Songs by Debut Year:
This show was part of the "1998 Fall Tour."
The first set is pretty standard for 1998; Ya Mar briefly steps out towards the end, Reba is nice enough (as it generally is, unless it's an all-timer or a noodle-y version), and Birds has more pizzazz to it than it does in 3.0, but this set is just fine. The second set gets off to an always-promising start with Buried Alive, then takes a sharp left turn into Wipe Out (it'll always be anybody's guess as to why they decided to break it out 2 songs into the second set), before getting down to business with CDT. This is one of my favorite versions, even though there's no real jam to speak of; both Wipe Out and Mirror in the Bathroom are heavily teased from the start, and the actual segue into Mirror itself is buttery smooth (thanks to Mike, who's got that bassline locked down pretty good), as is the even sharper and even less expected segue into the blues version of Dog Log. You might not be too impressed if Type II is your only reason to listen to Phish, but if you enjoy happy fun times as well, then you'll love this CDT.
Sanity and Buffalo Bill are interesting palate cleansers, then comes a massive Mike's Groove for the record books. Mike's brings us into the land of loops right out of the gate, as the band locks into the usual late-90s chilled-out Mike's jam, Trey ripping off a particularly *ugly* solo as the jam reaches its climax. We get a lovely segue into Hydrogen (seriously, why don't they do this anymore?), which is longer than usual, and then the real highlight of the set in Weekapaug. Weekapaug wastes little time going into a sharp, funky breakdown, with Page and Mike taking the forefront as Fish drops a skittering beat, then gloriously bursts back into plain ol' Weekapaug - that is, until Trey rolls back into Wipe Out, which the band jams on for a few measures, before double-timing Weekapaug to its close. Or so you'd think - upon finishing the song, Trey leads the band back into a *ferocious* reprise of Weekapaug, which then dies away as we enter an ambient zone, Mike's basslines alien-sounding as Trey (apparently) goes to his mini-kit, a thick slice of the messier ambiance that Phish traded in at the end of the decade, before the jam comes to a powerful close. A lovely, jazzy Antelope is the icing on the cake.
Final thoughts - a truly fun, exciting show. There are a few better sets in Fall '98, but only a few, and none of them feature as much pure thrills as this second set here does. Highly recommended.
Set I
FUNKY BITCH was a rocking opener, got everyone dancing and YA MAR followed suit. I don't necessarily remember a segue into CARINI, but it's entirely possible that there was one. Carini was great, with the typical heavy metal riffing by Trey. It's one of my favorite songs. I have seen it posted that this Carini included the lyrics about the naked person...I didn't notice this, but there was a part of the lyrics that I thought was flubbed, so this may have been the changed part. The energy was very high up to this point, and the crowd was really psyched.
RUNAWAY JIM evoked memories of last year, and I was hoping for a repeat performance of last year's odyssey. Alas, it was not to be and we were treated to a relatively straight-up, Trey-led jam, which was not very experimental at all (although still quite good). At this point, after New Haven and the first few songs of this set, I felt that the band was heading in a 94-ish Machine-gun Trey direction, and getting away from the funk and whole-band exploratory jams. As if responding to my concerns, the band brought out MEAT which was a welcome return to the sparse funk. Similar to what you hear on the album, but with either 1 or 2 more false endings, and probably a bit slower. Definitely better than any ballad which they might put after a high energy opening; and very much a *whole band* effort. Mike was *much* louder tonight than at New Haven, possibly because of the weird shape of that crappy New Haven venue. It added considerably to my enjoyment to be able to really hear Mike spanking the bass.
Next up was REBA, and a nice Reba it was, too. This song and me have a strange history...it started out as one of the songs that got me into Phish, moved on to a song that I didn't really like at all, and now is a song that consistently gives me a transcendent experience. This version was no exception, and contained some great tension-filled guitar work by Trey. Not the "best" Reba, but I have a hard time comparing Rebas in much the same way I can't really compare Hoods.
MY OLD HOME PLACE pleased me in that it wasn't Ginseng, which I've heard a lot of lately. DOGS STOLE THINGS at least doesn't have the Mound drumbeat at the beginning anymore to piss me off, but still doesn't excite me at all. VULTURES is one of my favorite of the 97 crop of songs, and I was glad to hear it. This version was rearranged, but without a tape of both of them next to me, I can't really say how, since it's been 4 days since the show. WHEN THE CIRCUS COMES I could really do without, and would rather hear any number of Phish-authored ballads (FEFY in particular!) before it. I guess it kind of means something when they start a multi-night run in a city but I just get bored with it. BIRDS OF A FEATHER was nowhere near as good as the Providence version from earlier this year and I've heard this song on the radio a few too many times to really get into it if they aren't going to take the jam places. I figured Birds would be the set closer, and I was right.
Set I recap: Carini was great, Meat funky and fun and Reba transcendent. Not much to say about the rest of the set, and overall, I give it a 4 on the SJCRS.
Set II
BURIED ALIVE is one of the greatest set openers, IMO, and was great to hear at the Centrum since it was the location of my only other Buried on 12/28/95. Really a great song, and it shows off Trey's chops big time. MIke's bassline during this is nice too. Not very different from the versions you've heard on tape, however. WIPE OUT was such a complete and total surprise that it took me longer to recognize than it should have. Fishman was great with the drum solos and yells; Trey introduced him as Bob Weaver at one point during the song, but it wasn't very clear what exactly he was saying.
After the amazing debut of Wipe Out, I didn't mind hearing my second CHALKDUST TORTURE in one week. As soon as I heard the Wipe Out teases by Trey in the beginning and nearly every break between the lyrics, I REALLY didn't mind. Then the jam segued into MIRROR IN THE BATHROOM, which sounded very familiar but is a song that I don't really know at all. I could place the decade, but beyond that, my mind was drawing a blank. This is something I'll want to hear on tape. They sang a couple of verses of Mirror and went back into Chalkdust. Then what I would describe as a
hard blues jam evolved and the band started singing..."Walking cross the lawn lawn lawn lawn lawn..."
Whoohoo! My third DOG LOG! (I was at the Dog Log show This was much different from the straight up white album version or the slow lounge lizard version. I'm not entirely certain that they got all the way through the lyrics, I was too excited to file these things away in my head, but the music was soon headed back into CHALKDUST. By this point the audience was nuts, and nearly everyone joined in the "Can't I live while I'm young?" singing. The segue into SANITY was definitely of the start-stop variety, and thus I wouldn't even call it a segue, but that's the way notation works on Phish.Net (and in the Mockingbird Book as I understand it, so get used to it!). Sanity was classic, as always, with unbelievable energy from the band during the "Boom....boom...." part at the end. They were screaming like the world was exploding!
Fishman's favorite song, BUFFALO BILL, started up next. Looking for owls? I certainly was, and it was at this point that I realized the set had entered the realm of the Old School. The jam kind of slowed to a stop and Trey played (and flubbed a bit) the guitar opening to MIKE'S SONG. The jam started out normally enough, but then entered a somewhat spacey territory. It continued like this and I was praying for a Hydrogen, which was the song I was least likely to have not seen, according to ZZYZX. Not to disappoint, Fishman started the drumbeat to I AM HYDROGEN. The Mike's hadn't ended with the driving bass/guitar like Mike's of old, but Fishman was playing Hydrogen anyway. The rest of the band layed down some space on Fish's beat which bore no resemblence to any Hydrogen I've ever heard. After at least 3 minutes of spacey jamming, they started to actually play the song, which seemed a bit rusty, but was beautiful as always. I think it just may be the prettiest Phish song. Anyone want to argue?
Pretty standard segue (which isn't that standard anymore, now is it?) into WEEKAPAUG GROOVE. Mike spanked out a solo and they were off. I would say that they segued into WIPE OUT completely during this tune, rather than just jamming on it, but that's a matter of opinion. The jam got a bit spacey and then sort of died out. Trey then walked around to the rest of the band and they started up the jam again, leading off with the main Weekapaug riff and then quickly heading into some space, and this was by far the most experimental thing I've heard out of Phish this fall. Very cool, and a great contrast to the machine gun Trey jamming of the first set and New Haven. If I was writing the setlist I would have called this WEEKAPAUG REPRISE, but it probably would screw up ZZYZX that way, so I won't. This is the sort of thing that I hadn't seen too much of this year at all, and it's glad to know they still have some Type II up their sleeves!
RUN LIKE AN ANTELOPE came next, and I was shaking my head in disbelief as it was already 10 past 11. This set just doesn't quit, folks! The energy was so high at the end of this set that the Antelope blew everyone away. I would rate this above 5/4/94 New Orleans, the Antelope dedicated to the baby of Trey's friend that was being born during the show. And I had never heard a better Antelope than that one.
Set II recap: One of the best Phish sets I have ever heard. Almost as if they transported 2/20/93 to 1998 and kept all the improvement they've made as musicians. Without a doubt, a perfect 10 on the SJCRS. A "must have" set, without question.
My friends and I were really expecting to hear Destiny. If there ever was a time where I thought they would play it, it was tonight. The crowd was EXTREMELY loud during the wait for the encore; when the band did come out, the crowd was the loudest I have ever heard anywhere. It was almost painful! You could tell what everyone thought of that amazing second set. So, when Page started playing WADING IN THE VELVET SEA, I was a bit disappointed since I just heard it at New Haven. I really like it as a song and all, but I expected something special. GOLGI APPARATUS followed, and is a song that I really enjoy in spite of the lack of jamming/short length. The segue into WIPE OUT was a perfect way to end the evening, and was by far the best of the three Wipe Outs played. What a great show!
Full show recap: First set started off with a lot of energy, cooled down some. Second set left me speechless and was among the best ever! Encore great on balance, would have enjoyed it more if I hadn't gone to New Haven. I give this show a 9.25 on the SJCRS. (I know the average doesn't
work, but if you felt the way I did after the show, you would give it the same grade.)
I heard the soundcheck before I listened to the show proper. Lemme tell ya, if you're interested in all the mad interplay of how unconstrained the quartet was on that night then you should really do yourself a favor and find the soundcheck if you haven't already.
-This Review Is Not About The Second Set!
If you WERE at the show I suspect you'd have known to buckle your seatbelts already by the ROCK Bitch they dropped as an opener, in opposition to the funky Bitches that were coming out at the time. You could take a few clips from near the end of this Rocky Bitch and stick them in the middle of a Llama and they'd fit. They'd fit well. Seriously. Or if you were a "Page Side Rage Side" type like I am and you came to the show with a nice shiny sports car that you keep very clean, you'd certainly have noticed Good McConnell asking you "Roads?" when Leo starts telling Ya Mar like it is.
"Where we're going we don't need roads!"
Ya Mar is so chill I would have expected it to segue into a Billy Breathes or a Prince Caspian. But no. Out of such peace and comfort Carini bashes us over our lumpy heads, which would have been rude except I would have been so full of excitement to hear an Axilla, BBFCFM, Led Zeppelin mad metal show. But no. Runaway Jim. No metal show.
Runaway Jim would have further discombobulated me, especially because it blisters the way a hyper Maze or a rip roaring Rift does. This Jim would have had me thinking about some of those early SOAM Your Face Off Jams but that's about the only foreshadowing I would have been somewhat correct about. I read another review here that hearkens this show to those of 1993 and I find such an assessment apropos. With the exception of Izabella, it's almost seems as if the Autumn of 1997 never happened. This whole show does kinda have an early 1990s thing to it, pre-Hoist.
But by the time Meat would have rolled around I would have been in free fall, totally confused and without a map. They did warn early that I was unprepared for what they had prepared for me but I guess I don't take advice well. And Meat doesn't really end here, does it? It unexpectedly keeps on going until it just kind of gets interrupted by...
Well, the Meat gets bagged, tagged and sold to the butcher in the...
Old Home Place? Wow.
But Wait! Wait.
I feel like I am in that Pixies song Where Is My Mind?
Did I just skip Reba? Yes. There is a reason for that. It's because this Reba is nearly nameless. It's subtle. What I mean is that this is a subtle performance that transcends its form and composition. What I mean is that there is nothing obtrusive about it, nor is there much with which we are familiar and comfortable onto which we can grab hold. While there's nothing here to give you a lumpy head, it's true, there's also not a not a lot of what we'd call "Reba" here. It's kind of a vehicle for this other... thing that's happening onstage. This is a lullaby! It's okay, I slept through it the first time, too. And it was a good thing, I think we were supposed to. Like the long, dark mist sequences that nobody seems to notice the first time they watch Battleship Potempkin, our brains pleasantly check out for a much-needed moment of respite and reflection until we give the material a second visit. Except for the peace that Ya Mar offered, this Reba is not in line stylistically with any of the rest of the concert up to this point. The tender rhythmic feelings of this lovely "Reba" are to be reprised in tone in Vultures (strangely enough), when Fishman forces Yo Soy H and finally in Velvet Sea.
Which leads to the conclusion of my synopsis of this show, fully understanding how rude it may be to say it: For me, November 27th, 1998 is a "Fishman Show." Sometimes, albeit rarely, one of them just seems to musically declare, "I'm on fire tonight, fellas." The rest are all are respectful and professional enough to ALWAYS respond with a collective, "Go, we got your back. Do it." If you were to do some surgery and open up the insides of most of the songs in this show and eliminate the keys, guitar and bass, you might be left with what virtuosic jazz / progrock percussionists play at drum clinic master classes. No exaggeration. I don't usually focus so much on any one instrument and even more rarely do I (or can I) focus strictly on the drums but after listening to this show a couple of times, that's where my ears are pulled and it's there that they stay. After trying really hard to wrap my head around what's happening in this mad show, I think I found the key. And I think it's Jon Fishman. And the following musical moment may elucidate why.
Suddenly and from out of nowhere, about ten minutes into Reba they get stuck as if a single rotation of a scratched record is playing over and over. And over again. It's weird. I urge you to give this strange short moment another couple of focused listenings to ask yourself, "Were I playing that, up on that stage, behind any one of those instruments, responsible for such an odd magical loop, how in the hell would I be able to UN-SCRATCH the record?" Personally, I would likely stay tied up in it as most of us would but if you concentrate I'll bet that you too can hear how Jon Fishman unties the knot with all the subtle skill of a true master. Furthermore, I'd like to say, he infuses it with a whole lot of confidence and joy.
There are many comments about the setlist, about how Chalkdust appears thrice, how Weekapaug also appears thrice, and so emphasizing these oddities yet again would not serve this review well, especially because I believe I've found a longer arc, spanning just about the entire show. So allow your attention to fall upon the cohesive thread that runs through the innards of:
Ya Mar = Reba = Vultures = Yo Soy H = Velvet Sea.
I was swimmin' in Massachusetts
Vultures were hiding behind the ROCK!
Except the little Fish
But they told me,
He swears

Where is my mind?

Or, at least, that's the best I can come up with. This is the one set I
did not get taped, and you can imagine how horribly I am kicking myself
for it. Therefore I'd like to insert my obligitory grovel...
I sat here and stared at the screen for about five minutes just now,
looking at that setlist again. I'm not going to even try to say anything
about it. It was _that_ good.
And all I'm really gonna say about first set is REBA. This was probably
the best version of REBA I've heard since sometime before Dayton (meaning,
yes, that this was better than that one - simply amazing. I didn't think
Trey had another great Reba like this in him. See also 12/4/96 San
The encore was a bit of a letdown I felt - did we need ANOTHER Golgi?
Eh....Wipeout is obviously incredibly fun, Fishman begrudgingly taking
what will withstand the test of time as the most HORRID drum solo ever.
One noteworthy thing is that Trey actualy reffers to Fish as "Jon Fishman"
for what is the only time I can recall (as opposed to "Hennrietta," "Bob
Weaver," "Sammy Hagar the Horrible," or whatever he is these days).
they kick things off with a really nice funky bitch. trey gets nice and bluesy, gordo nails the vocals. yamar cools things off for a minute before they rip into a really nice carrini. runaway jim keeps the momentum rolling. after the hour long jim the year before, the boys didn't really bother taking this one out too far. meat works well hear, but reba works even better. this gives the boys their first chance to really take off, and they really nail reba. this one stays in the normal "reba framework," but they work nice and precisely in that frame work. old home place is nice and snappy, and dst's is well executed. vultures really shines. this is a great tune that needs to be played more. this is a typically nice dark version. circus serves as a really nice cool down after a pretty fiery set. birds closes this one out in fine form. this one was not much of a jammer yet, but it was coming along.
then there is the second set. buried alive is absolutely, positively the best set opener around. trey kills some very nice santana'esque guitar licks through out this one. then out of buried, trey rips into wipe out. this one is nice and fun. after that one, they start up a rare second set chalk dust. trey litters wipeout teases all over the first section of chalk dust. then in trey's solo, him and fishman start to push the band in a slightly different direction. next thing you know, trey is belting out "mirror in the bathroom," between chuckles, of course. out of the mirror jam, they quickly shift back into a rowdy chalk dust jam, that quickly makes a bluesy turn. then, we are walking across the lawn! dog log is well-played. especially, since it quickly jumps back up into a very rowdy chalk dust closing. chalk dust closes with more energy, mostly built from the momentum of mirror and log, than any chalk dust closing i've heard. so, of course, the boys need a little cool-down, right? sanity! this always rare treat works oh so well after the chalk dust mayhem. keeping it mellow but with some oh so rare treats, they drop right into buffalo bill. i remember being so pissed that the centrum got buffalo bill in consecutive runs, but then, my home town deer creek dropped 'ol buffalo bill on us in '00 and '03. anyway, as if this show was not hot enough, they delve into a pretty solid mike's song. this one is pretty average for '98 with a slightly extended spacey jam before drifting into hydrogen. hydrogen is pretty straight forward. while the mike's song was pretty average, the weekapaugh was not. of course, gordo storms into the song like a champ, but the way they jam on this one is incredible. they drop it down twice, building it back up into storming weekapaugh jams both times. trey and page just dance around each other on this one, while gordon slaps away, and fishman keeps the beat like a mofo! great 'paugh, best of the year. now, that's the last song right? it's late... nope, antelope! trey nimbly brings us out of weekapaugh and into antelope. this draws a few cheers, to say the least. trey goes onto light this one up, and don't skip fishman's playing here. good antelope, especially being king of a free bonus on an already rediculously sick set/show. the encore leaves a little to be desired, but after that show, how much can you bitch about a 3 song encore. velvet sea doesn't do it for me, and golgi is one that i've grown weary of. they do tack on a bounus wipeout, sending everyone home extatic.
this is one show, along with the 95 show in the same venue, that if i had a time machine... well, anyway, the guys poor it on in the second set like i have never heard them. buried through chalk dust or the mike's groove would have really made any other show worth hearing, but to have all that, plus sanity and bill in the middle, really makes this one a contender for one of the best shows ever. it's in my top 10 for sure.
set 1:
funky bitch, reba, vultures
set 2:
buried>wipe>chalk>mirror>chalk>log>chalk, weekapaugh>antelope, hell gotta throw sanity and bill on there too...just get this show....the second set is must hear for any phish fan!
To add, I'll say that the Jim, while being standard, is probably my favorite of the standard Jims ever played. The Mike's, while also standard, is my favorite of this tour, due to the high degree of funk and ESP happening on stage.
It's highly tight, trey wails.
Get this show.
This is not my favorite show from Fall '98 but nonetheless there's no mistaking why it was chosen for the official release treatment. This 2nd set is probably one of the most energetic and fun of the tour and also contains one INCREDIBLE but oft overlooked jam in Weekapaug Groove.
The first set is pretty standard, with a tight opening run of tunes. Nothing special, but well played and energetic. Can't go wrong with any of the song choices either. Ya Mar had particularly beautiful outro soloing from Trey, and Jim had a ferocious peak. Meat's a welcome addition to any set in my opinion. It's a neat tune that I wish saw more action. The Reba is phenomenal - I'm a sucker for any Reba soundboard, so I'm admittedly biased, but this is the clear highpoint of the set for me. Mike is especially strong in this version. Vultures also smokes, another song that I wish got more attention. Trey's guitar tone was unbelievably crisp and smooth in 98 - I think it is my favorite year in terms of his tone. An energetic Birds of a Feather closes out the set. It's a 'Type I' by-the-numbers version, but definitely features some dark and ominous playing. On to Set II.
Set II is where the craziness and fun begins. Buried Alive is the perfect opener, a blast of energy. This version seems to have some added dissonance in the middle. Next up: WIPEOUT!!! The classic surfer tune made it's first appearance since having been played and teased in the early 90's. As Trey begins to repeatedly tease Wipe Out in the following Chalkdust it becomes apparent that this is going to be no ordinary second set. During the verses Mike begins to tease an infectious bass line, becoming more and more distinct with each subsequent tease. (Later revealed to be the bass line to "Mirror in the Bathroom" - a song by the 80's English ska band The Beat) As Mike continues to tease this song Trey eventually picks up on it and begins to play along and even sings along! This set is becoming out of control!! Trey eventually leads the band back into an energetic Chalkdust jam with some fierce soloing. This is an awesome Chalkdust jam, definitely above average. It eventually morphs into a choppy, slowed down bluesy groove and the band starts singing Dog Log! This is quickly becoming a very old school set, full of segues, teases and bust outs. An abrupt ending leads into Sanity, another old school rarity! I love the opening marching-band drumbeat to this song. This is a very creepy, odd song, and I love it. They must've been really into the rarities that night because it's one after another after another . Buffalo Bill is next. This a fun tune.
Back to relative normalcy with the opening chords of Mike's Song, but the night's music journey is far from over. Following the Wipeout/Chalkdust/Mirror in the Bathroom/Dog Log madness and the ensuing rarities there is still almost an hour left in the second set! The Mike's jam is funky and aggressive. Trey and Page really just tear the song apart, before an atypical ending without the usual final chords that signal a segue into I am Hydrogen. Instead, the band drifts into spacey ambience. This absolutely enchanting musical space bleeds flawlessly into I am Hydrogen proper, starting with Mike's gorgeous bass line. Trey soon follows suit. Not the cleanest I am Hydrogen but damn, I'd trade a crisper version for one this interesting any day. Trey's tone is absolutely stunning during his Hydrogen solo, as usual. (P.S. why why why??? is this not included in the list of unusual, interesting, or weird versions on Phish.net's song history of I am Hydrogen?)
As Hydrogen winds down, Mike kicks down the opening bass licks of Weekapaug and we're off! The jam immediately descends into its typical fast paced funk after Trey's energetically soloing slows into rhythmic chords and Page hops on the clav. Already the song shows hints of becoming a little spacey, with by Mike's strong bass leads, and Trey continuing his funk chords while Page adds accompanying effects. Trey starts to solo and the song begins to soar to a typical peak. But wait - the band starts playing Wipeout!! In the middle of Weekapaug the entire band makes a full reprise of their early set bust out, before returning to finish out Weekapaug in a speedy fashion. The song comes to almost complete close before reprising the ending of Weekapaug! What has gotten into the band during this set!? This is far more than just a brief re-ending of the song. Weekapaug slowly fades away as Mike takes the reigns with a driving bass line and Trey begins to lay down effects laden lead guitar lines. Mike continues to lead with a devastatingly addictive groove. Some of my favorite Mike playing of all time. This is an absolutely phenomenal "second jam" to Weekapaug. Definitely an early precursor to some of the Mike led jams of the 3.0 era. Page adds effects on the keyboard while Trey plays squeaky, screechy background licks. This is ambient groove at it's finest. Towards the end Mike begins to drop liquid bass bombs, and Fish picks up on his rhythm. Trey returns with growling chords to add to the building beat before it grinds to an abrupt halt. End set. But no
Trey plays the opening notes to Run Like an Antelope! This set is relentless! Unfortunately, this Antelope is more of an afterthought to the craziness that ensued before rather than an exclamation point. It's fine, it just lacks inspiration and is rather dull and uneventful in my opinion. A standard Antelope, nothing special here. Besides the "wow!" factor of one more song (and Antelope no less!) after the Weekapaug slowly faded out, I think that this Antelope adds very little to a legendary set. The jam actually starts out with interesting staccato interplay between Page and Trey, before escalating to an equally uninteresting tension filled Trey solo peak. (Note: after a couple of relistens, I have found things to enjoy within this Antelope. Definitely more going on than my initial listen led me to believe. I still stand by my opinion that this Antelope is not on par with the rest of the set, however.) I think that the main fault of this version actually lies with its length believe it or not. A more succinct version would have given a more energetic stamp to the end of the set.
The encore also starts out relatively uneventfully with a Wading and a Golgi before a very fun (if not expected) final reprise of Wipeout.
All in all, this is a wonderful show and an excellent choice for the LivePhish series. It combines the maniacal spontaneity and youthful energy of the early 90's with the deeper musical exploration and expression of the second half of the decade. A very strong first set full of interesting playing and great song choices coupled with such a fun and musical important second set should warrant 5 stars. The Antelope and the lackluster encore hold me back. I wish I could give this one a 4.5, but I'll settle for 4.
First song I ever heard by Phish, the studio version of Wading, I thought that was the most beautiful thing I had ever heard... fortunate it enough and to come to find, Phish plays live beauty

Radio Woodstock Presents
This hilarious comedy by the composer of Don Pasquale and Elixir of Love is known throughout the world as the opera that put Pavarotti on the map as the King of the High C's. The story centers around a girl who, found abandoned as a baby, was raised lovingly by a regiment of soldiers. At the stage of her life when she is emerging into womanhood and is a little rough around the edges from her lack of exposure to female behaviors, it is discovered that she is the daughter of aristocrats and must leave her beloved life with the regiment and learn how to fit into high society as a lady. The performances will be sung in French with English dialogue. English supertitles (translations above the stage) will enhance understanding and appreciation.

SAN JOSE -- The Sharks hoped to make life difficult for Jonathan Quick in Game 5, just as they did -- with stunning success -- early in the series.
Instead, Quick remained in his comfort zone for the second game in a row, and the Sharks lost for the second consecutive game.
The Kings' 3-0 victory Saturday marked Quick's eighth career playoff shutout and the fourth time he has blanked the Sharks in the postseason.
"We counted on him, and he made big saves," Kings defenseman Drew Doughty said. "But at the same time, the team's playing better in front of him. I thought it was probably our best defensive game so far this series, and we don't want Quickie to have to stand on his head every night."
His leaky performances in Games 1 and 2 are now a distant memory. One of the best goalies in the game has settled in.
The Sharks have no one to blame but themselves.
"We saw (in Games 1 and 2) that when guys are bumping him and in the crease, it makes him stay in the net," Sharks wing Matt Nieto said. "He can't come out and play the angles the way he likes to."
The Sharks did precious little bumping, distracting or deflecting Saturday. Loose pucks in the crease were few and far between. Rebound opportunities were scant.
It was usually one-and-done for the Sharks, who were 0 of 5 on the power play.
On the rare occasion the Sharks had an open window into Quick's net -- for instance, Andrew Desjardins in the first period -- they failed to convert.
"We moved it around at times," coach Todd McLellan said of the power play, "but after that, it looked like the rest of our game."
"Guys were going one way," Joe Pavelski said, "and the puck was going another."
Meanwhile, Quick was going where he wanted, when he wanted.
Hertl is rounding into shape after missing 45 games with a knee injury. He returned for the penultimate game of the regular season, then collected four points in four games against the Kings.
But he needed every minute of rest he could get.
"I didn't play for four months," he said. "I was OK after the first game, but it's nice to get a day off and have more energy."
Hertl has shown remarkably little rust since his April 11 return. He collected a goal and assist in the Game 1, becoming the first player in franchise history to record multiple points in his first postseason appearance.
He added the game-tying goal in the Game 3 victory.
"He's back in the form he was before the injury," Tommy Wingels said. "He was ready to roll from the start. He's a confident kid."
"I've always said this: I play better when I play more," Dan Boyle said.
Boyle averaged 22:03 minutes on ice in the first four games but played 23:28 in Game 5 because of the injury to Marc-Edouard Vlasic.
He becomes an unrestricted free agent July 1.
"Everybody says 37? I don't care," he said. "I play better the more I play. That's only natural for every individual in here."

OAKLAND -- Derek Norris earned himself a new nickname of "3-0, D-No" with his performance in Sunday's 9-1 victory over the Washington Nationals.
Norris tagged a pair of three-run home runs on 3-0 counts against former A's All-Star Gio Gonzalez to help Oakland complete a three-game sweep of the Nationals.
For Norris, who was traded from the Nationals to the A's in December 2011 in a deal involving Gonzalez, it was his first career multi-homer game, and they came in the first two innings.
"Just one of them special days. Can't really explain it other than somewhere Mama's giving me the power and strength to do something special on her day," Norris said of his Mother's Day feat.
Manager Bob Melvin gave Norris the green light in part because the A's rarely do so and he figured Gonzalez, having spent four big league seasons in Oakland, might be surprised.
"We don't do it a whole lot, especially against starters," Melvin said. "I think more than anything, probably the first time, Gio's been around here and knows we don't do that a whole lot. There's a little give and take to doing that if a guy has his good command early, and it didn't really look like Gio did."
Norris' two blasts were nearly identical on fastballs that sat right over the middle of the plate. Gonzalez seemed particularly frustrated after the second blast.
"Three-0, you try to get a pitch over the plate," Gonzalez said. "He took advantage of what you're supposed to do. Runners on base, two outs, why not try to capitalize on a pitcher's mistake, which is falling behind on a good hitter."
While Gonzalez was in a challenge mode when Norris hit the first-inning homer, he said the second-inning blast came on a pitch that went away from the target.
"In my mind I felt like it went a little more inside than what it was," Gonzalez said. "You look back at it, it was right down the middle."
Norris said he was surprised to see the second-inning pitch come right back down the plate.
"Last thing on my mind was that he was going to go there," Norris said. "Stay down and away or something, but he threw it middle away the first at-bat, maybe he thought he'd sneak one in there on the 3-0 again. I rarely miss those."
Norris delivered plenty of support for starter Scott Kazmir (5-1), who rebounded from his first loss of the season to throw seven shutout innings. Kazmir retired 15 batters in a row during one stretch and credited the early support provided by Norris.
"I don't think I've ever seen something like that before," Kazmir said. "Two 3-0 counts and being able to hit it right on the nose. That was awesome, especially early on in the game. I had a nice little cushion to be able to go out there and relax and play my game."

Throughout the recent debacle in Welsh rugby, I've been very impressed with the work of the regions' respective supporters' clubs. They've been to meetings with the WRU and RRW, and have published an honest account of proceedings.
Recently, I was part of a group of supporters' club representatives who wrote a letter of complaint to the BBC about the farcical ScrumV "Special" programme which was recorded in January. A programme all of us who were there know was heavily edited to favour the position of Roger Lewis. The response we received from the BBC could be best described as inadequate, and we are now going to raise this with the BBC Trust.
On Monday 17th February, representatives from the supporters' clubs met RRW to discuss the ongoing crisis once again. The minutes of this meeting have now been published, with the approval of RRW. You can read them here.
The minutes of this latest meeting are disappointing for many reasons.
Firstly, it's not clear who was in attendance.
Secondly, the minutes have no structure and the discussion points are not organised in a way which makes it simple to understand the various issues which were discussed.
Thirdly, there are basic grammatical errors which make the document difficult to read. In addition to this, the minutes are not written in an objective way. In fact at several points the writer adds emotive punctuation, such as exclamation marks, which makes it seem like a rant rather than a serious account of a meeting.
I'm all in favour of people venting their spleen about something which they clearly feel very passionate about, but these minutes have been approved by RRW's public relations representative, and are now in the public domain. Is this really the standard of document RRW should be putting their name to?
We all know that the WRU are never shy in putting their position forward in the media, while RRW have preferred to keep their own counsel, as Roger Lewis might put it.
If this is the best RRW can do, maybe it's better they keep quiet. These minutes are a mess.
Let me try and summarise the key points, because some of them are worth noting:
1. The WRU's proposal for a new PA
It appears the terms of this are even more in favour of the WRU than the original PA. Central contracts are the order of the day, and the regions will have to release players for internationals outside the IRB window at their own expense, with no compensation from the WRU.
2. The new European Cup
The WRU have finally agreed to a new competition, not run by the ERC. But we already knew that.
Stuart Gallacher (RRW CEO) resigned from ERC once RRW had stated they supported the new Rugby Champions Cup, to avoid any conflict of interest. If Roger Lewis is involved in negotiations on a new European Cup, surely he should follow suit and resign from ERC to avoid a similar conflict of interest?
3. The outstanding ERC payments
The WRU Finance department assured RRW in an email back in January that the payments would be made as expected. The ERC board were supposed to meet before January to decide on whether the payment would be made, but that meeting never took place.
4. The TV position
Sky and BT have met, but there is no agreement
5. WRU accounts
A thorough review of WRU financial position is needed, in light of the surplus highlighted by David Moffett.
6. WRU governance
Are the WRU board holding CEO Roger Lewis to account? An independent inquiry is needed.
7. WRU Director of Rugby
Josh Lewsey was appointed by a one-man interview panel. What qualities make him suitable for this role?
8. Central contracts
Why is the WRU pursuing this unilateral policy when it is obvious they are not the solution?
9. Celtic League
There has been no progress in planning for the future, for example sponsorship, TV contracts and composition. What are the Irish and the Scots doing to help keep this league going? The Italians have already said they are ready to leave.
10. WRU "loans" to the regions
These have to be paid back by 31st March, even though it is not clear whether the money will ever be paid by ERC.
11. The Anglo Welsh League
This is still an option. The English clubs are also anxious to have a competition to help them sell season tickets.
In summary:
None of this information is a surprise to those of us who have been following the issues. What is of most concern is that RRW don't seem to be able to speak for themselves, and instead seem happy to rely on well-meaning but incoherent information from meetings with supporters.
If RRW want to achieve their goals, they need to adopt a far more professional approach to communication. The WRU are already miles ahead of them in the PR race. RRW are falling further and further behind by the day. This is too important a matter to ignore.

The Stroller: 'Why?'
Published: Thursday, January 31, 2013 at 3:15 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, January 30, 2013 at 12:40 p.m.
As Columbus, N.C., residents Chris Burleson and his wife watched reports on yet another shooting in a school parking lot and the mention of assault-style rifles, the wife had questions. "Why does anyone other than law enforcement and military personnel need an assault weapon? Why are they so readily available to the public with quick-change magazines so the shooter can rattle off hundreds of shots a minute?" she asked. But the question Mr. Burleson has is, "Why do the courts allow these people to get off with an insanity plea? If the legal system would hold these monsters accountable for their actions instead of giving them a way out, then maybe we could have a deterrent. A good one would be to have these bodies of evil to be sentenced to 40 years of hard labor instead of giving them three hot meals a day, a roof over their heads and a bed to sleep in."
NOT SO FAST: Ben Cromer of Inman, when sizing up the rally for gun control, gives folks something to think about: "A person steals guns, which is against the law, shoots and kills his own mother, which is against the law, transports these guns loaded, which is against the law, brings guns onto school property, which is against the law, breaks into the school, which is against the law, discharges the weapons within city limits, which is against the law, murders 26 people, which is against the law, and commits suicide, which is against the law. And there are people in this country who somehow think passing another law banning guns would protect us from someone like this. If you haven't noticed, people like this are not concerned about breaking laws. They only care about fulfilling their own twisted agenda. The only people a gun ban law would impact are the law-abiding citizens, and it would only serve to cripple the ability to protect ourselves."
'TREMENDOUS WORK': Chuck and Sylvia Schmelz of Spartanburg are singing the praises of the team of health care professionals on the seventh floor of the tower at Spartanburg Regional Medical Center. "We wish to thank them for the tremendous work they do with postoperative patients," says Mr. Schmelz. "Although my wife would rather have been someplace else having a vacation, she had to have an operation, and she was treated like a queen during her postop stay. Thanks to all for your professionalism and dedication to helping the ill."
QUIPS A WISE GUY: "Always borrow money from a pessimist. He won't expect it back."
ODDS AND ENDS: The Spartanburg Heritage Committee is celebrating its 10th anniversary with a luncheon Saturday at the C.C. Woodson Community Center at 210 Bomar St. in Spartanburg. The cost of a ticket to the 11:30 a.m. event is $10. You can get tickets by calling 431-3886. On Feb. 16, beginning at 10 a.m. at Carver Middle School and ending at Memorial Auditorium, the 10th annual Black Heritage Parade will take place. With 10 bands invited to participate, this is one parade you don't want to miss. Folks attending the parade are encouraged to bring a canned food for the Spartanburg Soup Kitchen.
The Thursday Afternoon Acting Group at the University of South Carolina Upstate begins today. It's an after-school theater program for children ages 8 to 18 and meets on Thursdays from 4 to 6 p.m. To register, contact Rich Robinson at 503-5621.

Battle for World Beer Dominance: SABMiller Enters Brazil
A corporate strategy article by Thunderbird students Joel Baughman, Srinivas Chundi, Mikhail Kholyavko, Chintan Patel and Chris Vadner
There are striking similarities between the colonial powers of past and contemporary beer conglomerates. For years, there has been an uneasy quiet in the world beer markets as brewers have carved out territories and regions for themselves, often finding themselves in close proximity with competitors. Until now, they have appeared reluctant to disturb the status quo and encroach on competitors' turf in pursuit of increased market share. Nevertheless, consolidation has accelerated in recent years, leading to high industry concentration. The growth in demand for beer in emerging markets, coupled with saturation and stagnation in developed markets, promises to unsettle this uneasy calm and force brewers to rethink their strategy. As these large conglomerates come under increasing pressure from restless investors looking for revenue and profit growth, any gentleman's agreement that might exist is less likely to be honored in the future. Major players are poised to engage in full-blown competitive conflict in order to conquer new markets.

Earth Day is quickly approaching and to celebrate the 40th Anniversary we're partnering with Sustainable Harvest to save 10,000 trees. To save a tree all you have to do is become a fan of the BookRenter Facebook page. We'll even let you name the tree (ours is Willow) and we'll send you a link to download a certificate of honor and give you a online badge for some bragging rights!
Why Save a Tree?
– Trees are key to our ecosystem and create homes for our furry and winged friends!
– Forty trees remove 80 pounds of air pollutants annually
– An average size tree produces enough oxygen in one year to keep a family of four breathing
– A 70-year old tree stores over three tons of carbon
Plus…we're also having a Hug a Tree contest. Simply give a tree (any tree) a big old bear hug, take a picture and submit it. You'll be entered to win a do-it-yourself eco-trip ($600 in REI store credit, a 1-year National Parks pass plus other eco-goodies).
So become a fan, get your camera out and join in on the fun. The first 50 people who enter the Hug A Tree photo contest also get a free BookRenter.com Earth Day 2010 t-shirt.
Go Green!
P.S. In addition to saving, naming and hugging a tree, a few of us in the BookRenter corporate office pledge to use reusable bags when we shop for all things personal life. It is something that we do on occasion, but we want to make it happen every time we shop. At the grocery store, at the mall, at the farmer's market, etc. Just taking the extra time to remember to bring it and use it. Do you have a personal pledge this Earth Day? If so, let us know, we would love to hear about it.

Sarasota County talks of restoring spending
Published: Friday, February 8, 2013 at 6:06 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, February 8, 2013 at 6:06 p.m.
Years of deep budget cuts have started to catch up with Sarasota County, leaving residents complaining and county leaders talking about restoring some of the spending as they face an improving budget picture.
Friday's Sarasota County Commission workshop focused on the county's general fund, which pays for most basic services, from law enforcement to parks and libraries. The county projects $250 million in general fund spending next year, a $5 million increase.
• Property tax revenue growth will cover much of that increase, but the budget also relies heavily on reserves:
• Nearly 14 percent of 2013-2014 general fund spending, or $35 million, will come from the county's reserve fund. That will reduce the $128 million in reserves by 27 percent. Budget projections have the county relying on another $38 million from reserves in both 2015 and 2016.
Although commissioners focused on the general fund Friday, the county has roughly 100 different funds and a total budget of $896 million.
Property values are expected to increase throughout Sarasota County for the first time since the start of the Great Recession when the 2012 numbers are finalized in July.
The projected 2.5 percent increase would boost the county's general fund budget by $2.7 million for the fiscal year that begins in October.
The money will come in handy as county commissioners grapple with the backlash from a number of money-saving measures taken as property tax collections plummeted during the recession.
Basic services like resurfacing roads, mowing along roadway medians and maintaining ball fields have suffered. Commissioners are considering restoring spending cuts in all three areas, along with other budget increases, such as $845,000 for employee raises and between $500,000 and $750,000 to take over police and other emergency dispatching services from local cities.
County Administrator Randall Reid described many of the budget priorities Friday during the first planning session for the 2013-2014 fiscal year as "trying to make up for some of the things that have been cut or reduced in the past."
One cut that has drawn intense scrutiny is a decision to reduce the county's workforce and rely more heavily on private firms to cut grass along roadways.
Sarasota resident Andrea Rody died in August after being hit by a car while mowing a public median. The mowing contractor responsible for the median had stopped working, prompting Rody to cut the overgrown grass herself.
Reid proposed Friday that the county hire 24 employees at a cost of $600,000 annually to handle more mowing "in house."
Reid also recommended boosting maintenance funds for the county's 110 athletic fields, another area of the budget cut during the recession. New equipment will cost $1.1 million. The county also plans to hire 18 maintenance workers at a cost of $420,000 annually.
"Some of our services and our maintenance has really suffered in a number of areas," said Commissioner Nora Patterson.
The commission also voted to move money around so that a stretch of River Road can be resurfaced.
"It's a true blue safety problem," said Commissioner Christine Robinson.
But Robinson was frustrated that funding has not been identified for other road priorities.
Road resurfacing spending peaked at nearly $10 million in 2009, boosted in part by the federal stimulus program, but dropped to around $1 million in 2012. Resurfacing spending is ramping back up this year, but commissioners are concerned that some projects have languished for too long.
"This isn't getting any better for us," Robinson said. "The complaints keep rolling in and the roads keep deteriorating."
The mowing, athletic fields and road resurfacing spending are considered high enough priorities that commissioners plan to amend their current budget instead of waiting for next year to make changes.
Other issues such as employee raises and consolidating emergency dispatch functions are being considered for the 2013-2014 budget.
Commissioners strongly supported taking over dispatching for the cities of Venice and North Port, and the Town of Longboat Key. They did not discuss the proposal to boost employee salaries.

Steelers | Would like LaMarr Woodley to work out differently
Sun, 17 Feb 2013 17:54:45 -0800 The Pittsburgh Steelers believe LB LaMarr Woodley (ankle, groin, hamstring) dealt with several injuries last season, including a training camp groin injury, and an ankle and hamstring injury in the regular season. The team believes that Woodley needs to approach his offseason workouts with more diligence to avoid the kinds of injuries that have dogged him the past two seasons.

My theory is it was Tomlin or Rooney who said it and told the writer to call it an unnamed player.
Worilds looks great at Woodley's spot. I think the D would be fine with him and James on the outside. And we're gonna need James replacement in the next couple years.
Agreed. But I'm not optimistic that James will be here this coming season.Originally Posted by flippy
I think we may well need him THIS year.And we're gonna need James replacement in the next couple years.
Having watched the Jets implode with anonymous sources sniping at each other in the paper (not their only problem, of course) I would rather not see the Steelers turn into the Jets...

Nice to see active development on this issue.
The only thing I have to report is that whenever I return to the main shares folder (the main directory that shows the shared folders selected in PMS) from inside any other folder, it errors out and kicks me off to the selection menu and I have to re-enter the AllShare Play server again so I can browse the shares again. Not a big issue though... but still worth checking out. Also, M2TS files with MPEG2 + AC3 content are showing up as not compatible on the TV, even though they should be. Same exact content remuxed to MKV plays fine. I'm gonna test this one M2TS from within a USB drive cuz maybe it's a PMS bug. Will report back later.

How to Maintain Emotional Wellness When You Have Ovarian Cancer
Many women may live with ovarian cancer for a number of years. That's why it's important to stay as physically and emotionally well as possible. A combination of exercise, such as walking or swimming, and other healthful habits, such as following a well-balanced diet and refraining from smoking, can be helpful.
It's important to keep a positive frame of mind. You can do this in a number of ways — through exercise, meditation, religion, spirituality, therapy, and, if needed, antidepressant medications.
It's important that your treatment is guided by a gynecologic oncologist, a subspecialist in the diagnosis and treatment of gynecologic cancers. Because of his or her special training, he or she is familiar with the potential emotional problems a woman with ovarian cancer may experience, which enables coordination of the care you need.
Find a support network
It helps to maintain a strong relationship with your health care team. They are the best resource for getting you the emotional support you need.
Counseling may be very helpful for you. You can ask your doctor, other health care provider, or hospital social worker for a recommendation to a trained therapist. Most hospitals, from major cancer centers to small community hospitals, employ a social worker and counselor.
Many women try to deal with all of their complex feelings on their own, but it can be a huge emotional burden. Women will see an expert to treat their cancer, but they often don't seek an expert in how to deal with the emotions caused by that cancer.
A support group, specifically one made up of women who have ovarian cancer, can be helpful. These groups can act as a social network, educational resource, and support structure. In a support group, you can spend time with women who have survived the cancer. There are survivors. Women need to know that.
If you can't find a local group specifically for ovarian cancer, you can find support online.
Women living with ovarian cancer and their family members should also seek advocacy information and support from various national ovarian cancer groups. This may include getting in touch with the National Ovarian Cancer Coalition (888-682-7426) or the Foundation for Women's Cancer (800-444-4441), created by the Society of Gynecologic Oncologists. The Ovarian Cancer National Alliance (866-399-6262) is another organization that may be helpful.
In addition, many women with ovarian cancer choose to receive a monthly newsletter called Conversations. The newsletter is written by an ovarian cancer survivor. It has updates in research, treatments, and news, as well as a networking service that can help you find another woman living with ovarian cancer in your area. For more information, visit its website or call 210-401-1604.
Still, the decision to find a support group is a personal one. Some women benefit from them, while others do not. Women with ovarian cancer can also gain emotional empowerment by educating themselves.
Seek expert advice and care
You will want to make sure you get the best medical care and treatment available. Choosing your doctor and treatment center is one of the most important decisions you will make. There are many excellent cancer treatment centers throughout the U.S. To find a doctor who specializes in cancer of a woman's reproductive system, called a gynecologic oncologist, call the Foundation for Women's Cancer at 800-444-4441.
It is very important that your particular findings be put into context by an expert. Gynecologic oncologists are subspecialists with advanced training in the diagnosis, treatment, and surveillance of female cancers including ovarian cancer.
Communicating with your health care team
Many health care professionals recommend that you research your cancer, educate yourself, and ask your health care team as many questions as you feel are necessary. Be careful not to interpret statistics too literally.
It's important not to apply to yourself everything you read. You may want to share articles you have questions about with your doctor. Make a list of questions before you visit your doctor. Never feel rushed. You should feel that your doctor is addressing all of your questions and concerns. If something isn't clear, ask again. Always maintain clear lines of communication with all members of your health care team.

STOCKTON - A female juvenile at Chavez High School was arrested Monday by Stockton Unified police officers for allegedly assaulting a female teacher in class, district officials confirmed. After being released, Chief Jim West said, the student shared a cellphone video of the incident with a local television station. The girl said the video tells a different story.
"If they have any information to determine the truth of the matter, we'd like them to give it to us," West said Tuesday night. "We're as interested in establishing innocence as we are in proving guilt."

Snooping bill is a myth, says Clegg
Keep calm and carry on emailing
THE LEADER of the Liberal Democrats part of the UK coalition Government has told everyone to calm down about the proposed internet snooping bill, saying that it is only a draft and just an idea.
In an interview with the BBC Clegg said that the bill, which has the backing of the Home Office and Home Secretary Theresa May is only "in draft" and suggested that before it becomes anything worth worrying about it will be slowed down in delay, debate and discussions with stakeholders.
"There's been a lot of scaremongering, a lot of myths about in the media over the last couple of days," he said.
"Any measures will be proportionate. They will not sacrifice people's civil liberties, we will not create a new government database and we will not give police new powers to look into people's emails. Let's be clear, we aren't simply going to ram some legislation through Parliament."
This suggests a lengthy delay as it will give internet service providers and web firms a chance to talk about their role in a system that will require a lot of storage, not to mention shredding civil liberties in the UK.
However, unless things have changed at the Home Office the Government plan is to get the proposals approved as soon as possible.
"We will legislate as soon as parliamentary time allows to ensure that the use of communications data is compatible with the Government's approach to civil liberties," the Home Office said two days ago.
"It is vital that police and security services are able to obtain communications data in certain circumstances to investigate serious crime and terrorism and to protect the public. We need to take action to maintain the continued availability of communications data as technology changes."
We would ask Clegg why, if the bill is really only a draft and merely an idea, the proposals are expected to be announced during the Queen's Speech. µ
