nice!!

that show was amazing...i'm fucking glad i was there.

 

i saw them a couple days before that in raleigh nc and phil and friends tore the stage up. i was a little disappointed that trey didnt sit in with phil or vise versa but kick ass versions of tennessee jed, friend of the devil and the weight kept me happy.
i didnt really expect trey and mike and the BRduo to play any phish shit but mike played great all night and at times when the jams got really heavy and intense it sounded very phish-esque. so overall it was a pretty bitchin night of music.

 

phil and friends ......... oh yea .......... T Minus 20 hours and counting till show time!

 

the best part is when they're supose to go back into st. stephen but phil shakes his head "no" to the band and trey just continues wailing sick notes out.

 

goddamn that was good! and timeoutofmind, i feel the same way! i love when phil shakes em off, so trey can keep it going...damn that was hot! wish i could of been there...

 

Trey sounds good when he's not in GRAB.

 

GRAB is really good, they just need to stop playing songs from the album SHINE. the jams off the songs are always awesome, but in general that album blows. they should just be playing TAB, PHISH, Benevento/Russo Tunes....and then other obscure stuff....

 

If you think their jams are 'awesome,' you must have eaten a bit of molly.

 

They didn't set out to really jam on this tour, FYI.

Trey and Mike said it was more lyrical and not so much instrumental.

 

I've read the interviews and seen the band. Also listened to shows I wasn't at. The songs are poppish and generic. The jams (although the jams aren't the main point there were still a bunch of attempts) are boring and often go nowhere except degrading into noise. It was like they were all stumbling over each other. I guess they just need more time to get it together. I won't waste my time seeing them practice at $40+ a ticket ever again though until I hear for myself they've gotten better. bt.etree.org you can get grab shows.

At PNC everybody was up and grooving for Phil. When trey came out a few people stood up, most of them sat down soon thereafter, I was one of those. By a few songs in, masses were filing out of the place. I actually stayed til about the second to last song in hopes that it would get better, but it didn't. The friend I was with had the same opinion. I left that show heavily disappointed (not in phil who stole my face!!) and called my buddy who's seen trey probably like 125+ times to tell him about the awful disappointment that is GRAB. At least I got a dank veggie burrito in the lot on the way out. I probably would have eaten like five of them, fuckin bomb burritos but I couldn't find those heads again lol. But anyways the next day at SPAC I went with that friend who's heard the magic many many times and he felt the same way that I did. I got screwed the next day so I coudln't make it out to hartford where my tickets were waiting at will call, that sucked. But anywho yea that's how I feel about GRAB. I don't think I'll go watch them at 10kl, but who knows. Depends on who else is playing in that time slot and how tired I am. Hopefully they've gotten it together by then.

 

It's all about the mr. charlie from 6-27. Wow. so sick.

 

I saw the show and i have to say that Phil lesh and friends was a huge dissapointment. Wihle trey is getting gayer by the day there were still some songs (not off Shine) that mike, trey, and the duo did that sounded sick. WIth that being said phil lesh and friends was terrible. Hes doing nothing new and living off the glory of the grateful dead. His band was below average, his guitarist wouldnt stop soloing, and that gurl was just out of place.

 

man you could not be anymore wrong...

 

i would say bob's ratdog is more guilty off living of the dead's glory. this lineup of phil and friends may not be as talented as some of the older incarnations that featured steve kimock, warren haynes, jimmy herring, and derek trucks for a while, but it is still a solid band regardless.

 

agreed.

 

Ratdog kind of sucks. They're good sometimes. But when I go see Phil, I go cause I love the grateful dead and want to see one of the surviving members, my favorite besides jerry, play grateful dead music. It doesn't even sound like GD though he puts his own twist at first I didn't even like Phil but then I realized hey this isn't the dead quit listening to it expecting it to be the dead... then I liked it. And joan I would say is not out of place. Her voice is incredible, and I only really wished she didn't sing on althea.... and plus she'd get it.

 

I mean im not really a dead head or anything so its not as magical just seeing Phil Lesh for me. But i just didnt think it was that good of a show. Phil lesh's guitarist was real bad and kept on soloing during trey's solos when they played together (i dno that just didnt seem right to me I mean its Trey). And Phil Lesh was just chillen in the back not really doin anything. There were a few good moments (terapin station and st stephens) and the highlight of the show was all along the watchtower with trey. But besides that it seemed like it was just the guitarist soloing the whole time, that girl like humming along to the music, and Phil Lesh just there so people would show up. No disrespect tho its probably just a generational thing.

 

ROFL stop riding trey's dick, you didn't even listen if you think phil doesn't do anything. Last show I went to and brought someone who isn't a deadhead was pretty amazed by his bass playing. IDK man you play music?

 

Im glad that you like to use fun internet abreviations like ROFL, but with that being said...Im not on Trey's dick at all and Mike is alot better than Phil Lesh. Im just saying that Trey Mike and the duo is alot better of a show than Phil Lesh and friends. The musicians arnt as talented and the songs are starting to get played out (No direspect Europe '72 is the SHIIIT). If your friend was amazed by Phil Lesh he must of been blown away by Mike. I just feel Phil hasnt done anything to grow as an artist for quite sometime. But I dno do you play music...man?
