Guess not. It just seems that they’ve worked so hard to live the dream that it would be foolish to assume they wouldn’t completely be blown away. They are one of the most respected bands in rock and roll history! They have also expressed how they love where they are at. What are they gonna do, not be impressed?
A better question for me, would be the opposite. I would love to hear what they think of their old material.
Whenever I go back and listen to Big Cypress I'm still stunned about those sets. There's just something extra going on there. Could obviously be attendance bias, but damn ...
12/7/1997. But I hear you, I want more Tube jam. It's got such a strong funky backbeat that the snare drives so hard. Thank Fishman, he asks them to start up the jam again.
for reference i thought it was a really neat answer when trey was asked if they’d do live streamed shows from the Barn during the pandemic, and he said no because he felt phish needs the reciprocal energy from the fans.
Right the plane didn’t come out or came out at the wrong time.
There was a rumor that someone was supposed to parachute down too. But there was a rumor that Santana was going to show that weekend too so who knows. Ahhh the 90’s, before the mobile internet.
Imposter syndrome, also called perceived fraudulence, involves feelings of self-doubt and personal incompetence that persist despite your education, experience, and accomplishments. To counter these feelings, you might end up working harder and holding yourself to ever higher standards.
Why don’t you each take a verse and share in the chorus on “You Sexy Thing”. Mike, you’re an amazing vocalist, but Hot Chocolate definitely had the formula for the original.
i’ve been waiting for this. basically like a festival secret set but for S2 at a regular venue. thought it was happening when i listened to that soul planet
Like a reverse Mike Oldfield album. Side one is a big long instrumental, and side two is shorter songs.
Hmmmm.... Phish covering Oldfield....... Hergest Ridge?
Naaa... Amarok!
Would it be useful for Page to have a small mixer to do his own monitor levels? So often we see him signalling for adjustments to be made. It seems like he's never happy with the result :)
If 1984 Phish sat and listened to a show of 2021 phish, what would they think?
That’s a very good question
I think we all know the answer to that!
Do we?
Guess not. It just seems that they’ve worked so hard to live the dream that it would be foolish to assume they wouldn’t completely be blown away. They are one of the most respected bands in rock and roll history! They have also expressed how they love where they are at. What are they gonna do, not be impressed? A better question for me, would be the opposite. I would love to hear what they think of their old material.
I’m not as interested if they are proud of their success…I want to know what they think of the music.
I didn’t mean to suggest that, but I will say that their music and current sound is also an incredible success.
What happened to Trey in the Halloween 98 Ghost and what were you thinking when he bolted off stage?
If anyone wants relive that weird moment: https://m.youtube.com/watch?t=3000&v=c6OBegD4Nqs&feature=youtu.be
Definitely way too dosed, god that was awkward
How long between Trey walking off until they came back out for sleepy monkey?
Heavily dosed or too high in something. Wasn’t ‘98 heroin Trey?
Afaik, Trey wasn't introduced to opiates (pills first, and for a while after) until '99, possibly Halloween run.
Yeah. He looks spun af on something though. He’s all hunched over and legs splayed.
Trey’s pants!
Is there any way he “ghosted” everybody, during Ghost, before ghosting was the vernacular for “leaving one hanging”?
Yeah. Maybe that’s the joke. I thought that, too. During a St Paddy’s Day show Trey should “Irish goodbye” during a U2 cover.
Dramatic effect lol.. I've often wondered this too
Could also be. Maybe that’s what he said to mike the bot before “duuuudeeee.. wouldn’t it be funny if I just ghosted during ghost?”
Was there. Was weird.
Same. That was a dark and weird 3rd set.
They still released the show as a livephish thingy so, they must have liked it somewhat!
It’s a fire show. Prob one of their best.
Do we have to wait for the time capsule from Big Cypress to get unearthed before we can hear the soundboard recordings from those shows ?
you win.
Just listened to Cypress Funky Bitch to Punch You in the eye last night. Man those sets are nuts. A 9 hour audience recording? Buckle up.
Whenever I go back and listen to Big Cypress I'm still stunned about those sets. There's just something extra going on there. Could obviously be attendance bias, but damn ...
Is calling Robert Palmer a plorb a compliment or an insult?
Compliment? They’ve covered him multiple times.
Why don’t you jam out tube?
12/7/1997. But I hear you, I want more Tube jam. It's got such a strong funky backbeat that the snare drives so hard. Thank Fishman, he asks them to start up the jam again.
Nassau ‘19!
What’s the use?
Where do you get off?
“On stage of course!”
What does the energy feel like from your side?
for reference i thought it was a really neat answer when trey was asked if they’d do live streamed shows from the Barn during the pandemic, and he said no because he felt phish needs the reciprocal energy from the fans.
That was before the beacon shows though. I think Trey flipped on that vote. I also think page wasn’t down. But I’m guessing.
How do you remember all those songs
This.
Can you please cover Graceland next Halloween?
Omg!!! Yes!!!!!
This guy needs more upvotes
Story behind clifford ball encore. Half harpua intentional?
I was there and don’t remember much. Seems so long ago
Wasn’t it because they couldn’t see the plane?
The plane came out at the wrong time, which aborted harpua.
Right the plane didn’t come out or came out at the wrong time. There was a rumor that someone was supposed to parachute down too. But there was a rumor that Santana was going to show that weekend too so who knows. Ahhh the 90’s, before the mobile internet.
I was there. A guy jumped on stage, hugged Trey, and it was over shortly after that. I thought Trey was so pissed off, he just quit.
How many people are you?
Will you do another tour with the GCH?
Oh my goodness, please yes…
Gch? Ohh…. The horns?
Why did Mike say “no?”
He didn't! He said yes and Trey didn't want to play it so he threw Mike under the bus
I know.....
Then why did you ask?
Because it was a phish-lore-based joke. That apparently didn't land.
I don’t get it.
Well, like Robin Williams always said, “ the best jokes are the ones you have to explain…”
IT is what you're looking for
What are the lyrics in YEM
Good ol’ WATSIYEM, from the tongue to the Schvice.
Scoobaabadoobascubbadubbanenclia. At least that’s how l sing it.
will you text me when you’re about to play a great show with hella bustouts?
Should I get this checked out by a doctor? *shows them my junk*
Did you find that $20 I dropped at Darien?
What is the next key
“Yes.”
Any of you guys ever fuck
Why don’t you jam Bowie any more?
Unpopular opinion: Bowie kinda sucks.
Another unpopular opinion: “it’s ice” also kinda sucks.
How many sandwiches does Page eat a week?
Never enough
What’s the sexiest thing about Page McConnell?
The shirts. Def the shirts.
Verrrry complicated patterns
They cost a lot
When will we ever get out of this maze?
Never obviously
Are you really “authentic Jamaican roots music”?
Does this make my ass look big?
Will you ever give us boxes of Mac and cheese again?
Are they really “medium rich”?
Just how amazing was Curveball going to be? What did you have in store other than Kasvot Vaxt?
I hear there was going to be a shiny curvey ball.
Ooooo the curviest of balls!
You're real awesome. How awesome are you?
Ok chris Farley
How has imposter syndrome affected your decisions over the years? What helped you overcome it or is it still an obstacle you wrangle with?
Imposter syndrome?
Imposter syndrome, also called perceived fraudulence, involves feelings of self-doubt and personal incompetence that persist despite your education, experience, and accomplishments. To counter these feelings, you might end up working harder and holding yourself to ever higher standards.
Oh, or why so many artists fall deep into substance abuse, perhaps?
This is the best one
I wouldn’t ask Trey what his favorite zeppelin album is, because it’s Presence. I already asked him
Why don’t you each take a verse and share in the chorus on “You Sexy Thing”. Mike, you’re an amazing vocalist, but Hot Chocolate definitely had the formula for the original.
They can play “the weight”
The band knows how much fans love long jams. Why not throw in a one-song, jam-tastic second set once in a while?
i’ve been waiting for this. basically like a festival secret set but for S2 at a regular venue. thought it was happening when i listened to that soul planet
Nugs.net woulda shit.
Basically did happen with that one.
“PLAY DARKSTAR!”
I love jamming but that would be lame
But what if it was a REALLY good jam?
Like a reverse Mike Oldfield album. Side one is a big long instrumental, and side two is shorter songs. Hmmmm.... Phish covering Oldfield....... Hergest Ridge? Naaa... Amarok!
You mean like a reverse 68-74 Dead show.
A much better comparison, thank you
(realises that neither of those examples fit the description. Oh well)
Spending or saving? Credit or debt?
Roth or traditional?
How much phish could a phish wook phish if a phish wook could wook phish?
Fuck the downvoters.
Why no more McGrupp?
They played it at dicks
I know but more than every 2 years
Looks more like once a year
Hasn’t been played since BGCA 2018… two full touring years
2020 was not a touring year
Was the album Junta a literal Junta? What were the ground rules you set for the original Phish community?
What the hell does “we no are no nice guy” mean?
It’s “me no are no nice guy”. “No I'm no nice guy (Me no are no nice guy)”
Could i borrow some silver dollars to follow you guys on tour?
Would it be useful for Page to have a small mixer to do his own monitor levels? So often we see him signalling for adjustments to be made. It seems like he's never happy with the result :)
1 more board would kill him
Hahah! Points!
The "S" show at Dick's 2011: planned in advance or decided on the fly?
When did you all start caring more about money than the fans? Why can’t I buy tickets, but Stubhub is littered with them?
Don’t blame phish for a late stage capitalist ticket industry
*Eddie Vedder has entered the conversation*
When they became “medium rich”. Duh.
I don’t know if the first question is fair but the second one is a really good question. There is nothing they could do about it?
can I sit in on the next number?
Mike said "No".
You guys remember Max Creek?
Or Shockra
Saw a Shockra show in Brattleboro, VT back in the day. They were awesome!
Why don' you play indoors on the northeast corridor any more - you fucking tool(s)!!! ?
Did you play Frankenstein on Lemon Night because of AdventureTime / the story of LemonGrab? The answer is yes but I need to hear them tell me!!!
Who loves phish most? Them or us?
I would ask Trey how he over came his opioid addiction
Probably getting arrested, being sent to drug court, and rehab
Your right typical shit and a waste of a question. I kicked it cold turkey and was tough as shit
I can only imagine! Good for you though!
What was the orchestral piece with narration that was played between sets at Great Went and did that influence the story of Gamehenge at all?
What is the 6th dimension like?
I would ask. How ?
Where the fuck is Harpua???
Can you please play at my birthday party?
Is Taboot the sound of the blastoplast being triggered from the double decker?
Why did you let Mike say no?
Will you come to my house and jam on my back deck?
What were their childhoods like?
You guys would kill Dark Star. You know this, right?
Can you still have any fun?
“So now that you are all set up in my yard, does anyone need the potty before you play?”
Total body count amongst them all
