CharlieDon'tSurf Posted April 30, 2002 Report Share Posted April 30, 2002 Pardon the giant signature! I had no idea the man was so gigantic. By my calculations, he was over 16 feet tall, which is somewhat abnormal for his era... I'll stick with Duvall for now as he is just under 10 feet tall (based on the proportions in the pics) and fits better in web format... (insert segue here) As far as Phish is concerned, I have an extremely limited base to work from them. My sole source for anything Phishy would be dogatthestation and his live-in Habs fan Reba. Any advice on how to proceed into Phish Utopia would be greatly appreciated... what should I listen to first? It doesn't necessarily need to be their best performance, but maybe their most quintessential... if there is a difference... anyway, I'm looking forward to your thoughts (good or bad) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaybone Posted April 30, 2002 Report Share Posted April 30, 2002 I often start newbies off on Slip Stitch and Pass, their live release from '97. Full of funk and wierd fun. It gives you a nice flavor to get you started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieDon'tSurf Posted April 30, 2002 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2002 you all rock... this is exactly what I needed to hear/read! Thanks to all for the input so far...i'll let you know how the process goes I will definitely start with The Man Who Stepped into Yesterday (thanx Treyter) and work my out from there scottieking, what is it about the 4/16/92 show that most impressed you? How much has it influenced the rest of your Phish experiences? That should be a nice simple question to answer! thanx again all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booche Posted April 30, 2002 Report Share Posted April 30, 2002 Buried Alive > Possum at the start was fun as hell and gave me a sense that this was a different brand of band. The It's Ice always floored me, how did they sing like that? BATR showed me that one can really play a fun/difficult melodic line on their instruments whilst singing a different part from the other 2 dudes doing the same concept. Split (YES) and then the Maze, hearing that for the first time was quite an experience. Coln Forbin>Mockingbird and of course, everyones favorite zoo animal, Antelope. I got off on the "run run run run run run run" like everyone else does when they first get into Antelope.GREAT TAPE, Treyter helped me wear that one out. And thanks Harpua! (I moon you!)Never had the second set to that one.......but I am sure it would drive your Sanity insane. That whole April run is pretty legendary by Phish standards I think.....wait a second, have I become ScottieKing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treyter Posted May 1, 2002 Report Share Posted May 1, 2002 might want to start with The Man Who Stepped Into Yesterday (Trey's college thesis)then i'd recommend something from '92 (maybe 4/16/92) then maybe hit some 96 (clifford ball perhaps?) then follow uncle booche...'cause '97 is the shit.
