My buddy Mike and I traveled 8 hours north for the show in Mansfield, Mass and I'm not going to sit here and lie to you, it worth every minute of it as it turned out to easily be one of the best days of my life. The atmosphere was unbelievable and it is hard to beat watching and listening to 4 of the best DJ's in the world for 5 straight hours. A few smaller DJ's started the show off, but it really began to turn for the better when DJ Chuckie hopped on the stage. He amazed everyone [...]
Words : Eric Wyman Phish @ Great Woods, June 7 As the geographic center of Phish's original fanbase, shows in Massachusetts have always held a special reverence. Located in Mansfield, the Comcast Center (formerly known as Great Woods) has long been the New England summer destination of choice. With historic shows spanning 15 dates and including a legendary Gamehendge performance in 1994, it's hard to find a fan who doesn't have at least one epic story from Great Woods. With the modern era, gone [...]
Phish @ Great Woods (Comcast Center), June 7 Phish returns to the venue formerly known as Great Woods – now the Comcast Center – for the 15th time this evening as the quartet's summer tour continues in Mansfield, MA. Starting on July 21, 1992, a show where Phish opened for Santana, the venue has been a regular stop for the band outside of 1996 - 1998 and 2003. HT's Eric Wyman will be reporting live from the show for [...]
I always like to write something to accompany these tunes. I like to tell you about the club, or about the occasion which has brought them (or somebody else) to record a song to (usually) commemorate the occasion. But I have a few files knocking about which isn't enough to warrant a full post, plus I spotted a connection between them. So here for you is the first part of a non-league* special. *I know that some of them are league teams now, I'm being loose [...]
Hounslow Britpop luminaries the Bluetones will be going on their 'Golden Soul Tour' starting the 18th of November. Support will be Married to the Sea . You can watch the video for 'Carry Me Home', from their latest album 'A New Athens', released back in May. Top tune. And top album! Thursday 18th November 2010 – Liverpool Academy 2 Friday 19th November 2010 - Stockton Ku Saturday 20th November 2010 - Guildford Boilerroom [...]
There may be a temptation to think every time you see Ozzy Osbourne perform that it'll be your last. That kind of went through my mind a few times during the Boston show – the last of the 2010 Ozzfest — especially considering the death this year of Ronnie James Dio . But then I saw Ozzy and he sure doesn't seem like a guy on a victory lap. He had as much energy and enthusiasm as he did the first time I saw him back in the early 1990s on the "No More Tears" tour. Back [...]
The first leg of Phish Summer Tour 2010 came to a close on Sunday night at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre in Alpharetta, GA. We'll have plenty of recaps of all sorts over the next week, but for now we wanted to present "just the facts." We've put together a list of every setlist (via Phish.net ) and have detailed our favorite audio sources, videos, reviews and photo galleries from each of the 18 shows Phish has performed thus far in 2010. 06/11/2010 Toyota Park Chicago, IL [...]
Phish returns to the venue formerly known as Great Woods - now the Comcast Center - for the 14th time this evening as the quartet's summer tour continues in Mansfield, MA. Starting on July 21, 1992, a show where Phish opened for Santana, the venue has been a regular stop for the band. Follow @YEMblog for reports from Great Woods or keep up with the action in real-time via PhishTwit and JamBase/Phish . We'll have a recap of [...]
So I was surprised to see that I somehow got backslapped in the comment section for a post that I did not write - and that was not written about me. The culprit was Trill Gates - a (now) former regular gadfly who likes to talk crazy shit as if his opinion matters. This time he had a beef with my sharing MY Boston Phoenix coverage here on JumpTheTurnStyle. You know - because why would I want hip-hop fans to read my articles? Baseless hating - nothing more. So - in honor of Mr. [...]
The expected response from a dude in his mid-'30s walking around the Warped Tour is "I feel so old." But fuck that. This was fun when I was in my teens and 20s and it's still a blast, even if I have sweatshirts older than the kids in BrokeNCYDE . I haven't been in a mosh pit in at least 10 years, but somehow I wound up in the middle of a sea of humanity at the main stage watching Denver electro-pop kids 3OH!3 . It was one of those moments where you're standing at a [...]
Ever since my days as a wee hip-hop junkie, I've been a fan of DJ Eclipse . In various capacities. As a mixtape DJ, Non-Phixion 's deck demon, or as the dude who told me what records to buy at Fat Beats on 6th Avenue, he was a renaissance cat to look up to. Anyway...I had a few back-and-forth emails today with Eclipse about La Coka Nostra , since he's helping manage the group and I'm writing a mega-feature about them for next week's Boston Phoenix (previewing [...]
If I Could - Phish 7.1.95 - Great Woods Ampitheater, Mansfield, MA If I Could has always been one of my favorite Phish ballads. For a band with often very nonsensical lyrics, this one stands out. The song's lyrics and music were both written by Trey, who wanted to cheer up friend Amy Skelton after a breakup she was struggling with. This version of note because it features the beautiful guitar intro that was part of the original version of the song but only briefly teased before Antelope on 12.29.93 and played at [...]
You Enjoy Myself > Frankenstein > You Enjoy Myself - Phish 7.8.1994 - Great Woods, Mansfield, MA Though the Gamehendge set (the last ever narrated in its entirety) would have been a fitting way to kick off TBR's Phish Friday tradition, the Set II YEM sandwich is the definition of Phish at their best. The transitions are seamless, the teases rampant, and the Gordo's signature '94 YEM funk is at full blast. It is so smooth that if you cut out the Frankenstein, you are left with a rockin YEM worthy of [...]
