I would have to first say that the Great American Music Hall  
is one of the best rooms to both play in and go see music.  
It holds about 550 people with room to dance. If it was  
New York, there would be atleast 1000 people inside. I was told that
the last time that PHISH played the Wetlands that the normal
650 person limit was stretched to 1200. If you have ever been to
the Wetlands, you know that is tight.  

The show was very good, highlighting a great deal of the Junta  
material. As you can see, there are none of the new tunes on
the list. The songs that stood out for me on this night were
The Curtain, David Bowie, which had a very heavy groove working
in the intense jam, and You Enjoy Myself, which had a great vocal
jam in it, Possum, and Chalkdust Torture. Of course, anytime  
PHISH covers a Syd Barret tune (Honey Love), it is a definite highlight.

The show was sold out with lots of people outside. As the show  
started, they did sell a few more tickets to the point that
almost everyone who came and remained patient got in.  

On the whole, a GREAT AMERICAN time to be had by all.

Cheers,

henry
