Great show!

First set started off good but ended with straight fire.  The Slipknot featured incredible playing by Phil ($ dropping bombs all over the place $).  Tommy Hamilton is a very creative player with a tone reminiscent of mid-seventies Jerry.  Starting in Tennessee Jed, you could see him really coloring outside of the lines and adding unique flourishes to each song.  This continued throughout the whole show culminating into a Dark Star jam which seamlessly incorporated entire sections of other songs and parts of his own making.  The entire second set felt fresh and exploratory.  Looking forward to the Medeski blues show in December!

 

 

Thanks for sharing.

 

I've heard from others that the show was top notch.

Any recordings? Looks like a fun lineup.

It was an amazing show 

hope a recording shows up 

Watched/listened to Set II - quite enjoyable.

Holly Bowling has really long arms.

Best Phil show in a long time! Holly Bowling is amazing. I would love to see this line up at the Cap.

Koford is stepping up his game.

Switch out RMFJ with - oh, I don't know - Sless! and you'd have quite a band.

id say koford still sounds lost and can't sing and drum-quite amateur. holly bowling sounds good tho.

pretty much 3 people on stage should be taken off-ross/koford/graham-not entirely awful for phil and jill being so cheap. 

Sless doesn't tease all the other songs that T-Ham teases. 

Do you all like the Phish style teases in improv? 

i don't.

not a fan of t-ham, but he is definitely way more talented than ross or graham or the dishwasher.

niceee thank you!  

Holly's a pleasant addition to PLF, she sounds great.  Love hearing the Phil croon on Lazy River Road.
