This was my first west coast show and I had the pleasure of going with my girlfriend for our one year anniversary under the stars of Santa Barbara. This was her maiden voyage with us, but it will surely not be her last despite her disappointment that she would not here Bouncing.
The show was tight and the band was really gelling especially on the MFMF, SOAM and several others. We had the delight of meeting Ellis from Phish.net, a guy from Hamburg and a warm couple who told of us their adventures at Phish8.
The Soul Shakedown Party was a fantastic start for us and my girl was shaking it with her Prada handbag narrowly missing some dancing Phans. Would have been great to hear the Jerry cover Cats Under the Stars with the beautiful stars and the glow stick lights aglow, but loved the beauty of this amazing band in an amazing venue.
