Dr_Evil_Mouse Posted October 6, 2006 Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 Now this thread is funny . Anything in the Talmud on non-kosher double bills? Would Phish be out if they didn't play any scales? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Im going home Donny Posted October 6, 2006 Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 I would LOVE it if Phish re united...love it.

dancingbear Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 hey all,o.k at risk losing all phishead credibility...who is Mr. Minor?the roses from island tour , ...even that whole roses set is not only psychedelic but tight psychedelic. not just loose and spacey but leading and explorative.anyhow the scene changed, and i feel for the worse. although somehow cypress scene was amazing . so maybe if they just played remote areas. like baffin island, p.e.i etc. then only the phans would come.

gkord Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 i find it funny that all this drug discussion spawned from a joke that trey cracked in a magazine that hasn't even been released yet. i am very interested to read his full Rolling Stone article when it comes out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hamilton Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 i am quite certain that trey was being sarcasticWhy are you quite certain that Trey was being sarcastic?The part about spending "all of your time freebasing cocaine" might be nominally sarcastic, but the reality is that there were serious drug issues within Phish for quite a while. The sentiment behind the statement likely remains the same, even if he was exaggerating the specifics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chameleon Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 I agree with Hamilton, I detected no saracism here. I truly hope I am wrongand that Trey was joking and he is not freebasing coke. Nothing would make me happier.However sadly, I am not that nieve.

zero Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 A handful of points to make regarding the last few comments. The Mr. Minor (Miner?) I was referring to is simply a head who to my knowledge has commented fairly regularly on message boards about the band over the years. I understand him to be thought of as knowledgeable. Yes he does take his name from the Mr. Miner from Harry Hood although that entry on Phish.net is flawed.Mr. Miner, who is thanked thrice in the song (just prior to the gorgeous-to-frenetic explosion) likely refers to a Mr. A. Miner (first name might be Floyd?), a former tenant of the King Street house for whom frequent calls from debt collectors came, constantly interrupting early Phish practices. (Other tales have Mr. Miner as the landlord (according to Sabr Ingalls 10/27/96), the man who owned the nearby plant/billboard (according to "Golgiap420" 9/7/96), the man who owned a convenience across the street that had a Harry Hood sign that he turned off each night so the boys could sleep, the milk delivery person, someone in a Harry Hood advertisement, or a former resident/tenant to whom much (we're talking a lot) of junk mail (including form letters beginning "Thank You, Mr. Minor") continued to come while the band lived there. More specifically, the former tenant (or landlord or whoever) was reportedly Mr. A. Miner, and/or the chords over which the three "Thank You Mr. Minor"'s are sung are minor chords (Bm C#m D#m - B-minor, C-sharp-minor, and D-sharp-minor), and the first chord in the song is D-minor. No convenience stores have Harry Hood signs they have Hood milk company signs. The combination of the Mr. Miner creditor calls and letters and the predominance of Hood milk advertising whether on the convenience store across the street or not play heavily into Harry Hood. I have a friend who was tripping balls driving on 1-95 in '94 either coming to or from a show, listening to Harry Hood when a Hood milk truck went wooshing by. Whoaaaaaa.I dig Gkord's comment regarding sarcasm and yes the remark is ripe with sarcasm but it's black humour that works because it is believable and likely not that far off point.although somehow cypress scene was amazingI have no doubt Cypress was amazing. That said the first hand accounts I have heard coming out of that show, beyond the fatality are spine curdling. I gather people were selling acid wash, either pure liquid or a wash of trimmings or something in small palmolive travel bottles for like $100. That fucked a lot of people up large. I heard of a woman wandering around catatonic and naked and looking like ill was going to come of her (I guess that's sort of standard issue). I heard of a handful of break ins and sexual assaults but that's also standard issue I guess. The most alarming thing I heard was that some guys had carried in a sofa into the grounds and then a wook crew spotted someone who must have owed them money and beat the fuck out of the guy right in the venue then like stuffed him under the couch. My buddy thought he was just tripping out so went to check out the couch and sure enough buddy was tucked underneath and all fucked up. I definitely got some apocalyptic vibes from the stories I heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secondtube Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 well, mr Kung, i was there for four days straight, back in my partying days, fucked on every drug under the sun, and i didn't see anything overly shady (at least compared to Darien Lake shady), the whole weekend. it seemed like most of the shady kidz stayed in their slums, and i met mostly fans....still the greatest musical experience of my life.

zero Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 No doubt, no doubt. Didn't mean to take away from that. Just from the American friends of mine, who do happen to know some really dark drugged out Biscuits type fans, I heard these sorts of stories and it wasn't exageration on their part. I guess you can find whatever you want to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancingbear Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 zero i have no doubt thats all true. seems to be true of most shows, one person will have one experience, another person will be at the opposite pole. shows either cypress or even stadium shows are just that 'big'. overall though i felt the vibe to be like the weather, sunny.
