Phish - Festivalography Pt 4/4
Your time is near, the mission’s clear
For a Phish fan, this last part brings it full circle. From the disaster that was Coventry and the bad shape Trey was in, to a healthy, rejuvinated and forward looking group throwing what stands to be one of the most exciting live music events of the year.
We’re leaving LA shortly and heading to Indio. We’ll be providing updates all weekend long on The Butter Room’s From The Road blog.

The Butter Room East Coast is Dialed in.
My Wife and I just moved into a new house yesterday. It’s pretty much the only reason we’re not at 8 living it up with many of the other guys and gals who are out in Indio.
Since we’re not there, we are here, in Pennsylvania, with my XM radio Rube Goldberg’d together on top of a TV box, and wires strung all over the place, up on our 3rd floor attic bedroom that is super sweet waiting for the show to begin live on Sirius/XM.
I’ll be posting periodically about the show in case you don’t have XM and have chosen to follow The Butter Room.
Really looking forward to the Halloween set tomorrow. With such powerhouse albums left it will be interesting.
Well, Phish is getting it started with “PARTY TIME”! They’re clearly ready to throw down.

Phish - Festival 8, Indio, CA - 10/30/09
Set I
Party Time, Chalkdust Torture, Moma Dance, NICU, Stealing Time From the Faulty Plan, I Didn’t Know, Poor Heart, Cavern, Beauty of a Broken Heart, Ocelot, Time Turns Elastic
Very nicely worked up since I saw it when first played at Merriweather. CDT had an uncharacteristically laid back non-rock out Jam, a welcome change, building to the rock out end. The Moma was super funky right from the get go. Really well done. Matt called and said those first three were really a great way to get things started. NICU was a standard version, but at as always fun. PLAYYYY IT LEO! Rockin. Stealing Time was great. My favorite new song, except Sugar Shack and maybe Party Time just because. Not your typical Stash…This one is fire. They went a little out there with the jam, one of the better ones I’ve heard in a very long time. Vacuum busted out the first night. The return of Henrietta! Comments from Trey about Fish playing the sound in the shape of an 8. Poor heart was well played, started nicely out of I Didn’t Know. Trey rocked out Cavern, it was very on point. Great jam in Ocelot, otherwise standard. For whatever reason I actually really liked this TTE. Something I wasn’t able to say about most versions this summer.
Trey’s tone and voice both sound really great. Better, brighter and tighter than summer.
SET II
Punch You In The Eye > Down With Disease > Prince Caspian > Wolfman’s Brother>Piper>Joy, David Bowie, Harry Hood, Golgi Apparatus
Umm holy crap. Set II is melting my face and I’m sitting at home in bed with my laptop. That disease was just sick. The jams from one song to the next have be wondrous. The dissolve of Wolfman’s into Piper was like nothing I’ve heard from this band in a very long time. I believe it was teasing the Who’s I Am The Sea. The Piper itself was out there and interesting, very dreamy/floaty sounding jamming and a flighty vocal jam tease of Light at the end. Then we have a 1-2 punch of a colossal Bowie and Hood combo…followed by a curiously placed, but very well played Golgi. This set was a monster.
Trey hints at David Bowie being the possible Halloween pick just before Bowie.
And yeah, the boys are finally and officially in Take>A>Set>To>Jam>Into>Other>Songs>Mode…
ENCORE
Character Zero
I think the statement I could make that would best sum up this show for me is that they’ve all finally got their legs back 100%. The whole show sounded completely comfortable and, right now, those legs are as big around as California Redwoods.
3am here. Signing off.

99 Albums in 4:20 - Eclectic Method
Played as a live intro to Phish’s Exile On Main St. Set 10.31.09 - Empire Polo Club, Indio, CAOne of the coolest parts of the Ocho was the cover set of The Rolling Stones’ Exile on Main Street. However, this intro video that came on 4:20 before the set started got everyone dancing and going nuts as Phish took the stage, putting an end to the game that so many of us have enjoyed the past month! Give it a watch, it sums up some of the best artists and albums in rock and roll history!

Phish at the Movies in 3D!!!!
This is going to be sweet! Not too keen on the fact that they likened Phish using this to Hannah Montanta but what can you do. Since I didn’t personally make it to Ocho, this’ll be a great way to see some footage of the event. Click the title of this post for the story.

What is The Butter Room?
The Butter Room was built to spread and discuss live music. The contributors of this site all volunteer their time to provide the content. We do this as a labor of love. Our name, The Butter Room, references an small, low-lit room in a Virginia Tech Fraternity with nothing but a few benches and tables. You go there to get away from all distractions and have a conversation, which is what we want to foster here: a place where you can get away from all the distractions of life to enjoy and discuss live music.
