StStephen Permalink
StStephen The "Phish loves Dick's" vocal jam in YEM; the setlist itself; the "Grind" "Meatstick" encore. Thats f.u.c.k.'n. funny.

August 31, 2012

Dick's Sporting Goods Park, Commerce City, CO

Set 1: First Tube, Uncle Pen, Carini > Kill Devil Falls, You Enjoy Myself[1], Ocelot[2], Undermind

Set 2: Runaway Jim[3] > Farmhouse > Alaska, Chalk Dust Torture[3] > Emotional Rescue > Fuck Your Face[4]

Encore: Grind, Meatstick[5]

[1] "We all love Dick's" vocal jam theme.
[2] Crosseyed and Painless tease.
[3] Unfinished.
[4] Emotional Rescue quote.
[5] Japanese Lyrics.

Notes: This show was officially webcast via LivePhish. The first letters of the songs of this show spelled out "Fuck Your Face" before Fuck Your Face itself was played. Before You Enjoy Myself, Page said "We are so happy to be back in this place, thank you guys so much. We love Dick's, we do." The crowd responded by chanting "We love Dick's."  The You Enjoy Myself vocal jam was based around a "We Love Dick's" theme with different band members' names inserted. Ocelot included a Crosseyed and Painless tease. Prior to the second set, Trey wished Matty from the Waterwheel table a happy birthday. Runaway Jim and Chalk Dust were unfinished. Emotional Rescue was played for the first time since September 30, 2000 (236 shows). Fuck Your Face contained an Emotional Rescue quote.

Icculus! The combination of messianic zeal and total incomprehensibility, Mike's exaggerated falsetto, the fact that it inevitably moves from preaching earnestly to the audience to just screaming angrily at them... how can you not laugh at that?

SconnieGuy Permalink
SconnieGuy One thing that cracked me up this past summer was during Alpine N2 in the first set they rocked Frankenstein with Page out front with his keytar. When the song ended and Page was scurrying to get back behind his rig, Trey started playing the first notes to Lawn Boy, which quickly yielded a "are you freakin serious!?!" glance from Page, then all 4 shared a good laugh. Seeing the the band being silly and getting along like that on stage gave me that good feeling that Phish will be around for a long time.

Best part was Fee was up next!!

Notes: Divided Sky was dedicated to Chris Gainty, who was seeing his first show since a car accident had left him in a coma five months earlier. Trey played with a voice box on stage that uttered curses during Sparkle, Esther, and Wilson.  Antelope contained Nellie Kane teases from Mike and Weekapaug included Lion Sleeps Tonight teases. Prior to the encore, Trey mentioned the new Minkin painting Mike's mom had given to the band. Per Fish's request, Chris Kuroda subsequently used different lights on the painting. Lawn Boy featured Trey playing The Christmas Song during his solo. This show is available as an archival release on LivePhish.com.

jerryguscia Permalink
jerryguscia I love them.Here are some of mine:

NYE '10 Meatstick should've made me laugh, but I was too busy being in awe...
One of my favorites is when they were doing that interview in the 90s and glanced at each other, gave a nod/smirk, and, in synchronization, drank their beer, uncrossed, and recrossed their legs.
The Guyute/"don't buy our new album banter" from 07/15/98 is amazing.
The "banter" banter from The Grey Hall N1 in 98.
The fact that Mike supposedly wanted to play Fluffhead at IT and Trey gave us the gem,"Mike says,'no'."
The fact that they danced while doing a completely serious jam (out of Possum 12/03/97)
Every time they make an in-joke and completely lose composure playing/singing.
The Wading in the Velvet Sea banter from Bradstock.
