I sold grilled cheese sandwiches in the lot at a bunch of further fest shows 25 years ago and it was interesting stuff. Trying to manage perishable goods from show to show sucks.

One of my all time favorite memories is my Dad taking me to my first concert as a kid (Furthur) and me asking "why are we getting there so early?" and he's like "to hang out in the parking lot!" and I had no idea what he meant until we got there and we just had a blast walking around lot and looking at all the stuff for sale and people dancing and cooking and having a blast. It's such a special and unique part of Phish and jam band culture.

One of my favorite stories is when the Dead got really hot on the back of Touch of Grey (apparently ruining the scene), even playing at massive football stadiums, people would just rock up and sit out side the venue and party in the lot and generally cause problems so they kept telling people to only turn up if they had a ticket to the show.

My first phish show was in 09 and spent what felt like hours trying to find my friend in the lot by triangulating our locations based on the hiss of nitrous tanks. Lost in the lot

Lost in the lot My first show was Clifford Ball which was weird cause the NY state police were doing a real good job of busting people with large quantities coming in, so there was almost no weed for sale there. People had personal stashes and that’s almost all that was there. I don’t remember a lot of nitrous either but there was some. There were a lot of mushrooms and hard drugs on shakedown and a LOT of booze. It wasn’t the most mellow crowd by the end. I did get to see the band drive by on the back of a flatbed truck the first night, though, which was pretty cool.

PHISH, TUESDAY 09/14/1999 BOISE STATE UNIVERSITY PAVILION Boise, ID SET 1: Chalk Dust Torture, The Sloth, The Curtain > Waste, Loving Cup > What's the Use?, Wading in the Velvet Sea > Farmhouse, Nellie Kane, Taste, Rocky Top SET 2: Peaches en Regalia > AC/DC Bag[1] > Gumbo, Down with Disease > Frankenstein[2] ENCORE: Simple, Hello My Baby [1] Trey on keys and Fish on vacuum for part of the jam. [2] Fish on vacuum Peaches was played for the first time since February 28, 1997 (162 shows). This long AC/DC Bag featured Trey on keys and Fish on vacuum for part of the jam. Gumbo included an Another One Bites the Dust jam. Fish again grabbed the vacuum for Frankenstein and quoted One of These Days (Pink Floyd). This show is available as an archival release on LivePhish.com. PHISH, SUNDAY 09/12/1999 Just listened to this, solid recommendation. 25 minute Bag. The Sloth, Curtain, Loving Cup, Taste and Rocky Top big props. The only bummer is i've never been a Velvet Sea fan.

In general I'm not a huge fan of Trey's new chonky delay sound that features heavily in the jam outro here. That said I could see the song going in interesting places if they keep working on it

PHISH, SATURDAY 09/18/1999 COORS AMPHITHEATRE Chula Vista, CA Soundcheck: Heavy Things, Meatstick SET 1: Tweezer, Roses Are Free > Wilson > Maze, Brian and Robert, Tube > Rocky Top SET 2: Boogie On Reggae Woman, Meatstick > Free > Bouncing Around the Room, Harry Hood > Frankenstein > Cavern ENCORE: Contact > Tweezer Reprise Trey's voice is extremely worn out. 15 min Tweezer to start, Wilson, Tube (one of my fave songs). 2nd set 20 minute space Boogie On, Meatstick pre-Japanese Lyrics (did they literally learn that Japan 2000 tour?). Contact is another fave of mine and its a bit flubby. Ending with Tweezer reprise, can you get any better? People love this show, I merely liked it a lot.

He played with the Mamas and the Papas, so that dates him. Pretty remarkable career. And hey show buddy I was at that one!

Noise Machine posted:Phish.net says mid-1995 for the first funk siren https://forum.phish.net/forum/show/1376637697 Sweet, thanks Good call out in that thread — proto-siren in the YEM off ALO right before the bass n drums section! That’s late 94 IIRC Something that still doesn’t get old for me — when the band comes to a clearing in a big jam in 97-00 era and the whale call rises up in the mix and you feel like you’ve been out wandering in the woods, getting hopelessly lost which is enjoyable but in the back of your head you know it could spell trouble, but then you coincidentally just stumble right back to your home. Love that poo poo

I was super into Primus and Les Claypool as a kid, so I ordered the Fearless Flying Frog Brigade Set 1 and his other sideproject, Oysterhead. To the uninitiated the sheer volume of whale calls blew my mind on that Oysterhead Album. I also wasn't a hip kid but I was like "they sound like they on drugs." Which was, sadly right.

Oysterhead was really pretty good and I would like to see them in concert some day. It’s probably the best Les Claypool side project, although I really liked his band with Bernie Worrell and Buckethead.

It sucks that for high-gain Trey we only have the 2003 (I believe?) era where he briefly used a Marshall and...Oysterhead, where he decides to team up with the most insufferable bassist in the scene. Les is a weird dude because Electric Apricot is a spot on pastiche from a dude who clearly knows and loves the jam scene but man his music to me is nails on a chalkboard.

It’s probably the best Les Claypool side project, although I really liked his band with Bernie Worrell and Buckethead. I mean they have a terrible record for touring coinciding with colossal American Tragedy but yeah would love to see them. The other great Oysterhead quote, well there are two one is Trey going "what should we call the band" and Les going "Oysterfoot." "Why Oysterfoot?" "You know, like Oysterhead." "Les why don't we just call the band Oysterhead". And Les apparently saying Tim Alexander's drumming used to annoy him because of some of the ways he played until he played with Copeland and Copeland played the same but even more so.

Kvlt! posted:how did Arkansas get a date and the Northeast got nothing I don’t know if the northeast venues they would play are really open for business this summer. The dates in NJ are on the beach, it’s not a real venue. It’s all red states the first month. Like I don’t think it’s worth it for them to play a place like Jones Beach at half capacity with the overhead of their crew and everything. I can’t think of an outdoor place in the northeast like Dicks, except maybe Fenway, and Fenway blows for concerts. And I don’t know if Fenway is hosting concerts at all this summer. But there’s also time between Dicks and the CA shows to do an east coast festival if they wanted to. That wouldn’t surprise me. But it would also take so much work that they couldn’t announce it now.
