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…

What about Charlotte silly willy
welp, night folks
We’re headin’ outa’ town @ 9:0am on Friday
is it wrong to conclude that, in this era of bold reinvention and great leaps forward, that the only reasonable thing they could do as the costume is an album NOT in the classic rock canon?
dance party.
Into Charlotte’s a little better.
about 450$
im not sure I can swing that.
Was thinking if I could find around 300$.
But that might have been a pipe dream 4 or 5 days out.
And if a flight into RDU is clear too, I am fixin to leave at 11:30ish on Friday. I’de like to split gas with phish heads.
Anything to get another phan into the coliseum.
