Phish

• Jon Fishman: drums, percussion, harmony vox;
• Mike Gordon: bass, lead and harmony vox;
• Page McConnell: keyboards, harmony vox.

Major thanks to Paul & Lori for setting us up with great seats and a parking pass: little luxuries always make it easier to enjoy a show!

I thought tonight's effort was pretty darn good. I liked that they expressed a broad range in styles and dynamics (as opposed to the smash you in the head approach of JRAD), and while I didn't recognize about half the tunes, that didn't hinder my ability to enjoy the moment.

Several of Trey's solos were truly over the top bonkers good: another reason that I should probably make an effort to see Phish more often.

Thanks to Nugs & Youtube, you can watch the set openers for free: Pebbles & Marbles and Blaze On. Looks like the wideview shot of stage was from the soundboard – about 4 rows behind us.

Big thanks to Ting for the photo gallery!

Whoa! This section is incomplete for now, sorry!
