OK folks, I think you will be very happy with the result here. First off, I know I usually try not to comment on the music itself much, but I can’t help it in this case: I love this show. Perhaps my favorite of the tour, and there aren’t even any real mind-bending type II excursions. It’s just so well played, and they sound so…liquid in this show. I mean, a killer SOAM + Drowned as the third and fourth songs of the first set? Please. A beautiful Theme with some absolutely soaring guitar work from Big Red. And you Vultures fans who haven’t heard this version yet…just make sure you have a pair of fresh drawers for after you listen to this one. Top it off with a sick, long Antelope and an encore of REBA + Bold As Love?!? I quit.
Trey Anastasio: Spring Tour 1999 DAUD Various
Yesterday, Duanebase and Jason Sobel seeded the best available source of each Trey Anastasio Spring Tour 1999 show on bt.etree.org. This tour featured Trey solo for the first set and backed by Tony and Russ for the second set. If you’re only going to download a few shows, I’d recommend Albany and St. Louis. - ScottyB
Remembrances: 10 Years Ago On A Cold Dark Night [Dog Gone Blog]
10 years ago today Phish took the stage of the Spectrum in Philly, on the second night of two nights in Trey’s “hometown” venue. After a less than stellar first night, Phish came back the second, gaining a mysterious energy from the outset.
Remembrances: 10 Years Ago at Oswego [Phish Thoughts]
Ten years ago today, we made our way into Oswego County Airport in Volney, NY for Phish’s only mid-tour festival of their career. As the band was churning out an excellent summer of shows, this weekend stop looked very promising. Over two sweltering days in upstate New York, Phish played set after set of quality music in easily the most overlooked festival to date. Yet as the idyllic weekend was all but over, with only one set left to go, nobody knew that the best was yet to come.
