Wow!!!! Hotttttt show! I would post the setlist since I haven't seen one
yet but I can't read what I wrote after "Golgi Apparatus".  Suffice it to
say that the 1st set ended with Mike's Groove, and the second set ended
with Harry Hood, and John Popper came out to my wondring eyes and blew
away with the Good Times Bad Times encore! I also missed the first couple
songs... I heard RUnaway jim, Reba and Cavern was what I missed. Boy they
sure started early!!! Last time in NYC I heard they started late & played
all nite. The show was over by 12:30 It think... anyway my 1st ever harry
hood and it was a dooooozie! This has GOT to be a canditate for a tape
tree... classic show all around. Didn't let up for a minute! They had
those cool plexiglass things that were at New Years also.

ROseland was cool except for the four dollar brews, no hassles ... lots
of fun. I would go back there in a minute.  What fun! Spent the whole
night running around NYC like an idiot after the show.

                And having Popper come out for the encores was the icing
on the cake - was that the first time he's jammed with them?   ..end quote

        NOPE!!!!  My first viewing of Phish was at the Wetlands (3-3-90) in
NY, and Popper put on quite a display with the band during "Funky Bitch".

        Anyway, I was at the Roseland even though I missed the wonderful encores
   I loved the venue a lot, but getting in had to be ONE OF THE BIGGEST PAINS OF
    MYASS!!!!!  What a lame system!!!  They didn't open the box office till 8:15
   pm
and had reserved tickets and ticketless people in one looonnnnng line!  Once I
finally picked up my two tickets, I was ready to sell my extra ticket. BUT
NOOOOOOO!!  The wonderful security guards (not!) would not let me outside of the
   lobby and I had to enter the ballroom immediately. Whew.... There, now I got
   it
out of my system.
        I
        I'm sorry to say I don't have the set list of the show to post, but it
was definatly cool!!.  "Take the A Train" definataly put a smile on my face.
Most of the other songs were from albums (Junta, Nectar, Lawnboy) so I
definately could sing a long to most of them.  It was kind of like........
and excuse me for saying this....the band's "greatest hits" live.
        One other part about the show that I'm sure a lot of people noticed
was the five/six individuals in one of the most physical, slam dancing pits
I've ever seen.  I didn't mind it too much but they were invading too many
people's space in the floor. They were at their most physical period during
"Chalk Dust Torture" and "Mike's Groove".  Oh well, nothing wrong will a
little diversity on the floor!!!  Later On
                                                  -Hadley-

Hey pholks!


Anyway, the place was VERY large, definitely more of a big band-
style dancehall than a convert venue: the band was set up at the end  
of the hall on a temproary stage, and where the band would normally  
play was press and backstage seating. It didn't even OCCUR to me,  
however, that this seating was reserved, and when I saw John  
Greene dancing up there from across the hall, I made my way over to  
him and hopped right up. My hop down was rapidly aided by a guy  
whose last name was probably Kong. John gave me a shrug and then  
went back to dancing on his regal perch (lucky scum, you! :-)), a somewhere in the middle, the change  
happened. I think it was when they did the classic Oh Kee Pa into  
Suzy that they started to get into the set, and when Harry Hood came  
along, they were groovin'! They only played one new tune (Sleeping  
Monkey), but this was during a killer encore, and probably their  
smartest piece of PR all night... they brought John Popper up on stage  
to play with them for the encore (consisting of Sleeping Monkey and  
Good Times, Bad Times - another nice surprise!), which smoked right  
through. Popper, fo those who still don't know, is the lead singer and  
harmonica player for Blues Traveller, and he went to High School  
with Trey. He has occasionally joined Phish for a few songs in the  
past, even when the two bands weren't on the same billprobably will be another turning point for our rave faves.
