Reports from last night is that Bobby made a total 180 and it was an excellent show.

If so, and the reports he was drugged are true from the night prior, than the man has balls of steel for even making an attempt at staying on stage Wednesday night.

Hopefully Bobr and dmc catch a good one tomorrow. Last east coast show yes? They should throw down for sure.

Jersey yo!!
Music Never Stopped was pretty perfect compared to this: :blink::blink:


That's pretty gut wrenching to see. Poor guy. I give him all the credit in the world just for staying out there. Almost as if he didn't know what song they were playing or even how to play his guitar or even where he was. Pretty rough to watch. It makes me sad to see him like that. Jerry was like that at a few shows towards the very end. I think it was a Giants Stadium show on the last tour in 95 when the sound guys had Jerry's guitar turned so far down because they wanted to protect him and not let him embarass himself. Guess you can't do drugs every day for 50 years and still be ok.

I so miss the Grateful Dead. Guess it's the time of year to think about what used to be, for me anyway.

Any video from the second night? DMC? Bobr?

Well I am back from the weekend. Tired and worn out, but a great weekend. Nice to not be rained on for a change. Quincy Muford was my surprise of the weekend. Band was pretty good. caught some of that on thursday. Furthur was solid. I still like Gelston castle better and the both nights of Phili. Some felt the Vibes was the best. All a matter of opinion and the environment around you. I can tell you they can play Althea.

Dso 1st set on Thursday was fantasic. 2nd set pretty good. All in all a great festival. I got up pretty early yesterday and got home around noon. I slept off and on the rest of the day and then went to bed.

Have to admit when I heard that possum song I was like the f-ck am I doing here, last of my two Phish show career.
To each ... have fun those getting out.

i pee during Time Turns Elastic .... haha...

GD pee break was always Eternity...

I know why Bobby named that song "Eternity". Because it went on forever. What a bunch of Bobby fluff that was.

Any word on Furthur ticket sales for the 2 at MSG? Hopefully Bobby stays away from the cold medicine.

Supposedly, per Gary Lambert on XM GD Satellite station, Bobby had a bad reaction to a mix of a prescription drug and cold medicine. I guess only Bobby really knows. What Phil said about drinking only what you pour yourself was an attempt at a joke, and that's when the rumors started flying.

Believe what you will about that night. We'll never know the truth.

Hey JerseyJoey this is tough time for a tour. Right at the beginning of ski season.

Scotch cold medicine.:) Could be a dose though. 2nd set seemed okay. You don't sober up from drinking in 1.5 hours.


I will be at worcester and probably a few other shows. I like the small venues. Its all over now Baby blue.

I may go to NYC it depends on if other shows pop up closer. Even though is early ski Season its hard to trade a weekend of turns to catch one show. Like to take the rest of my vacation days on he hill not in parking lot in november.
