  1. Yes, it can and will happen again, but you (us / we) might not get it. And it won't be the same. Phish is not GD. Trey / Marshal have never been the songwriter that Jerry was. But that wasn't important to me when I fell in love with Phish. It was an escape, it represented a rejection of the social norms that I was pushing at University.

    phorbesie threw out ICP. I don't get their music but they represent the same escape to a different group of people. There are plenty of bands that have rabid fans that can fill arenas. Pearl Jam, Tool, Widspread Panic, Radiohead, all of whom have been evolving and pushing their own boundaries over the years.

    Will there be another "Jam Band" as big as phish or the Grateful Dead? Probably. Will we dig it? Maybe. Will it change someones life. Absolutely.

    It's a love of the feeling that music gives us that ties this board together, and I'm sure ya'll agree that countless generations will be as confused as we were and they'll sit back and listen to the music play, and it will all make sense, if only for a moment.

    So i'm gonna crack another Carlsberg and let the music show me yet another reason to be happy...

  2. As close to the sound guy as possible will always be the best sound (it's his job to make it good). At a club with a lowered dance floor you'll find that it acts as a bass trap, so there will be more rumble in toes areas.

    I've spent 20 years in the live event business and almost never worn ear plugs. I've got 50% hearing loss in my right ear, but thats mostly from feedback in headsets, not concert SPL.

  3. I'd go with a wordpress blog. You can set one up for free and end use their myname.worpress.org URL. Just pick your layout and add your content. There are forum moduels that you can enable as well (which you can moderate to keep out the viagara adds)

  4. I'm with Acanac in Toronto (piggy backing on Bell's network). I'm getting 3.5 - 5 mb/s DL speed. The upside is that its unlimited and I paid about $220 for the year.

    At work (YorkU) we get speeds of 60 mb/s to the www and up to 300 mb/s to other institutions on the fiber network.

  5. Wow, great night of music last night. Gypsy Kings sounded great and got us all moving. Then a groovy crowd for the Further show. What a solid band. Lovin Russo on the drums (he was at the Maiden show the night before). Half way through the set I took a break to check out solid Reggae vibes with Steel pulse, wandered over to see Robert Randolf's electric church n' roll show, then off to Grupo Fantasma for some 14 piece latin funk awesomeness. Then back to Further to end the night. And all with tasty mill street brews to help me along.

    Music festivals rock...
