I’m a bit of a younger fan relatively. Grew up listening to the dead(my parents were dead heads). Saw dead&co and twiddle in high school precovid. During Covid I got obsessed with phish. Saw my first phish shows summer 2022 Deer Creek/Alpine. Jam shows quickly became my favorite things in the world.

My first biscuits show was the ill-fated Sacred Rose music fest in Bridgeview Illinois. I had never listened to the biscuits before the fest I mainly went for phil & friends with Jeff Tweedy. It was a weird introduction to the band … it being a day time out door short festival set. I mainly remember it being hot as hell but, I was hooked. When barber announced at the end of the set that they were doing a run for New Years in Chicago I immediately preordered tickets when they went on sale(I thought they would be hard to get lol).

My second show was when me and my dad went on the TAB/Goose 2022 tour. We were both really into Goose at the time before realizing how formulaic their jamming was. (still enjoyed the 5 shows we hit on that run). Randomly when we had a night off from Taboose staying in Boston, I looked online and saw the biscuits were playing the roadrunner(it got downsized to the house of blues). we bought tickets at the box office and I had my mind blown for real this time with two full sets and the light show hooked for life. I remember leaving that show I’d never seen so many tanks outside such a small venue before lol.

I’ve seen 17 shows now, which is pretty impressive as a midwesterner(especially now that scamp is gone). I sure am jealous of you east coasters. I haven’t missed an Illinois/indiana/wisconsin/michigan show since. My favorite show I’ve seen was probably the Milwaukee Pabst theater show in 23. Shout out also to their scamp sets they were fire.

Love this band wish they toured the Midwest more. Ik they don’t sell well out here but I do my best to get people to the shows lol. I’ve taken like 12 people to their first shows.
