I don’t think they want to sell tickets at $100 face and at half capacity they would probably have to do that. Or they can play Arkansas.

Im just excited to hear that 4.0 Doc even tho I am salty @ Paul bc I spent literally years saving up for a real languedoc and then he bumped up his prices to 18k for one guitar. So I bought a pre Gibson Mesa Boogie instead and put the rest into savings but I digress. 4.0 Doc looks cool even tho Ocedoc will forever be my fav.

I denied Phish for as long as I could. Friends and co-workers would chat them up as Phish fans tend to do, I'm sure (heck one of them plays League as Weekapaug Groove). My dad who's a major goober who has never been to a Phish show (and hasn't been to a jam show in twenty odd years) loves to talk about "THE GREAT GLOWSTICK WAR" at SPAC, our local big venue, that happens "at every Phish show, thousands NO MILLIONS of glowsticks flying through the air, it's crazy my friend told me about it!!". I made an earnest effort to expand my musical tastes in the last few years and knew it was only a matter of time before I worked my way through enough genres to arrive here Per thread rec I listened to A Live One, appreciated it, tucked it away. I think about two weeks went by. Had major Friday vibes before a big work event so threw on a random live set from Spotify. Last week the same. Today, the same. Back on 12/31/91, pretty late in the show now and just bangin' my head a little bit to Mike's Song can't believe I've missed dozens of area shows of this while complaining about how my area never gets good shows, gently caress

SPAC's really nice! Now you've got me daydreaming about taking the day off work & spending a sunny day chillin' in the attached state park before wandering over for parking lot antics before a show. Sadly the last few shows I went to up there were infested with cops/troopers in the parking lot to shut down said antics.

Looking back at my play history I think it was 7/4/10 that had me most locked in? if that makes sense. My 2-year old particularly liked Gotta' Jibboo, I have a video of him dancing hard to it. And it introduced me to Harpua, which is an absurdly fun idea of a jam/song to have a "and he was listening to the radio, and this song was on!" and then play Killing In The Name, which I did not expect from a band like this. So yeah, Harpua is pretty cool and I've peeked at a few other versions of it (including 10/31/94 in Glens Falls, another venue in my backyard) but I think Chalkdust Torture is my fave right now. That opening riff is just clean and the energy starts flowing immediately edit - and so of course I searched for "best Chalkdust Torture" and now I'm here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j73iY2ET4u0 Thanks internet, thanks thread Omnikin fucked around with this message at 18:15 on May 21, 2021 |

Went to a small town park today and saw two guys wearing phish gear. Wish I’d been wearing one of my shirts too  algebra testes posted:This show fucks. Second set is incredible. That slow tease of Mike's before slowly speeding up to full tempo gets me every time. Listened, so good. Very solid first set too, and agree with the Vultures love. And yeah the DWD -> Mikes was incredible. One of my favorite and IMO underrated phish moments is the start of Simple jams from the 94-97 era in particular. Even just the first couple minutes while they’re basically sticking to the song, the groove has such a nice airy bounce. One of my favs: https://youtu.be/-7t7t7yiUe0

So, these new bands. I kinda liked Brothers Past, but every song was like a 10 minute jam and each song blurred into each other song and so I get it was a bit too much. Goose I sorta get but also no really sure how they're so popular. I think my issue with modern jam bands is 20 minute jams are great, transitions between songs are great. But too much of the same thing can be a bit too much? Phish at least doesn't super jam every song every night out, some nights are actually jam free (the bad nights). The Dead still had first sets, and as much as I loved a Playing In the Band -> Uncle Johns Band -> Playing In The Band sandwich that wasn't like, every show every night. Anyway, I feel like those dead heads locked up for selling LSD - Who's popular now? I will be shamed to admit that I don't mind a bit of Widespread Panic, even if to my ears they fall afoul of every song being same tempo same key but maybe I'm wrong. Phish's dogged insistence of half-assed playing every style known to man at least breaks it up a little. algebra testes posted:PHISH, SUNDAY 08/12/2018 Another great 2018 show, listened again.

I went to a god street wine show once. Not so hot. Most jam bands suck, that’s the big problem. One out of 10 umfrees McGee (who aren’t very new anymore) songs is pretty good, and they’re talented musicians, but 9 out of 10 make me want to listen to anything but umfrees mcgee. And they’re kind of the best 3rd/4th wave jam band. For even newer stuff there’s bands like Pigeons Playing Ping Pong who are inexplicably popular. Absolutely unlistenable. JRAD is good though, if they count.

The jam scene at large doesn't really do anything for me. Had fun at Moe, Umphrey's, Strangefolk, and STS9 shows when I was a kid, but the music was kind of secondary to the fun. I don't really see much in common musically btw Phish and most other bands in the jam scene. I guess maybe more like Flecktones & MMW, but the reason I enjoy Phish has very little to do with anything I'm going to get out of WSP or Umph. This is why I enjoy Phish: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5MGWHZC0xHU

Calling Phish a prog rock band lmao Edit: Prog is definitely an ingredient in the Phish soup but to call them a prog rock band is like calling the Grateful Dead a blues band. They may have started like that but they went far beyond that. Kvlt! fucked around with this message at 01:59 on Jun 24, 2021 |

Phish’s good music is their proggier songs, and there are a lot of them and they keep writing them, and they write pretty nice ballads. They write good little songs, like Halfway to the Moon. Every once in a while a jam goes somewhere interesting, but it’s rare and that’s not just a 3.0 phenomenon. They are very talented at ensemble improvisation, they just rarely do anything that interesting with it. Sometimes they do! But not often. But I will be psyched to see a Strange Design or lifeboy or Time Turns Elastic or Mercury at the next show I go to. Even Petrichor, though I don’t think that’s a great song. I’d rather see that than a paint by numbers 10 minute antelope.

I will agree that Phish has kinda mailed in Antelope since reuniting. Listen to a ‘98 version compared to what we get now. I also enjoy anytime I get a Slave to the Traffic Light. No idea wtf Petrichor is

TTE is flawless. Might be the best song of 3.0. I think Halfway to the Moon is a great little song too. And there’s a Mike song on Fuego that’s nice. I can’t think of the name now BigFactory fucked around with this message at 15:28 on Jun 24, 2021 |

I guess if you like the long proggy/classical songs, you like the ballads, you like the little songs, then what's left not to like? I feel like that covers 90% of Phish songs. Please answer carefully, ideally without any reference to 3.0 songs  Here's my favorite little song of theirs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zgFklxPjuv4
