who's that guy with the haircut??" jackie green, folks!! kept hearing that around the crowd. everyone was obviously impressed. the band was tight, jazzy, and well rested. the 30 minute headcount commercial in between sets was really offputting, though, and i think made people lose interest. the second set was amazing, but it didn't get the energy from the crowd it deserved. *a mellow help on the way > an awesome slipknot really got the juices flowing. sage-burning guy was spinning really really fast. *golden road made my night. nuff said *i'm sad casey jones didn't get the crowd going enough to keep the house lights off. buzzkill. i still blame the commercial. great sound quality... thanks Larry! ***amendment*** i have to amend my comment on the headcount commercial (and it WAS a commercial). people in the jam band community are ambivalent about politics, but no more than the rest of the general population. in fact, i would wager that jammers and heads probably feel MORE passionately about politics than the general populace. it's just that when you go to see a phil show, you want to be rocked... though my face was surely stolen, the 30 minute interlude took something away from the entire experience. it could have just been the drugs, though... love you guys! ~j who's the guy with the haircut? nuclearplantlife 2008-03-14 22:34:14 2008-03-13 21:12:12 4 Well I wasn't at Langerado for the full 4 days as many people were, but I was luck enough to be there Sunday to see Gov't Mule and of course Phil. I was awestruck from the moment the lights went down. Jackie Green tore it up on guitar, especially in the second set during Golden Road and Viola Lee Blues. And when they broke into Unbroken Chain, I about fell over. FANTASTIC! The crowd energy was a little subdued, probably just from sheer exhaustion. I think my only disappointment was that I expected Phil to invite some "special guests". Warren Haynes for one. Unfortunately that never came to fruition. Still the show was amazing from start to finish. Every song was tight. The band appeared to be enjoying themselves. I also liked the fact that no matter where I was in the crowd, I was always in the Phil Zone. Once again Phil and Friends delivers the goods Scott420DL 2008-03-14 14:13:39 2008-03-14 14:13:39 4 The whole show was really great except for the trip into outerspace. That really went on for far too long. Viola Lee and Golden Road were great. The Headcount movie in between sets was not bad at all. I really pisses me off that people in jam band community are so passive about voting/politics. Great show! bigmike4 2008-03-14 20:18:42 2008-03-14 20:18:42 5 Id love to see this band adda really good vocalist. The jams are good and Phils playing is second to none. His vocals just take me out of the game so much though-hes just flat- it doesnt sound good its just too much. Jackie Green(e?) is ok but nothing to write home about. Good jams, flat vocals supahj 2008-03-15 15:42:00 2008-03-15 15:42:00 2 This is Phil Lesh & Friends. You expect amazing vocals? Which Phil Lesh have you been listening to sing all these years? Besides, this band has been RIPPING IT UP since September! This is a great performance and a very solid recording. Jackie Green is an incredibly talented breath of fresh air and if you don't think so, go and listen to the Nokia run that's also on this site. Just listen :) OH, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY PHIL! New vocalist? Albix 2008-03-15 16:25:53 2008-03-15 15:59:51 5 Phil's voice is Phil's voice. Like it or not. I hear there's a new Osmond's site up, Mr. Grumble Guts. They all sing on key and they have those groovy outfits too. Don't let the door hit ya' on the ass... An automatic 5 stars just to equalize Gloomy Gus McFlat Top. Happy birthday, Mr. Lesh! -BMF (Gratefully a listener since 1966) Flat BilkoMcFish 2008-03-15 23:21:01 2008-03-15 23:21:01 5 I think Phils voice has gotten better this past year, and who cares Its F##kin Phil Im just glad he,s out there at 68 years old and still rippin shit up. If you want killer vocals go see Van Halen.

Obv. you have not taken the time to see him live. It seems like all the guys are in a groove. I havent seen a band have so much fun on stage. I saw the 10-13-08 in VA and they didnt even leave the stage for set break or for the encore. And you have to love the pool of songs that the setlist have been pulling from-some really solid classic. Good recording also. Jackie Greene ok??? sm0key42o8 2008-03-16 03:38:04 2008-03-16 03:38:04 4 I thought the lineup with Warren Haynes and Jimmy Herring could not be topped from early 2000, but this band Phil has now is unreal. The Dylan tune, "Hard Rain is Gonna Fall" is great along with all the others!!! Rock On Phil, how bout a summer tour along with the Festivals???? Phil N Phrends sound better than ever bmcd67 2008-03-17 14:03:01 2008-03-17 14:03:01 4 If you listen to nothing else, listen to the Viola Lee Blues. I have never heard it played better ever ever anywhere. This line up is SMOKIN folks. I was at the Red Rocks show last Sept. and they rocked so hard there - same line up. At Langerado Phil's was the last show and I was dead on my feet after 4 days of camping in cow shit in horrible weather of every sort (except snow and ice). We all were. We didn't deserve a second encore cuz we were too wiped to call for one. Yet the musicianship and power and energy of this show was just unreal. This line up has jelled as a band to the extent that I just can't imagine they could have played any better. Thank you for uploading this show! This show ROCKED!

Incredible sound and one hell of a show. Can't get enough of Phil these days. Incredible show FreshFlavor 2008-03-20 20:22:19 2008-03-20 20:22:19 5 this was the only way to wrap up an awesome weekend in the swamp. thanks to Cloud 9 and the Madison House folks for laying down an unforgettable festival/lineup. this particular set would have been spectacular, 'cept for some of the zombies that Phil attracts. Did get to witness a hippie fight. Though it was a detraction, it was entertaining none the less. Thanks for the party Phil. sick set teamcopa 2008-03-20 21:50:52 2008-03-20 21:50:52 5 Quality dismount to the cutting-edge fest that was Langerado 08...
