I think I just saw one of the most amazing shows
ever! It was the opening show for their spring tour on 4/5/12 at the Wang Center. The boys came out so strong and really brought it to the table. Bob was amazing and totally took control of the night. They opened and set the mood with
Playing in the Band and after that I knew we were in for a great night.. The first set was kinda mellow with a good build up with songs like
Brown Eyed Women into
They Love Each Other and ending the set with
Hell In A Bucket. Intermission was a mob scene and I was puddled so I didn't make it too far from the seats lol, I sent the woman out into the swarm for a $5 water lmao.
Now the second set, OMFG, I think my mind is still somewhere at the Wang lol. I believe life changing is the word I'm looking for and I've thought before... They opened the second set with
St. Stephen!! into
Cosmic Charlie which were frickin awesome to hear. After cosmic charlie I knew it was about to get deep... When The Dead sings "go on home your mommas callin you", you know something big is about to go down.. An amazing
Mountain Song was next followed by
The Wheel!!! into an
epic Uncle John's Band!!!!! After that they went into the most amazing jam of
King Solomon's marbles and
Black Peter. I'm talking a long, long, roller coaster jam putting us all through the wringer. They brought us all back to our senses with
Shakedown Street <3 into Not Fade Away and we did
the you know my love will not fade away hand clap.
You guys have to listen to the full show, it was so beautiful and they sent such a message. I will post some highlights but listening to it from beginning to end would put a better perspective on it. Words cant explain the emotion that they conveyed. Its almost like they were saying, "
fuck you Phish, you aint got shit on that" They had such an amazing night, I am so glad I got to experience it with them.
