Tonight felt like a wasted opportunity. 1st time in the state of Oklahoma, at a zoo, one of the years last shows...and it just felt phoned in. I don't wanna get into specifics because I like to just move on when Phish drops a dud on us, not wanting to dwell on the negative feelings that bubble...
Just a note on the Gap Chart of this OKC show...and a comparison to the KC show the week prior. I was at the KC show this tour, so when I saw the OKC setlist, I was like..."I gotta post something!!" So, here goes...
In OKC, no gaps over 10 shows, except 2 songs, which were Divided Sky and...
Not sure if you guys were at the same show I attended last night... I thought it was great. Part of this could be due to the fact that I haven't seen the guys for several years -and- it was the first time in my own hometown.
There was a great vibe going through the crowd, it was a beautiful...
I saw it in person and this was f***ing incredible. Had a coworker with me (it was hits first show ever) and he was blown away.
I don't know how it sounded on couch tour, but live it was ridiculously good.
Intro:
Been a Phan for about 8 years now. Still wear the same Phish shirt I bought in high-school. This was my first Phish show, for various reasons. One, I am 25 years old which takes me out of the early Phish era. Two, I am not from a financially fortunate background that would allow me to...
A brief preface, for those of you who might rather skip to the TL;DR: this was my first live experience with Phish. I've been a fan for nearly 20 years, going back to my college years, but financials, locations, and random happenstance conspired against me hitting a live venue over and over...
I joined in on couch tour late into Divided Sky. Seemed like the energy wasn't great, the band playing one straight-forward tune after another with some guys next to the mics talking about the show like they were TV announcers in a golf tournament.
Big rockers and groove tunes, but not...
I can't believe I'm saying this...but this second leg has been such a disappointment. (Wait for angry fan-boy bashing.) They have about four hundred songs and you can't look in the face and say they aren't playing the same old shit every show. It would be alright if they played the same old shit,...
Yes there were no 30 minute mind bending exploritory jams. Yes there was little band banter and, there was no crazy spoofs or teases from the band. Yes they didn't play Pink Floyds Animals, or a whole set of animal themed songs. For once in my life I walked into a Phish show with no expectations....
