PHIL PHIL PHIL!!! =) SO GOOD!!

Theresa sure looks like she is having a good time

She does, I love Theresa, I think she brings great energy as well as great vocals. She was fantastic in Boston!

YES, YES, YES

I Can't Cry too much, but I will -LoL
I got to see them in MO & WI

Just Sad 2B Home

Nice smooth transitions, this band is getting to be one of my favorite iterations.

She does bring good energy to the band..... I did not care much for her vocals at the beginning of the tour but she has tightened them up since the tour has progressed.

you got to see an AMAZING Eyes if you were at Boston..... this one seems pretty solid but Boston blew my mind

Anyone here going to Myrtle beach on Wed?

I feel you GGl, all my friends are going to Rochester on Sat. But at least I'll get another does on at HOB in Myrtle beach.

Anyone here going Wednesday?

Boston WAS Amazing! I was listening to a nice Schoeps FOB of it this afternoon... whoo-daddy!
HCS>EYES>WHEEL... Phantastic!

The Revolution was another highlight in a night chock-full

I have been digging that run from unbroken chain till the end of the show!! I think Boston has been the best show of the tour so far IMO

Another Eyes>Wheel... sounded like Phil traversed back through the tail end transitional part of Franklin's, like when they come out of of a Frank jam...

Mmmm, love when Molo and Phil get that doubletime a-rolling!

I though wheel too at first maybe a little tease there then into UJB

Boston set two was choice. It's right up there with Chicago for show of the tour honors thus far, IMO.

Whoa, I'm tip-a-slipping, may need to ease back for a while... *o)

And of course that's what I heard E... the transitional Dm7 jam hint from UJB.

OH.... Forgot all about Chicago.... for full show I would agree that one does take the cake. For set 2 Boston is still on top of my list too.

I really wish Columbus would nat have had PA issues and some good tapes would have came out of it because it really was smokin' throughout. Passenger was just amazing, High time very tight, IMO best Bertha of the tour cumberland was JAMMED packed, and a stellar St. Stephen>other one>wheel>scarlet. that shows was filled with a lot of improv jams also since the guys had a lot of the equipment put away after the storms.

what is the proper term for the instrument Larry is playing now?

I thought it was a mandolin at first glance but it is much bigger

Wow, Chi looks MASSIVE!

This Mountains is gorgeous...

I thought it was a bouzouki. But I think they have smaller bodies with rounder backs.

hummm...... not sure...... this mountains is so chill. I love it

CHI-TWN DID TAKE THE CAKE...... Good Golly Miss Molly - Them Boys Rocked FIRE HOT in Chicago.

SUMMERFEST WI - DON'T LET ME DOWN!!!....... Whooooo Wheeeee - Hot Damn! Jackie a.k.a. My Little Hot Tamale, Melted Me, Down on My Little Knees w/ this one.

From a site about Larry's instruments: http://members.cox.net/larrycampbell2000/instru.ht m#A

...often confused with the bouzouki even among musicians who play these instruments.

Larry plays what is technically known as a cittern, but it's just as often referred to as an Irish bouzouki. The one he plays is made by Stefan Sobell.

UNBROKEN!!!

Thanks so much Tom I appreciate the info

Good to see you've bounced back GGL ;o)

I guess I gotta get me some Chi discs! And Rothburry discs... This set has been beautiful!

Phil is singing a ton in the second set, I wonder if Jackies throat is a little raw or something.

Tom I know there are AKG and Bussman tapes in cir. for chicago. both pretty good. those mics are not really my personal taste but well worth grabbing. If anyone knows of any Schopes, DPA, or Neuman tapes of chi. I would really appreciate it

These Unbroken jamz have just been so SICK ever since Molitz joined... Chain at Mtn. jam '07 they nearly blew us off the mountain!

>I wonder if Jackies throat is a little raw or something.

could be all those cigs taking a toll on his voice.

Yeah, it's just "Crab Cake Hard" not seeing so many shows... like i once was did.
Thanx QT Tom

I just Miss 'em Sooo Much Already! LoL

ALTHEA & Mts of the Moons Don't Help much!!!!! hee-hee LoL

Thx, I'll look for the AKGs in the meantime, they can turn out a very nice tape, I used to run them, though I agree, not my fav.

Still Vernon Downs Phish in '98 right before the great Lemon Wheel, AKG 480 >BeyeDynamic 100 turned out the best tape of the whole pit imho.

Very tight, accurate mids- and highs, not so much on the natural bass... thus, not ideal.

Course all those great tapees mad ein the 80's with the AKG Shotguns! Ol'Skool!

Jackie on the Speedway, for you GCL... sweet! he did this in his own set at Mtn Jam this year.

If you've never been (to Mtn jam), come next year, it's been great!

I totally agree with the AKG's I have heard killer tapes pulled by them but the bass is just no my style...... I am really liking a good mk4 or mk4+mk8 m/s tape right now. I am also really into the Milab vm44 tapes I have heard

BEEN THERE, DONE THAT TOM- COPS HAD A FIELD DAY W/ ME & MY CREW- BAD, BAD NEWS! Ran US OUT!!!!!
Had to get a Ho-dee (hotel)

Made the Best!!!!

Jackie on the Speedway, for you GGL.... NICE! Thanx Tom- Yr bringin' a smile to my face

Doesn't ">" indicate some sort of jam anyway? I never got the overuse of "jam" unless its to start a set or from a dead stop into a song.

Maybe it's just me...

Hmmm. I'd have to hear it again E... *o) Definitely a protracted segue into Mtns... then again it always seems to take longer getting there than it actually does.

There definitely was an exceptional amount of time spent in MOTM, most jammed out I remember hearing it.

I'm with Onthebus on this one... ">" comprises many a splendid thing.

to me > indicates seamless flow of one song to another could be called a jam but I know on a lot of phil setlists they have "jam" listed... I think mostly if it is just a pure improv jam and not necessarily a song "theme" extended jam..... that is always how I looked at it anyway. I am sure everyone sees it differently though

Yeah , I always thought > was enough unless it was something like the Molitz Jam thing a couple nights ago...

ok cool..... I will willingly remove the "jam" from my list....LOL upon further inspection I have noticed that most of the "jam" tracks listed are AUD setlists, and Phil's official list do not in fact list them.

Yeah, I think it's accurate when there is a clear theme, spontaneous re-harmonization, or cohesive moverment... the jam out of Wharf Rat from Watkins Glen Soundcheck... now that's a JAM!

"All we need is music, sweet music...."

Nice, been wanting to catch a Dancin'.

Good Intros:
"The Pride of SF, Jackie Green!
The Deity, John Molo!"

Hey, just in case anything happens to me, I wanna be an organ donor.

GGL, I have to admit, MJam and hunter in particular is a little rough on the entrance from the campground,but if you are in the hotees you are solid... Dunno, maybe i've reached that age where they don't hassle as much.

it's official..... another one in the books

Thanks PHIL & the whole gang..... thank you to iclips for bringing this into the living room

Hey, just in case anything happens to me, I wanna be an organ donor.>>>>> Got yr back Tom! I'm one too

Dancin' in CHICAGO!

Been mighty fine chattin with you folks.

Wonder how long til sts9... Ahh speak my dear old friend.... :o>

Thx GGL, got yours too ;o)

goodnight everyone...... nice chatting with all of you and hopefully we will get some nice tapes of this to relive it all.

Good Chatting E, I'll have to look for a sample of the Milab VM44 tapes... Any recommendations?

Also, just to plug a 2nd set... ON Center, Syracuse, 10/21, UN-fing-believable!!!

Thank you Phil!

Tom maybe check out Phi from mtn jam last year for a milab tape
should be on archive

Nice, thx again E, I actually need a copy of the MJ set, I was holding out for a SBD copy to surface, but it never has, at least for me... sweet, I'm gonna DL right now. Hope the set stands up to my exquisite memory of the event *o)

Thanx you All for a Wonderful Night - Special Shot Out to TOMMY BOY (hee-hee) The Speedway Dedication.... Made My Night! ;)

Dagan & Ekoostlkal Thanx So Much for Postin' the Set

Sweet Dreams to ALL! XoXo

Safe Travels to The Boys & Hot Mama in the Band & ALL Brothers & Sisters on the BUS!!!!

Phil - YOU ROCK MY WORLD! ALL YOUR BOYS & 1 HOT MAMA DO!
Hot Tamale.... YOU ROCK MY SOUL BABY ;) Keep on Keepin' on!

Tom..... I have all the of the sources on archive of that show and my personal fave is the B & K srource. Milab i 2nd fave. for that show. very good show with warren though. both tapes are nice, I would pick up both if you have the room.

Cool, I was looking at the B&K version too, they are not my fave mics for indoor shows, but outdoors where the bass has room to breathe, B&Ks can really show their muscle, our should i say, capture the muscle of well reproduced bass, and MJ does not skimp on power for reinforcement. 8o)

See you all futhur on up the road. *o)

PS - TOM, "Good to see you've bounced back GGL ;o)" ..... This Sooo Helped as well Tom You Rock!

Thanx Again Friend ;)

-GGL a.k.a. Sassy Catt - Meeeow

Tom, not sure if you are still around but I just looked up that mtn. jam again and realized pretty much all the top mics. can be compared right there.

B&K 4022
Nueman km184's

(just adding that TW sang Dancin')

That second set would have made a fantastic Grateful Dead show. Too bad it's only Phil & Friends.

nice Steven thanks for droping your 2 cents in on a Phil Lesh Fan website! Thanks again your awesome!

lol, name brand sluts

Now that Phil has played with Warren again, People who complain about no Warren will have to gripe about not being there.

any review w/warren?

Warren's rig was set up minutes b4 the band took the stage. He showed up back stage just in time to join the band for their "huddle" & "prayer". This is the first Phil show I've seen since the Q, so I was thoroughly impressed! Lucky to be there, lucky to catch Warren w/Phil. Mexican Girl really stood out, w/JAckie & Warren tearing it up. Althea was perfect!

I can't believe people are still posting comments like "...Too bad it's only Phil & Friends" WTF else is there?

Favorite shirt @ Rothbury >> "Bobby Fans Are People Too"

warren really helped this show get going early. i think he spurred larry on to play a little hotter a little sooner than normal. in the other shows i have seen with LC (7 or 8 shows with him in the lineup), it has always seemed like it took a while for him to get going...

i felt like warren's presence was pushing LC to step it up sooner than normal.

i have been very critical of warren in the past... i think i had an OD of warren in 2003/2004... but this was a really well done sit-in... i think having him start the show with them was perfect.

his guitar work on althea was pretty sweet IMO.
