes really put me off, while at the same time I can't get enough of others.

I saw em in Hershey and both nights in Camden, definitely killin it this tour!

[MakiSupaStar]

Wooot!! I love Phish. I've seen around 20 shows. That looks like a good setlist. I've yet to see them since they've come back though. They just haven't been rolling through my neighborhood much. I haven't checked to see their fall dates though. Thanks for the pic too.

I was actually more excited about seeing Tweezer Reprise in a set list....

[Deluge Of Sound]

Psh, I got the acapella Freebird.

Couldn't catch them this time around, but I saw them last June in Asheville. Let's just say it was an interesting show. Enjoyed the hell out of it...

[PeaveyCirrus4]

This is the best they have ever been. Its good to see Trey sober and holy crap Mike has lost alot of weight lol. Alpine was fing nuts

[bigblondeafro87]

catching em in AC for halloween, apparently theres a rumour that Bob Marley's 'Exodus' will be covered for the night!

My first show was the legendary Orange Grove in Syracuse for the sole reason I lived across the street!

Seen dozens and dozens of shows since, most in bars, then a bunch in theaters, then a few in the mega arenas. The bigger the show got, the less I enjoyed it. Went to a few of the installation shows, Great Went, Clifford Ball etc, all fun but the scene got creepy/dirty/dangerous and I was glad to bow out for the last decade. Worked for them at the Vernon Downs show in there somewhere, but finally went as a fan again this last pass through Saratoga. The band is having fun, and it shows all night long. Don't plan on going very often again, but it will be sooner rather than later this time. Love 'em or hate 'em, a good live band is a good live band, and they are worth my money. Mike Gordon is a monster bass player, period. Some of his work with Kotke has been magical.

I just saw Phish in Amherst on Sturday, and they are on their game. They were great all the way around.

My buddy and I feel like Mike stole the show. He had a great night. At the end of Tweezer Reprise, the last song of the first set, Mike had the sickest tone. He just played this one note and let it ring out, and it was amazing. If I could get that tone, I would just sit there playing that one note all night.

I was at the March 6, 2009 show in Hampton (first one since 2004). One of the best shows I've seen ever. I used to sell glass at a lot of the shows. Not so much these days, but I always have some with me. We used to go see them a lot. We went to Lemonwheel back in the day. I tried hard to get tickets for the Halloween show, but was unsuccessful.

[bigblondeafro87]

I have tickets for this Friday, really excited. I'm gonna go sunday but can't really afford to pay a couple hundred for this show...

They surprise me every time I see them, they have a very unique sound.

My son was over in South Carolina for some training and went to one of their shows. He said they were so awesome that he went back and saw them again the next night.
