molly - first time - phish show

me and some buddies drove from new jersey to indiana this summer to see phish do a three-night run at deer creek. my friends had taken molly (mdma) before and we picked some up at the shakedown prior to the second show. i took a pill that had a tenth of powder in it and was hoping to feel good or understand what rolling was all about, being i never had before. phish started out with one of my favorites and then another, but i was still only feeling the alcohol i had drank earlier. the third song of the first set was unbelievable. they jammed out a usually five minute song to nearly twenty. somewhere in the craziness of the jam i got lost in it and started to feel totally amazing. my body felt indestructible and full of energy as i danced with my friends and the rest of the crowd. my head was coming up with only the most welcoming of thoughts and the quality of the music had me off in another world. whether my eyes were open or closed made no difference. i looked around at everybody and the sky and probably had never been happier. phish must have known what was going on because they continued by playing some of my favorite songs, and just a remarkable set overall. my buddies knew i was having the time of my life and we were all sharing in it.

during set break i hardly even moved and just talked with my friends about how great we were feeling and how good the show was. i took another tenth. the second set started and i was rolling even harder from the second pill. phish had me totally captured in their world and took me wherever they wanted. i was their pawn, their puppet, and nothing had ever felt greater than being an experiencer of such beautiful, spontaneous music.

as we all know, feelings are extremely difficult to describe, and this is my first time writing about a drug experience. the next morning i woke up feeling fantastic with no sign of depression or a feeling of coming down. i sat all day and reflected on how good everything felt until that night’s show.

in case anyone is interested, this was that night's setlist:
set one
punch you in the eye
beauty of my dreams
gumbo
the divided sky
boogie on reggae woman
carini >
magilla
possum

set two
split open and melt >
free >
friday
the lizards
walls of the cave

encore
bouncing around the room
frankenstein

My friend, I know exactly how you felt =)

That's an *awesome* setlist, I'll have to download that one off for FurtherNet.

I can only imagine the mellow guitar solo at the end of Lizards as you're peaking on 200mg of molly... wow
 
come on, I can't be the only Phish fan here?

This post reminds me to keep working on a trip report from a Phish festival this summer... although it might turn out to be a short novel %)
 
You're not the only phan here!

One of my fondest live Phish memories was the first time I experienced "You Enjoy Myself" at Greensboro, NC. To hear those beautiful beginning guitar chords struck was a high all in itself.

Fucking great setlist by the way
 
Yeah, I love Phish -- probably my favorite band of all (right now, anyway). I've only seen them once, though, while on shrooms. That was still totally amazing, one of the best concert experiences I've ever had. Along with seeing Moe on 2cb, and String Cheese Incident on 5-meo-dipt.

Heh-heh ... Foxy on SCI Fall tour last year... all over the place. Saw 2c-i going around at horning's. Vegas should be a blast.

I'm wouldn't call myself the biggest Phan (I've probably only seen 7 or 8 shows over 10 years), but Phish can do things to my head with just a little pot. But then again, I've been practicing the psychedelics + concert experience for a couple of decades. :)
 
Yeah, I live in Vegas, so I'll be at both SCI halloween shows. I don't want to get too blitzed, though. Like when I saw Phish on shrooms, I did a smallish amount, like 1.5 grams, and so did the girl I was with. We were just sort of sobering up when the concert ended, and we looked around and you could see a bunch of people were still hard into whatever trip they were having, as they had to leave and find somewhere to go. We felt pretty lucky to have just done a light trip. I had to leave an SCI show at the set break once (last halloween, actually) because I'd done a higher dose of shrooms and the crowds were getting to me. So nowadays I'm into light partying at concerts.

Festivals, of course, are different since you can walk back to your bed and there is so much positive vibe around, I don't mind getting a little crazier.

nothing like the underbelly of the Phish...

Good times, good drugs, good music. I was on and off phish tours since 92, although I thought the band/fans fell off when more and more x started to flood the lots. I'll be checking them at NYE Miami this year and hopefully I wont be let down.

Most memoriable show (or lack of) was Euro 95 (Although it could have been 96) at the Milkweg (sp?), Amsterdam. Wasnt the best musical show but the atmosphere was exceptional.

Sounds like you had a great time, Nothing like a Punch you in the Eye opener or a My Friend My Friend
 
Hell yeah... tripping at concerts is IMO the best way to trip. It always keeps me on a positive track.
