the 10th show of Fall 96 is... not one you are likely to spin very often unless you were there. sorry. but when the highlight is a Mule->Catapult->Mule and a few teases that's not moving the needle. plus the next show is where IT all starts to make sense lostinmyreflection.blog/2016/01/19/n...

10.26 is full of #phish options for one and all 89 young energy 91 jokes at Trey's expense 94 awesome night in Boone 96 simple->mcgrupp! 10 jamchester! night nurse 13 big jammin' in wootown 18 tweezer->golden age! 21 pebbles! little squirrel and more 24 jams to benefit divided sky!

how is it possible that today marks 13 freaking years since #Phish last graced the stage at ye olde Worcester Centrum?? I will be glad to see the #BMFTAB shows there soon but c'mon, guys! (yes I know the infrastructure was limiting the modern light rig but that has been addressed!)

the 2nd trip to Hampton for #phish is not nearly where the band will take things in years to come & it is light on highlights w/ perhaps the Hood & Coil being most notable... but is still an upward trend from the visit the year before lostinmyreflection.blog/2016/01/08/n...

gotta say the thing that is always listening in my kitchen did well this morning in generating a little Playlist while I made mornings tacos/quesadillas for misters 12.1 and 12.2 fed only "play Rolling Stones Dear Doctor" it then proceeded to drop Willin', Come Together, Time Is On My Side, & Isis

Would it kill them to actually have a saxophone player join for this song, even just once? Trey loves long con jokes but this one is getting ridiculous

What is a band without saxophone? Ooh ooh, saxophone is grand

love this find! starts just before 8:20 (sbd). not sure if it fully qualifies as a tease to those who decide such things but Trey definitely seems to be playing the melody to It's All Too Much (Beatles) in this 07.14.26 Sand. it carries over for the next several minutes as well

Chris Harriott@ckhesq.bsky.social

is trey teasing its all too much in middle of the savannah sand?

today marks the 13th anny of what we lovingly refer to here as "Glens Fail Day" due to this being the show where my BiL in his Heady-Topper-fueled-bravado thought it would be a good idea to try to hop the boards to get back to the floor at the start of the 2nd set.

the vault may have been flawless but the landing was not, resulting in him shattering his leg and ending up writhing on the floor as the band kicked into Rock and Roll. all reports indicated he was a complete joy for the hospital staff to deal with that night...

And for those decrying Trey on the minikit these days... the Tweezer here says "hold my drumsticks" as even with two professional drummers on stage he still goes for it, resulting in positively the most percussive tweezer one could ever want

Along with the bounty of hams to be found in Fall 2021 #phish there's also the game of "what sci-fi soldier song are they nodding to without us knowing it yet" most evidenced by the various new tones Trey and especially Page began introducing

the Soul Planet *after* THE Soul Planet is quite the engaging jam itself even being not nearly half as long 10.22.21 gets soupladle'd in the 3hole & but for the stabby bit this one takes OFF. full-on Fish beat clinic throughout plus another foreshadowing Sci-Fi synth punch by Page at the denouement

such a tired old nostalgia band getting by on their past successes...

obviously Merl Saunders big in that encore too I just ran out of characters. still stands as the last time (of two) that phish has performed Watchtower, both with guests (the other with DMB in 94)

that Dolly tribute show last night was really wonderful to watch. a lot of times when people pass you hear the praise knowing there is darkness underneath but not for Dolly. and that carried through not just in the words people shared but the music they made to honor her.

hard to believe here at the cusp of 100 that the pair of shows #phish performed at MSG Fall 1996 were just the 4th & 5th ever there. while these shows got heavily expectation'd they aren't *bad* they just aren't what folks wanted. Blast that Simple though! lostinmyreflection.blog/2015/12/29/s...

expectedly rocking Wilson>Santos encore later and that'll do it for this one. iirc I convinced my niece who was attending Oregon at the time to go grab a ticket in the lots for this show. good job, me.

Golden Age gets to some very beautiful space, settling into a patient jam that never goes off the rails one way or the other. it isn't quite MLB territory but it feels akin to that vibe

here is where the "aha" moment lies that a lot of the familiar playing/tone I am hearing in this show is a direct result of the JFAT experience that unfolded once all the members of TAB dropped due to covid and Fish came in to save the day.

two songs in, with a nice table setter Mr C and then Energy these jams feel closer to Baker's Dozen vibe than anything beyond then. which I suppose makes sense as this tour was still in the hazy daze of covid-impacted touring and Trey hadn't done yet another rig overhaul...

probably a good idea for me to at least have listened to some of the music my daughter begs me to get tickets for... so where are my Calvin Harris folks? what is worth spinning?

Hey pro tip: if you are asking on CoT for a "last minute miracle" for 2 2day passes for shows still a month away... that ain't last minute and the ask is pretty bold to begin with. Cmon what are we doing here
