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.

Speaking of folks who have played a lot of shows. Just read that The Radiators have played over 3500 shows. They are either about to play their last or just played their last show.
That’s a lot of mediocre Nola jams, right there.
I’m sorry, the Rads have always left me cold except for one NYE show, and that was 100% the L not the band.
My 2 yr old loves Sugar Shack. Blasting it on the home system right now while he gets his boogie on. Sugar Shack might be the only Phish song for which I overwhelmingly prefer the studio version to any live one.
Not a Rads fan either. My buddy loves em. They are old.
James Harrison getting more bad calls…
Sound slike Furthur was sweet last night.
We saw the good further last nightat MSG. 8)

Wish I’d come in for that one. I am saving my brownie points for Phish, not that I have tix but I am going to get myself to at least one holiday show and hopefully 2.
whats up bb?
Jets trying to blow this game. I think Sanchez just likes the dramatics.
Chula Vista ’99. check it. Tweezer, Tube, Boogie On all $$$
Furthur from last night:

Enjoy!
Starting to think seriously again about a Liquid Time sign for Woosta -I’ve got perfect seats from which to flash that sign both nights
Time to finish off 8/20/93 while splitting wood -the famed Antelope was pretty cool, not sure it’d make my epic list though
thanks for the Furthur Wolfie! Haven’t heard a note of their stuff in almost a year. Looking forward to hearing the improvement. 80 shows in a year is serious stuff for those two old men. Impressive.
man sumo, i need to chop some wood too.
He does have a flair for the dramatic.
Nice comeback Jets
Bomb Factory Tweezer
Pats Colts
Eagles Giants
MLS Cup
Nice little evening
nice comeback/way to almost blow that one
Haha, listening to one of Phish’s Bridge School Benefit sets today, because it’s an acoustic kind of day I guess, and it’s awesome hearing the non-Phish crowd deal with Freebird…
Bet they didn’t see that one coming!
The perfect soundtrack to answering questions about mortgage backed securities!
I guess…
Did this exact page happen last year or am I having out of control deja vu?
All Furthur sbd’s are up in Lossless @ the Noid
@Bingos
Probably not, cause I haven’t listened to the Bridge School shows before, so I wouldn’t have said that…
I think you’re just losing your mind, quite frankly.
If you were sane, would this post suddenly start discussing gerbils? Uh oh, it just did start discussing gerbils, oh dear…
@garretc: lol, 8/20/93 Freebird began on my pod just as I read your comment
also just realized where Spasm Waiter got his name (that’s right, don’t ever ask me to quote phish lyrics)
Taco nite with fam and in laws. Goal: kids in bed pre game. Tension is already palpable. Go Birds!
And go Phish. Wonder if Trey will be playing at 70? A good handful of the rock elite clearly met the devil at the cross roads.
