It’s ‘McGrupp and the Watchful Hosemasters’ (no ‘r’)

The audience sat down? I can’t believe that a Phish audience would stop twirling for more than a minute.

Losers.

the band’s first-ever full-length unplugged set? Do your research morons. They did the same thing at Clifford Ball in 1996 and at Neil Young’s Bridge School concert in 1998

did they do KISS ALIVE 2?

Clifford Ball wasn’t full acoustic set, just a few acoustic songs during a set

And the bridge school benefit was not a full set either.

Correct on the distinctions between 4 acoustic tunes at Clifford and 25 minute sets at Bridge.
Plus, it was official Phish PR which heavily billed this as the “first full length acoustic set ever”

And yes, the entire audience sat down and it was quite an amazing sight to see.

I want to download this set that they played. If anyone knows where I can get it email me at ckisskiss48@yahooo.com please!

THANKS

Well, gee, then maybe someone needs to define what exactly a “full-length acoustic set” is because when I saw Phish at the Bridge School concert in 1998 and they played 12 songs, it seemed pretty “full-length” to me. I’ll just assume it’s 18 because that’s the number of songs they played during the acosutic set on Sunday.

A full length set is when all the songs are acoustic. Not just some of them… All of them.

fantastic festival, they still sho’ do know how to throw a party…

exile was impressive

I love Phish.

My sister abandoned her daughter at strangers house for 4 days just for this bullshit. Phuck Phish.

haha phish is sick phuck your sister

AWESOME, The venue was incredible as was the music, weather and of course the always friendly and loving people…
A great time had by all!!
(So sorry for those who dont get it and probably never will…)

cliffard ball setlist
Split Open and Melt, Sparkle, Free, The Squirming Coil, Waste, Talk, Train Song*, Strange Design, Hello My Baby, Mike’s Song** -> Simple -> Contact -> Weekapaug Groove*

Waste to Strange Design was acoustic.

Checks your facts before crying to someone else to check facts.

Yes, it was billed the first ever as a marketing scheme, but that does not mean it wasn’t.

BTW, A set means the band comes out and plays then they bow and leave. The set even had an encore this time which was all acoustic.

I did check my facts rtfb.

I’ll give you the Clifford set because it was only a few songs, but when Phish played Bridge School (a show I was at), they played 12 songs, all acoustic. When they were done, I don’t remember if they bowed, but they certainly left. That was a full acoustic set. I don’t know what else to call it.

Even Phish.net called the Bridge School show a “single-set, acoustic performance.” I’m pretty sure they have a staff that does their fact checking.

sundays last set dope!

Heck Nick, If Phish PR says this is the “first full length acoustic set ever,” than it’s just gotta be true!

@Crissy: you can download the entire acoustic set (all the sets actually) from LivePhish.com. Enjoy!

lose the emotion please – who cares when or what their last acoustic set was. Just chill and enjoy the musical geniuses we call Phish

lil wayne u r sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooo fuckin fine

I don’t remember a full acoustic set at the Cliff Ball, mind you I was quite lit back then, especially on Day 1. Totally remember Fluffhead, though. I think.

The difference between the 8 acoustic set and the Bridge School set was that this was the first time it was ever done at an official Phish show. Bridge School was a show with a bunch of other artists, but this set was the first at at a Phish only showcase. It was an incredible special thing to be a part of. They really brought it for all 8 sets. The perfect weekend.

A full length Phish set is generally around 90 minutes. Something that is shorter than this, and confined to a time slot at a place where other bands are playing before and afterwards, would not qualify as a full Phish set. If the four dudes called it their first full acoustic set themselves, I’m going to listen to them, and not you Vintage. PR or not, Trey is very particular about everything concerning the band when it comes to things like this, if you’re “vintage” you should know this.

I’ve been to a LOT of festivals and this was by far the best organized I have ever been to.
The music was spot on and being able to attend the First Full Phish Acoustic Set was an honor. Free coffee and donuts taboot!!!
