" I think last time it sold out pretty much instantly. I think they even moved it to a different venue? " Yes. Just scored a pair. Hotel St Andre is gonna be rocking and so will the hotel.

Having said that, no pressure ;-) I get it if you cant do this show. When I went to see you in TO for Soundtrack Of Our Lives neither of us were thinking we would ever become fathers. Times/responsibilities have changed. Having said that, where is the footage from the after party? 100 percent they got a close up of me on camera. That shit was lit and I was a Christmas tree ;-) "We would like to thank you for all the hash you have provided. You Canadians know how to party!"

Get tickets for the MTL show Jaimoe because this wont be something you will want to miss. They played the same MTL venue last time while the show/performance will bring you to your knees. We can get a hotel room together, I am no longer a wookie - shoot me a text and I will get tickets plus a room for us you little bitch, we can get a room with 2 separate beds. This is an Australian band you don't want to miss. You schooled me on which made me fall in love with Soundtrack Of Our Lives? I still owe you one and it's these guys. Zero hyperbole. This is a fantastic venue and for this show I am not going to keep drinking until close to showing up time. I want to be up on the balcony. Get a crew up there early, save seats when someone grabs a beer while standing in seemingly non-existent lines, and fucking rage Planet Of The Apes style. Pure psychedelic rock minus any noodly jams you despise. Completely minus. In and out solos. This is a group mind with a feeling of stream of consciousness thing. "Are they making this up on the fly?" - my guess is no but you never know at times because shit gets melodically weird in beautiful fashion. They are brilliant. I have now seen them twice and cant imagine them pulling off a dud, let alone walking away with my jaw on the ground.

"Am I the only RA fan who feels the quality of his work as been steadily declining through the last few records? Some good tracks here and there but overall just not that strong imo." You are not the only one, including board members who have a similar opinion yet havent shared it on this website. Devo is right. We are very lucky to have someone offering us songs seemingly non-stop. I hate to say this but it is something I believe......modern-day Phish would be a ton better if they could somewhat create songs like shitty Ryan Adams songs. I suppose that is also why we can argue about these ideals that will rarely show a winner.

I fucking love this version

As entertaining as this was, it was an exercise in anxiety for me. (kinda wailed and cant recall how to do the spoiler strikethrough) SPOILER ALERT: How the fuck can one not care? And how the fuck would one be willing to suckcock to keep things afloat even though the ship had already drowned?

I was shell shocked by what had happened and not of sound mind, not that I am often of sound mind but that is not something we need to discuss. The moral of the story?

"Seeking both SPAC shows" - I hope you get into the PAV cuz. 2004 shows were insanity and 2 of the best back to back Phish non-festival shows I have ever seen them pull off. The balcony on the second night during Piper was a fucking major throw-down. I doubt I have ever laughed so much while sharing in the groove. TM offered me free lawn tickets for SPAC thanks to what happened. I turned them down, only thought of the possibility of attending the shows on the lawn which was of zero interest, but in retrospect I should have taken them and gave them away. Goes to show how the industry thinks of lawn tickets at SPAC.

Video footage of 2nd Tube at Frontier Town ordering Phish tickets in 2000 has recently surfaced

"Then I got section 201 row D. Awesome. Bought them. Great. So now in my cart is Section 201 row VV. Huh. Weird. I could have sworn those were row D. " That is so completely fucked. I have never had anything like this happen before. I suppose there are kinks they are going to need to work out before things run smoothly.

I called TM, cancelled my lawns at no charge and ended up in row D in 403............totally should be in the 200's......Actually I should be in the PIT, those dirty fuckers, but whatever. Gonna work the pavement and get closer.

I feel COMPLETELY duped with my Verified Fan experience. Tried for GA in front of the stage when that section was blue. Came back and it said those tickets were gone and then that section greyed out. Tried at least a dozen times for pav tickets, either 2 or 4, and in each instance it came back and said "Another verified fan has already purchased those tickets" - fine. I get it. That happens all the time. Here is where things turned shady. The GA in front of the stage turned blue again so I clicked it and was told I had 4 GA tickets. Bought them. Did all my shit and when it completed they were LAWN tickets, which I never clicked on. No idea how that played out in such a way so the only error I made was not taking a closer look because I wanted to ensure the transaction. Luckily, I bought insurance so I am going to cancel these bastardized tickets after I finally get something I am happy about. Worst case Ontario is I dont get in the PAV and end up bringing Nate but what a crock of shit. If it reigns that night that will be the ultimate cake on the icing.

I got picked for the TM Verified User so add that to my personal math equation earlier in the thread. Dont ask me to get you tickets unless you plan to pay out your ass because Capitalism sucks for you mother fuckin' bitches................ "Don't want to reign on your parade, but you do know that Phish has played dozens of concerts in places with legal weed, right? Fifteen in Colorado since legalization, another five at the Gorge, etcetera and so on..." Hopefully I am not a fucking idiot but "reigning" on one's parade seems vastly different that "raining" on said person's parade. If I could have afforded the time and monies for those other Phish shows you are alluding to then most certainly I would have been there. So says the Verified Phan. I assume this gives me Lot Cred now. Eat it bitches. Hugs now come with a dollar sign and the moment will never end until I say it does. The more you give.................et cetera................

Phish + Canada + legal weed Do the math edger ;-)

There is a great little speech from Grohl prior to this performance in a different Youtube offering but the audio/visual is slightly out of sync. Go check it out because it is quick and heartfelt.

This is pretty cool as a cover. The songwriter gets invited up onstage to add all the colour.

"Who knows? Maybe it'll be pretty great again." Exactly. I dont get how people will immediately write something off prior to it happening. Wouldnt you end up feeling stupid/judgmental if you werent right? We all do it from time to time thanks to some kind of nostalgic bullshit we tend to add to things but it seems so much more pronounced that people will immediately offer their initial reaction thanks to social media. Fucking mob mentality seems to be the group-think these days.

Scorsese is attached to Long Strange Trip, which is utterly fantastic, so this could be really special.

You are absolutely correct, aside from the induced anxiety that happens prior to making a firm decision on how I want to roll. I have a hard enough time picking something to eat off a menu at any pub.

Funny enough POG, I have contemplated doing this show sober while bringing Nate onto the lawn. I am not sure how many opportunities he will have to see a Phish show and I suspect he would have a fun. We will hang out with you if it is Nate and I, provided you are up for that idea. Nate would love that insane circus and laugh his head off a ton at stuff I wouldn't ever notice until he pointed it out. We would drive back to Kingston after the show. It will depend on what sorts of seats I can work out because if I am deep into the pavilion I am going balls out rock and roll but alot of friends are planning to hit this show, a few who havent seen Phish 3.0 That itself makes me think I am going balls out rock and roll no matter where I am in that venue.

This has the potential to be amazing.

As far as I am concerned, there is no coincidence our favorite band is in Toronto this coming summer Phish and legal weed. How much fun are we all gonna have? All of it................

RIP Super Dave

Fuck that hurt. Fair warning that is gets cut off.

...............when you dont even give a single fuck this is gonna be cut off..................
