Jones Beach: Show Review – Night Two [Coventry]

Dr. Pauly’s Rules of Tripping:
1. No one knows you are tripping until you actually tell them.
2. It’s cold outside — bring a hoodie.
3. No matter what you think, you CANNOT fly.

Alpine: Night One Recap – When The Circus Comes [Coventry]

Alpine: Phish @ Alpine Valley, Night Two – Recap [Coventry]

I had such a good time on Saturday night that after the show, I told my girlfriend that there was a 5% chance I would go to Jones Beach. When I woke up on Sunday that had climbed to 10%. Once I discovered that my buddy Matt Law had extras to both nights at Jones Beach, the percentage rocketed to 75%. As I walked out of the Sunday show, I was 90% sure I was going to Jones Beach.

SPAC: Night One, Step Into the Tweeprise [Coventry]

I spotted a guy with a FUNKY BITCH sign. The Joker had mentioned that Phish had turned into a request band, so it’s in everyone’s best interest to bring witty signs to shows in hopes of hearing your favorite (obscure) song.

Did you ever want to be a rock star? Do you sing along to Phish songs waaaaay too much? Do you have an American Idol fetish? Are you just a whore for attention?

If the answer is yes to any of those questions, then you should become a contestant in Coventry’s Phish-araoke Contest.

Miami: 12/29 Show Recap [Coventry]

Security check-in was significantly more thorough. I ran into Eric in the hall. He’s an “insider” and relayed the sad news that the Miami shows were the last show til late-July and August. “Enjoy the last bits of Phish for a while,” he said.

MSG: MSG #3 – The Grand Finale [Coventry]

First Tube started out flat then took off in a thousand directions at once — sort of like being shot out of a canon, er, make that a thousand canons. A few minutes into the song, the crowd went bat shit crazy. Screaming. Yelling. Like everyones’ drugs kicked in at the same time! A fat kid puked on himself.

Albany: Show Recap – Albany Night On [Coventry]

As soon as I heard the opening notes, I tweet’d… Fluffhead of all Fluffheads to save the show. Boy, was I right. The crowd exploded into a collective orgasm. I had to check my pants to make sure I didn’t not leave any semen streaks. I had not seen that much frenzied and kinetic energy at a show since the first night in Hampton. The crowd were patiently wading through the fluff in the first set until Phish stopped driving in cruise control like your grandmother on the freeway and let it rip like a NASCAR driver. They floored the accelerator for the rest of the show and did not let up.

That’s why I travel long distances to see the Phish.

Happy Thanksgiving: Thank You, Phish [Coventry]

It’s Thanksgiving so it’s time for us at Coventry to give a hearty, “Thank You” to Phish and their organization. Since the Phish reunion at Hampton in March, we’ve returned on a magical journey that only Phish can lead us on. For that alone, I’m extremely thankful for the re-emergence of Phish into my life. Over the last year, I reconnected with old friends and made new ones along the way. To quote a lyric we all know… “I feel the feeling I forgot.”

For that, I’d like to Thank Phish on behalf of the entire Coventry crew.

Cincinnati: Mr Fabulous’ Friday Show Review [Coventry]

The two-night throwdown at US Bank Arena in Cincinnati this weekend was the best live Phish that I have personally witnessed.

Jaded veterans and career haters on PT will no doubt disagree with me. In my defense, I’ll present two pieces of supporting evidence: First, the inestimable Mr. Miner at Phish Thoughts, who solemnly declared that Friday night’s Set II marked the official beginning of Fall Tour; and the Phish themselves, who let Trey sum up the band’s feelings about the weekend when he wrapped up Saturday night by declaring, “We wish we could play here for a week.”

My guess is the largest shakedown street area will be the main route 50 parking lot. If you want to park in this lot, my advice is to get there early. It will fill. There is also parking on the opposite side of route 50 in various impromptu lots and this can be a bit of a hike also. There is a pedestrian bridge across rte 50. USE IT.

Reviews: Show Recap – Southern Fried Phish [Coventry]

On paper… this looks slightly above average. In reality? The best show this tour.

Even the new songs? Stellar versions. Alaska made one helluva Phishy debut while I heard Kill Devil Falls for a third time in five shows. They’re getting better at it.

Reviews: Phish @ JB – Night 3 [Coventry]

Another consecutive sober show for me. No party favors and not a drip of booze. I’ll spare you the flowery fluff job of the Phish and cut to the chase. Wilson pleased the drenched crowd. Buried Alive made me all warm inside. Thought they would go into Possum but that was just wishful thinking. AC/DC Bag was well received. I had one of those existentialist moments during I Didn’t Know where I realized that I was standing in the rain and listening to a fat 40+ year old guy in a muumuu play a vacuum cleaner.

The decline slowed considerably in the last week, overall average down by only 1.8%. Fenway picked up 31 points in its first full week on the market. Biggest drops were both gorge and knoxville, which became the second to fall below face, with continued softening for shoreline and MWP. Most other prices held fairly steady.

Hampton has the potential to be so many things but the hardest thing is hyping it up too much and placing too many expectations on the band and the scene and my friends.
