I was not at this show. Listened to the recordings after and the Rock and Roll>Ghost combo knocked my socks off. Great jamming and I'm here to break it down.
Rock and Roll
5:00 Lift off jam...
6:30 Trey settles into a very 2.0 sounding chord progression but this eventually gets funky with...
“Rock and Roll”
5:00 Trey’s solo begins to lead the band away from the song structure.
5:50 Trey strikes a chord and lets it ring for two measures while Mike and Page fill in the space. This repeats a few times.
6:10 Trey starts varying his chords and, after a short period of time, begins to...
Great show - first set was very solid, the guelah was good to hear, the Bathtub was one of the better I've heard in awhile and the Quinn the Eskimo was actually pretty smoking.
Of course...second set was pretty amazing from a jamming stand point. Haven't heard them get this outside the box in...
highly enjoyable first set highlighted by a raging gin (spec fishman) and a great lil Quinn closer.
RIDIC second set with an astoundingly creative and experimental Rock N Roll, a raging Ghost and a especially impressively played Guyute.
top it off with a fun Julius encore and that my...
I've got one word for you: underrated. This is the most underrated show of 2012. As far as I'm concerned, the three best shows of 2012 are Dick's 1, SF 3, and the one you're reading about, and not necessarily in that order. The first set contains letter perfect performances of both Kill Devil...
first set was a big letdown for me and had me worried a bit during setbreak. Then they dropped possibly the best sequence of 2012 thust far.. r&r-->ghost 45+mins of the phish from vermont absolutely locked in. and the beautiful thing is the ghost jam picked up right where r&r jam leftoff....
Not only am I astonished by the band's performances, but one thing I noticed and was impressed by was their song flow. Last year's bit of summer shows I caught felt like the songs were being crammed in and deprived the setlist of time to stretch out in one certain tune. This second set didn't...
After breaking into a nice snappy, percussive bent, the playing settles down to quieter musing, briefly suspending rhythm in favor of pulsing sonar. But between 12:00 - 13:00, all four steer the ship back to the surface, slowing building into celebratory playing before venturing into more improvisational waters.
