Favorite tours? I'm partial to Summer 97 in Europe. Something special about hearing them start to perfect the phunk at all these tiny clubs, the vibe at those shows must have been absolutely incredible. One of my highlights is the 7/9/97 YEM that features the Flecktones, in particular Trey's solo with the jazzy clean tone

BigFactory posted:Page is such a dork but when he’s on he’s what makes them special. Agreed for 3.0 Anyone listen to any phish podcasts? Analyze Phish is pretty funny, though I wish it was more Harris (RIP) and less Scott. I’m listening to Long May They Run now, pretty enjoyable to hear some stories about the heyday, from the band themselves as well as various associates. Probably nothing that an obsessed fan doesn’t already know, but still a fun listen.

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

BigFactory posted:What do you guys think about Thread? When I saw it live I thought it was really cool but the album version is clunky. Eh not a huge fan, little too proggy & plodding for my tastes. 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

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

Omnikin posted: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 Hell yeah, what are your fav songs/shows so far???

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

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

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

BigFactory posted:I like Phish a lot, so yeah. It doesn’t cover the straight ahead rockers, the chalk dust/tweezer/frees, which I also like. But I’d take a tight free over a sloppy jammed out tweezer most of the time. There are exceptions. Also missing are cover songs which are a mixed bag but generally fun. Interesting. I agree with some of this but not all of it. I definitely am not a believer in long jam = better by default, and agree that a tight Free can be better than a long sloppy Tweez. I like their country/bluegrass songs, I can see the novelty aspect, but Phish has a lot of goofy novelties that I enjoy. Rocky Top is kinda like Sleeping Monkey -- find that in an encore and you know it was probably a good show, love the energy Fish brings, always feels like that song is about to break apart at the seams. Fuckin love Trey's solo in Uncle Pen btw Phish not funky? Buhhh? Would you say that they're groovy? Not in like the AUstin powers sense but to me they're funky in that the whole band gets into the pocket in a way that's pretty unique. IMO they don't have a ton of funk songs, but they do have a ton of funky songs Anyway hopefully it's clear that I'm just shooting the poo poo and not actually heated up about any of this

Thats loving rock n roll right there. None of that pansy rear end dick tugging smile for the camera bullshit. Musicians puke, musicians poop on the stage, wooks deliver their new born baby on the rail. loving hard core dick in the rear end butterball jam band gently caress it chuck it party time poo poo. Phish is back baby.

Poring over Phish's catalog trying to find songs I don't like, smiling a little bit more with each title I read thinking "nope, that one's good too", remembering some epic jams along the way, coming back to this thread excited to "share in the groove"  BigFactory posted:I like about 25%-30% of Kasvot Vaxt. Maybe a little more if I’m in a good mood. There’s a reason they shelved half of those songs. I don't go back to listen to the KV stuff much, but couch-touring that show was so fun. And the clip of them workshopping the "over here, over there" part of Stray Dog from Between Me & My Mind makes me laugh

Hey man, I didn’t say it sucks (unlike you vis a vis limb by limb, sicko  ). Just kind of bland imoI really don’t think there are many truly bad songs from 1.0. Plenty of goofy and dumb songs but that’s part of the appeal. But I did forget about Fikus and Shafty from SotG which I skip basically every time and are truly bad
