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.

good call, MrP – yes, Feats in NYC – love it!
Sounds like a plan LW.
My buddy from Portland is coming in and staying at my place for a few of those nights. I think we may head into the city on the 28th as well.
speaking of NYC
i’ll have a day in NYC before the run – what’s a don’t miss in NYC?
jeez Phoamm, thats an impossible question to answer. 🙂 first time?
@phoam. same. the MOMA for one
Disco Biscuits are playing at terminal 5 that night, if you like them. ( 28th)
Doesn’t a BBer have a SLF that works at MOMA? Didn’t that come up at some point? BB art tour, hell yeah!
“BB art tour, hell yeah!”
i’m so there
Garretc- that was me. It was my uncle’s fiancee. I spent time with them a few weeks ago. She doesn’t work at Moma anymore unfortunately.
@phoam, you hitting worcester?
Also, I asked this last night, but it was much too late for anyway to actually be awake to answer, so:
Was the 2.0 lighting rig actually awesomer than the 3.0 one is? Cause, based solely on still pictures, and zero personal experience with 2.0, the post-hiatus rig just looks monstrously epic, like a hulking spaceship or something… Yes, no maybe?
Well damn her then, Mr. P!
I’m sorry, I didn’t mean that, I’m sure she’s a lovely lady, I just got frustrated…
llfa
it’s still worth going. Costs you $20. Money well spent. Better than 3 balloons on the corner of 33rd and 7th after the show, thats for sure.
The MOMA is a must see. My recommendation is to start at the top and work your way down. All of the classics are on the top floor and it takes quite a bit of time work your way through the whole place, don’t skip it.
anybody done the whole ellis island thing? I’ve been to new york a ton but never made it out there. Always been on my list of things to do.
wow – nice suggestions
for me, first time in 15 years
first time for BEK
Sunday Amherst had good versions of Stash, Antelope, Seven Below, Wolfman’s, Roggae, and David Bowie. There was a generous encore and the first Ride Captain Ride since 99. The problem was the standard #Line followed by Alaska in a key setlist position.
isn’t the moma $10? but yeah $20 for the moma is still a bargain
aw you got mail.
no woosta for me 🙁
anyone know if there’s anything special going on at the MOMA at that time? last time i was there they did a dali exhibit, best fucking thing ever. but starry night wasn’t there, so i’m excited to see that
is ground zero worth checking out at this time?
@df

isn’t there a mosk there now phoam? lol
thanks garret
So I also said this yesterday, but “ground zero” reminded me of it:
If you haven’t seen the documentary “Man on Wire” yet, you should do that asap. Absolutely stunning. I’m sure most of you know the story, but it was to do with wirewalking and the World Trade Center towers, when they were still there.
It’s on netflix instant play, you don’t even need to wait!
@DF
Starry Starry Night is SOOOO SMALL, was really surprised by that.
I saw a Dali exhibit in philly a few years back, I hear it was the largest showing of his work ever, pretty freaking amazing.
Last time I was in NYC they had a Kandinsky exhibit at the Guggenheim, looks like some of it is still on display.
