Well I wasnt at these shows...thanks scalper friendly ticketing system...but I did find a few bootleg videos and they are definatly the best bootleg vids Ive ever seen. I usually dont download illegal material but until Phish steps up and gets PTBM back or anything to curve the scalpers getting tickets I dont care anymore. For thier first shows in 5 years they sounded pretty damn good and the light show is great too.

For the 1st time since I was @ this show, I listened to it today. After the listen, I went and started reading the "reviews" & posts. Kinda suprized at how some people were so critical. The most surprizing was the comparisons to previous years.
This is a whole new Phish. Phish has kinda reinvented itself. A clean and sober Phish. We arn't gonna get the Phish of old, and I hope people are realizing this. Plus, I find people who are soooo critical of these, or this show, kinda, well, stupid and narrow-minded. What did you expect? Perfection? Please! Not ever gonna happen. EVER! Phish has never been about perfection. That's why we love them, right? They arn't, and we arn't perfect. That's why we love them. They make mistakes just like us, and it's supposed to be funny and likeable.
Now, on to the music! Maze. When that song was played I thought at the time it was THE BEST MAZE EVER! Well, after this listen, I must retract. It didn't come off that way. Maybe the CK5 lighting gave it much more. IDK. But, DWD? OMG! Whadda version! Great. Phantastic. A must hear. That Undermine was the best version of that song live. Phunky, and kinda reggae like. Contact. Geezus krimeny. Started off just as it should, then, BAM! Phunk, phunk phunk. Great again! Sanity opener. Need I say more? I love the Trey lryics in Sanity, I lost my mind just a couple of times....Yes I Did! Overall the show is solid. After not playing together live in front of an audience for nearly 5 years, and this show closing out a 3 night run, it was about as good as you could expect from Phish. I really didn't have any expections going into this show. But, with the lack of them, all of them were fulfilled. Does that make sence?
P.S. Keytar........I love you with the keytar Page. Please, more Keytar.

Easily the best night of Hampton.

Twist>2001>Moma Dance is the best jammin and segues of the weekend and a glimpse into the potential of 3.0 as genuinely turning a page in the jam arsenal this band unleashes. So stoked for Deer Creek and Alpine. There's a reason they end the first tour at Alpine and I can't wait. Thank you thank you thank you!

Incredible show!!! Just a side note, this was the first live Undermind performed by Phish (at least according to PT). I can't even begin to describe how amazing this show was to me-best show I've ever been to by far!!!!

yo, the sound was awsome in there! hampton that is. whoever was talking about trey using what or whatever effect is NITpicking. he was loud, for one thing. my quick lowdown, is that a) page was way up in the mix, which was nice. b) trey was the MVP(big surprise). c) Mike was not as loud as he could've been, but you could hear him quite well in there at hampton(there were some bombs)., and d) fish was rolling and rocking esp. the 3rd night (clear as bells).
thanks!

@ prawser, you are right. Trey didn't use the Ross on the third night - at least not as often as the first two nights. There he really used it a lot on the heavily composed sections. I disagree with you in that it was all about Trey. I think in 98 he played a lot more notes, and Page never ever shone like that like he did this weekend!
