The First Show of Summer
Keyspan Park - 2004 (MSJ)
The first show of summer- there is nothing quite like it. Staring down the barrel of so many adventures, the tour- and possibilities- seem endless. Always defined by a palpable energy and anticipation, Phish’s tour kickoff parties are always a blast. With friends reuniting from across the country and beyond, everyone is always in great spirits and raring to go as soon as they arrive in the chosen city of destination. This will be the case- plus more- come Sunday in Boston, considering how many people will be seeing their first glimpse of Phish in 2009. After Hampton’s ticket debacle, many loyal fans were forced to wait it out until this summer to get their first 3.0 fix, and the time has finally come!
Tech Rehearsal @ Cricket Pavilon (M.Gordon)
Fenway will be vibrating with so much collective energy this weekend, awaiting all the new material Phish has to offer, and rocking to updated versions of the classics. Predicting what they will play, while fun, is ultimately futile. (“Time Turns Elastic,” “Tweezer” to open set II?) But I do predict that almost every single person in the stadium Sunday will have a one-of-a-kind Phish experience that will be as fun as any they’ve ever had. There is no more time to wait, only time to pack up and travel! So as you go on your way to Fenway, or whatever your first summer show will be, take the appropriate tunes contained within “Miner’s Picks: Summer Kickoff Party.” Contained on the compilation are highlights from the first shows of each US summer tour spanning the years of 1995-2004. The time is now, so enjoy the music and get ready to launch into summertime!

This is not a first show of tour, but one on the home stretch of the massive musical outing of Summer ’95. This show sparked the final twi-night stand before Sugarbush’s quasi-festival ended the triumphant summer. There is great playing througout this one, as Phish was a well-oiled machine at the end of tour. This one is coming at you as the last pre-tour reader request – enjoy!

puts them along his top shelf
if people get tired of shavings
and carve up a good hunk of wood
remembering to check on the sausage
hes got cooking somewhere look good “
Time to fall into a deep well
It’s time time time for the last rewind.
can you all stop with all the fuckin happiness??some of us have to work another week
Time to bag it, tag it, sell it to a butcher in a store.
Boy, man, I’m not seeing a show until DC but I’m out of my skull anyway!
Time to softly sing sweet songs
“I got an Uncle in Puerto Rico
Spends his days in the sun
his nights in the casinos
He left the States many years ago
Took a fishin’ boat to Puerto Rico
Now my aunt, she is sad and lonely
She’ll never know that she drove him away
As a coward I admire his courageous ways
Well they say ……………….”
Jay, shouldn’t you be on your way to Fenway? it’s a long walk….
“If he’s real, he’s a legend from heaven
If he ain’t he was sent here from hell”
I need your help here Jay……
