Indeed. That whole run was upbeat and fun.
You're welcome, Judit. I figured a 10 year anniversary deserved some love.
This show in particular tickled my ears. The covers done that night, including Phish's Story Of The Ghost, were great choices. I can still remember during Cryptical telling my friend that I was hearing Boris The Spider teases and them BAM there it was.

Wish Phil would do more stuff like this these days instead of pimping for his son's band.

This was a great run of shows
This was a great run of shows. I went to all but the last night. What a time. My buddy won about $10k in Atlantic City the weekend before this started & he booked adjoining rooms for the first 3 nights. We had a blast. Shows then late nights partying in NYC.
Some really great music was played. Excellent pics as always Tony. Thanks.
Remember this story? This article was from Page Six of the NY Post. The NY Daily News had the headline "Phil Lesh Smokes the Lion King."

What a great time. Lots of fun with lots of zoners. And my buddy ran in his 20th actual nyc marathon sometime during all that. Wasn't that when "the lion king" got smoked out upstairs?

Funny thing about that is
Funny thing about that is they really only seemed to enforce the no smoking until intermission. It was pretty much a free for all after that. It all changed by the next year however.

Its now called the Playstation Theater.
I try to avoid it now. The security there has become impossible. The pat down and frisking is worse then going thru customs at JFK!
Too bad, its not a bad room to see a show.

It really was a good place
It really was a good place for a show. I saw King Crimson there in 2011 & the sound was incredible. I almost didn't recognize it with seating on the floor.
I need to go back & listen to some of those shows. I thought Steve Molitz fit in really well with Phil. Amazing keyboard player.

ya, i think it was show
ya, i think it was cpl shows after marathon day, when molitz went off on that "egyption theme" crazed boogie beat tune...into what i blv was then called "particle jam" for lack of a title....the floor in front of stage was just insane...prob most fun dancing at a Phil Show since Lupos....it just seemed like everyone in whole bldng was trippin on same wavelength...or whatever...but, the whole floor was laughing and dancin at same time..it was a night ill never forget...
also, a friend of mine, in recovery, who had quit drinking for cpl years, was running marathon next day (w one leg he was born with and all). So he relapses this night before im at Nokia, and i find out about it...and between his sister and i, we make damn sure he s still gonna show up next morning....hungover as shit, and run marathon....lol, ya, we were pretty mad at him to say least (sister was like his trainer and had him at a hotel in city), so, he ran race....finished it somehow, and hasnt had a drink since...just an absolute wild , fun , and crazy couple of daze in nyc w Phil....and friends

thanks tony! i forgot that..
thanks tony! i forgot that...we started seeing it within a day, or days as "elevetor" , and instantly new it was a particle song, thus (hence) the particle jam name ....for all i know it may have only been the crowd on the floor that night calling it particle jam...that whole run is kinda a blur, and runs together in my mind as 2-3 shows, when it was 9...
i was at 10/31 nov 1, 2 7...that i know of...lol...i may have gone to one more

Trying to remember what year
Trying to remember what year we held the Philathon blood and donor registration drive. Maybe in 2008.
SIHead, Delia, Ferbel (who couldn't donate but who came to hang out), Me, LadySI, JLP... can't remember who else...

"Ham & Eggs!"
"Ham & Eggers!"
That's what I remember, and quite a few other zoners bagging on this band.
But that's a continuing "zone" stapple, bagging on who Phil is playing with.
It took a little while, but I actually ended up really liking that band.
I liked Jackie better then than I do now.
But I do miss Larry Campbell.

I managed to sneak back stage
I managed to sneak back stage one night, and it was just me and Ryan back there until Ryan realized that I didn't belong and he personally kicked me out of the backstage area :)

"..., and it was just me and Ryan back there until Ryan realized that I didn't belong..."
It sounds liek, a Kool story, but probably a different Year. I didn't go every night, so maybe there were Ryan appearances.
Won't argue over Ryan being there, or not. I just think it was a different Year or venue.

He actually didn't touch me, he went and got the security person that was supposed to have kept me out of there in the first place and then escorted me out. It was a year or so after the big zone meltdown over him, and I was sort of surprised to see him as well. That was the only year I was at the Nokia for Phil, he did sit in on 11/5/07 apparently, at least according to the setlist above. Should have asked for a selfie :)

True that. In the beginning there was a certain something that was able to inject into P&F. Now I somewhat dread seeing him on a bill.

Ryan was not in the band, but he also joined in the fun during the third set on 11/2.
The 2nd set was also way fun. It was an acoustic set, with Phil playing a stand up bass.

People ragged on this band
People ragged on this band all the time...some things never change ..even on the new zone...calling for the days of ham and eggs...I guess we will have to wait 10 years for peeps to give the past run it's due...or 2023 for the 2013 Cap run...and so on..
