Weekend Nuggets: Mullins Center
10.23.10 - Amherst (Ryan Gilbertie)
DOWNLOADS OF THE WEEKEND:
These weekend’s shows from Amherst were split down the middle. Phish brought a legitimate smoker on Saturday night and a bona fide snoozefest on Sunday. Coming off three special shows in Augusta, Utica, and Providence, however, these shows just didn’t elevate in the same way. The first night has plenty of engaging jamming in “Tweezer,” Disease > My Friend > Caspian > Halfway to the Moon > Boogie On,” and set-ending sequence – “Piper > Hood, YEM.” But aside from the first-set “Stash,” Sunday never really got off the ground. The old-school first set would have been fine had there been any action in the second. But there wasn’t. When a second set’s highlight is “Roggae > Taste” you know something strange is afoot at the Circle K. Another smoking “Bowie” could do nothing to salvage this long-lost second half. But the band popped right back in Manchester like nothing had happened.

Birds from hartford ’09 just came on the shuffle. Nice version. Maybe the best in 3.0. Seems that they took it out more than any other version since the return. I’d like to order some Birds for the NYE run. please.
Neemor… i think that material is still near and dear to their hearts. I see them continuing to play it, but at lesser intervals. Shows like Hartford ’09 and the like will be sparse, but all the more enjoyable when they do pop up.
Yes to Birds on the NY run, MSG please. I also think that the band is in a very good musical place to bring back Shafty and to do dirty things with it.
@palmer
go check the philly 09 show, great birds jam to open the second set.
are you guys on holiday or something?
Light > Tweeze to open set II of 12/30…
Sign me up Miner^^
Orlando stash is $$$$$$$. Dont front.
And is $$$$ throughout. From treys picking at the drop of the jam
RV in the neighborhood with a large “shpongled” sign on the front. intriguing….
“Light > Tweeze to open set II of 12/30…”
gotta say tweez>light would work better as a transition
orlanda stash, has maybe the most beautiful section of any jam ever
great new Harry Potter movie – loved it!
then got pizza and several greenman ipa’s – so tasty! 🙂
“Dont front.”
that’s some oldschool slang right there. right out of the early 90’s. nice
“gotta say tweez>light would work better as a transition”
^ Gotta say that isn’t true…get light into something deep and come growling out with Tweeze OR something funky and work the lick into the jam. Anytime they transition INTO Light, it is jarring and somewhat abrupt because of the heavy opening chords…its almost impossible for > Light to flow well..the only real > Light that was smooooth was Hood > Light at ACL…
transitioning into tweezer is usually really jarring to though, no? when was the last time they actually even did a proper transition into tweezer? and i thought camden 2001>light worked relatively well
palmer, you still out there?
Mike ( I wasn’t that drunk, I was high) Williams TB or Jeremy (I’m wide open too) Maclin?
seriously getting off on this Doin that Rag on the Big Rock Pow Wow cd. Fire and $$ and all that.
> He Was a Friend of Mine = wow. Beautiful.
Rob.. i would go with Maclin i think. Giants have a propensity to give up some big plays, Eagles seem to make a lot of big plays. Not sure about this Williams character
Question for you: Eli vs the Eagles on the road or Flacco vs. Panthers on road?
tough one. i haven’t watched the Panthers at all, so don’t know their defense. Eli is like Jekyl and Hyde. Flacco probably the safe call, Eli probably has more upside.
2001>light
^ this is not a transition….
both songs are not good for “>”s. for sure.
fuckin Candians
my fault
fuckin Canadians
I’ve been spinning that 69 Road Trips today also AJ
very nice
hey BB… Irish fans out there (silly and T3)
that was FUN!
