worldrecordplayer Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 I was in the Worcester Centrum with my family for the Runaway Jam show. Longest single song performance in Phish history. At least it was. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites
worldrecordplayer Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 I watched a lot of it all weekend: Ween sets, Phish shows, UM, MMJ, TTB, P&F, CRB, etc. Besides Ween and Phish being on fire, I had never seen/listened to Tedeschi/Trucks and WHOA was I impressed. Also, very impressed with MMJ (who I barely know), and Gary Clark, Jr. TTB is an awesome band, glad you had your introduction. Don't miss them next time they're in your neighborhood. We were away with friends this weekend so my time was spotty, but caught a bunch of both Phish shows and a little of Phil. I completely missed MMJ but by all accounts they were the set of the festival. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites
remphish1 Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Umm so Springsteen last night! His longest us show ever and second longest of his career! In addition his best setlist in my opinion in the last two decades!! Link to post Share on other sites

Lammycat Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 endless noodle.Nope, it actually ended. There were lyrics involved, too. The song is called "Runaway Jim". There were many components of Jazz involved, too, which is a style of music that involves a lot of free-form (or "noodling"), as well. Link to post Share on other sites

Lammycat Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Oh, I bet Mr. Blount would. A buddy gave Jon Fishman a ride from NY (after a Wetlands show) back to NH area in late 80s and reported that he talked about Sun Ra most of the ride. I bet Sun Ra would dig the band from Vermont, he being a part of and hip to eclectic an innovative music.... Link to post Share on other sites

Watch a documentary on the place earlier this year and it looked like it would have been a cool place to see a show. Link to post Share on other sites

Pretty sure Shapiro was running it back then. Link to post Share on other sites

God Street Wine, Gibb Droll, Lake Trout, Guster, Push Stars.. I loved that place!! Link to post Share on other sites
brownie Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 I saw a couple of shows at Wetlands. The best was Nick Lowe, when he still rocked out. What a great show that was! I don't remember much about the place, other than there was a psychedelic vibe, and I think I remember the room being wide but not deep, so that even in the back, you weren't too far away from the stage. Was there a psychedelic-painted van parked inside? But I could very well be misremembering...it was such a very long time ago. Link to post Share on other sites

remphish1 Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Yep wetlands had a van parked inside. They sometimes sold merch out of it. The lower level were also covered in neon and lot of blacklights. Link to post Share on other sites

And it was always pretty packed and hot anywhere in there. Link to post Share on other sites

SarahC Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Oh man I'm seeing Television on Saturday. First time. Report back on how the show was if you think about it! Link to post Share on other sites
Alone in the Zone Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Great Television show! They played most of Marquee - the major exception being See No Evil. Also, they have been playing a track from the 1992 album called 1880 Or So that I highly rec absorbing pre-show. There was also a 14 minute jazz freak out that I had never heard before -- maybe it was Persia? Overall band was tight and Verlaine is still the prickly, idiosyncratic God that made Television great. And Bob Boulen from NPR was in the house - he is a fan! Link to post Share on other sites
