Hartford is an intresting venue. We arrived early and parked in one of the
main lots, which at best are intesting. The day was really hot. The mood
on lot was good, but very mellow. The cops and security allowed vending of
all kinds! As the sun went down we headed into show, this was bad news the
line to get in took over a half hour to get through. Phish went on shortly
after we found our spot on lawn. Punch opener is awesome way to start a
show. Ac/dc bag and Nicu back to back were really tight and jamming. After
this 3 song combo i thought they would slow it down a bit, but instead
kicked it up a notch with forbin/mockingbird, this was a total surprise to
me and loved it!! The rest of the set of birds, lawn boy, stash, i didnt
know and zero were great (with a new song middle of road in there).
Set 2 was just as great, this set felt like it was just one long jam that
came in and out of songs. Dwd>wilson>slave, piper>water in sky what a
jamming start to a set. The funk came out with ghost>psyco killer both
funky and super tight! Then they went into catapult followed by the big
bustout of icculus. Yem always ends a show in grand fashion and this
version did not dissapoint. Encore of guitar weeps is alright not my
personal favorite. All said this was an amazing show!! After the show the
lots were still going strong!!
