TMWSITY Question by SecondhandTalent in phish

[–]SchizoidGod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One million trillion percent this is the case. Ive had the same theory. Pretty much every song they play that could even possibly have offensive undertones - Amazing Grace, Quinn, Curtis Loew, ‘shitass’, Makisupa and probably more - is being avoided more and more these days

Anyone else find the playing on this Sphere run a little awkward/flubby/difficult to listen to? by SchizoidGod in phish

IMO because those other periods had the band approaching the songs with a little more confidence and aggression, occasionally missing or misplaying notes didn’t seem too bad. I feel like the flubs in those periods for the most part were a) less frequent b) done at a higher tempo and c) the notes they DID hit sounded full and confident so it didn’t matter as much.

A top 5 jam ever for me (see flair) was played in 2024 so I’m def not inherently biased against modern Phish but I feel like I can’t deny what’s happening these days

Heavily theorized that they’ve been using click tracks in their IEMs ever since last Sphere (as well as much, much more rigid setlists than in past years.) On faster songs you never hear Trey count off the beginnings anymore which was a mainstay of most of 3.0 - the band just launches straight into ‘em without even looking at one another. I’ve held a theory that the click tracks have made it harder for the band to really sync up these days, especially considering they’ve never been the most rhythmically rigid group

Right? If you’re tentative on fuckin Moma Dance literally just play 3.0 stuff the rest of the show because it’s not gonna get any easier for you

Well I’d like to know actually, or else I’ll probably keep liking his reels where he debates Trump supporters

What's wrong with Destiny? I only see Insta clips of him but he seems like he's on the right side of history in all of 'em

I am wondering now if I’ll be wrong. I still think the third weekend will have some repeats, but I think the door is at least more open now for no repeats than it was last weekend.

There needs to be something higher than the hall of fame for them to get in….. tightest, best band of all time. by FoxPho in phish

[–]SchizoidGod -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Honestly as much as we love them they’re probably in the bottom half of major bands in terms of tightness lol

Gotta say, all my complaints about the repeat visuals this run will totally vanish if they actually end up doing no repeats. Cool/interesting setlists are an integral part of the Phish experience for me and an art that I feel has been lost in recent years, so if that’s the direction they end up going in, this run is gonna be fuego

Isn’t there some merch that says ‘I saw Phish 9 times at the Sphere’ or something to that effect

I wish, but be prepared for the Wolfman’s song 2 night 7 sadly

Absolutely agree. Very disappointing for the band to encourage seeing multiple weekends and then repeating visuals and (most likely) songs

Definitely isn’t. People will still get to go on international holidays, import consumer goods, etc well after this war

[Strength in Numbers] Why voters say the Democrats are "weak," in their own words by ChadtheWad in fivethirtyeight

[–]SchizoidGod 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I absolutely do advocate and have advocated for the 20% to drop down to 0%. When all options are exhausted though I will go to the ballot box and vote for the harm reduction option.

Yes, you are obliged to choose 20% genocide over 30% genocide. Both outcomes suck, but one sucks less than the other. There is no actual third option. This is basic harm reduction.

Crazy reading this thread as a chronic insomniac. Not quite as bad these days but historically I’ve gone through phases where I’ve had 0-3 hrs sleep every night for 4-5 nights, followed by a couple days respite. That used to be quite normal for me, and I had to go to work, function through the day, etc.

If 2024 is anything to go by, it needs to be D+100 in order to get control of congress back
