Raise your glasses and give a big ole cheer to the man who puts the ying in your yangs

Oh yeah................for the record.............every Carini I have ever heard has dropped me to my knees.

Isnt there already a Baker's Dozen thread on this board you can check out? Personally, I think that is another high-water mark for the band. I was off and on with them since they came back in 2009. I saw the last show of their summer tour in 2009, saw Finger Lakes in 2010, listened to a pile because I was still a Phish junkie but I was getting close to cutting that chord - so to speak. I figured if I saw one more show that was not doing it for me then I was done but the rescheduled Toronto show brought me back in a little bit and then that fall I saw them in Glens Falls. I was still in. Things were still inconsistent but for my ears, summer 2015 turned the tide and they have been on a slow ascending upswing since then. My personal belief is because they toured extensively during their first era, making the music a priority while they were young, they fell into a groove they will never find again thanks to age and responsibilities outside of the band. That first shit was nuts. The second wave came about and it's obvious personal demons were affecting them as a unit but they could still pull off some crazy-assed jams at the detriment of the tightness they once had but age was starting to become a factor. The best analogy I can make is the mid 30 year old athlete who once excelled on a nightly basis but you only see that magic from time to time. Then it was gone. They came back and we all went crazy but something was not up to par. It took them a long time to get that dinosaur roaring again because they had to figure it out but I believe they are back in business. Obviously things are a little slower now and composed sections will be messed up from time to time thanks to the sheer number of songs they love to throw out at us but a pattern is starting to develop that I am completely on board with. "Give them a big jam" seems to be something they are delivering on an almost nightly basis now since.............I dont know when because I stopped listening to every show but from last fall at Dick's on I have really enjoyed most of what I have heard. Go into the Baker's Dozen thread, to kind of answer your question, after you watch this amazing madness. I wasnt at this show. I had just gotten home from PEI, crushed three beers and abowl and then this happened........great shit right here RobNotBob - Dick's is coming up again at the end of the month. I strongly recommend you check it out from your couch. They will be offering streams.

It only took you 100 shows to finally 'get' Phish so don't give up on Radiohead just yet.

There is a good chance I posted this before but I dont care. Fuck You We.Want,Phil.

Fuckin' right Cuz and I lost my shit during that Page song. We didnt know it and I went crazed.I just listened to the accapela Strawberry Fields Forever and wanted to cry about how much I love how this band and how they got themselves back to the point whereby you dont want to miss a Phish show. People can argue "1.0" or "2.0" or "3.0" but all that matters is once it gets to the most primal level. "You dont want to miss this show....just in case" - for my money they have been there for a little while. Of course tour openers will always be tour openers but as soon as they unlock the chest, look out. The Friday night, my brother's birthday No Men's In No Man's Land > Everything In It's Right Place > What's The Use > Scents > Caspian > Fluffhead fucking floored me. That was some of my favorite Phish I have ever enjoyed live. God bless these live streams. I lost my shit. EIIRP (Everything Thing In It's Right Place - Radiohead) being sprinkled about was brilliant. When I realized what it was I flew out of my seat and started hopping. I think I scared Barrett. I watched/listened to the last 3 shows , the Sloth shows as we should call them, but II cant wait to relisten to the second set some day. It was all amazing but that one took me all over the places. This is one of the coolest things Phish have ever done. No wonder Velvet is finally on board. Fold a slice of pizza for that man.

There are so many.........

Holy shit. I havent looked at this thread in a while. Amazing stuff.

I'm working hard because I want ya'll to be there. I'm assuming any ticket to any night is good.

Video of the Sloth at MSG just arrived onto the internet

Thought it read "bunk"

Love it. God bless you Phish. They kicked so much ass.

Remember when Tom Petty was coming to town............ That's pretty fucking cool. I cant wait.

Early rows of the 2000's on Rage Side..........slowly stepping across people with "scuseme"s as we made our way to our assigned seats...........pied to the fucking nines with sunglasses on so I could hide my true shape from the world...........tug on my shirt as I located my seat "BOOCHE!" - it was my old across the hall neighbour from 90 Curtis. Steve. Right there. In the flesh. Our mail order tickets were processed with us sitting right beside one another. I blew up one of the pictures I took at that show and framed it for my brother's bday. Crappy camera, excellent results.

Anything could happen as far as I am concerned and I cant wait to hear what it is. I love Bono and the Edge.

By the way, U2 write wicked fucking songs. Everyone I know underates them.

"Cause it's Canada Day..........."

That Daft Punk cover is fucking incredible.......shit.........so is the Dylan one #nextlevel

GFY

I watched it in one sitting without thinking about moving. It certainly didn't feel as long as it is.
