dude on paper the Cuyahoga show looks outstanding. I want to hear The Lizards again so badly. my favorite composed trey solo.

Dude it was amazing. Granted I don't have any other real phish shows to base this off of but it was great! The whole second set was crazy. The place erupted when they started the lizards. The Tweezer/Tweezer Reprise got everyone moving too. The venue was really cool and all the people I met were really nice. I can't believe it has taken me this long to see them but they definitely got me hooked. I can't wait to see them again! Maybe I should be changing my username to Phishlove lol

^^^awesome pic, would love to see whatever else you got from the weekend.
so it was a really special weekend that my brain still hasn't fully processed. not even really sure what to say about it. I've tried to type a few things but the words just don't really capture it.
basically phish is my favorite band, they make me feel all kinds of different things in the best way, and i'm happy I can continue to see the for hopefully years to come.

I put 1 of Trey in the "wanna check out my photography" thread. I'll put a link to gallery and review in a few days when it is ready.
Very brief yet brutally honest review.
Sets 1-3 and 6 had brilliant individual song performances no flow
sets 4,5 and 7 added the flow
Highlights:
Ghost>Rock n Roll Slave Tweezer>Caspian Walls of the Cave 7th set start to finish
Lows: Secret set being worst kept secret ever shortish sets

S&SS > WTU? was my highlight of the weekend.
secret set was super duper obvious because of the massive speaker setup at the drive in, but the sound was so damn good it was worth having the secret being totally not a secret. I just refer to it as the "unannounced late night set".

At "It" we didn't even consider the possibility of there being a secret set so most of my crew and I missed all but the last 45 seconds after a mad sprint when word finally reached us. I feel if it is really secret it would make it more special and I'm willing to risk missing it for that to happen again

official
EDIT: a lot to consider here, Phish is giving a lot of love to the south. I'm already taking a good amount of time off in October for regular vacation and Voodoo. Would love to catch Charleston, Jacksonville, and Alpharetta. Nashville would be great but since they are midweek I'd have to take the whole week off.
and I am going to dicks. just bought field tickets for all three nights on a rere. pretty excited, it will have been over a year since magnaball, my last phish shows. still trying to figure out my fall plans.

Set 2: Crosseyed and Painless > Steam -> Piper[1] -> Drums[2] -> Jam > Light > The Lizards, First Tube
Encore: Walls of the Cave
[1] Trey on Marimba Lumina. [2] Trey on Marimba Lumina, Mike and Page on percussion.
Teases: · San-Ho-Zay tease in Weekapaug Groove · Crosseyed and Painless tease in Steam · Crosseyed and Painless tease in Piper · Crosseyed and Painless tease & quote in Jam · Crosseyed and Painless tease & quote in Light · Crosseyed and Painless tease & quote in First Tube · Crosseyed and Painless tease & quote in Walls of the Cave
Notes: This show was webcast via LivePhish. Trey teased San-Ho-Zay during Weekapaug and teased Crosseyed during Steam, Piper, Light, First Tube and Walls of The Cave. Piper featured Trey on Marimba Lumina. The jam out of Piper segued into a Fishman-driven and inspired improvisation featuring Trey on Marimba Lumina and Mike and Page on percussion. The jam after the drums improvisation included Crosseyed teases and quotes. Light, First Tube, and Walls Of The Cave also included Crosseyed quotes.
missed Friday show due to a flight being pushed back so far we'd miss our connection flight. landed in denver friday night during the show. friday looked awesome, saturday was awesome, but the sunday show (above) is what everyone will remember years from now. that second set was absolutely incredible.
a few song times from LP to illustrate the length of the jams:
off the charts energy the whole show, just roaring transcendent playing the whole time, every band member pushing forward relentlessly, and the crowd responded in kind, the place was going bonkers. and then The Lizards, oh boy. when I heard those first notes I screamed a profanity and immediately the tears came. a stranger put his hand on my shoulder and we hugged.

PHISH SUNDAY 10/16/2016 JACKSONVILLE VETERANS MEMORIAL ARENA Jacksonville , FL
SET 1: Kill Devil Falls > The Moma Dance > Back on the Train, Undermind, Nellie Kane, Stash, Petrichor, Mike's Song > Bouncing Around the Room, Weekapaug Groove
SET 2: Crosseyed and Painless > Steam > Piper > Wingsuit, Sparkle > The Wedge, Wading in the Velvet Sea > Run Like an Antelope
ENCORE: The Ballad of Curtis Loew, Character Zero
Went with my long-time Phish companion and another friend who had never seen Phish, nor any jamband before. Fun 6 hour drive from Mobile which involved lively conversation and no shit, a near 3 hour discussion strictly of Game of Thrones, as my long-time Phish companion just started watching it and is in season 2.
Two songs into the first set all three of us were hitting our nicotine vapez, and my two friends both get pulled aside by a police officer, who tells them they can either go to jail or leave the show. GO TO JAIL, for vaping nicotine. Newbie friend wanted to argue but long-time Phish companion knows the drill with cops and shows, and kept newbie calm as they were escorted from the arena. They sit outside in dismay for all of 3 minutes when a guy walks up and miracles them back into the show. They missed two songs, and the funny thing is the miracle tickets were in the 100 section, they stubbed me down and we ended up with much better seats.
Show itself was "fun", which means it was a fairly standard Phish show, nothing particularly mind-boggling happened musically. But a great time was had by all. My newbie friend had an absolute blast, and he literally knows the names of two Phish songs, "2001" and "Roses Are Free", neither of which is technically a Phish song. It's a rare and fun thing to turn somebody on to Phish, and in my experience very unusual for somebody to lock in and "get it" in their first show.
EDIT: forgot highlights. c&p > steam > piper, piper ran 18 minutes, wasn't a super cohesive jam but was still really cool. Sparkle was incredibly tight and bonkers, The Wedge was great. Was SO excited my newbie friend got an Antelope at his first show, I think everybody's first show should have an Antelope.
Hearing Petrichor live for the first time was a treat, and they played it well.

PHISH, TUESDAY 10/18/2016 ASCEND AMPHITHEATER Nashville , TN Soundcheck: Jam, Blues Jam, Tide Turns, Petrichor, Walking Blues
SET 1: Chalk Dust Torture, Blaze On, Ghost, Lawn Boy, Halley's Comet > Sand, Tide Turns, 46 Days > Breath and Burning, Limb By Limb > Cavern > Also Sprach Zarathustra
SET 2: Julius > Fuego > My Friend, My Friend, Samson and Delilah[1], Twist[2] > Miss You[3], West L.A. Fadeaway[3] > Playing in the Band[4]
ENCORE: Quinn the Eskimo
[1] Phish debut; Bob Weir on guitar and vocals. [2] Bob Weir on guitar. [3] Bob Weir on guitar and vocals. [4] Phish debut; Bob Weir on guitar.
Whew, stings a bit to have missed this one. Bob Weir is my all-time favorite vocalist, and Phish sit-ins in the 3.0 era are almost unheard of, other than the occasional horn section for Halloween, Page McConnell's dad, or Abe Vigoda. And I don't think Phish has done a Dead tune in something like 16 years. I gotta hear Bobby singing "Miss You", I know it's gunna break my heart.
I at least considered taking a full week off of work to do the full Jax > Nashville x2 > Alpharetta x2 run, but it just wasn't feasible given my work load.
