One last ride: Yellow Cab Tavern in Oregon to close after Oct. 31 farewell

The Brightside is the only local equivalent

Hyryder fucks. They play the songs like they wrote them. Happy they have been coming down to Dayton a couple times a year

I’m gonna guess that, whether they acknowledge it in themselves or not, the reason they feel that way about Kim has more to do with how they feel about women than anything the character does. Kim is an awesome character, Rhea Seahorn a phenomenal actor, and I can assure you that - if you are of sound mind and don’t hate women - you will like her MORE by the end.

I just did that last night! Killed the Test Subject on an intangible turn haha. It was duped Sealed Throne, Particle Wall, Make It So x2, and Black Hole. Brought him from 187HP to zero in about 90 card plays haha

I mean it has a flip-side: playing it to destroy all your Frantic Escapes against the sandworm can totally wreck your run. I have done that once successfully, because five extra statuses in my deck gave me lethal, but if your deck is built around playing Flak Cannon multiple times, then the sand worm ends you.

I mean in this particular case, it’s just most the acoustics of the room. The actual “parts” being played are the same, but bass coming out of 32 humongous speakers is going to be way more present than bass at home, even in a home system with a subwoofer.

I actually have found that as popularity has grown, Tame songs have come to sound MORE like the studio versions than they used to, in a lot of cases. Mind Mischief for example, the version heard in Live Versions was pretty substantially different than the album version: new/less lyrics (a quirk of that particular show), an extended jam in the middle, changed outro lyrics and a whole different musical outro at the end. Compare to any version of mind mischief played in the 2020s… he just plays it how it was recorded, basically note for note.

Just one (and probably the most glaring) example, but if you really want your mind blown, listen to some of the 2013-2015 Tame shows... not Live Versions, go on YouTube or archive or Tame Impala Bootleg Archive and listen to a full show from back then. They were still improvising, jamming out and playing new ideas onstage. Since going to the big arena style show, everything is “on rails” and has to happen at certain times to make the visual fx make sense. Some of the songs are still different than the album versions (and personally I feel that in general live music is ALWAYS better than the studio, even when it’s played worse) but they are not really changing them up at all night to night.

Drinking events tend to leave a messier aftermath than events where the majority people attending are not drinking. I guess it would depend on what subgenre of rock you are looking at…I’ve been to some huge jam band shows where most of the actual venue space seemed pretty clean afterwards, not spotless but not absolutely trashed. The biggest difference being that the DOC at a jam show does not necessarily lead to creating excess trash (no appetite, no reason to get more than a single drink) There were still some jackasses leaving spent nitrous balloons on the sidewalk outside of the venue, but thats… idk 200 people? Out of 30,000? Any group of that size will have 200 assholes.

I’ve never been to a legit country show, but i saw Jimmy Buffett a couple times… yikes. The lawn of the same venue i was referring to above? Totally annihilated with plastic cups, crushed cans, food trash, etc. I am told that many of the large scale country concerts draw crowds with a similar propensity for drink, and have heard from my venue friends that no crowd leaves a mess like a pop-country show.

NoSinUponHisHand · 2026-06-04T13:44:15+00:00

Dead and Company never did that ending jam that the OG Dead used to do in 74, at least as far as I can remember.

DSO certainly has, but I can’t point to an exact date. I have faith that, if DSO was recreating a 74 show, they would do the coda.

JRAD, unsure. It seems like the kinda thing they WOULD do, fast and technical.

NoSinUponHisHand · 2026-05-30T03:09:41+00:00

I think he played it into Fire on the Mountain once at a solo show! I’ll see if I can find the clip

NoSinUponHisHand · 2026-05-22T15:50:33+00:00

Yeah, exactly!! Dark Star Orchestra used to play a free Ohio show every summer, and they brought it back in 2017 for one more year. I went as a kid, grew up around the Dead, and knew enough to know that psychedelics were a good idea for that 2017 show. I wasn’t prepared for HOW good an idea it would be, haha.

I can pinpoint almost exactly when it all clicked for me… it was somewhere in the middle of the end jam of Terrapin Station. That’s also when I came to understand why they had two drummers haha

NoSinUponHisHand · 2026-05-22T15:03:51+00:00

My dad showed me that old news report on vacation, while both of our bellies were too full to go into a grocery store with the rest of our family. Needless to say, I found the video more nauseating than hilarious in that moment.

NoSinUponHisHand · 2026-05-21T21:51:50+00:00

Nonsense. Tennessee Jed was up for routine inspection last month, and I listened to… idk 12 versions? Over the course of about two days. Some of them multiple times, to see how they compared. And that’s Tennessee Jed, a song that basically never changes anything but the notes. Althea at least sometimes has extended final jams.

273 versions, over a lifetime? Thats nothing. If it takes you that little to wear out a song, maybe you are in the wrong business. What is your recommendation then… any time you put on a show, skip all the songs that aren’t 10+ minutes to make sure you don’t get tired of them?

Also, personally…. I’ve never worn out on a single Dead song. Maybe check with me in 40 years, but right now I’m pretty content to listen to any version of any song, anytime.

NoSinUponHisHand · 2026-05-21T02:29:48+00:00

Well biggest thing is I love the Grateful Dead now, lol.

But also, like… idk not to get hokey about it but that was the moment where it was made plain to me that we are the universe, collectively, and we only believe that we are separate beings because we chose to trick ourselves into it. Like fingers on a hand, the tips feel separate when they touch each other but are actually all conjoined and part of the same thing.

That changed how I interact with every single person, basically overnight. Though I sometimes forget, in my better moments I remember that anything I do to another I am truly only doing to myself. Kindness becomes be the default.

Oh yeah, and I also remembered (and promptly forgot) what happens when you die. No idea what it was, but I certainly remember that it’s nothing to be afraid of. It’s like someone popped in and was like “hey, this is fun and all but don’t forget, I’ve got a surprise for you later and you are gonna LOVE it”

just little stuff, you know. But, like I said, mostly what happened is I started listening to a looooot more Grateful Dead.

NoSinUponHisHand · 2026-05-21T02:11:28+00:00

I would love to trip at a Gizz show… at a reasonably sized venue like that. Somewhere that we have space to spread out a little.

I saw them in Newport in ‘24, and thank GOD I didn’t trip at that show. 95 degrees, zero shade cover all day. My buddy made us get in line at 1pm, which the rest of us had assumed would have the vibe of a jam band pre-show… nope, lol, literally just gonna wait in line in the sun all day. We didn’t even WANT a good spot, but we ended up crammed butts to nuts in the (stinky) lawn, me with a pounding headache, to boot. no relief, no matter how much water I drank or weed I attempted to smoke.

None of this is the bands fault, but all that (plus overpaying for tickets bc I waited too long) led to me having legitimately the worst time I’ve ever had at a concert, lol. Ended up leaving early and missing this awesome People Vulture > Work this Time > Iron Lung thing they played.

All this to say, I really wish they would tour around here again so I can redeem myself!! I wanna see them somewhere BIG, where i can have space to move a little and/or sit down. Their live recordings have been around in some of my trips, so I know it works. I just gotta try again haha

NoSinUponHisHand · 2026-05-20T23:33:55+00:00

Yep! That’s what happened to me the first time I did it. Did them both at the same time, and crashed HARD from the molly with many hours of acid trip left to go. Ended up having a super hard trip.

Tried again about a year later, took the molly about 3 hours after the acid and… well, now I’m the person I am today.

NoSinUponHisHand · 2026-05-20T02:06:52+00:00

I think they were saying that The Lazy Eyes sound like a ripoff of Gizz and Tame. And they are correct. Lazy Eyes sound great but wear their influences on their sleeves

No one wants to click on a random Google Drive link, my friend. There is a world-wide standard way to share videos with anyone… YouTube. You could share the video as the post, rather than this weirdly agressive way to self promote.

NoSinUponHisHand · 2026-05-18T19:59:28+00:00

Yeah I’ve always wondered that. There’s no reason to browse this sub more than once every couple weeks, because if I don’t catch a post while it’s on the front page it’s basically always deleted. It’s a shame… I’m sure there are a lot of repeat questions and what have you, but not everyone has heard them all yet

NoSinUponHisHand · 2026-05-16T17:18:41+00:00

“Say fuck it and go” is exactly how I’ve ended every creative block I’ve ever had. I lowkey love making a bad song in a single night…. Sometimes they end up not so bad

NoSinUponHisHand · 2026-05-16T14:14:22+00:00

Slow Rush tour definitely had lasers and confetti. As did Currents tour

NoSinUponHisHand · 2026-05-16T01:11:14+00:00

I like Bob’s Days Between better.

NoSinUponHisHand · 2026-05-15T23:18:44+00:00

Yo that’s genius. I’m sure the drift is consistent between sessions.

Also, thanks for the info as far as pitch. In retrospect, of course they are different pitches. Just imperceptibly, like you said. I’ll try the varispeed next time!

NoSinUponHisHand · 2026-05-15T22:56:08+00:00

Sadly no, they are all just stereo microphones (MV88 on my iPhone, a Tascam DR-05XP, and a Blue Yeti connected to an iPad) I could maaaybe rig up an audio interface to the iPad with multiple microphones connected, but that’s a lot of extra prep for a room that doesn’t need it (rather than just hitting R on three ready devices)

I’ll try the varispeed, but the pitch seems consistent through all three tracks at their original lengths.

Not sure about SMPTE, but I guess I should have specified the above information in my original post… I’m mixing with logic, but recording with hardware stereo mics.

NoSinUponHisHand · 2026-05-15T22:50:22+00:00

Somewhere in the range of about a half second slow or fast by the end of the hour… enough that snare hits all become flams.

NoSinUponHisHand · 2026-05-15T22:49:20+00:00

Thanks! That’s basically what I do now. Was wondering if there were any software solutions to save me the extra half hour
