Well, it's that time of the year again, and Phish summer tour has begun in Bethel, NY. I'm not sure if there are any other phans out there (besides
blankwaters, of course), but is there any ATSers hitting any shows soon? I will be picking the tour up in Mansfield and following it until I'm broke
or it ends. Here is the rundown so far:
Friday, 05/27/2011
Bethel Woods Center for the Arts, Bethel, NY
Set 1: Tweezer > My Friend, My Friend, Poor Heart, Roses Are Free > Funky Bitch, Wolfman's Brother[1] -> Walk Away, Stash, Bouncing Around the Room,
Kill Devil Falls, Bold As Love
Set 2: Carini > Back on the Train, Boogie On Reggae Woman > Waves > Prince Caspian > Crosseyed and Painless > Wading in the Velvet Sea > Possum, The

Saturday, 05/28/2011
Bethel Woods Center for the Arts, Bethel, NY

Encore: A Day in the Life
[1] With Manteca teases and quotes.
[2] With lyrics referencing several band members' houses (and Trey's favorite show, House).
Here is a clip from last night's Quinn the Eskimo, it gives a decent idea of the rock n roll side of the band.
And here is one of their classics. Caution: Highly sophisticated music ahead. Not for those who can't handle music that isn't in 4/4 time.

Nice. There should be a lot of custy money going around. I'm looking forward to the festival especially. I will be selling beer all along the way
to try to pay for some gas and tickets. Tour is a lot more expensive these days than it used to be.
