Thank god my friend Dan had an extra ticket to this show. \u00a0Thank god I got to see Phish more than once in 2009. \u00a0I wanted to go to those other 2 Jones Beach shows, but just could not make it. \u00a0So I took my friends extra ticket to the Camden show and I am so glad that I went. \u00a0Dan, Stack and I headed out to Camden from Ridgewood. \u00a0We were all gitty with anticipation for what the boys were going to throw at us tonight. \u00a0We talked about the past Jones Beach shows and what we liked and what we didn’t like. \u00a0We also talked about what we wanted to hear at Camden. \u00a0Dan said he wanted a “Chalkdust” or a “David Bowie.” \u00a0I wanted a “Wedge” or a “Mango Song.” \u00a0Of course this was all done with a couple of road sodas being drank hastily before this show.<\/p>\n
This was the first time ever to this venue down in Camden. \u00a0I have heard some amazing things about the place and Phish has always brought the heat to South Jersey. \u00a0I know that the venue has changed names three times that I know of. \u00a0The E Centre to the Tweeter Center and now the Susquehana Bank Center. \u00a0It is a shame that all these beautiful venues get their names to changed to after some kind of corporation with a boring name. \u00a0Anyways, I was excited to be here for the first time. \u00a0The Philly skyline could be seen at most angles from the venue. \u00a0It was gearing up to be a wonderful night.<\/p>\n
The three of us got in the venue and we waited for the band to get on. \u00a0The band starts with one of our requests for that nights show. \u00a0“Chalkdust Torture,” is blasting from the stage. \u00a0“Can I live while I’m Young,” is what I am trying to do. \u00a0That is why I travel so far to see this band. \u00a0Just trying to live my life. \u00a0Now I was very impressed with the Jones Beach show from 6.2, but I was not blown away. \u00a0I will soon find out that after this show I will just be wanting more and going to see as many more shows as I can.<\/p>\n
Next two songs from the show are songs that are fun to just get down to. \u00a0“Fee,” and “Wolfman’s.” \u00a0The Wolfman’s was better this show than the show that I went to about 5 days earlier. \u00a0I feel like I have seen Wolfman’s at every Phish show I have been to. \u00a0But this song is always great to hear. \u00a0I do really enjoy it. \u00a0“Guyute” was next and a classic to hear live.<\/p>\n
Lets just say that the end of this set was out of control. \u00a0“Lizards” and “Wedge.” \u00a0I mean Lizards I was not even thinking about at all. \u00a0Did not even think it was possible that this could be played live. This is one of my favorite songs and the place just was going nuts. \u00a0And then my prediction for that show which was “The Wedge.” \u00a0Man I love this song and I was so happy to hear this song. \u00a0I love getting the rarities at any shows especially at Phish shows. \u00a0To close this set the boys ended with Tube into First Tube. \u00a0WOW!! \u00a0This was the perfect ender for the first set. \u00a0The first part was funky. \u00a0The second part was just rocking. \u00a0Two separate totally different parts, but when put together it is perfect.<\/p>\n
The second set opened up with a funky beat. \u00a0I was not sure of the song until after the show, but “Sand” was just what needed to happen to open up the second set. \u00a0It was funky and just what the doctor needed. \u00a0The middle of the set was good, solid, but the Tweezer that ended the show was just stellar. \u00a0It was real good to hear this song again live. \u00a0One of my first songs that I fell in love with and so good to hear again. \u00a0I think they played it real well. \u00a0And a great way to end the second set.<\/p>\n
Now here comes the reason where I think that Phish is NOW BACK for REAL. \u00a0 They opened up the encore with this new song called Joy. \u00a0Trey talked before they played the song and announced what the song was. \u00a0Now I was hoping that this was not the only encore song. \u00a0It was a good song, but not one for the encore. \u00a0Then they went into Bouncing. \u00a0I was real nervous during this song. \u00a0I thought they were going to end the encore with this song and I was going to be royally PISSED. \u00a0I was real nervous as it closed down to the end of the song. \u00a0Then I heard the first notes to Antelope. \u00a0I was soooooo relieved. \u00a0OK so three song encore. \u00a0YES, pretty solid. \u00a0AND Antelope was on fire. \u00a0The boys were playing it top notch. \u00a0I was very happy to hear this song to end this show. \u00a0BUT, it wasn’t over. \u00a0Of course the always Reprise for Tweezer was played to close the show. \u00a0I was fully blown away of this 4 song encore. \u00a0This is when I realized that the boyz are back. \u00a0They are ready to bring fire and play hard. \u00a0This actually left me wanting for more. \u00a0This wanted me to go on tour with the band. \u00a0I have not felt like that in a long time. \u00a0It was really good to see this show<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
