Looks like that was a pretty cool show Walker! Props for learning some of the more difficult tunes, especially as a band. Any video recording or audio of the show? Or even a couple songs?

Yep, we've got audio on Dropbox now, just need to split up the tracks then we'll post to the Archive. We've got video of the 2nd set too but it's not great...there was someone standing in front of the camera the whole time blocking most of the view. Audio is ok on the video, not the best. But you can see it here: http://www.youtube.com/user/danfcrea?feature=mhee (http://www.youtube.com/user/danfcrea?feature=mhee)
Wow that's baddass!
Awesome! Definitely dug the Golden Age jam, love that tune.
Thanks guys! With only 2 practices it wasn't perfect but we hope to do it again soon and the more we play together the tighter we'll be.
Here's the audio on Archive:

What a great show! So many perma-grins in the audience.
I only wish I didn't have amp troubles... it sort of overwhelmed my preamp when I played slap, for some reason... really wrecked Weekapaug for me, among a few other tunes. Next time I'll hook up a compressor I guess... the built-in limiter seems to be after at least one of the gain stages.
And by next time, I mean 12/16 when I fill in for the Phreaks, another Phish tribute. ;D They're splitting the night with one of my JGB tribute bands so it'll be extra convenient.

Caught the Phreaks at Wormtown in MA this past year, they were great.
Wow, you guys sounded really good Walker! That gweetar is tassstey mmmmmmmm 8) and what a great set list! You were even kind enough to put in some of my personal favs and I loved how you incorporated some of the covers the boys play. Good stuff, keep it comin'!
Who played the vacuum during I Didn't Know? Thats a great touch to the show ;D
great job guys!

It was Toby, our drummer, and it wasn't a real vacuum! I printed off a vintage Electrolux and he held it up while he used his mouth to make weird noises into the mic. He would've gone longer but he said he got light-headed pretty quickly so he had to stop. It was a riot!
MORE GUITAR!!! Very good job man, you really worked hard to get all those licks down.

Thanks Happy. It was a lot of fun and we hope to do another show at the beginning of the year in Jan/Feb/Mar...just depends on everyone's availability. We'll have a bunch of new songs to tackle too...I get musical ADD and like to move on from stuff.

Walker did an awesome job. I was really impressed with the bass, drum, and keys players too. Watching the bass player set up his rig and mess with the meatball was cool. That pedal is like mike in a box. I can't wait for the next gig. I can taste the crown and cokes already!

Liquid energy!!! They're so good! But dangerous...as evidence in the 2nd set...some sloppy seconds here and there, according to my ear. :-\
