Shitty set so far! come on Trey, you can do better!
😉
ANywho, thanks guys for this extremely heady service. can’t wait.
Scotty I hate you because you’re going and I’m not, but I’ll be monitoring the live blog all night – can’t wait to see your thoughts and the setlist.
Enjoy my friend!!!!
AWESOME. IT’S LIKE I’M THERE!! Don’t forget to enjoy the music while you’re there.
If you’ve ever met me, you’ll know that’s not a problem.
Gnice thanks have fun
Predictions anyone?
How about a lil’ First Tube > Somantin, Sand, Aqui Como Alla, Heavy Things, Bell Bottom Blues, Mozambique action??
Having a pair of wings on you does a lot for you. Regardless of the few sketch kids who either have spent to much time on tour or bought their wings and pinned themselves, when someone sees you have your wings, they know youv been around a minute and that your trustworthy, and most importantly, that you are family.
It took me years to get my wings and i didnt even realize i was being watched and that i was wanted.
Trey should bustout Cities>Daves Energy Guide>Cities, Caravann, and Flat Fee.
^what?
I’m saying Silicon Fairy bustout
Scotty this is the greatest idea. Thanks a bundle. I LOVE your predictions. Who knows? Did these guys ever play MLC and stuff? That and push are more horn driven.
I’ll call a JIBOO.
I’m thinking something like this:
First Tube
Alive Again
Mr Completely
Burlap Sack and Pumps
Drifting
Shine
Cayman Review
Sand somewhere in set 2 or late in set 1.
if no phish tunes are played, this show will be a complete failure
kaz, just so you know, my “^what?” was intended for the post above yours. I wasn’t referring to what you said Trey should bust out tonight.
What the hell is that post about wings?!
Regardless, I hope y’all get a big, nasty Jibboo.
No worries chris! And no matter what red plays tonight, Its going to be sick! Im sure hes pretty pumped about this show! And if he decides to play ROOTDOWN, that would be nice too 🙂
I know a kid who bought his wings… If i see a kid on lot wearing wings, i know he is family. If you have your wings, its assumed you are family. If you bought your wings and pinned yourself, people know and it gets around. They might be taken from you, but one things for sure, you wont be mistaken for family.
It is a special thing, something that truelly is earned over a long period of time. You have to prove yourself over and over again.
Also, the person who pins you forever has a special place in your heart. (((((((grant and everyone else who involved in my pinning)))))))
somebody might get pinned tonight!
oh good, ABowl4Me is back
Dave and Scotty are Geigh for Trey
Are you sure it’s ABowl4Me? I think it may be 10Bowls4Me.
i’m sure abowl4me is an imposter doing a great impersonation
when does this start? anybody?
just one more brief comment and I’ll leave you be…i just needed to get this off my chest tbh…
The sketch kids you speak off probobly bought their wings. Wings arent to be bought, or put on yourself.
You earn wings by bringing your energy to the scene day in day out, letting your light shine, and proving time after time that you are FAMILY. Just by being a solid kid.
Wings are a big deal, and i didnt even understand that until i got pinned. Having a pair of wings on you does a lot for you. Regardless of the few sketch kids who either have spent to much time on tour or bought their wings and pinned themselves, when someone sees you have your wings, they know youv been around a minute and that your trustworthy, and most importantly, that you are family.
It took me years to get my wings and i didnt even realize i was being watched and that i was wanted.
Im a terrapin over the bolt… Mine were worn for years by the kid who pinned me before they where put on me.
I caught the dead, but i dont consider myself to be a dead kid by any means. I love the dead, but it just wasnt my scene, i missed that wave. Having wings and all that comes with it really has nothing to do with the grateful dead, its about family, and what this scene is all about at its heart. It says a lot for a person if they have their wings.
“if no phish tunes are played, this show will be a complete failure”
i like to judge shows after i actually listen to them. the best shows i’ve heard rarely look like it on paper.
anybody know if the rev will be at the show?
who’s phish and why are they following me?
All right stop. Collaborate and listen
Me and Dawn out on a groundscore mission.
Something grabs a hold of me tightly
dosed by the rev, daily and nightly
will it ever stop, yo i don’t know
Nine tour starts in 4 days, lets go
to the extreme i rock LRG like a vandal
with the healing crystal and birkenstock sandal
Bum rush nershi side straight booms
trippin all day only custies pay for mushrooms
Deadly, when I play a dope melody
they tried to car jack me, yo, thats a felony
Love it or leave it
You better gain way
i got the dime bag and 327 better pay
if there’s an apartment, yo, Kris will rent it
is that bowl still packed? naw Kris spent it
Now when I’m sad I drink captain morgan
I got a homie that looks like gollum and billy corgan
Quick to the cell, chicago real estates my bitch
I rent apartments like Macys sells abercrombie and fitch
Even though I was GDF once
I still go crazy when I hear the untz
Rollin in my uhaul at camp bisco with all my shit
the cop took my crystal and he stepped on it
if there’s an apartment, yo, Kris will rent it
is that bowl still packed, naw Kris spent it
I hear one phan is on tap to get pinned tonight. Could it be you???
Get ready to buckle your seatbelts!
Any 14 year old Filipino boys outside the venue?
I’ hope we get a Money, Love, & Change tonight.
i think trey is gonna open with “drifting”
back on the train will be played for sure!

So cool. Love the play by play guys. Make sure you take a picture of the red headed fuckface when he comes out. Love him. I wish I were there. Hopefully he tears shit up. Anyway, good work so far.

No Sleep ‘Til Brooklyn, why put your link, which just goes right back here, trying to piggy back on the good things HT is doing?

driftin, or alive again
I smell a drifting.And it smells good!

couple probs early, working great now!
jeezus..has Tony gotten BIGGER?!
Tony has been hanging with Dave Schools again hasn’t he? :-D))
“High fives all around. We’ve got a winner.” So Hetti
Hey guys i was fortunate enough to do the posters for tonight’s show. As a long time Phish phan and trey fan in general I was stoked as hell to get asked to do this. If anyone wants one or didnt get one at the show they will be for sale tomorow at 10 am EST at http://www.statusserigraph.com Man I wish I could have made it to the show…kind of a long haul from TN though.
Go Bears
tour openers suck
tour?
Bug was played at Rothbury too
and 2 show tours suck even worse
really digging the peak into the show. thanks for making this happen. you’d think tony would by a bigger chair for himself by now…
Where’s my Last Tube, man??? It’s been so long 🙂
come onnnn bell bottom blues!! or Ooooh CHild
almost nails the lick?
Pretty sure Scotty is referring to that lick that happens twice in the song where it’s just guitar…and Trey never gets all the notes.
Will there be two sets on Sunday?
Anyone heard ‘the riff’ tonight? YOU know the one!
at APW? no its only an hour set….
No. 7:30 – 8:30
http://www.apwfestival.com/event/settimes/
ahh… thats what i thought …
something needs to be done about sunday being only 1hr. Fuck Jack Johnson, man.
Anyone want to speculate on what 4 songs (ha!) he will play at APW?
Well, I guess that equates to one set. Better than nothing…can’t wait!
Quantegy would be nice
Gayman Review is the worst song ever. Who ever paid 200 for a ticket to this joke is a fool!
First or Last Tube at APW would be stellar!
This show would be alot better if it was just trey
good call N
i like electric trey trump
Security may be non-existent, but my husband and our friends got yelled at for dancing too hard on the balcony!
come on baby lets go downtown would be amazing
We all want electric trey, but geez, we all want phish too. Maybe if he could pull a good setlist with his guitar plugged in the wall with this band. Then this wouldn’t be a conversation. Please don’t state the obvious on this board. Your wasting space
phish sucks
trey on drugs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3581q9SItuc
any questions?
the last spin jam https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGpE7uikOEI
wings are dumb. they worked long ago, when things were different. kids are dumb and they steal wings or beat kids up for them. everyone wants the boys back sooo bad, but i hope you all know it isnt going to be anything near the same. yeah the music will be tight, and for those of us who understand and appreciate what is involved with this thing called phish will rise above and have a great time, but there are so many people that are going for the wrong reasons. i hope i am wrong, i tend to think of things in the negative so when they happen they really are amazing, but i have already seen it start on a small scale and am a little frightened as to what the future holds.
“You earn wings by bringing your energy to the scene day in day out, letting your light shine, and proving time after time that you are FAMILY. Just by being a solid kid.”

thanks for the blogging!
just got home (4:30am) and came here to see if maybe you guys posted a setlist
hahaha!! you did more than that!! good work!! and thanks!
good work with the bagzooka, Scott.
I can’t wait to hear the recordings.
TREY IS BACK. PERIOD. That was the cleanest most error free show since a handful from “00……
that looks great. every body that got in, i both hate and am happy for you at the same time.
maybe next time tickets will sell out in under a 30 seconds so i can sit here even more pissed off than i am now.
dead red looks great though.
I saw this TAB band back in ’99…best trey set up ever
