I cannot wait to see the looks on the faces of all the n00bs and haters.
" went down to the guitar store and I bought myself some things Then I went home to fix this guitar to see if it could sing. When I got done I plugged it in but it made no sound at all. So I was gettin pretty pissed and I plugged it into the wall.
Guess its not a signing type, it would rather yell and spit. If you dont think youll like this guitar then youre really askin for shit! `cause when I get mad, I get red, and then I start to steam. And this guitar is gonna fuck your face `cause it knows how to scream!"
This video is sooooo incredibly bad ass. It makes me so happy. Neil rockin out so hard with Trey that his hat flies off. Man...this is the jam.
You're right, that video is real f*cking bad ass. I love seeing Neil wailing on one of Trey's Languedocs. If there's a cooler individual ever to grace a stage than Neil Percival Young, I would like to see him.
6/18: Phish in Hartford 6/25: Phish in Camden 7/2-7/4: Nateva 7/17: God Street Wine at Irving Plaza 7/23-7/25: String Cheese at Red Rocks!! 8/17-8/18: Phish at Jones Beach 9/3: Rush at PNC

Love that video. Trey looks like he's havin the time of his life. I'll probably get killed for this, but I have always despised Neil's solos. I love his songwriting but I have never heard him play a fluid solo. They're always choppy, especially when compared to Trey who's probably the most fluid player I've ever heard.

Haha yes they're always a little choppy, to say the least. I always thought Steve Stills was a few pegs above Neil when it came to guitar playing.

^^It's been mentioned a little bit here and there. I think it's a small chance at best... although I certainly wouldn't mind!
I just find it hard to believe that, after the heckling the Flaming Lips got for talking a lot about politics and things relevant to the world today, that Roo is the best place for Trey to go on rants about a fictitious world called Gamehenge inbetween songs.
I would, however, absolutely love a Gamehenge in Knoxville! ;D

I wasn't at the whole show so i'm going on just what i've read/heard but.............I think the problem most people had with the Flaming Lips ranting was that it kept going on and on and he kept talking. It wasn't really the subject matter they complained about.......it was the lack of music during the rants.
Correct me if i'm wrong, please.........but that's what i've heard.
And honestly....if Phish were on the stage i'm sure many would listen to anything Trey is saying. He could read The Great Gatsby and phans would be going nuts.

True. Also, I'm sure that since it's 'roo and not Phish's own festival, there will be many people unfamiliar with with Gamehenge who will definitely be like wtf?
Nothing would send the newbs running for the hills like Gamehenge. I should know, im an uber noob and one of the first things I listened to was I think New Years eve 95 cd which featured some gamehenge stuff and it was almost enough to make me write the band off. Luckily it didnt and now I love Phish.

Also, there's a difference between telling a story inbetween songs that ties the set together, and hearing some idiot ramble on about how much he hates Bush and how Obama rulez! and sh*t. If Wayne was telling a story that weaved together all the songs from Yoshimi or something, I bet people wouldn't be upset.

That is a valid point, and it could possibly go over quite well but I still tend to think the average Roo crowd is relatively intolerant when it comes to talking, or narrating. I'd love to see Phish prove me wrong, though!

You are correct about the FLips show and the ramblings going on and on. I guess after looking at a show I have of Phish where they play through Gamehenge the longest narration segment only lasted 4 minutes or so, so maybe it would go over better if the talking is separated into 7 or 8 different 2-5 min parts with 10 minute jams inbetween. Sounds reasonable enough.
Either way, it's not the phans at Roo that I'm worried about how Gamehenge would go over. Clearly they would love it. But it's the people in the crowd who are relatively new to Phish and especially to Gamehenge, and those who think the King of Prussia is just some oversized mall or something ;D
I wouldn't want them to play Gamehendge at Roo. It would send all the n00bs and haters off to talk about how all Trey did was ramble and talk about weirdish. They don't need to get nerdy at Roo, they just need to lay it down something serious. I want nothing more than to see some of the kangs around here talking about how Phish rocked their world at Roo.

and what's the problem with that? let all the haters and noobs walk away complaining. that leaves more room for the people who would really enjoy seeing something epic like that. I doubt they'll play it but it would be cool.
You shouldn't worry about others are thinking about a show......you should be worrying about what you think about a show.

Amazing: Phish, Bruce, Amadou & Mariam, Vieux Farke Toure, Rodrigo y Gabriela, Wilco, NIN Good to great: Animal Collective, NIN, Jimmy Buffet, King Sunny Ade, Tobacco, MGMT, Passion Pit, Kraak & Smack Glad to have seen: Oakenfold, Grizzly Bear, Beastie Boys, of Montreal, Snoop Dogg
i think a Kung like two or three songs into the set would light that place on fire for the rest of the night (especially with the calling of the Gamehendge gods, might open a riff in the space time continuum!)
