REAL BIG PHISH: On Friday night I went to see Phish at Nassau Coliseum on Long Island, my first time seeing the vaunted jam band since the famed Big Cypress new years' festival in 2000. While I am certainly an unlikely member of Phish Nation (I've never been to more than one Phish show in the same week, I own next to no tie-dyed clothing, and I shaved that morning), I did have a good time at the show; most notably, the band played "Destiny Unbound," a song they hadn't played live since 1991 (Bush is president, we've going to war with Iraq, Phish is playing "Destiny Unbound," etc. etc.). For those of you who care about such things, here is the setlist. Though I'm guessing those of you who really care and have already seen (and memorized) all of the recent setlists.
And in even more exciting concert news- I went out Saturday morning on two hours' sleep and got four tickets for Bruce Springsteen at Giants Stadium on July 15. I've been sick ever since after waiting outside for two and a half hours, but whatever. It was worth it for my first-ever Bruce show.
