Review by lofus99

lofus99 PHish in the sPHere with PsycHedelics! Has a nice ring to it! I am glad to see that the general review consensus is that this was the magic show. 2nd set Sunday was also pretty strong I thought, but I happened to take some shrooms (Jedi Mind F*#k... peaked nicely) Friday and so was not sure how much bias that created. But I can confirm that this show was DRIPPING with psychedelic mastery! I think the only 1st set of the run that was swirling....which started at Axilla (15 minutes long!) and never stopped. That Melt with the freaking screen work!!! Just insanely psychedelic! And I was just web casting. Being there must have been a total blow away if you were tripping! Not sure how many of you have noticed, but I have been researching it and over the last few years, more often than not, the Friday show is the one to trip to. If you like your psychedelics like I do, then Phish on a Friday has a good chance of being special. It has been recently revealed to me that the Grateful Dead used to always dose on Saturdays. That was the band tripping night all through the 60s and early 70s and if you were backstage Kesey would usually get you somehow! Butch Trucks has some great stories on that. Also read the story about Robert Hunter writing the lyrics for Black Peter after Kesey had some very strong doses one Saturday! Sometimes I wonder if Friday is the Phish tripping night. I am exactly the same age as Trey (born in 64, both dragons! turning 60 this year!) and I also play improvised music with some buddies and I can confirm that it is often extra magical when we trip together on shrooms. I know that if I were the guys in Phish, I would have nights were we all take some shrooms. Just sayin. It's really fun and sometimes the vulcan mind lock is amplified for the better! This Friday show seemed like a night they might have dosed. But what I want to add, is the fact that these screens they did at the sPHere were incredible, truly incredible, when one was tripping on psychedelics!! I only did Friday, as you can only take them once over a run and still get the effects....and the 2nd set was endless brain orgasms. Just unbelievable!! So psychedelic it was crazy!! The music and the screens!! I still get feelings of bliss just thinking about it....and that was just webcasting it!! I don't smoke, but all I could think of afterwards was that I really needed a cigarette!! I will say it again, endless brain orgasms!! From Melt onwards. Thank You Phish team for making the webcast so amazing!! Really captured it. The other reviewers hit the right spots with their comments so read them for details. Just want to point out that the Ruby Waves and the Song>Caspian were just dripping with psychedelia and really hit the spot for my tripping brain.
