Phish inspires me.
Yes, I really wanted to be in Virginia, but I’m coming to accept my fate that it wasn’t meant to be. I won’t complain anymore, but if I could do it all over again…. But since I can’t, I’ll tweet and blog to my heart’s content.
It’s interesting because I started tweeting last night’s show on a lark…there was no plan to do it, but I just did it instinctively. I’ve since started to realize that Twitter is serving a very fundamental purpose for me…it’s connecting me to a wider community that I’m separated from. It’s been good therapy, and I’m inspired to continue doing this as long as I can.
So I just wrapped up listening & tweeting the first set of tonight’s show, thanks to Mr. Miner. Musically, very good, not as energetic as last night and a few technical slips, but with how they closed out Set 1 with Run Like an Antelope (and having previewed a few tweets) I suspect that I’m going to be jammin to Set 2 first thing tomorrow.
As I did before, I am mirroring the files found on Mr. Miner’s No Spoilers page for my friends. The LivePhish.com downloads have been CRAWLING, but I will post them up too (but only for as long as they are freely available from Phish). Here we go:
Set 1 * Original Torrent here * Official MP3s here
Set 2 * Original Torrent here * Official MP3s here
Once I have finished tweeting the 2nd set of the No Spoiler’s copy, I will then start over with the Official MP3 releases and create another blog review just like I did for the first sets last night. Enjoy

dude, the SOAM was sick though… i think last night had its highlights.
