Phish NYE Run Night #1

Phish kicked off their 4 night NYE run in Florida in style last night. First set had some nice bust-outs including the first "My Soul" and "Roggae" since 2004, while the second set saw "Light" being mixed into the classic Mike's Groove segment for the first time. I'm definitely looking forward to hearing the next couple of shows as I'm sure the boys will only continue to improve. Here's a link to download a soundboard of the show : http://www.megaupload.com/?d=78IYXN3G

Rothbury Festival 2009

Rather than attempt to re-create the festival in writing, I've decided to post some of the better pictures I took instead. Hopefully they will be a gateway into what Rothbury was all about, music, music, music, people having a great time, and of course, some more music. Enjoy.
