If there’s one photo I did have in mind going into The Beacon Jams it’s this one. I wanted to capture Trey in a state of the current times but looking up to the future.
Greatest Suzy jam ever. Millennial funk oozing “under this big tent”♫ Now Playing on

🎶: Darien Jam 1
🎸: Phish
Hot take:
Mondegreen for the concert grounds..
Magnaball for the music.
Loved this weekend but with the exception of the Ambient Jam.. Magnaball musically smokes Mondegreen.
Simple, TMWSIY, Mock Song, Bathtub, Chalkdust, NMINML, 46 Days, TweeCaspian, and all of set 3 Sat.
Crazy that Kill Devil Falls is 15 years old. I liked it from the beginning but ever since they started to jam it, it’s become one of my favorite songs to catch live now. This was a good summer for KDF
Unfortunately wasn’t able to make last nights show.. tonight will be my first Phish show since my mom died earlier this year. Excited..nervous.. lot of emotions rn. If they play Miss You I’ll be the one in a pool of tears.
I’ve heard many stories about this show and just how jacked the crowd was. Damn near perfect setlist and the second set is money the whole way through. A top 5 Reba of mine. Just wish there was an SBD
This is an absolute gorgeous piece of improv. It has such a relaxed “we’re finally here” feel. Magnaball jams have such a distinct sound. No other jams sound similar.
Today is quite a difficult date. A year ago I found out my mother’s bone marrow transplant didn’t work bc of a genetic mutation. Dr’s said she only had months left. It was also the day before her Bday so all her friends(So Many) planned a drive by HBD. I Love & miss you so much.
I feel like Life Saving Gun as a set closer isn’t letting the song live up to its full potential. Second set jam vehicle please. 🙏🏻 Also - Hey Stranger as a second set opener would also crush.
Overall impressions of Mondegreen?
I did like the art installations a lot and the parts within the trees were super cool. I do think there was a lot more art but more spread out. I will say tho the walk from GA campgrounds to the. Concert grounds is way too long.
I never really cared for Show Of Life. But at the time this version stopped me in my tracks. Easily the best version ever. ♫ Now Playing on

I knew this week was gonna be tough.. This week one year ago my life came shattering down on me when doctors told me my mother only had 3 months left to live. And this was just a couple days before photographing Phish at SPAC. That was the most difficult show I’ve ever been to.
Photographing at The Gorge in 2021 is one of many peak Phish experiences I’ve had that’s was so surreal it didn’t feel real. Thank you

Monde had the woods which made it cool. I think the concert grounds might have been a little better at Monde. But everything else Magna in a landslide. Going back to your campsite between sets is what festivals are all about
I still love this show & second set a lot. Great Moma, Sand, Wave of Hope, Wild Simple jam, and one of the most high octane Chalk Dusts in a while. (8/25/2023 - SPAC)
Especially anyone who is tent camping for 5 days straight who is in their 40’s/ older than me. That’s hardcore.. Or I’m just becoming a wuss. Probably both
This was the first show from 99 I ever had on CD at the time. Always love when they start that jam back up. ♫ Now Playing on

One thing I really liked about Watkins is that you could stop back at your campsite in between sets where as if you left here you’d be missing half or the entire set if you wanted to stop back at camp real quick
I’m not sure what this summers song count was but I’d assume it’s the lowest it’s been in years. Not that that’s a bad thing, just seemed like more repeats this tour than usual
If the festival was at Watkins and was the usual 3 days. I’d probably do it considering it’s only an hour away. I really wish they would go back to the 2 day 3 sets a day format.
This jam has straight up 99 vibes. Love how long Trey leaves his loops going for. 🔥♫ Now Playing on

There’s no denying how sick this set was. The second set on the other hand… The Start of the “my last 6 shows ever” I can’t believe it’s already been 20 years.
