My Phish Review
Forums:
Since 1992, I’ve seen Phish twice: Coventry and the Irene Relief concert in Essex. Coventry sucked ass, and Essex May have been okay, but I was preoccupied with being flooded. I hit up Albany on Wednesday.
As a non-fan, I can say that I had a great time. They were extremely high energy and they got the arena rocking. When everyone is up, dancing and smiling, it’s hard to not have fun.
I was expecting a bunch of noodling jams, but those never came. They were more hard driving than than I was counting on, and I wasn’t complaining. I’ll admit, I didn’t “get” some of the jams, but it seemed like almost everyone else did, and they played them really well. When I wasn’t so in to the music, I just watched the lights, which were a show into themselves. In the context of the music being a background for the lights, it was perfect.
All in all, it was totally chill and I had a great time dancing with old friends. The music doesn’t move me like the GD, but they rock and put on a great show. There’s a constant energy that’s infectious.
Bottom line: it was friggin’ fun

Not sure about that, but a 20-lb. CO2 tank is just the little two-foot tall one used by Homebrewers and anybody serving fountain Soda.
So that was probably just for personal / automotive use.

Velvet Sea is an interesting tune. They put it in the same slot as a Stella Blue would go, but it sure ain’t Stella! It was nice to have a break from the standard stuff, though.

Hey BK I share a similar
Hey BK I share a similar perspective to the band. I've seen them probably 5 or 6 times now and consider myself a very casual fan. Often times though I feel like I'm on the outside of a giant inside joke that I'm not a part of but it's OK. I like not being so invested in something emotionally or whatever- just a band for me to get high and freak to occasionally.

Nothing wrong with it at all. I tend to get way obsessed with things I'm interested in and I was just making an observation that it's nice enjoying something I'm not irrationally passionate about. I enjoy being rational sometimes.

Thought both Hampton shows were strong performances. Tonight should be a good one as well.
