The best laugh Phil ever gave me
Forums:
Today in my random music feed (I have a flash drive full of music plugged into my car) - the Bertha from Glens Falls PLF from 10/20/07, came up - from the show where the mayor gave Phil the key to the city. Twas a real hoot all around that show in so many ways. The time machine of them playing in a small upstate NY skating rink was most excellent. It was absolutely one of the top 5 LF shows I was ever at.
Anyway - Trey was in the Friends that night and it was special for him to be able to play this gig because his parole officer (or whoever with the court) let him play this show because he was within a certain mile radius of White Hall, NY where he had been arrested the year before driving back to Vermont.
They closed the first set with Bertha that night and despite of there being others singers in the band that night (like JGe), I'm positive Phil made sure Trey sang the lead on Bertha - just so he could watch the reaction of the crowd when Trey had to sing the lines "Test me, test me, why don't you arrest me, throw me in the jailhouse..." a mere 23 miles from the seen of the crime. I don't think I have ever laughed as hard at a PLF show as I did then. Good times. Thank you, Phil.

Trey broke out that goofy grin of his while singing that line. I think it gave him a good laugh as well.

It's a GREAT show - a fav for me. I believe Larry Campbell played on that one, making it even better.
Alabama Getway, Deal, Bertha, FOTD, lots of law or jail references in that first set. l remember Zoners noticing that right away. Laughing about Phil humorously busting Trey's balls. But a great show.
Hey, did ya'll see on the archive it's time to throw 'em some bucks, and your donation is tripled????

I remember Phil was hiding behind a speaker before the donor rap and they put the spot light on him and he made this strange kind of candid like pose of his profile. That was pretty fuckin funny.

My recollection of that show
My recollection of that show is of reading the comments about it on the zone in the days after. There were a bunch of "Wow, I've never liked Trey but THAT was really good!" posts, and it seemed that everyone who went thought it was a barn-burner.
Except Northernlites. If I remember correctly he fully bagged on Trey & the show.
I miss lites.
As for the best laugh Phil ever gave me, it was the "HEY PHIL, WHAT'S HAPPENING?!!?" moment at the Greek on 9/12/81, when the band was ready to do a 2nd encore but Phil was nowhere to be found. When Weir said, "On a count of three everybody say hey Phil, what's happening" the crowd roared it as one. It was so loud & clear people must have heard it on Market Street across the bay, and the sound of it in the venue blew my mind.
It may have been Bob who set it up but it was Phil's doing,

Just down the road from Glens
Just down the road from Glens Falls, at Saratoga in '85, when Phil and Bob were
harshing on a dude hanging off the balcony.
"There's 50,000 people waiting for you to get back in your seat man. You got any friends up there?"
Then of course came the "my dog has no nose" joke.
Funny scene, strong show.

I happened to know that guy from Montreal. Not the brightest bulb. All he ever said about it was: "It wasn't just me up there..." I think they were up in the rafters at SPAC.
So I guess he did have some 'friends' with him.

I never ever missed a show at
I never ever missed a show at Glens Falls CC, 1979, 1980, 1981, 1982 & 2007. That was a fun show. Yeah, I'd definitely like to hear a recording of it too. And what an adventure that night was also. As I got into Glen's Falls, parking on the street, my car died. I looked under the hood, saw the tension pulley had froze and shredded the serpentine belt. I called a tow truck, had the Saab towed over to a local dealer, took a cab to Albany Airport and rented a Hertz. I made it back to Glen's Falls in time for the beginning of the second song. Great show! When I got home, my wife looked at the new Impala and asked, where's the Saab. Quite the adventure, and very fortunate that it all worked out. I never did run into Robin or Bill at the Civic Center.

^^^^^^ a bunch of my friends
^^^^^^ a bunch of my friends were on that balcony at Saratoga in 85...i was up there pre show, and as it got packed , i went back to our "site" on the hill w 20 or so others. So, id guess there were about 10 ppl i know who were up there. it was a free for all, as anybody who was there knows...ppll were sneaking into show from every direction (including tons of ppl from some "river" or body of water, hill, and fenced area behind stage. It was very easy to get up to balcony before the show, and at differant times throughout first set, ppl "rushed" the three (2?)paved walkways to the balcony entrance..so, anyway, all the people on the balcony agreed it was more than one that was leaning over..it was just way too overcrowded , i blv the kid mentioned above (from canada, in Mosthighs post) and a few others were booted off balcony...or at least security got their shit together and tightened it down...at that point, everybody on field knew it was too crowded up there, as ppl were also basically hanging and waving backside (toward us on the hill) as well...
looking back its a miracle nobody was seriously hurt...
never miss a saratoga show!
**to this day, im still surprised when i go back and listen, lookup, or just think about those shows...83,84,85, all one nighters at Saratoga...but, as those that were there know....they seemed to last for days!! as a matter of fact, alot of those shows blur together as one long saratoga event..lol.... musta been the drive, or......;)

What a great memory! One of
What a great memory! One of my favorite shows ever
First night of the tour for me (maybe it was even the actual first show of the tour?) I wasn't planning on going the following night; it was 2007 so I still had a full set of spontaneity-squashing normal human responsibilities (FT job, 6-year-old & two teenagers at home, etc. etc.). But Glens Falls was so much fun that I "had to" juggle my plans around (& drive approximately a zillion extra miles) so I could make it to Syracuse.
That was before I became a member of the PZ so I didn't know any of you guys yet. Turns out, there were a lot of zoners at that show.

Phil was the headliner for
Phil was the headliner for the Mansfield ‘06 show when they were swapping with G.R.A.B each night. After the Box encore, Phil said “thank you all, god bless, goodnight and don’t forget the GRAB band coming on right now.... What am I saying?! This is it!"
