Jon Fishman And Mike Gordon Join 7 Walkers

After Phish's performance at the Greek Theatre in Berkeley, CA on 8/6/10, Fish and Mike sat in with 7 Walkers, who were playing at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco (Phish played there on 10/17/91 and 10/18/91). Fish played during Deal and Morning Dew, while Mike joined the band during Going Down the Road Feeling Bad.

achalsey most likely won't happen. I was at this show and there was only one taper (had a nice km 140s > 722 setup if I'm not mistaken) but he didn't seem too enthusiastic about getting it up. It sounded like he had a lot of other stuff to work on first, though thinking back on it, I talked to him during set break so he might have assumed I was just talking about the openers.

Show was amazing though. 7 Walkers killed it (as did Moonalice) but to be honest Mike and Fishman didn't add too much. They were cool cameos but Fish (IMHO) did not mix well with the band and pretty much hurt the Deal. I guess they only talked about playing one song, so after the end he gets up to walk off but Kreutzmann asked him if he wanted to do one more and he said yeah and sat back to redeem himself with Morning Dew. Certainly better (though the whole time he looked nervous sitting in for Bill) but it was nothing like Kreutzmann. For GDTRFB Mike literally just played the bass line, he even had to move basically off the stage to let George Porter back on stage to sing (its up on youtube). Very cool encounter though and I was blown away getting to see half of phish after getting shut out of the Greek all weekend. 7 Walkers were so good though, after catching the first set of Phish sat from the hill (outside but basically just the lot on a hill where the sound is surprising good) I ran back to GAMH to catch them again saturday.
