In The Interest Of Record Keeping

2 late, quick reviews before heading up to Watkins Glen.  Phish @ Bethel Woods 5/28/2011 and Grace Potter/My Morning Jacket @ Mountain Jam 6/5/2011.

Phish @ Bethel was perfect - best venue I've been to besides the Gorge.  Insane show, Cities, Runaway Jim and Gin were Set 1 highlights, not to mention a Theme opener - maybe the best possible song to open a summer night show; Set 2 brought a smoking DWD>Free and a sweet Bowie, a song I've recently come around to.  And it was a no-stop set which is always huge.  Pics will tell the rest of the tale...and I will be back to Bethel asap.

Mountain Jam was also a blast...aggressive day trip but absolutely worth it.  Grace and the band killed it, unbelievable show and probably the best one I've seen.  Ah Mary opener was awesome, Oasis was probably the highlight for me...Stop The Bus weaving in and out of the GTBT intro, as well as Paint It Black laced into Sugar...lot of jamming which is great to see.  2:22 with Warren speaks for itself.
