Jammy's 2008 Pics

As I spend the rest of the day trying to even out my Serotonin level, please enjoy the one mega pixel quality that only a camera phone can deliver from last night's show at MSG from the floor.

Before all the anti-hippie rhetoric starts, let me share some excitement with those who enjoy the occasional Ramen Noodle and Green Vegetation.

Last night was the Jammy Awards at Madison Square Garden, honoring the lifetime achievement of Phish and brought together some of the sickest bands in the Jam Band scene.

Phish has been broken up since 2004, but we all hoped and prayed they would get together again and break out some crunchy riffs (not to be confused with Crunchy Tacos…mmm Crunchy Tacos!).

All four band members were in attendance and played with separate bands throughout the evening (except Gordon who came down with a horrible case of Vaginitis). However, the four came together to accept the lifetime achievement award and sent chills down our poorly postured spines, as each approached the podium to thank the fans and everyone involved in their success.

Trey had an ankle bracelet neatly tucked beneath his Khakis and had his Parole Officer was within eyesight. Page looked exactly the same thanks to Propecia. Fishman sported pants for the first time ever. And Mike looked as shaggy as ever.

After the four accepted the award, they left the stage and the fans waited for a reunion show that would never happen.

However, as an bonus to the night, members of The Disco Biscuits and Umphrey McGhee teamed up to finish the night with some a set of Phish covers, including: Wilson-->Run like an Antelope-->2001-->Maze.

What does this have to do with comedy? cuddle off, it’s the greatest live Improvisational band ever to hit the stage and they deserve some love.

Cue the Hippie beating in 3 – 2 – 1.
