Subject: 9/26/99 UNO Lakefront Arena Review

Its' 8:45 AM, i just got back to Memphish this morning from the sick
show last night in New Orleans, the city of jazz and funk.  There
weren't any reviews posted so i thought i'd throw down some quick notes
and highlights.
The first set got off to a mellow start with the first ever Sweet
Virginia by the Stones.  They did a good job with this little tune, but
it was a little slow for an opener.  Still sweet and incredibly well
played.  The ROCKING First Tube rolled up next.  This song is the SHIT.
I heard it in St. Louis at Trey and have flipped on it ever since.  The
peaks are so dank!!  I wouldn't really call it a segue into AC/DC Bag,
like the Phish.net has it.  Bag just followed First Tube.  Bag was
slinky and Trey was slippin and slidin all over the place with the rest
of the band funkin' it down. It only peaked for a little while, but had
a loooong smooth funky Bag jam before it started to peak.   Easily One
of the Highlights of the first set.
Dirt was sweet.  They've dropped the little jam that Trey Developed on
his acoustic this past spring into the middle of the song.  The result
is a Dirt that has a little more Versatility and isn't as short.  Guyute
was perfect.  I've seen alot of Guyutes this year, it seems like its the
most played song on these past two tours.  I remarked to my friend
during it that they play Guyute almost every other show now.  And they
did indeed play it 2 nights ago in Austin.  It's still a killer song
though, intense, just like Punch. After Bouncin Trey walked to the side
of the stage and called somebody up.  I looked to my friends and said
"Michael Ray," because i saw the rumor on Andy's Page! Thanks Andy!  And
indeed he did come out, with a Sax Player no less (didn't catch his
name).  I knew Ray  would play becuase last time i saw them in New
Orleans Michael Ray played on Cars Trucks and Buses.  This CTB was much
better than the one 3 years ago at Jazz Phest, but it was left sorta
unfinished.  Ray and The Sax player soloed it out for a good while, but
then they just ended it, and didn't do the normal reprise.  Funky Bitch
Tore us up, with Ray and The Sax Player soloed in the first half then
backed up Trey for his solo in the second half.  Great FUNKY bitch. Free
Thought was easily another Highlight of the first set.  They practiced
this backstage.  It was so smooth.  The Sax really added to the song.
Then Cavern closed things out for the set.  This Cavern was good, but
not as good as the sick Sick Gary Gazaway Cavern from Hampton in 98.
The Horn Players only really got in between the verses and only added a
little bit to the end.
All in all a great Set!  Ray was dancing alot when he was not playing
and at one point (i can't remember which song) Ray jumped in front of
the stage and danced and did cartwheels and flips while the Sax Soloed.
The Crowd loved it.  The Sax Player put on a better show than Ray I
thought.  His solos were much tighter, and longer.
Set 2 kicked off with a sick Twist Around.  I love this song.  The jam
was tight and went on for about 15 minutes.  It raged and Trey noodled
through alot of Twist Territory.  It was a sick groove that eventually
found its way back to the end of Twist Around.  There was NOT a segue
into Piper, but Piper was sick as hell.  The opening wasn't as long as
the Atlanta or Deer Creek Pipers, but during the jam in the middle Trey
Started soloing hard as phuck!!  He was raging all over the place hittin
notes.  They took Piper incredibly high.  Higher than they ever could
with Trey just playing the regular chords.  I've often wondered why He
doesn't solo or lead during Piper that often.  Tonights solo was pure
spinning adrenaline that found its way through 10 minutes of a sick Jam
than finally dropped back into Piper.  They proved why these two are
among my top favorites of any of the new material from the last few
years.  But alot more New Material To come.
Mountains in the Mist was my 4th this year in 8 Phish shows and a Trey
Show.  Great song! Well played version.  This set was begginning to
resembly 7/3/99 set 2 but that quickly changed with Heavy Things,
another song I heard on the Trey tour that i wanted to hear Phish play!
If you haven't heard this song, You should try, it's like Music Falling
Down on You - Beep Beep Beep Beep.  Birds of a Feather had yet another
sick twisted jam out of it. I wasn't too excited to hear Birds again,
but all of the Birds i have heard this year have really blown me away.
Columbus, Deer Creek, New Orleans was no Exception.  Tight Tight
Jamming, but really loose and free, not hard RAWK like summer of 98.
Although after 12 minutes or so of the jam it found its way into that
rawk that they play out of it.  Birds found its way home after a twisted
jam, then Meat let us Funk it down some more, because we are in NEW
ORLEANS!  I wasn't expecting to hear Disease, since they played it in
Austin, but This was ANOTHER Highlight of this show.  Easily one of the
Best Diseases i've heard this year and this is like the fourth i've
heard this year alone.  The whole Band was incredibly on, but Trey Was
WAY WAY out there ripping it up just relentless and non-stop.  The peaks
were incredible and blistering.  This was way better than any antelope
Closer i've heard, the jamming was just so TIGHT!
that was the story of the night.  NOT ONE SEGUE, which almost
disappointed me walking out of the show, because i had seen some of
those west coast setlists with >>>>>>> through most of the 2nd sets, but
the whole thing was INCREDIBLY ON!  They stopped between every song in
set 2, but each song was tight as hell, Especially Twist, Piper, Birds,
and Disease!   this show is comparable to 11/14/98 which is a Sick show
because each song is played with a certain precision, but a show in
which only One Segue is kicked down.   I have found in my 24 shows that
Transitions and Segues always make for a good show, But if they can play
Jams that are tight and expansive and then just let them find their way
home like in Piper and Birds, Sometimes segues aren't needed.
Time For the Meatstick Encore.  I could feel the Meatstick gathering
momentum in the lot before the show.  I knew there hadn't been one a few
shows, so i was ready to hear if they played it.  I'm glad they saved
some Funk for the Encore.  But I am sick of seeing Phish Dance the
Meatstick.  Hopefully they'll just let the crowd do it AFTER they have
taught everybody and done the NYE/Guinness thing.  It's a dank song, but
the dance goes on too long once you've seen it a few times.  Rocky Top
closed it out Tight and Fast!  I'm glad they got it out of the way for
the Pyramid show, i've seen too many Rock Tops in Tennessee.

See you kids in Memphish
I'm Building you a Pyramid

Date: Mon, 27 Sep 1999 22:15:34 -0700 (PDT) From: Eric Kesler chumlove@yahoo.com To: dws@archive.phish.net Subject: New Orleans review The first thing I want to convey is that Lakefront Arena is small. The GA floor was wider than it was long, with the boards backed up hard against the first seats and tapers squeezed into two tiny corners on either side. It's the smallest venue I've seen Phish play in in a few years. As if that wasn't cool enough, the place was nowhere near sold out...individual lunatic dancers were owning their own sections behind the stage. I bought my ticket at the box office that afternoon and ended up second row just behind Trey's left shoulder. Sweet Virginia was a smooth opener, I don't think many people in the audience recognized it, but it was good grooving nonetheless. At the end of the song, a bird flew out of the hallway behind the stage, circled the stage once and then landed on a microphone stand behind Trey. It sat there for a second, then went out for a long pass out around the floor before flying back out of the room. Yeah, I know what it sounds like, but I wasn't on anything; I thought it was a hallucination, then I thought it was a robot, and then I didn't know that the hell to think (I still don't, except that phish is cool). Then first tube. A friend who'd been on tour told me before the show that first tube is "like having your head spun around and slammed into every individual seat in the room." He ain't kidding; this song is a force to be reckoned with. If you've heard trey do it and wonder how it sounds different with phish, all I can say is bigger and more. The jam is essentially the same, it's just so much more brutalizing with phish at the controls. AC/DC bag gets slowed down a touch more every time I see it, and every time I remember it doesn^Òt matter because this song is AWESOME at any speed, period. It churned around in grooveland for a while, then it burst in an massive wave of energy (that moment when Chris goes to the full white flood and you see everyone in the room trying to dance holes in the floor) that left me flushed and smiling. Dirt was beautiful, a lovely melody for a respectfully quiet crowd. Then came guyute. Surprise. Honestly though, I wasn^Òt too psyched to see my eighth guyute of the year, until they started getting into it. It was supersolid, a raging churning maelstrom of sound. Best one I^Òve heard so far in 99, but I^Òm still kinda burnt out on it. Michael Ray and Tim Greene came out of the bowels of the coliseum and took up seats at the foot of the trey side stairs during guyute; they watched guyute and bouncin before trey came over and waved them aboard. Once their gear was set up trey turned to the rest of the band. He went to the mug mike and was about to say something when page dropped the first notes of Cars Trucks & Busses. Trey put the mug down, nodded enthusiastically to page, and then the sickest CTB ever was perpetrated against the minds of those in attendance. Michael Ray was a show stealer; when he wasn^Òt ripping screech trumpet madness he was grooving out on stage, shaking it every which way. He boogied like a pro during the whole set, coming out to the front of the stage to show off his slick dance moves. At one point he threw his all access pass to the floor and cut some cartwheels. And while he was dancing, Tim was carving out sax solos from ethereal fire. I don^Òt know if this guy plays with the Krewe or not, but he was, IMHO, the more ripping of the two horn players. Funky Bitch was jamming, not Son Seals jamming, but still good fun. Free thought/mozambique was another serious highlight, spiraling out of control and then moving even further out of control after that. Tim caught on to the fact that instead of just soloing he could jam it phish-style, going up slow and adding a little bit every time the phrase repeats itself. He and trey were vibing off of one another pretty obviously, trey was bobbing and weaving, smiling his christmas morning smile. Cavern closed it out strongly. The bird proved it was real by coming out at the beginning of the set break and swirling across the trey side crowd a couple of times before alighting upon the wires that juice Chris^Ò rig. One of the strangest things I^Òve ever seen at a show. Second set jammed; twist is always a good opener, and it^Òs starting to feel like a twist demands either a moma or a piper to really be finished. Piper it was and the floor shook appropriately. Mountains in the Mist was a lot like dirt in that it was the most appropriate slow song for the moment played note perfect to a crowd that managed to hold the lysergic screams in till the end. Heavy things was good, sounds more or less the same way that it did in asheville, except the doodoowaa jam went on for longer. I like the song but not too crazy about it being mid-second set; I don^Òt think it^Òs got the strength to keep me interested late in the evening. Birds (a dedication, I suppose) was ^Ñ99style raging, not deer creek or camden but still killer. Meat was a super chunky blur, they brought it back more times than any version I^Òd seen before, both trey and mike took funk breaks of their own. DWD closed it out full force, I didn^Òt feel like it was as out of control as, say, oswego, but was still roof raising. Out comes meatstick for the encore. It was funny to me that what I thought was the theme song of the summer was the encore of the only show I^Òm seeing till DC. I just wish they^Òd give up on showing people how to do the meatstick and concentrate on just bumping it. The crowd seemed lukewarm about the dance. I don^Òt know, I love meatstick but I^Òm looking forward to them playing it as well as they did in atlanta. Rocky top was rocky top, a little shot of pure crack to send us out into the steamy night. I had to pass on tickets to Michael Ray in order to start the 11 hour haul back to Charlotte, but whatever, no one can get to every jam. I heard that N.O. was one of three shows this fall that had less than 5000 tickets sold^Åhere^Òs to hoping that smaller crowds are a continuing trend.
Date: Tue, 28 Sep 1999 18:39:43 -0400 From: Rob Price rprice23@yahoo.com To: dws@gadiel.com Like all places I visited in my recent tour of New Orleans, the UNO Arena was a chill scene. Did anyone else see the two dudes who's hippy crack tank started to explode inside their duffle bag? Freezing NO2 gas shooting out of all the seams while they nearly jumped out of their skins and wrestled the beast to the ground. It was wacky. I found the security to be really chill inside and out, walking around with a bottle of beer (or even driving around with one) is totally allowed in Nawleans. Someone even dropped a couple of bottles which smashed on the floor of the veune and it seemed like security took it pretty well, letting the dude go. But I digress, onto the show. We were expecting Michael Ray to show up and the Friday Times-Picayune all but confirmed an appearance. We were also expecting was a Gumbo. Our small gentleman's game of setlist predictions even included the category, The Gumbo Factor. Not whether or not they would play Gumbo, but when. Phish strolled out a little after 8 PM to a raucous cheer of celebration. Spirits were high and the vibe was definitely a good one. Seemingly to keep us arm- chair set-makers in our places Phish opened with the first time Sweet Virginia. A great Stones song to cover. They did a wonderful job with this one, beautifully capturing the harmonies and Page particularly sounded good on the keys. During the chorus a bird landed on a mike stand near Trey's stacks and pretty much momentarily blew everyone's mind. I honestly thought it was planned for a second. As soon as a surprised cheer went up, it flew back into the rafters. I don't know if the band saw it, but I assume the second set Birds of a Feather might have been inspired by the buildings avion inhabitant. The mellow opener set a nice tone, and the following First Tube, ripped that up and rocked it out. I had the good fortune to see the 8 Foot Tubes show and this was probably my fave song of that night (although it would be nice if they'd break out the Silicone Fairy this tour in Albany). Let me just say that the full-band treatment of it is spectacular. It rocks-out so hard. The groove is infectious, the beats had me funking out all over my space. You can tell Trey loves this one, starting with a little two step and eventually jumping up and down during the jam. Next up was AC/DC Bag. Nice groove on it, although it always seems slower than I remember. Bag has those classic lines of youthful discontent, (i.e., "no future at all") that drive the crowd into a frenzy and the JAM at the end excited with its building and building climax. Trey really nailed it at the end. Dirt was a nice mellow treat. This song has such a beautiful melody, plus whistling. More whistling up next with Guyute. It seems I see this song everyshow now, but I'm still loving it so far. How can you not? I started to have some feelings of possible subliminal hypnosis during this song...anyone else experience that? Maybe it was just that brownie. This one was well-played but nothing unusual. Bouncing was actually a welcome inclusion in the set. I still think this has some of Phish's finest singing, and I was glad they played it since we had three first-show virgins in our group. Our seats were right on the wall on Trey's side and we could see two guys with gleaming horns ready to go. Micheal Ray on trumpet and Tim Greene from Ray's Kosmic Krewe on Sax. Well I nailed at least one song prediction, Cars Trucks and Buses. I was excited to see this with the horn accompaniment. The hornplayers were a little tentative at first, but after one go-around, you could tell that Michael Ray, at least, had played on this before (jazz fest). I found Michael Ray hard to hear in the mix - his trumpet was hitting such a high register, it was hard to differentiate. I had no such problem with Tim Greene's saxophone however. His playing was pretty smoking. Both players went back and forth taking turns. Both Ray and Greene seemed to be relaxing into the song when Phish wound down for the finish. It ended awkwardly but I for one was not disappointed. Phish right slammed into Funky Bitch and the horns again, Greene especially, were smoking. After Ray and Greene went back and forth a couple time, Trey launched into a scintillating solo and while Greene was roaring on the sax, Ray threw down his hat, sunglasses and trumpet and started boogeying hard at the front of the stage. It was great! He was doing cartwheels and somersaults, and really digging the crowd and the music. (Brownie caveat: I may have this out of sequence) They both did alot of fills at times but each took some great runs over the song. Mozambique was just superb. I had heard this at the 8Foot Tubes and on Trey Tour, but it had a different feel to it with the full band (and the horns). I was really grooved into this one, I would say it was the best of the four horn songs. Cavern was pretty exciting although the weakest of the horn songs, for me...I think I'm too used to those classic Giant Country Horn Cavern's. The crowd response was great at the end of the set, everyone on stage was flashing big smiles. The set ended about 9:15. They returned to the stage with big smiles just about 10 pm. Twist kicked in the second set like Starsky kicking in a Pimp's door. The song literally winding its way into your body. They were super-up for this Twist and about ten minutes into it, they just pumped it up into a nutty, wicked jam. I almost spun out of my birkenstocks. This version of Twist was one of the best i've heard. (I wrote only "Wow" on my setlist notes). They meandered into the beginning of Piper. Piper was zippy and trance-inducing. I can never really accurately describe a Piper in words. It just rocks. The lights were spectacular during this. It was around ten minutes in length. Mtns. in the Mist was next. This song is another beautiful piece and this version was stellar. Trey's voice lifting over and above the music. Heavy Things is a welcome addition to the repetoire. I think this was the catchiest song for me off the Trey tour and the full band makes this song even better. I love the hook in this song, and i still have it bouncing around in my skull. Page played a little snippet of the "Charge!" anthem just before they launched into Birds of A Feather. I'm not sure if this one was an acknowledgement of the weird bird appearance or not, but who cares. They blew the roof off with a mezmerizing expansion of this jam. Trey even snuck in the "Charge!" theme during the song, and then this jam began to open up into other worlds. I think they went into some near Hose-type geographies before returning this to Earth. Meat was a treat! The Phunk got really deep on this one. Mike, who seemed low in the mix during the first set was dropping big bombs now. You just could not escape the phunk. The small stop-start part raised huge waves of screaming from the elated crowd. Mike took the lead right away with a little "Charge" of his own, then settling into the cosmic space-bass noised that could only signal one song, Down With Disease. What's there to say - another super version of a can't miss jam. They capped the Big Finish at about 7 past 11. Meatstick was a pretty cool encore, at least I finally learned the dance steps live. Like the previous reviewer commented, I wish they had let the crowd dance and stuck to playing the song, b/c its a good and funky one. Still it was a fun song. They leapt right into the next song, which for a millisecond fooled me as Scent of a Mule but was quite obviously Rocky Top. I love this song, and its been awhile since I'd seen it live. This was my first and only show of the Fall tour (until Albany), and it was a great one. The Sweet Virginia, First Tube, all the horn songs and the wild Twist and Birds will make this show a must get on tape/cd. One second on the soapbox: please leave your dogs off the tour - AT LEAST FOR THE NEW YEARS SHOW. PLEASE?!
Date: Mon, 27 Sep 1999 15:53:00 -0500 From: Jeff Klein jeffk@stanmor.com To: dws@gadiel.com Subject: This T This was one of the most mellow scenes I have been to at a show. Not much action in the lot, little security, floor wasn't too crowded. Trey, as always, ripped it up last night. I was a bit disappointed they didn't funk it out that much; seemed more like a string of rock and roll songs. The highlight has to be Michael Ray and Tim Greene. Tim is a tenor sax who I think is from New Orleans. Nonetheless, I have seen him a few times in town, and he always tears it up. Ray really brought the energy to the place. Awesome dancer, all over the stage. You could see the rest of the guys were having a blast watching him do cartwheels while Tim soloed. If anyone knows how the show was at Tipitina's or the jam at the Howling Wolf please let us know. Curious to know who showed up.

It was fun to see all the phans starting to trickle into the French Quarters. My wife (MEGAN) and I awaited the arrival of Boca Bob (who drove from Boca Raton..18 hours!), and then rallied to the show. The University of New Orleans is only several miles from the French quarters. No traffic, no hassles, no parkin fee...cool. No wonder, the show only held 7000! I was so stoked. Bein general admission, we headed directly to the entrance line where only a couple people were squatting. Doors opened 6:30 sharp. We were the first people in the place. We ran up to the front and plopped down. 8:00 the boyz roll out...the energy was unreal! I: Sweet Virginia*, First Tube > ACDC Bag, Dirt, Guyute, Bouncing Around The Room,Cars Trucks Buses#, Funky Bitch#, Mozambique#, Cavern# -Sweet Virginia*: Great tune! I'm happy to see Phish doin another Stones gem. A little slow for an opener but the boys played it like it was a staple in every tour! Hard to believe it was a first. Towards the end of the song a bird circled the stage (indoor arena) and landed on a mic stand right next to fish!! I swear I thought it was planned.. -First Tube:I saw Trey do this one in Portland, and I knew it would quickly make its way to Phish. It has a beat you cannot stop hummin. My guess is this will be the first song on their next studio album.BAD ASS!! -ACDC Bag: I already have a CD burned from the show and have listened to it several times, and there was no segue from First Tube... In fact, there wasn't a segue the whole show! Tight Bag. Always psyched on this one. -Dirt: What can I say about Dirt? Beautiful version, with Trey all over it. -Guyute: I'm a artist, and and this song puts all kinds of wild images in my head..... Like a Dungeons & Dragons/C.S. Lewis/Jethro Tull feel.Gettin kinda bored w/ it like most people, but it was perfectly executed, and was a crowd pumper. -Bouncin: This (and DWD) is one song they seem to play everytime I see them. it's one of my wifes favs, so it was fun to see her singin along(front row center!). -Cars Trucks Buses#, Funky Bitch#, Mozambique#, Cavern# Everyone in the house was ready for what was about to happen. Trey nods over to the right of the stage to who else?.... Michael Ray(trombone) and Tim Greene(sax).CTB was a blast. both horns havin it out!Michael Ray was dancin his ass off so hard, before the end of cavern, he started doin flips and cartwheels all over the place!The place went apeshit. Great 1st set. Wanted to hear some others (My Friend.,Gumbo,Esther) but what a set!....Solid 8.0 II: Twist Around > Piper, Mountains in the Mist, Heavy Things, Birds of a Feather,Meat, Down with Disease -Twist Around: Never seen a Twist before. Glad to see the boyz taking it to new levels. I loved watchin Mike sing on this. -Piper: pure, tight Piper. One of the better jams of the set. -Mountains in the Mist, Heavy Things: Also heard both of these on the Trey solo tour. I really enjoy both of these tunes. I'm liking ALL the new tunes. They are all alot more catchy/fun than the last bunch of new songs (put on Ghost). I can't wait to learn all the words and sing along to ALL OF THEM IN PHLORIDA!! Birds: Bathroom time. Wait! I'm in the front row! I'll never get back! Meat: Mike galore! ANY MIKE IS GOOD MIKE. Just a question, is the band into the words: Meat / Tube or what? Kinda strange.... -DWD: heard it comin! Best DWD yet. The place went bonkers. Chris added flawless visual candy that cannot be expressed in words. Thanks, Chris (by the way,This is dudicai if you didn't already guess...if you even look at these reviews!!) Great set closer. ENC: Meatstick,Rockytop A little tough to do the Meatstick in the front row, but whos complaning! I'm front row watchin the best band on the planet doin the dumbest dance ever! The song is getting tighter, and more people seem to be doin it. LOOK OUT MACARANA, NYE IS COMING!! An upbeat Rockytop to "smoothly" top of a monumental night. No complaints here. Fun had by all. Thanks again guys. There is life after the Dead! PHLORIDA HERE I COME!!!! THANKS AGAIN, SCOTT EISENBERG Boca Raton,FL. scotte@sticrealtime.com

During Sweet Virginia, some kind of bird flew down from to rafters, glided around the venue, then landed on a mic behind Trey, and looked around and flew off. The bird got a great reaction from the crowd, and Trey started laughing and smilin' real big. My friends and I cant decide if it was a trained falcon, or just some random bird who was freaked out by the lights (Which were stellar) and the noise. -Steve ================== Steve J.

I love this town it was my third time here and it still blows my mind. The night before phish i saw Sonny Rollins at the house of blues which was a treat since the doorman let us in for free. The lot scene was very cool. We got there before the lots open and parked right by this huge lake(hence the name Lakefront) in which me and my friend somehow were able to take a ride on a local's jet ski. How often do you get this chance before a phish show? We got in a few minutes before the start and hung out in our seats, watching a lonesome bird flying around in the arena. This bird came flying down onto fish's boom stand during First Tube,(I think). I'm guessing this prompted them to play Birds of a Feather (2nd Set) in hopes of it flying about during it. Highlights of first set-bouncing around, Guytue, and horn players on cars, trucks, buses, and Cavern Second Set- Twist around,downw/disease,(birds) E: Meat stick,rocky top Overall a very good show, fish was solid, mike was very out going ,trey was hot and seemed to enjoy playing w/ horn players, but page was quiet and i saw him turn down a few solos when trey notioned to him, but was still a solid part of the ensemble. -- Greg
