If you didn`t take a look at the guest list look now. Jeff and Tom were on stage. Jeff Holdsworth got to rock out his originals along with a sweet cover of fire that blew my mind. Last night was one of the tighest shows I`ve heard in a while. Gordons solo was amazing. To sum it up, Jeff Holdsworth may be the coolest writer alive.

What an amazing show! As a Phish Phan for ten years it was a joyous moment to see Holdsworth walk out on stage. He held his own with the band and everybody on stage was as happy as I`ve ever seen them.


This show is the definition of "Epic!"

Wow, I thought the BT sees were coming out quick! The dust at the Pepsi Arena has barely settled. Looks like another smoker in what is turning out to be a really sweet run of shows. Bring on Boston!!!!

What a fun show this was. I don`t think Sparkle has been played since 2000 but I could be wrong... Wolfman`s turned into a rock jam instead of funk but it was grandiose and very good...Good Times Bad Times sounded very good...Set 2: Tweezer into 2001 to YEM? Unreal folks. The energy was HUGE. I was hoping they`s play Camel Walk and Fluffhead. I couldn`t believe when they playerd Camel Walk, and with Jeff H--has he played with them since he quit the band? I don`t think so...please correct me if I`m wrong. I knew he wrote Possum but not Camel Walk...anyway Jeff sounded OK, a little off on the mic but it was fun. Then they play Long Cool Woman...NEVER thought I`d see that! Then the encore was Fire, it was alright; definitely a lot better than a mellow closer! Can they possible top this show tonight in Boston?

This show will go down as the most overrated show of all time. The music on it is played w/ a laziness not seen since the february tour. The song selection (especially in the first set) is as 2003 generic as it gets. It`s like a cliché of a set...chalkdust, stash, guyute....***yawn***
Jeff holdsworth, while a huge figure in the history of phish, doesn`t really have much to contribute these days...go ahead and flame away, but i was at the show, and i`m not going to let a bunch of gimmicks fool me into thinking this was a good show. it was a waste of money...i am not sure how much longer i`m going to shell out $45 a ticket for a show that they have set on autopilot.

Fantastic! The Boys floored me last night. There was not one disapointment through each set. The grin that has my cheeks still hurting was ear to ear with the first lick of Chalk Dust. CANT I LIVE WHILE IM YOUNG, exactly how i was feeling- in my tender 24 years. Always an excellent opener. I found the show off the hook and classic. They poured the FUNK on in Wolfman`s like i had never heard. Lyrics through the night were tight.. except i think Jeff Holdsworth through Possum could have been a little stonger. Jeff was truely a pleasent surprise. He added to the amazing talent that flowed from the stage. The lights were top knotch as always *thank you* 2nd set- phenomenal tweezer. Extreme energy. Its been years since I got a 2001, pure crowd pleaser! What can i say about YEM. It ripped through me and pieced me back together. The ultimate feel good jam. My groove was full bore. They filled everyone with deep funk. Fishman layed the beat with tight precision. The funk Gordon ripped out kept the place bouncing, while Trey wailed through my head. The incredible intensity and high energy that resinated @ the Pepsi Arena last night sits with me as an unbeatable, over the top perfomance. I walked in a little broken- now ive got my fix. ~WoOt WoOt~
