dont call it a comeback

or actually you can. they were gone for a while. just sounded like a snappy title.


saw the phish sunday in fenway and last night at jones beach. i was pretty amazed and fully satiated from both shows. can't wait to go again in august. they came with the hits, and balanced the tight with the loose in a phenomenal way. maybe seemed slightly tense, but i think they were just focused on not blowing it, which i'd say they were most successful at, as evidenced by a flawless YEM on sunday and the wealth of intricate goodies last night (fully loaded mike's jam, harry hood, foam). there's no denying that they are more than a hippie jam band. they are a hyper-talented college band that made it and can fill the nation's largest venues by singing songs where the only lyrics might be "david bowie / ub40". that's kind of amazing. and they still put on incredibly enjoyable shows.

here are some vids shot by people that had much better seats than i:







stream last night's show here. who's gonna be at hartford/spac?

phish on twitter

to Phish-head-Twitter-heads: the past three nights i have been pleasantly surprised by the contents of my sms inbox, tweeted from Hampton with love. follow @phish on Twitter and turn your device updates "on" to get live phish setlist updates via SMS. the frequency of tweets gives you an inkling of which songs they're vibing harrrrd. what a brilliant use of Twitter.

as for who the twitter-phairy is, i'm willing to bet it's one of gordo's web 2.0 buddies...seems like he's the one hanging with the [web] fast crowd these days.

happy HAMPTON

to our friends headed to hampton: YEM. the rest of us will be listening, 24-hours later, via livephish.com where Phish will be providing free next-day mp3s of all three shows (righteous). below, a NYTimes piece on the Phish reunion:

Phish’s Breakup? That Was Then. But Tough Times Call for a Reunion.

By JON PARELES, New York Times

.....Anastasio also has another mission in mind. As a longtime fan of Depression-era swing bands, he has been thinking about Phish’s role in the current recession. “For people in hard times, we can play long shows of pure physical pleasure,” he said. “They come to dance and forget their troubles. It’s like a service commitment.”..... (continue reading)

phish reunited at brad sand's wedding

phish reunited saturday night at brad sand's NY wedding. trey, mike, fishman, and page played "Suzy Greenberg," "Julius" and "Waste" for the wedding guests a mere 1,483 days after coventry. later stewart copepland (police) rocked out with the wedding band on "can't stand losting you" and the meters' "fire on the bayou". my brother always said he'd have a phish coverband come out "the moment grandma and grandpa leave" and play until the early morning. footage of the reunion below. sounds like a grand ole' time!
