The Grateful Thread

[dmc]

I tried to convice DMC about 4 years ago I was done with shows. I showed him.:wink: One kid at summer camp, one kid off to college. My summers are opening back up. Like the normal cycle, more time and less money again.

If I had a nickel for every friend with kids that said they were "done with shows" - I'd have a buck 380....

Phish did not disappoint last night. It was nice catching up with you, DMC. See you up in Saratoga!

So Patwtucket and Phili were really good. Well really hot too. Phili had quite a crowd of people going up against Fish in Saratoga.
It was 101 F when I rolled into the Phiil parking lot. We parked in shade and had a shelter, but wow it was hot and the folks out in the sun all day were not doing well. Last night at meriweather had quite a set list. Althea, Help slip Franklins..... All the things I thought would have played Sat in Phili. Work a few days and off the MCU. Glad all had fun as Fish.

Sorry I missed you at SPAC... Usual tour friends gathering cluster F's - herding cats...

SPAC was a riot!!! Well played - crowd stoked... great late night parties...

BOOM!!!

Phil will be at the Ramble in woodstock Sat night after the vibes.


Anyone going to Mcu Friday and Sat? Can't wait. Pawtucket was crisp. Phili was even better, more spacey. Stuff that does not make the set list.

This Sunday the 15 they play in Bethel NY, I try to go to that show.

The Bethel show last summer was the best of the tour IMO. Beautiful place.

I can't go this year. Enjoy

Yeah - like I told you Bob.. Going to miss the Phil Ramble..
Got a gig the night.. Strangely enough... It's at a big party in Woodstock and we are doing our Band set.
Also got a gig the night of the Bethel show....
Up in the air about Vibes for some reason.

sat night at the mann was great, probably the best i've seen this band play...the 2nd set was monstrous, especially the jam>darkstar>caution>st stephen>unbroken chain...dissonant space, jazz, straight-ahead...love russo

this year was a breeze compared to last year...the weather wasn't even close to as bad as last year, when it was 104 at showtime and still 99 when we came out of the show...that no-rain thunderstorm helped out nicely right before they came onstage...also security getting in was night and day...last year they were damn near strip searching folks and caused a huge backup and a near riot...we missed the first 4 songs...this year, walked right in, no line whatsoever

Saw Bob Weir with Bruce Hornsby's band and Branford Marsalis last nite at the Vibes. There were really good and better than I was expecting. Also saw Phil Lesh and Friends...I had heard Larry Cambell was an excellent player and man he is fantastic!

I have alot of "liquid blue's". I like to wear them alot. But ive noticed something over the years. I get alot of compliments on the shirts but when I wear the "keep it green" shirt for some strange reason people tend to walk up and touch it (as they say nice shirt) usually on the shoulder..

Im working the Syracuse Nationals this weekend and it happened again. lol for some reason I thought of this thread after it happened today...lol

Caught the Mickey Hart band saturday at the Vibes. All I can say is...thank God for Zappa does Zappa and Primus. Mickeys band was good, well okay, but wtf is Mickey doing? 1/2 hour late for a 90 minute set, then malfunctions all over the place, then he's trying to kick over his electronic gizmo thing. 1 dose too many?
anyways, I took pix. Zappa was perfection, Primus had a unique and awesome 2 plus hour set; hit the green stage for a bit and loved Mates of State. Caught Ryan Montbleau and Strangefolk as well. Came to the conclusion that I just like the unique stuff these days.

I heard Mickey got stuck in 95 traffic....
Just like all the rest of us...
And how can you blame him for stage gremlins? If you stacked Grateful Dead shows up that had technical issues - you'd have a big stack...

I enjoyed my Friday night Phil at the Vibes..
Truly an onspirational set of music..

A couple weeks ago Phish's the first letters of Phish's setlist spelled out 'F.U.#.K.Y.O.U.R.F.A.C.E" and after playing these songs they broke out the song "F*$K YOU FACE"...... Very cool...



Furthur answered back ast night with a setlist that spelled "S.T.E.A.L.Y.O.U.R.F.A.C.E".. and then played "He's Gone"...

Awesome interplay between the 2 bands...
