Julius

They've been playing the shit out of Julius, which is good. I would be quite pleased to hear it at OSL.

Since they played it tonight, we might very well get it at OSL.

[TallGuyCM]

Yes. Great show. Don't know when I'll be able to see them again, but this one will stay with me for awhile. And yeah, DWD was a great opener. I think they opened one of their sets with it at Festival 8 too.

[TallGuyCM]

Oh and the Talking Heads cover was fucking fantastic. Definitely one of the highlights.

[emtgreg]

Incredible show. Probably the best of the year for me. (until Portishead)

[greghead]

Opening with DWD always sets such a weird mood, I'm really sorry I missed that. Set 2 jam looks incredible. And Julius for the encore? Fuck me. I will be downloading this one.

[MuseRadio]

Was my first Phish show...had always wanted to see them. Overall, fantastic show...combined between sets 1 and 2 they played for just about 3 hours!

The cover of CrossEyed and Painless was stunning.

[kyleuga]

It was a show with a lot of highs and lows, but well played overall.

Mike's Song was easily the highlight of the night for me, they crushed it. But sucked out all of the momentum by going into Joy after....

The jam outta GBOTT was killer and Wilson>Axila was rocking.

I love Carini in the 2nd set opener and they went off from there, really strong to start.

BOTH Talking Heads covers were solid, C & P for sure the better of the 2.

Kuroda's play with the lights off the bowl was badass, he was having a blast with that for sure.

I question some of the song placement more than anything, but again, I had still had a lot fun.

I can be a little critical sometimes, but I know what these guys are capable of...Last night was show #66 for me.

Museradio, really makes me happy you enjoyed your first show. That was a perfect show for someone who had never seen them before.

I am already in Tahoe and will report back on how the next 2 nights go, I think we are going to be in for a treat up here.

[fikus222]

I remember being very surprised when I found out that Cities was a Talking Heads song.

Here's another pro-shot video from the Gorge:

[TallGuyCM]

I remember being very surprised when I found out that Cities was a Talking Heads song.

Ohhh yeah that's right. I knew it sounded familiar.

[Aphxtwinin]

anyone going to the co dates?

my gf and I, friday in the field and sat in the stands

[kyleuga]

Last night was awesome!! 2nd set is soooo good. The jam outta Light is perfect and Walls of the Cave was an absolute monster. Hood and Slave are 2 favorites of mine as well. Page did a good job with Rocket Man, not an easy song to sing. And a perfect encore to close out it.

Very cool show.

So long as I get Timber (Jerry), I don't care what else I hear on Friday. So, I hope like hell they don't play it tonight in favor of playing it in the Park!!

[fikus222]

They played some of my favorites this evening; Halley's Comet, Sneakin Sally, Ya Mar, Ghost and When The Circus Comes To Town. They didn't play Timber (Jerry), so there's hope for Phriday!!

My highlights: [Fluffhead], Wilson, Moma Dance, I Am Hydrogen, Roses Are Free, Life on Mars, and both Tweezers.

[TallGuyCM]

Fluffhead!

[fikus222]

Oh, yeah Thanks Chris, I totally forgot how totally tight and amazing tonight's Fluffhead was.

[greghead]

Roses Are Free into Julius, and Fluffhead were my set 2 highlights. Shit was real nice.

[fikus222]

Joy from the Bowl

[fikus222]

I was just listening to the recording of OSL and I realized that night I got 4 songs I had never heard live before; Mound, Steam, Life On Mars? and Kill Devil Falls. So, even though I didn't get Timber (Jerry), four new songs more than makes up for that oversight on PHISH's part.

Pro-shot videos from Tahoe:

[sbessiso]

I cant stop thinking about that one thing that happened right after they finished their second set. You know what im talking about.

[Neighborhood Creep]

Shit yourself?

[fikus222]

I think it has something to do with the backside of someone's hand up side their faces
