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.

    Sorry, “it HAS to do with”

  3. garretc Says:

    Yeah, there’s some good looking exhibits going down

  4. Robear Says:

    jon, good pts. add ‘brother, lizards’ to the list of standard tunes in key positions. on listen back, the ‘7 below’ is good, not great. actually sounds like they try to hit warp drive a couple times but can’t lock up. They seem to kind of give up on the creative side of the set after that. the ‘wolfs’ is good, but far too short.

    @LW, smaller than dali’s persistence of memory?

  9. halcyon Says:

    For those that know, when did MMW change their stage lineup? For years it was from L to R: John, then Chris, then Billy. Now John and Billy changed positions. When did this happen? I used to see them so much, and they havent been to Colorado in a while, and when they have, I was either away, or couldn’t attend……

    apparently phish is playing on this guys album?

  11. DaNcInG fOoL Says:

    seems it’s just tom marshall @purple

  12. lastwaltzer Says:

    @purple

    it says tom marshall is one there. Most of the people listed do not play on the record, people in their bands do.

  13. lastwaltzer Says:

    @df

    if my memory is persistent (see what i did there) its about the same size.

  14. lastwaltzer Says:

    just found out my old room mate was up dancing with mike at Lincoln hall, too fucking funny.

  15. purplehumpbackwhale Says:

    oh… seriously? thats so lame. i saw the headline… it seems a little stupid that they can say “phish” plays on the album in the headline.

    “gus” is here

    lol that’s tiny then

  19. kayatosh Says:

    aw: any feel for market direction for next week? down seems unlikely, but a few are looking for another U (dip to 1160 that gets bought back up to 1200) before year end.
