Weekend Nuggets: The Other Night In Albany

11.28.09 Albany (Peek)
With all of the due praise that 11.28 has garnered for its improvisational odyssey, the night beforehand has slid under the radar. In one of the most unique shows of tour, Phish molded an original second set featuring two debuts, a couple bust-outs, and a hefty portion on-point jamming. “My Friend, My Friend,” an aural omen of the fire to come, kicked off the frame, setting the table for the out-0f-left-field cover, “Golden Age.” An experience likening the debut of “Roses Are Free,” twelve years earlier in Rochester, no one had any idea what song Phish had busted out. The entire set passed and we walked out of the venue having no idea the song was even a cover. With a triumphant Phish jam and lyrics referencing “an age of miracles,” I thought the band had just debuted their best-kept secret, written specifically for this go-round. Only later in the evening did I find out the song’s indie pop-tronica roots, download the song, and become mesmerized by its transformation. Phish fed off the energy born from “Golden Age” for the entire set, killing “On Your Way Down,” “Piper > Tommorrow’s Song” and “Harry Hood.” And the first set ain’t too shabby either!

elihu and neemor
We like to dance on my bed.
Neemor, how do you go snare these shows so fast?
phishows.com
My second favorite website.
See a setlis I like, go to that site, download and go within minutes.
Beautiful thing.
I can’t download mega ups, so that’s the way I go.
Please take 33 seconds of your day and watch this. Youtube directed me to this from a Philly Mango Song video. WOW!!! Do not watch if you are prone to seizures.
And they have an aud of practically every show I could ever want.
Here’ s the mango, here is the mango, here’s the mangooooooo!
would you believe it goes for 5 mins??!!

“here comes the pirate, he’s after my booty” is that really what its saying?
Occasionally, I wish that Miner’s site here had an ‘automatic refresh’ feature.
neemore like a chat room. see what i did there? used your name to use a word i wanted. good stuff.
12.5.95′s ‘Free’ is a beautiful piece of music.
Now I realize that newer ‘Free’s’ are indeed mnissing something from their older counterparts…extension into a second round of lyrics (the hook) at the end…
That is good stuff, Mitch.
This Esther is already fun!
12.5.95
The real Philly Mango Song in HD. Great stuff!
:49 seconds into the Esther from 12.5, someone lets out a huge BURP!
I’ve never heard that before!
im hoping for a 3.0 phish tower ambient jam. thats one ‘stunt’ that deserves to be repeated, imho.
and now i know that finding robear’s oasis @ festies is a must, tho maybe ill try his coffee instead of his kind 8)
Mitch, you free Thursday night?
I may come into the City to shop a bit for my little one.
Do I recall a story that was never quite finished about The Dude of Life visiting RoBear’s Oasis?
Time now to pick up that tale where we left off….
Or is there not much to tell?
Neemor,
I’ll be off work at 6:30. You thinking drinks or dinner? I say drinks. Where are you shopping?
Sumodie,
I would love a tower jam again. Robear’s kind puts you under. I can attest. Need the speedball combo for sure on that stuff.
that 12-5-95 show was my first introduction to gorgeous western mass, to which im now returning. too bad the boys got banned from playing @ umass following those shows (i think that was a 2 day stop?).
anyone out there in rochester,ny area? is there like a consolidated place to find out everybody’s basic info?
llfa, at all ya’ll.
@ Mango Mitch:
I watched the video’s. The aud. came through, but the vid. was stop and go. Almost like a montage of stills. Is that how it is, or just my backwoods internet?
Drinks might be nice, get me in the spending spirit….
I was thinking F.A.O. Schwarz, not sure if it’s even still there.
Really, I’ll just window shop until something strikes my fancy.
It was a two night stop, and peak Phish if I’m being honest with you all.
kb, the best place to get at least our geographics is the ‘ThankYou Mr. Miner’ Facebook page, if you’re a member of FB.
Otherwise, I’m from Connecticut.
Last time in Rochester was to watch the Coney Island shows simulcast!….
Here comes that wicked Bowie, RoBear.
thats your backwoods inet robear. video is supposed to be normal.
neemor,
FAO is literally right next to my job. we can meet there.
This show has been extremely dark, and getting more evil as we go…
I understand the Noah’s Ark comparison now, for sure.
