A Festi Set
Amounting to an extended warm up for fall tour, Phish played the ultimate festival set in Austin last night that featured a smattering of songs and little creative improv. Staying wholly within the box for the indie festival, the only surprise came in the middle of “Harry Hood’s” jam when the band smoothly segued into “Light” – the biggest and brightest piece in their repertoire right now. But for the first time in memory, Phish didn’t jam the song, ending with its lyrical refrain. This represented the unifying theme of the band’s Austin appearance – no jams. Sounding perfectly proficient the entire night, particularly strong playing came in “Chalk Dust,” “Rock and Roll > 2001,” and “Harry Hood,” but all in all, this was a big pay day for the band and not much else. While I’m sure they had fun headlining a major festival, Phish played the most straight forward show possible with no risks whatsoever, making the night a non-factor for the many fans who didn’t attend – including myself. Even Phish didn’t list Austin City Limits as part of their Fall Tour on their website, because tour starts for real on Sunday. Broomfield awaits…

frack!!$#@$$^%(#$!
::sends good vibes to BB::
good luck getting tickets!
got 2 computers set up here. lets hope 1 can get me in.
@ mitch
what does this mean?:
“so you only have the 2 min warning instead of 15 min”
booted from the phone automated phone system?!!!! Dont tell me that
jp,
when you enter the captcha it says “your wait is aprox 2 mins” or 15 mins as it waits for the dust to settle. you dont wanna be the 15 min guy when 3 shows are on sale at the same time.
KWL, did you get that ‘ween ticket yet from my buddy?
foolish to not go for “best available”?
i’ve always chosen that. but floors would be my 1st pick. obv
sorry tele…
‘we are experiencing technical difficulties’
noooooooooooooo
thx mitch, gotcha
Telly Carini. It’s go time.
dont think he has sent it yet beantown
mailed the check out a couple days ago
ouch. thats gotta sting @ kwl
(which is not a problem, he seemed more comfortable getting the check before mailing, fine with me)
so Mitch when you get the 15 minute wait, start over?
wow, no beuno. Ive got 2 phones to my head and the computer up! My lady is working it tooo
Yeah, he’s a trustworthy guy.
I probably would have gone that route, too, of asking for the check first.
what are the chances my MAC has the correct time? time.gov won’t load and now its too late, i’m afraid it will screw everything up. Damn
I wouldn’t…
If you’re already in the 15 min. line starting over wouldn’t help any IMO.
dont start over butter. just gotta wait. the line wont get any shorter ya know? unless you just go back for singles
11:57 am
palmer, 11:57:50
Yeah, don’t believe the wait times
Just wait it out, imo and experience.
