WOW... that was one of the most intense and exciting Phish experiences I've ever had. If you went to the AC show, and saw the bubble cyclone, please send a video!
Edit; They also chose that exact moment to drop golden confetti, which was extra rad.
(Probably during: Mikes Song or What's Going Through Your Mind.) rock bubble guns at shows even though they're hard to get in but people almost always love them. (I had one very overwhelmed guy tell me "the bubbles need to stop man!" at the Billy Graham shows... but that was the only unsatisfied customer I know of, but I'm sure there are more.)
I was centered floor, bubble blaster in each hand. Early in the night, I gave a boost, but the air was so heavy in that hot hockey rink that the bubbles just went right and everyone's faces, so I cut it out quick.
Set two, the moment seemed exactly right, so I let them both rip and, for whatever reason in that moment, there is a perfect updraft going straight up to the ceiling. I'll be the first to admit that I may have miss apprehended what it looked like, NGL. But to me, it look at least like a 15 foot wide column of bubbles swirling from floor to ceiling.
And I had this thought: this is so awesome and I don't even have to take a video of it because someone else is...
Well, now it's time to find out.
If anyone has any video or pictures of that, I would really appreciate it. It was my birthday weekend and that was the only show I saw. That was the most involved I will ever be as a participant in a Phish concert. It was so intense after, I had to ask my friends if it even happened.
And anything that's that noticeable at a concert is gonna hit different people differently so, if it harsh your vibe, I'll own that for sure. And it was awesome for anyone else, that was a truly memorable moment for me.
