nice, ill have to give it a listen, it was earlier that month that he experienced it!!

the Ghost is actually pretty hot!
the narration comes at the end of Bathtub(smokin!) over the jam...Trey starts off talking about how its the first show in the US, leading a cheese "USA USA" chant, then talks about the first 4 songs of the show which were the US debuts of the new songs that debuted in Europe...blah, blah, blah...say they have 1 more song then they'll take a break, then he mentions the worm.
Wolfmans> Magilla, Birdland jam> Bowie in set 2 is prety good as well.


ahhh...I can talk Phish with anyone.
someone has got to help balance out this pro WSP stand around here
sorry for the thread highjack. +T's to all

the worm narratoin is at the end of Bathtub

yeah, I did the first 3 nights(and the last 6) that summer and all were very good shows(except for Darien. . . out of those first 3, think I prefer the 7-21 overall(both sets)great times all around at the shows though!

Ahh,
I never thought about it going in the other direction.  Well if all I am protecting is the batteries and I probably not going to hassle with it.   I was mainly concerned with protecting my JB3 and UA-5 when I build my battery cables soon for both of those.

well, that depends where you keep your JB3 and UA-5...I had a short occur on my 9.6v 3000mAh battery while it was in the bag.  The thing got hot enough to melt some electrical tape before the fuse blew.  These batteries we're all using store a fair bit of energy!

Had a regular square 9V short out with the clip/connector jammed between the two contacts.  Melted the connector.  

Theoretically, these things could explode or start a fire (or melt the case of an SLA).  How'd ya like to be standing in the taper line, and have some wook tell ya your backpack is smoldering (or you have a trail of battery acid dripping down your back)?  Most of the commercial (read: Eco-Charge) are internally fused.  The DIY stuff isn't, unless you put one there.

Not to scare anyone, but all it takes is one accident.  Consider fusing your power rigs, or at least protect the connections when it's "in the bag".

Gotta love those archives!   Everything ya need to know..and more. And ya Bean teh quote I'm refering to is from VA Beach. Those tapes are hot adn the show was even hotter, one of my favorites (although i do have a lot of favorites). Updat: have the batteries (12V10ah), ordered the fuses and cables, now to find a charger...
