Phish @ Greek Theatre, Berkeley, CA, 8-5-10

Phish returned to the Greek Theatre for the first time since 1993 to kick off the second leg of their summer tour. The show didn't feature any bustouts or notable covers that we became accustomed to during the first leg, but nonetheless it looks like a classic Phish setlist. Phish will return to the Greek this evening.

Set I: Possum, Wolfman's Brother, The Divided Sky, Funky Bitch, Kill Devil Falls, Halley's Comet > Sample in a Jar, NICU, Bouncing Around the Room, Run Like an Antelope
Set II: Down with Disease > Free, Alaska, Back on the Train, Maze, Joy, Tweezer -> Fluffhead
Encore: Loving Cup, Tweezer Reprise

Here is some news and a video to get you over the hump day known as Wednesday.

It's going to be a great weekend! I am psyched about Beer Hoptacular! tonight. If you haven't got your tickets yet, there is still time. Tomorrow, I have a bachelor party for one of my best friends. No plans for Sunday, but it will probably be a rest day. I hope everyone has a great weekend!

Monday Morning Coffee Break

Now that I have closed on my place, I hope to get back to more regular posts on my blog. All in all it was a pretty chill weekend for me. Yesterday, I grabbed some afternoon drinks with friends at Map Room. Last nights Trey webcast was really really awesome and was the perfect way to cap my weekend off. I thought their cover of The Band's "It Makes No Difference" was spot on! I also thought Trey's guitar playing was great. Summer tour is right around the corner! Here is some news and a video to get your Monday moving! Don't forget that S&SS is on Facebook & Twitter.

Phish - Loving Cup

Monday Morning Coffee Break

I had a great extended weekend. I must say that I wasn't that impressed with my trip to Hot Doug's. We waited about an hour in line and left a little disappointed, but I will give it another chance sometime. On the other hand, I enjoyed Great Lake Pizza much more. We arrived a little before five and there was already a line. The place is really really small and has room for 10 people. We ordered two of the three pizzas that they make. It was definitely on the expensive side, but I would back for sure.

I also made my first trip to Half Acre Brewing where I picked up a four pack (16oz cans) of their Gossamer Golden Ale. I am not a big fan of golden ales, but this beer is very refreshing and tastes great. It's back to the grind, but another short week awaits me. I hope everyone had a great weekend and happy Monday!

Hump Day Happenings

Coachella, the first big music festival of the season will go down this weekend in Indio, CA. The festival has officially sold out, which isn't surprising considering the lineup is pretty kick-ass! The organizers of both Coachella and Stagecoach took a few tips from Phish and hope to make their festivals even better. Tomorrow, I am going to see Elton John at the Sears Centre in Hoffman Estates. It should be a fantastic show. Don't forget that SS&S is on Facebook & Twitter.
