Phish @ Albany NY (Sep 8 & 9, 2000)
|
Albany always rocks- it's apparantly one one Phish's favorite venues, to say nothing of the Dead (back when it was called the Knickerbocker Arena- a much cooler name if you ask me). Look for me stumbling around the venue, at the meet in the park, or sitting here. You can also check out | |||

9/9/99 [after show #1]: I've got two words for you: Wow! I absolutely cannot believe that that was the first show of the tour. I was MASSIVE! People always knock the first show of any tour because the band's a little stiff; it takes them a few shows to get into the grove of things. But this show… oh my god! The walked on stage, grabbed the audience by the scruff of its collective neck, and ripped through 3.5 hours of some of the most intense music I've ever heard. This may as well have been a middle or end of tour show for all of the nuances and segues, and deep deep funks they broke out. If the rest of the tour is even remotely close to this, this will undoubtedly go down as one of the most massive tours ever. 9/08/2000 Pepsi Arena - Albany, New York Set I:Mellow Mood*, Limb by Limb, Ghost, Bouncing Around the Room, Horse > Silent in the Morning, I Saw it Again**, NICU, Glide, Axilla ***, Taste, Golgi Apparatus Set II: Birds of a Feather, Windora Bug, David Bowie, Back in the Chicken Shack, Bathtub Gin ->Ambient Jam^ -> Bathtub Gin, Character Zero Encore: Fire Show began with a "Mike's" tease and a crowd roar. * first time played, probably from Bob Marley's 1981 album "Chances" ** Trey thanks the crowd *** "Axilla (I)" lyrics with "Axilla II" ending The setbreak CD, which included the theme to "Greatest American Hero", had a scratch and was skipping ^ 7.5 minutes long, with Henrietta on vacuum and Trey on drums | |||
