Oh and to my sister in law. I'm looking at you catherine. yes you there in the back acting like you aren't paying attention while listening to metalcore on your hot pink and black ipod. Here's a website of all the other nerdy people who keep track of everything the band does. Yeah I see you rolling your eyes. Be careful or they'll come eat all of the snacks in your house and use words like "solid," "groove," and "chill." And then give you dreadlocks while you sleep. And they won't be hot pink.

Set 1: AC/DC Bag, Maze, Driver, My Mind's Got a Mind of its Own, Gumbo, Bouncing Around the Room > It's Ice, Two Versions of Me, Timber (Jerry) > Limb By Limb, Cavern > Light
Set 2: My Friend, My Friend > Golden Age[1], On Your Way Down, Fluffhead > Piper -> Tomorrow's Song[2], Prince Caspian, Harry Hood, Suzy Greenberg, The Squirming Coil, I Been Around
Encore: Fire
[1] Phish debut.
[2] Debut.
set I: ac/dc, maze, driver, my mind and gumbo all kept up high energy. If they are going to play a slower song, I dig bouncin. It's Ice also one of my favorite shorter ones. Rest of the set pretty solid, groove, chill time. And timber came out of nowhere.
set II: and speaking of that how about the tv on the radio cover. awesome! Very solid, chill, grove second set. With freaking Piper- I've wanted to hear that song live for about as long as I've wanted to hear songs live.
Fire will never be a bad encore choice.
Great show. Really the first of the tour when I felt the band was being spontaneous, fun, and relaxed a la back in the 1.0 day. If they keep this up Maggie and I might be doing additional tours in the future.
i forgot to mention, david, a couple inaccuracies in your little shoutout to me;
ReplyDelete1: my ipod is hot pink. not hot pink and black. my hair is hot pink and black. get it right.
2: most of the snacks in my house contain high fructose corn syrup, and are not organic, vegetarian, or otherwise the type of food deemed suitable for consumption by what i imagine the average phish phan's views would be.
3: if said phish phans were to give me dreadlocks, how exactly would they make my hair no longer hot pink? are you suggesting that they would dye it first? would it be all natural, organic, henna-based dye? if so, it would be a simple matter to bleach it out with terrible, nasty, man-made chemicals and redye it pink.
i think that's it. i'll let you know if i think of anything else. :]
can't wait to see you, mags! love you!
and have a nice time in atlanta, both of you.

Catherine, I've heard you say the word 'chill' at least five times in the last three days. Also, I imagine Phish Phans are against EATING nasty, man-made chemicals. Inflicting emotional pain on poor pink-haired teens could probably merit an exception.
ReplyDeleteI love you!
