The Grateful Thread

[marcski]

I was thinking back to what Etta James said when she satin with the Dead at a NYE show...

Something like - "The Dead are the greatest American blues band"

That rocked. Is that the Tower of Power horns with them too?

But has the Phish reunion been talked about already?

I have been told that the "dead" will be touring in the spring <~~Haven't really looked into that one

a few of us tried for the lottery tickets, but didn't score. Hopefully they play several shows this summer in New England or a festival. I feel better about this return for music for them than the previous return following the hiatus. I'm optimistic it will get back to the quality it was in the mid to late 90's, 92-98

Played in Tannersville NY on Halloween with the Funk boys... Great time.. Had a rail jam going on outside - played till 4am... insane..

Broke out Possum, Simple, Tweeprise and Funky Bitch... People were stoked for Phish..

Second set we went insane for 2 hours - didn't finish any songs just jammed from one to the next... And ended it all with Tweeprise...

Good show. Fun venue. Highlights for me, were the opening, Help->slip->Eyes; Lovelight; and Golden-Road from the second set.

Jackie Greene was once again quite impressive on guitars (wish phil would let him sing a few more!) as is Larry Campbell, who really is a "master" as phil refers to him. John Molo very solid as always and Phil's new bass is funky cool! ....

Larry Campbell IS a master for sure. The couple of times I've caught Phil with him, I've pretty much wished Larry would play most of the lead parts, especially side by side with Trey a few summers back. He's an incredible player.

So, I can't believe no one else saw any of Phil's shows during this year's Nokiathon?

$$$ and time my man. Coming from NH, I just couldn't justify the ticket, hotel and party expense, especially this close to ski season where most of my extra funds will be allocated. I'm definitely jealous and had he played that many shows somewhere in Boston, I definitely would've got at least a couple.

 

[marcski]

I hear ya. I was really referring to others that are more local, who shall remain nameless ). Plus, I have to tell you, I'm getting old...its hard for me to stay up so late these days with work, kids, life... That's why I only caught one show myself. But, I heard last Sunday, the show started at 7.

Got a kid coming in a weeks. Had to pass....

Yes, my point exactly, just wait until the kid comes man..... ;

Congratulations and good luck by the way, I hope it all goes easy for you and the wife.

Meh... I'd rather not be banged up at a show when she goes into labor.

Anyhoo... found this clip. Has nothing to do with the dead but thought you guys would appreciate it. (Does sound like shakedown in the beginning, though)
