I just got back from the Phish show - ask me anything!

[mdmc]

:dem:
Good times... some Dean wear was sighted... I wore a Dean hat, and met some People that Power Howard. Some Kucinich fans too. Good stuff.

1. Wasn't one of them in trouble for trafficking on child porn or something?

What's the deal with that?

[bbernardini]

2. Nope.

Big misunderstanding. Unfortunately, it was a misunderstanding that got him nailed in the nuts by a Hell's Angel. :)

[mdmc]

4. The way I heard it

The Phish dude was chillin with a little girl that happened to be the daughter of a gang leader. While nothing happened, the shit was kicked out of him just to be sure.

6. Yeah...The girl was lost and he took her in after the show.

He took some pictures of her, nothing pornographic, but the whole thing looked bad on the surface.

[BurtWorm]

7. Thank you all for clearing that up.

It struck me as a weird story, and then there was no follow-up.

3. Albany?

I'm going tonight. What was the setlist?

[mdmc]

5. I really don't know

since I'm an old Dead head. However, they did play with a band member that used to sing / write for them. They played Hendrix 'fire' and LONG TALL ONE, introduced as the first song that Phish had ever played together.
Are you speaking up there Will?

8. Go here for setlists

Last night's show:

Set I: Chalkdust Torture, Stash, Guyute, Thunderhead, Sparkle, Wolfman's Brother, Good Times Bad Times
Set II: Tweezer, Also Sprach Zarathustra, You Enjoy Myself, Camel Walk, Possum, Long Cool Woman, Run Like An Antelope
Encore: Fire

Much better imo than the previous two nights. But tonight's the big one! Too bad I'm on the west coast.

9. And who was that dude they were playing with?

During the second set ... Tonight is beantown?

[Emboldened Chimp]

10. That was Jeff Holdsworth

The band started with two guitarists and no keys. Page (keyboardist) joined in '85 when Holdsworth left after he became born-again or something. They brought him back because they're celebrating 20 years. Tonight's show in Boston marks the actual anniversary.

[mdmc]

11. Holdsworth's system wasn't really tuned in

I hope they get that cleared up tonight.

[Emboldened Chimp]

12. He might not be there tonight

but you never know. supposedly, they worked a deal with the city to play an extra-long show. I bet they do three sets. And they'll probably have the Big Country Horns there tonight.

You going?
