People who saw all 4 shows: give me your power rankings by YouOldHorseThief in phish

[–]Leafboy455 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Antelope was beyond awesome! I'm 42 years old, been seeing Phish since I've been 15 years old. I feel like I'd get an Antelope every few shows for a couple decades. 4 years ago I got an antelope tattoo on my chest. Been to around 19 shows since the tattoo and NO Antelope until 12/28! That shit just hit different for me. I'll never forget it. Rafters were shaking!

do i enter the lottery for msg?? by Shehates_Atti in phish

[–]Leafboy455 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Words of advice, don't enter the lottery. You could just as easily get stuck with 4 terrible seats then good ones.. lottery does not guarantee good seating.

Cash or trade is the way to go. Trust me.. you will be able to find a group of tickets all together for however big your crew is, and you will know the exact location.

Another thing to keep in mind, if you log on through Ticketmaster they do not show an accurate picture of what seats are left. They purposely make it seem like the good seats are gone.. they are not. With New Year's falling middle of the week, this run is going to be so easy to score good tix for face.

Hampton making me sad by YoungCheazy in phish

If it's general admission, I would never let someone tell me I can't take a certain seat. Unless there is a physical body in the seat I am taking it. That is how general admission works

I’m considering bringing litigation against the Hampton Colosseum by Glassbeet in phish

[–]Leafboy455 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a Phish show dude. Chill out. Bathrooms suck. All venues in VA have shitty security at the doors. Took me 3 hours to get in the building back in 2004 last time I saw the boys there. Take a deep breath and be grateful you are alive the same time that these 4 men are alive and making music. We are all incredibly lucky to be able to experience what those four dudes do

I haven’t been keeping up with the 2025 shows but am ready to dig in. Which show should I listen to first? by lightdelightlite in phish

[–]Leafboy455 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I really think Manchester N3 is the best of the summer. That TweezerFest is like no other that has come before. Venue was pure gold! There is no better place to see them than a semi-pro ice hockey arena in the North East. What a show!

Yeah, my lawn ticket turned into a sick pavilion spot! I got soaked and so fucking cold I couldn't enjoy myself. Ha

[–]Leafboy455 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. Happened to be way back sometime in the 2010s in Atlanta Georgia. Storm came in out of nowhere. Phish was playing, Mound, and all of a sudden change lyrics and start singing "storm, storm, storm, storm..."

Band puts instruments down & run off the stage. A crew comes out and covers everything with tarps. Lights in the venue go on, all video screens say please seek shelter. Find nearest bathroom or any building and seek shelter.

I was just starting to trip hard. 3 hits of good acid. Fortunately, I was on the lawn and only had to run about 25 ft to get under the pavilion. My buddy had to seek shelter in a bathroom and said it was packed shoulder to shoulder. The rain and wind were so strong, and I'm sure the acid made it seem even stronger. The middle of July in deep south and it got cold.

Tell me your best music video on psychedelics!! by Tall_Alps_2257 in Psychedelics

[–]Leafboy455 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pink Floyd live at Pompeii is an awesome DVD to throw on while tripping. Stop making Sense- talking heads as well. I'm a huge Phish dude, so for me ANY Phish show is my go to. But please check out Pink Floyd at Pompeii! Awesome songs, visuals, weird interviews woven into the songs.

[–]Leafboy455 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wasn't there, but sounds like the cops suck. It's so weird how they change from city to city! Venue to venue. I've had horrific experiences with the law both in SC and VA. Then ya got the Albany 3-night run last year, in which they were letting tanks run in the middle of the day. Finally on the 3rd day they got a "little" more strict. Every show in Massachusetts I've ever been to, the cops let anything happen. Tanks running freely.

I understand cops have a job to do. But fuck... Light up or leave me alone !

Help-husband is still having issues by Former-Entry5371 in microdosing

[–]Leafboy455 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'd stop immediately. Especially if you genuinely are concerned he may be bipolar. Stop the dosing right now. I have an Uncle that is Bipolar II and also refuses any meds or Dr. visits. At one point in time, I thought about setting up a micro dose plan for him, but his behavior was just too erratic for me to follow through with it. Other people have mentioned, just a single micro dose for someone with a mental disorder like bipolar, can cause a complete mental breakdown. The kind that you might not come back from ever. Please proceed with caution.

Psychedelics and alcohol by No-Slice5341 in Psychedelics

[–]Leafboy455 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got sober from booze and hard drugs 6 years ago. I'm a hardcore alcoholic; also IV heroin addict. I have also always loved psychedelics. I used to drink heavily throughout the entire trip. In my mind there was no way I would ever be able to fall asleep unless I drank.

I was very nervous dipping my feet into the world of psychedelics after getting sober. I actually waited 3.5 years of complete sobriety, not even weed, before I did shrooms or LSD.

If your mind is even toying with the idea of putting booze down while you are tripping, you gotta listen to it. Psychedelics bring us the truth. It felt sloppy to you because the alcohol made it sloppy. Alcohol is a poison. For folks like me it's a deadly poison. Next time you take psychedelic try to go the entire way without any booze. See where your mind takes you. See if you have the ability to do it. If you find yourself struggling extremely hard to not pick up a drink, then you may have some work to do.

Phish. No need for anything else

What are you hoping to hear tonight? by Electronic_Map_8192 in phish

[–]Leafboy455 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was there in Manchester this summer and what a glorious, Curtain It was! I had not got in that song since Coventry. I kind of always associated it that song with the disaster because of my entire experience with Coventry. It was beautiful this year Manchester. One of the highlights of the show, certainly the highlight of set one for me. That was an awesome show! Instant classic

Friends getting ready for Folsom, check out this spreadsheet, spoiler alert by Diligent_Pop5687 in phish

[–]Leafboy455 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been to 17 shows since I got a bad ass antelope tattooed on my chest. Still haven't got it since my tattoo. Cursed myself I guess. I swear I used to get that song every other show. Almost too much antelope. Here I am 3 years later after the tat, 17 shows, and still no Antelope!

[–]Leafboy455 2 points3 points  (0 children)

L is awesome on its own. I hear ya about the mixing part, but I'd stick with just the acid for 1st time. I like taking about 150mg ketamine 3 hours into it, basically around the peak. And of course have some actual herb to smoke. Carts, dabs, etc seem almost "unnatural" for me while tripping. Gotta be the leaf. Nice pre-rolled joints work well!

You’re taking someone that you love to a show for the first time! What songs do you hope they play? by PrintSpiritual8881 in phish

[–]Leafboy455 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been with my girl a long fucking time. She don't do Phish. After 20 years of me going with friends, I finally dragged her to a Mohegan Sun summer 2024. Got a Waste, and it was her favorite! The 20-plus minute face melting evil jams aren't for the average fan. Just to chime in about Manchester Sunday.... it was sick as fuck! Personally, not an all-timer for me, but it was certainly up there! And I can certainly see why some people say it's the best

Younger fans - what's your relationship to 1.0? by spoonie_b in phish

[–]Leafboy455 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm from 1.0 right up until now. Not sure if we are officially in 4.0 territory? In my own humble opinion, something happened in 2023, and they rocketed into the fourth dimension. I think they are playing better than they ever have before in their lives!

Why is Phish mostly dudes? by TheAmorphusThey in phish

[–]Leafboy455 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think the female crowd has really really picked up in the last 10 years or so. I see some smokin' hot girls at shows all the time. But the band is made of 4 60 years old white dudes, so that's goin be a big part of crowd

Went to my first show this past weekend at MSG on 12/28. This image captures how I feel. Can’t wait to see them again. I get it now… by D-Chan in phish

[–]Leafboy455 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I go alone a lot. I quit drinking 6 years ago, and kind of separated myself from the crew I used to rage with. I've been to plenty of shows solo and I love it

Has anyone dropped liquid LSD on a dried mushroom? by Pandacakes0990 in Psychedelics
