While I was home resting, I watched Hannah and Her Sisters, one of my favorite Woody Allen films. He always makes me laugh. I also watched the rest of the Phish! Live in Las Vegas DVD recorded at the Thomas & Mack Arena on Trey's birthday, 9.30.00. It's a pretty good concert. I was there with Heather and the Japhans, Yuh & Jun.
The highlights included:
• the crowd singing Happy Birthday to Trey
• the band switching instruments for Walfredo
• Mike's Song, which was fuckin' sick!
• a rare Esther where Trey flubbs the lyrics
• Trey's dream that he shares with everyone
• Mike singing the encore of Emotional Rescue
It was an amazing show. And the extras on the DVD include three songs (Camel Walk, Piper & Guy Forget) from the show the very next night, on 10.1.00 in Phoenix, Arizona at Desert Sky. I was there with Molly!
