Nice
bummed I won't be catching any Phish this tour. oh well. Only show within 5 hours of me is Mansfield and I simply refuse to go there on a work night. Been caught in a 3 hour line of traffic to get out of there far too many times.
Strangecreek was off the charts as usual. Thought attendance would be down because of Phish. Nope, sold out for the first time ever. They were offering $60 Wormtown tickets this weekend, so can't wait to be back at Camp Keewanee in a little over 3 months :beer:

COOL! Love it that there's enough fans for everything.. How was Jimkata?
The Phish shows didn't feel crowded.. There were lines getting out but we just hung out until they were mellow and took the back entrance out (West Shore Road) and really didn't encounter that much road traffic.. the people that work there are great!! The scene is sublime.. the locals were stoked! First time in years they've had a good memorial day weekend. They say "come on back!"
There were people camping up on Yasgurs - but not that many at all. Maybe 3 dozen tents from what i could see.
It felt like a festival

Jimkata was good
Other musical highlights were Otis Grove, Goosepimp Orchestra, Kung Fu, Dopapod, Max Creek, Ryan Montbleau
Apparently the set of the weekend was Sister Sparrow. Everyone walked away saying that gal is going to blow up huge. By midnight Sunday I was running on fumes, so didn't make that one.
Overall probably caught the least amount of music that I've caught at a Wormtown event. Probably had to do with the amount of friends I had there. Was much more social

Sounds great! Looking forward to Mountain Jam this weekend - looking forward to some variety and socializing.. Got a Phish show in Jerze Wednesday then MJam begins Thursday night... stocked..
Also - i think the 3 days of Phish sets up the Furthur shows nicely at Bethel Woods.. By removing some of the local angst towards the crowds.. I hope the Deadheads don't let me down and stay cool...
I don't really do the friend thing once the show starts I get laser focused... Tried to find Beano but failed...
I just get to my seats and hunker down..
Had a run it with Antelope Greg on Saturday - we were in the 5th row and he was behind us.. I acknowledges him early and he left me alone.. I had to explain the situation and how there's really nothing that can be done to my peeps..
Trey and I had our special moments Saturday..

Great time on Saturday. Parked next to a really nice family that rides at Stowe all winter long. Found some sweet tasting bloody marys on Shakedown Street. Show was top 5 for me.
Sorry we couldn't hook up, DMC. I shot out of there right after the encore to get a jump on the traffic. Maybe next time.
DHS, I ended up camping about an hour away on the Delaware. Awesome time...better than what I would have had at Yasgurs. Woke up on Saturday to Coffee, Fruit and Tubing down the river.

Glad thing worked out okay for you Beano. What a mess that Yasgurs thing turned out to be.
Would've loved to have been at last nights show.

Never posted in this thread, my lady is a jam band girl, not me so much. Been too a couple STS9 and Disco Biscuits shows over the years, but I am happy to report I went to my first Phish show a couple weeks ago at PNC in NJ and it was pretty awesome. I think it was the lady's 17th show, and she put it in her top 3.My buddy's 11th and he said it was either 1st or 2nd. Looking forward to going again someday.
I had about 30 friends at PNC who all said it kicked ass.
So bummed I won't be catching any Phish this summer. Only show within 2 hours of me was at Great Woods on a Tuesday night and I don't finish work until 8PM on week nights. So, it wasn't worth it.
I was raised in the jamband scene. Saw my first Grateful Dead show at 13 years old. Going to college in VT, Phish was obviously a big thing for me. I've seen almost 70 shows. Over 50 of which were between 94 and 98 while in college. No wonder my GPA wasn't so great. :lol:

Old dead head here. Saw GD and nothing but from '76-'83. Now my kids band is playing the Vibes, 7/22 I think it is, friday/teen stage. I'm going friday and saturday, highlights will be Furthur and Janes. I'm more into Primus and Umphreys McGee now, seeing all the Phish stuff, yeah, they're okay too.
my son aaron is the drummer, but he's pretty much quitting after the Vibes and the local Fair. Fun while it lasted, but the kids are 17 now, and their future ain't in jammin', though a few argue that one with me

pix from that show. Dave Frankel from Shakedown showed up which was cool.
Cool to play "aiko aiko" while watching the slide show. "Hey Bo Diddley" was awesome with a couple dijembe players and my son feeding off each other.

Nice matt :beer:
Unfortunately, my wife and I can only make Saturday for Vibes. Psyched to see Elvis and Jane's though. Never seen either, but have always been a fan of their music.
My brother is the Non-profit coordinator for Gathering of the Vibes and I'm friends with a number of the staff there.

OK....so I'm booked to stay in Middletown the night of the furthur show at Bethel. I'll be hitting the lot when it opens. At Phish we sprung for preferred parking and it was a home run. Parked right next to the grass and just chilled. Perfection. Was able to beat the traffic out following the encoure. Had the whole show behind us. Anyhoo....I think we're heading down that route again. Bob...if you're itching to get to the lot early and your friends are dragging their feet. I can pick you up at Monticello (I'm assuming that's where you're staying) I'll keep in touch with DMC via text and FB as he no longer posts here.
