Idk why everybody hates on dlake shows, they are all amazing imo. Also as this being my first show, i was unexplainably satisfied. To start off, the setlist completely fit the vibe, and the vibe was very new too me. I have listend to phish years before this, and i always had a small clue on the shows and how they go down, and to be able to walk on lot and experience what ive dreamed about for years was a fuckin gift. Shakedown was nice and small, with a large green hill to chill on to the left, and a nice scenery of farm like characteristics(a barn closer to venue). Growing up in Buffalo NY, i spent my whole day on lot before the show and no time in the ammusment park. Ive ridin every ride there at least twice, hahaha. Raging through the Nellie Kane-Good Times Bad Times, there was a couple things that sparked to me, about how phish loves me as much as i love them.
1) I met new people from across the states, and had awesome conversations with them.
2) ASZ contained a "Happy Birthday" tease. This was suposivily was for a fan with a sign about it being his birthday. Then i thought for a second....and it was my b day too. Not my actual b day, but on that day i was born into the world of Phish. That was the begining to my journey.
3)Unlike reality, I will always remember the day i was born in this world....and if u ask me, thats better than reality.
This show influenced me to follow my boys through out anything. I may only be at a couple of shows....but everyone of those shows were amazing and there is more to come
Thank You Phish!
