hey all,
i had the priviledge of catching leftover salmon in tuscon
9/20/99 on the day off between phish shows and it was a great high
energy show. i was front row for 1st set and 4 rows back for second
set when Trey came out and wailed some kick-ass bluegrass with
leftover! it was the best surprise ever! totally made my night as
did the oatmeal stout keg party after the show with like 25 kidz and
mike and fishman and trey were there. (they were just hangin out
and schwillin with us!) one of the most memorable nights in my life,
for sure.
if anyone can help, i have tons of phish including some fall99's and
lots of other music. i'd love ya for it.
peace,
fernando

Salmonstick: the version of the
Meatstick Dance from the LOS show

Hey y'all!
I saw the funnest Polyethnic Cajun Slamgrass band on the planet
recently (Leftover Salmon, 10/11-12/99, Fayetteville, AR). I
had the opportunity to puff with their zany lead singer and acoustic
guitarist, Vince. One of my questions to him was: what was it like
when Trey Anastasio from Phish sat in with Leftover Salmon out
in Arizona earlier this year?
Many of you may have heard the story already, but apparently Trey
was up there playing with Salmon for about five songs, having a
great time. Vince was acting typically crazy. If you have seen
Leftover Salmon you know that Vince is able to make up new
words to songs, and create strange little vocal sounds and yips and
"Well, Festival!" cheers that really get the crowd going and are a lot
of fun. Trey was playing guitar and checking out Vince's antics.
Then, Trey did the motion with his finger swirling near his head, to
indicate -- "That guy Vince is crazy!" (You know, the crazy
motion?).
Some members of the audience, who knew both Leftover Salmon
and Phish, assumed Trey was busting out the Meatstick dance, so
they picked it up and started doing the Meatstick dance. As you
know, the "crazy-head motion" is one of the moves in the Meatstick
Dance.
The boys in Leftover Salmon love Phish, but of course they have
their own tour schedule and they were not aware of the Meatstick
dance. So it appeared to them that suddenly part of the crowd and
their guest musician were doing some strange new Salmon dance. I
guess this was the Salmonstick version of the Meatstick Dance.
Next time Leftover Salmon comes to your town, don't miss 'em. If
you don't find yourself doing the Meatstick Dance, you will at least
find yourself wagging the crazy motion at Vince!
By the way, Vince also mentioned that he never really understood
what was happening with the dance, until he looked on the Internet
after the show and saw what people had posted about it!
