I am so glad I stayed here in Colorado for these Phish shows. I seriously debated going back east for the Richfield Dead run. So, so happy. Last night was the best that I've seen since 12/29 in New Haven. Best jams of the night : Maze (killer B3 solo), Split Open (best I've ever seen) and Mike's Groove (strobes, smoke and trampolines). During the elux solo, I heard a cone of one of the speakers on the LHS of the arena literally crack. Tubbs adorned a three-piece monkey suit. Personally, I like the housedress. Mike also had his heavey metal wind tunnel hairdo. Looked sorta like a racoon cap. Late second set FEFY demonstrated that certain sweetness that almost reminiscent of a post drums/space Stella Blue or China Doll (the quiet before the storm). My first Phurry Creatures. Interesting. Trey spend quite some time positioning his mic as though it were an overhead percussion mic and singing from underneath. Lots of running around on stage.What is the deal with this song? Are they poking phun at heavey metal acts or what? Boulder was ragin' after the show with "the hill" alive with phreaks everywhere. With Col. Bruce and ARU at the Fox this Wed., I'm so glad I decided to stay in the Rocky Mountain Space. Enjoy Gunnison all. And to those out east buried alive in the white stuff,.... take tomorrow off and go skiing.

Its just such a hard place to feel comfortable - especially compared to the other venues. The Fieldhouse is like a big restroom at the Greyhound station - only more so. [Note: The Fieldhouse is somewhat of a place of HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE! Frank Shorter moved to Boulder in the early 70's because the fieldhouse was the only large indoor track at altitude in the country. Frank went on to win the Olympic Marathon, which caused the distance running boom in the US and put Boulder on the map for endurance sports training] Lots of good songs and inspired playing for the most part, but it just didn't have the soaring peaks that Pikes Peak I and Vail II had. The venue size may have had something to do with the band and audience being unable to really "connect". Landlady->Funky Bitch was a great opener. Yangety and I had talked about how we wanted to hear Landlady without PYITE as they had played it so frantically in the Springs that we felt like we were cheated out of full Landlady. The song is a classic because of it's jazzy, avante swing bounce. When they speed it up in drains it for me. Weekapaug had a "My Girl" (Temptations) Jam. Contact was loopy. Wished I coulda gone to Gunnison, but the day job intervened. The only song I'm bummed about missing was Loving Cup, a long time personal favourite. The three shows I saw left me completely satisfied and very EXHAUSTED. I don't know where the band gets all its energy. -- +-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=+ | Glenn Russell "Some rise, some fall, some climb... | | russellg@rintintin.colorado.edu To get to Weekapaug!" :-) | +-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=+ ------------------------------
