Hey Mrs. B I had a very similar expierience Sunday night ! got there early and had dinner and a couple beers at the bar. I got in line around 6ish I was about tenth in line or so. I started bs'ing with my line mates, pulled out the bowl and fired up. it was all very cool then a youngish security guy came up and says "theres no smoking in line" I say fine although everyone in line was kind of looking at each other like "he must be new here" One of the guys I was standing there and had seen the whole deal went to what seemed to be the main security guy has a short talk with him and got the same story you did "He's new here" He was standing to the left of the stage throughout the show and I want up to him during the break and asked him what he thought of "all this" He said he was blown away by how cool, the crowd was and that it seemed like they almost could do without the security at all.
As far as the show experience You pretty much nailed it. About the farthest you could be from the stage is about 30 feet and thats in the corners. it was easy to move up to the second row and from there you are about 6 or 8 feet from the performers. I spent most of the show in front of Jackie and Jeff. but moved over to the phil zone toward the end of the second set. Phil seemed really happy.
I agree that it was well worth the price. Yes, it was expensive ($150.00/ ticket). the most I've ever paid to see a show. but you will never see a show in a more intimate, welcoming place full of like minded people. How about the toasted cheese sandwiches? was that cool or what? from what I understand PL&F shows will continue to run $150/tic. All I can say is that if you love Phil, treat yourself at least once. you won't regret it!

I noticed that Phil and friends and Wier and Hornsby are playing both All Good and The Vibes... But they're scheduled for the same weekend... July 19-22...
I know they have airplanes and things like this, but is that a mistake or what's the deal?

cant wait for some great music this summer.
MH, I should have said something about IC Mag, but oh well, next time. We have tickets for the end of the month,cant wait to go again, it will be the quintet this time, I guess they have played together for years and cant wait to see that show!!
I loved the grilled cheese sammys they were sooo cool, and the poster you get is really nice, well worth the price of a ticket.
I think Phil really enjoys playing with his son, they seemed to be having a great time. It was cool to see the interaction they all had, man that Jackie Greene guy gets down!! Loved the harmonica!
They are playing with different ppl, Phil and Friends and then Bob will play with Bruce...they are doing that now here in the bay.

all good for sure!!! way chiller IMO
August that's what I'm saying!
BOTH bands are scheduled to play both Vibes and All Good... And they are the same weekend!...
And Toxic, you know it's not in Masonville, WV anymore I presume. A girl died there last year. She was pinned in her tent after a pickup slid down one of the hills. They shouldn't have been parking cars on the hill..it was wayyy to steep... It was horrible. It took EMS over 30 minutes to arrive. Absolute chaos. Can you imagine beingi in your tent sleeping one minute, and being crushed to death the next? Happened literally 20 yards from my campsite.
Now it's in Ohio.
RIP Nicole Miller.

thats horrible. definetly changes the vibe there. to bad that was a chill place. where are they having it now? ledges, buckeye lake.
gotchya man.. i misread your post i think.. yeah that's a conundrum for sure
I dig the vibes personally.. it's a little closer to home, and i like the beach right there (even though it smells).. I just hope it isn't 110 degrees again this time, that was tough.
and RIP Nicole.. that's really sad stuff man
