[Update] Phish :: Live In Brooklyn

Phish :: Live In Brooklyn

I had written a little blurb about this the other day after just listening on Rhapsody but this past week we went out to see the actual movie and I've gotta say...WoW.

You forget sometimes how good the band is, and while the memories of the Coventry meltdown seem to linger, there exists very strongly moments of glory too many to count and this show is a great example.

They can stretch out to that "space" and dominate, take over the evening, they're untouchable.

While I have personal reservations as to the validity of announcing your own depature as what seems as only a mechanism to add more intensity to an already crazed situation, it's clear that the band's passion and timing shine through in this 'farewell' tour opener to the point of celebration and positive union.

I think for many fans who were shocked / dissapointed / confused / left-wanting-more / complete or had just moved on after '98, sitting back on your couch and watching this show (or dancing in your living room) could prove to be a gentle sturring reminder of truly how good the band can be when they want to.

Damn, now I want them to get back together...

p.s. The Divided Sky encore at Greatwoods on 8/11/04 is pretty awesome
