October 16, 2008
Roseland Ballroom
New York, NYI: [8:27PM] Sand, Cayman Review, Let Me Lie, Gotta Jibboo, Dragonfly, First Tube [9:27PM]

6 PM: The back of the venue is blocked off as John McCain will be entering the Ed Sullivan Theater across from the back entrance of Roseland for a taping of The Late Show w/ David Letterman. As of now there are only about ten people on line waiting for the show and a slew of folks both shady and wookie selling extras. This could be the easiest Trey ticket in quite some time.
W. 53rd closed for John McCain, but I could faintly make out Alaska from Trey’s soundcheck
Police trucks and secret service line the street behind the venue
A group of Trey lovers await their hero
A group of McCain lovers await their hero
A group of photographers capture McCain’s entrance
8PM:: The crowd fills in at a medium pace
8:27PM: Show starts. Sand.
8:34PM: The floor is jam packed with bodies using every inch of space to dance.
8:36PM: Trey builds the crowd into a frenzy with a ferocious solo
8:40PM: Cayman Review
8:48PM: Let Me Lie
8:56PM: Gotta Jibboo
9:01PM: The ears of everyone around perk up as Trey starts the Jibboo solo with a dirty dirty wah’d out tone.
9:03PM: All of a sudden, Trey kicks off the Wah for a deliciously crunchy tone to start the second segment of the jam
9:12PM: Dragonfly
9:20PM: I still dislike Dragonfly. Backup vocals hurting.
9:21PM: First Tube
9:27PM: End set.
9:54PM: Alaska
9:59PM: Last Tube
10:08PM: The floor looks so packed that most folks aren’t even dancing or moving.
10:13PM: Sweet Dreams Melinda
10:22PM: Valentine
Side-shot:
10:30PM: Drifting
10:33PM: Can’t find a place with good sound. Not loud enough.

10:56PM: Band brings jam down to near silence…ley’s Ray solo on organ
11:03PM: Spin

See you guys in Richmond, Trey I’ll expect the 27 Hampton tickets I need as well.
cool protest during the day and party at night!
TREY! alright back on the train tonight.
shine on trey
Sweet.
Judging by tht 8 PM photo, it looks like Trey started on time.
Well maybe not – I’m confused by the 8 PM photo and then the setlist says Sand at 8:27.
Yes The show started at 8:27
Great to hear, the Brklyn Sand was sweet!
And now that photo moved from 8 PM to 8:34 PM. All done with the play by play. See ya tomorrow night!
let’s go Trey!

I was hoping for the Dragonfly to return.
ha ha.
that’s beautiful. Cheers!
i got pinned by the GDF
who am i?
Pin’d
TRUE family doesnt go to Trey shows tbh tyvm imho niwndiaf
I still have a small bit of caca that I haven’t fully nibbled out leftover from this morning under the finger nail on my right middle finger.
Wonder how the 15-16 minute Jiboo sounded? I am currently listening to a version from the 9:30 club in DC back from 5/11/99 and it is SICK!!!!!!!!
Can’t wait for the Electric Factory next Friday!
GO PHILLIES!!!!!
does Trey realize Jason P is the only one who wants to hear Dragonfly and Shine? And he’s not there!
i am so siked from this review.
who’s HT staff?
scotty b. and ace?
you guys need some reivew love from albany or HG?
Phanatic ………………..yeah…the compression helped trey get his tone, but it was his fender twin that really did the trick…
Change your name to People for Original Trey Sound
People for the Original Trey Tone….POTT…..hippies will like it
Man, set 2 is really bombing!
gettin a lil better now
god i would kill to hear RIFT live again.
It will be interesting to see how much these shows vary setlis-wise. I hope I don’t get the same set 2 tomorrow night – JEEEEEZ!
See you tuesday and thursday- can’t even wait!
I’d love an accoustic back on the train, and some night speaks to a woman!!! =)
How can people not at the show claim a set is bombing? I was at the show, on the train back now, and I have to say that tonight was amazing. Great jams, good phish covers and the band was surprisingly tight. Sound could have been a little better but it wasn’t too bad. The acoustic stuff was solid
And he made me laugh when he was playing a
Phish song on acoustic and claimed he had to play it for practice. Can’t wait foe Hampton. Great to have u back trey!
just getting back now. I thought the brooklyn show was a lot hotter than tonight. jiboo was the hilite of set 1. set 2 was pretty decent from Valentine on. But as a whole, show was pretty mediocore…and I loved brooklyn.
who wants my hampton extras? $45,000 cash only! you get 6 tickets….hell, at $45,000 for 6..thats a steal! Way to book a venue that only holds 12,500 per night when there are 190,000 lottery requests. What have they been smoking? So many people will be shut out just so all the sclapers can grab their blocks to sell on ebay for $45,000.
might as well be $45,000 in todays economy…
trey has played there a few other times too (as a guest).. jammys ’02 (the infamous ‘we did too many drugs’ at bonaroo acceptance speech)…. with vida blue NYE ’01
decent show.. not as good as brooklyn though.
i like your post J$. good history.

At least Trey is hitting the stage again. He needs to practice a lot from what I read on the ‘net. How many tapers BTW?
That comment about the sound not being loud enough was right on. I had the same problem, but thought the show was solid otherwise. I actually really enjoyed the acoustic songs, but I’m also a huge B&R fan. The Roseland is still a joke, but it wasn’t quite as crowded as I expected.
The sound is really inconsistent throughout Roseland. I thought it was pretty packed.
Look at these haters, ripping the Phish lottery system on a Trey article and review. Way to go, asshole. Phish is huge, there’s no place big enough for them to satisfy tickets for every single fan that wants to see their first shows back. Their festivals are absolutely sick and CAN accommodate the fans, chill out and wait for the spring/summer/whatever it may be. Stop crying and be happy that the boys will be back AND RIPPING STRONG fairly shortly!
Anyway- The sound is always kinda quiet at Roseland, no surprise there, I’m hoping tonight in Wallingford he spices things up a bit.
i happen to love phish…but they seem to hate me and the other people that will shut out in march.
I guarantee they don’t hate any of us, I would bet my life on it.
Phish Love the Phamily, they are back for US and they joy of what moves through them-us, we are inseperable. If phish didn’t care about their fans they be back charging 250.00 a ticket, they’d still sell-out every venue.
i for one am happier than ive been in some time, its gonna be a long 6 month wait, but ill be as ready as one can be march 6th 8pm for LIGHTS OUT, boy oh boy, its gonna be a throwdawn!!!!!
NAMASTE
