TTFT: Miami ’09 & March Madness
12.29.09 - Miami, FL (Wendy Rogell)
As we finish our audio retrospective of 2009, today brings us to Miami. Riding the cresting momentum of fall tour’s back end, there was a sense that something special would happen down south. Heading to the proximity of Big Cypress ten years later and back to American Airlines Arena six years later, plenty of memories and anticipation hung in the air. And when the band left Miami, they had found a new sense of musical purpose, bringing their playing to a new level while inspiring the community and making the future look brighter than ever. Mike had been using his envelope filter more and more towards the end of fall, and in a New Year’s Run in which he was the undeniable leader, the effect was prominent in many of the jams. Achieving a new level of musical density, Phish was hitting on all cylinders as the calendar turned to 2010. Today’s playlist is comprised entirely of Miami highlights. Stay tuned from a trip through 2010 starting tomorrow.

The Field of 64
hey, @Miner, that Birds from 2000 that you posted a few weeks ago has become one of my favorite jams of all time, can’t thank you enough for exposing it to me.
dognamed: yes, my dvd did freeze for a sec during that intense stash, don’t recall any other defects

Portland OR, eh…?
PDX would be soooooo convenient!
Hit some SF shows, head north, move in for school, see Phish shows…
You think Portsmouth will be a tough ticket? Two years ago I couldn’t get rid of an extra. I have a hold for half of my order (either 2 for one night or 1 for each night), but thinking the onsale should be alright. Friday at noon is Portsmouth, Alpine, and SPAC.
My world has gone bat shit crazy. You cats may be my last hope.
come to AC Robear. we’ll do a group hug. hang in there for real though.
i hope summer tour is the cure for some out our ills. they need to bring the jams on a nightly basis in both sets. our souls require it.
