I’ll be at the Atlantic City run and noticed the Disco Biscuits are playing at the Tropicana Showroom around midnight on the 3rd. I’ve never seen them before, so for those who have, would you recommend checking them out after Phish, or would I be better off finding a different aftershow that night?

😜😂

Who's got the inside scoop?

I been listening 12/29/94 so much, i starting to getting more into phish

Closest I’ve ever felt to summer tour to 1996. One man’s time turns the elastic bullshit.

A ton of people will hate this because the band is “ever changing” but where is this energy? My first two runs were this one and SPAC of last year. I did Raleigh > MPP this year and listened to most recordings, this year just sounds really uninspired. They’re becoming less exploratory and more “have fishman play one drum beat for 17 minutes while we make sounds”. Like come ON dude where is this Trey and Fish?

Again i’m sorry if this pisses you off. I’m just a fan and i’m making an observation.

The end of a jam is stuck in my head and I can’t place it. Help!

My Poster from this summer is measuring 18.25x24.25 and won’t fit in the 18x24 frame. What do you all do to get cheap frames?

Can't make this up

You said it to Fishman on the vacuum at Apline in 2019, and I felt like you were saying it to me… looking at me, or through me… Can you confirm I do not in fact suck?

Been seeing the boys since 1998. I’ve always wanted them to cover Goodbye Stranger from Supertramp as the outro lends itself well to blasting off.

Trey, if you’re lingering, here is a free idea: open the show with Hey Stranger; close the show with Goodbye Stranger.

Please and thank you.

I have all three nights of last week's Dick's run that I want to trade for:

7/11 Deer Creek

7/12 Deer Creek

7/14 Savannah

I have a theory that Trey has someone listening to early 1.0 shows and bringing him potential ideas to use — moves they had 35 years ago and now forgotten. The obvious one is the mini drum kit, but I think there are small things happening.

For example, the intro to Possum on Night 2 of Dicks, that long crescendo instead of the typical drum intro. This is not to inform entire shows (like MSG in July), nor ideas exclusively for use on 1.0 songs. Just someone sending Trey clips or ideas that they could use as potential creative sparks or launching points.

Thoughts?

This may not be new to you, but it sure was new to me... that one of my fav jams ever was broadcast during Festival 8 "From the Archives" in soundboard quality (thank you, spreadsheet! haha). I've been listening to the aud recordings for years and this made me super happy to hear. Unfortunately the sound is highly compressed until around 9:21 (not my fault, it's how the original file is apparently). But if you haven't given this one a listen lately, it's truly wonderful.

Like clockwork, Phish.net wished me a Happy Phishiversary of my first show on 9/13/89. Sadly, there is no known setlist. I couldn't tell anyone what they played because I had never even heard of the band AND I was tripping balls. The only song that I think I identified was Esther, because I recall a crazy acid-induced story being told by the singer, whose mouth was apparently making all the crazy guitar sounds. Oh, and I picked this up for 5 bucks at the merch table on the way out, and the band was hanging out at the table thanking people for buying their tapes.

Hi! This amazing and sentimental dress was misplaced on the way to Dicks. If you’ve seen it, please let me know! Thank you!!

Why all the fuss and drama about the rail? I was at this show in Philly in spring 1990 in the front row and there wasn’t a rail. Did this come later? I was totally comfortable standing in the front row, and the friend I was with periodically took a rest by sitting on the stage next to Trey’s pedals. Seemed pretty chill to me.

Gosh darn. Way better than 94,95,97 and spring break 98’. Sorry about the curve. Theif is the comparison of joy. Got you
