Damn, have the channel, but I'm not subscribed. I'll have to call Time Warner and see about adding it. Jess and I pretty much only watch Boston sports, the discovery and history channels, so we just have basic cable. I wouldn't upgrade for HBO, but for live shows, definitely. Thanks for the heads up!!

Yeah...it's good stuff. Sometimes their concerts are off the mark, but you're sure to catch a good one every once in a while. It also has Rick Steve's and Smart Travel in HD...two shows I've always loved.

I'd love to catch Phil, especially at Glens Falls, but it's not in the cards. GF should be great. Very small venue. I was fortunate to catch Phish there on Halloween in 94'.

Correct. I saw a good 70 or so Phish shows between 94 and 98, then basically lost interest.

The Glens Falls show was the first time they did another Album and it was the White Album by the Beatles. Killer show starting at 9:30 PM and not finishing until after 3 AM.

no laws or at least a lot of tolerance. At the time they didn't care about nitrous either. There must have been 20 people selling it in the little parking lot next to the facility right in plain view of the cops. Cops didn't care at all and let it go on until 5 am before kicking people out.

I'm a bit mellow these days. 5am is get up for work time not go to bed time.

oh I'm certainly with you on that one. This was 13 years ago as a freshman in college. These days, I struggle to make it past 1 AM at shows and festivals.

Did anybody see Gov't Mule at Higher Ground (or anywhere else)? I was going to go but plans fell through. I think they still have a couple shows in the northeast in the next couple weeks.

E: Acoustic Ripple

copied from Phil Zone.

the Jackie Green songs rock. reminds me of Dylan and yes he sounds clear. Larry really sounded fantastic. I was a bit concerned. In previous Phil line ups I did not get that excited about him in the Mix. The Althea he really stepped up. the Hard rain was outstanding. good to see Larry take a lead in something that he knew really well. I'm so gone will be a tour highlight if you can catch it. Peter Wolf coming out was quite funny and the crowd liked it. He had a large bottle or refreshment with him on stage.
Vibe inside was typical Bost no tolerance and hot and crowded. Sat about 13 rows up Phil side.

Sounded A tiny bit muffled arfter (FOTD), but by mid way through the 1st set it was quite clear. 2nd set is was as clear as it can get. Came on about 7.45 finished 1st set just over an hour. Came back at about 9.30 and played till 11.20.

Great to hang with maineskier 69 and a mysterious other board member and Bride.

Sound is different from any other line up. I really like the change. Probably still like the Barry and Larry version and the Q better, but after that this group really sounds good for only a few shows under there belt. Give them a few more and shows. Phil sang alot and it was ok.

I thought I heard hard to Handle jam hidden in there a few times as well as a small other one Jam.
Burnt out with 4 hours of at home time between the show and work.
Be back at it tonight.

Nice

I haven't seen Phil unfortunately since summer 06 in Vermont. I really enjoyed Larry's playing. I'd go as far as saying Trey pretty much ruined what would've been a great show. I'm a Warren Haynes guy through and through in terms of my favorite, simply because I've never heard anyone sing Jerry ballads better than him.

If I had to pick my least favorite 'friend' it would definitely be Trey.


As much as I'd love to go, a Boston show is too much for me on a work night. Hell, I went and saw Ryan Montbleau here in town last night for his CD release party and I'm dragging from that.

For those who haven't seen him, Ryan is definitely worth going to. Super talented singer/songwriter and fantastic supporting cast. Too boot, there the nicest group of guys you'll find and no one tours or works harder than these guys right now.

Nice report, Bob. I'm looking forward to the 2 shows I'm seeing here in the Big Apple.

On another GD note....I'm listening to a great show from '76....and I'm curious as to your favorite Bobby Song. For me....Lazy Lightning---> supplication jam has to be right at the top. Man, I love that song and jam.
