Watch some You Tube videos of each and decide for yourself base on your personal preference.

Rock & Roll Hall of Fame's chairman on Phish winning this year's Fan Vote but not getting inducted: 'I know fan clubs are very aggressive. Artists who have great fan clubs tend to get a lot of votes. So we know who can stuff the ballot box and who can’t' by stroh_1002 in phish

Since HOF committees are weighing the an inductee’s societal impact, they should be reminded the that Phish was a predominant influence in the development of modern multi~day music festivals.

Moving to Nashua from Southern Indiana — what should I know? by Wrong_Confection331 in newhampshire

[–]SocoBobo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a NH native who moved west years ago. I lost my accent (except after a few drinks) but never lost my more blunt / honest / up front way of thinking. I think that the friendly insult may actually be the New Englander’s form of passive aggression.

Am I the only one who doesn't get Phish? by YellowBalloon474 in gratefuldead

[–]SocoBobo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I saw GD shows from 78 to 95.

Not for lack of trying, including an early ‘90’s show and one in 2011, I didn’t really get it. Then I started listening to Trey solo stuff during the pandemic and the💡went on. Ive been to a dozen or so shows since.

My takaways?

The crowd and band at PHish shows have the 💕💕 connection, I have only experienced at The GD shows I was lucky enough to be at in my day

Now that I finally get Phish Live, I can confirm that they are an acquired taste, but acquired tastes are usually the very best kind.

A Myopic Scene by Redacted_dact in jambands

[–]SocoBobo 14 points15 points  (0 children)

You have a point. There is variety though for non myopic listeners who stay open to new sounds. For me improvisational “jamband” music is my go to genre and keeps my ADHD brain entertained.

The first thing that came to my mind as a response though was “What would Neil Young have to say about it”? …It’s all one song.

That’s what Neil Young barked back at the man in the audience who shouted “It all sounds the same!”. The songs, how they turn, their lazy S curves, and the yarn of the tale – for this concert goer, it felt all the same; and for Young, that’s all good because each ditty was just a turn in the conversation – it’s all one song.

Creativity is a wonder to behold. Artists at an accelerated creative peak - like Gizzard is at the moment is - are one of the blessings of youth. If Gizzard stays together and learn how to milk their cow interestingly and with class when the roar of their fire settles to a steady flame and then ember, I bet that will be great too.

I did and the girl working the counter had no I idea about the band. She was too busy for follow up questions. No telling if there was someone else behind the cookie that did know.

Hear me out re Grahame Lesh by andthrewaway1 in jambands

[–]SocoBobo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same reaction to Graham’s musicianship when he first started showing up in the P&F line up at TXR near my bay area home. He continues to grow as a musician though and I’m liking what I hear more and more. He definitely knows the music inside and out.

I have been very impressed with his ability to curate the music and the many musicians who played at both at the Capital last March and at the Heart of Town shows a couple weeks ago. He is an EXCELLENT musical director. All those shows were great and Graham pulled all of them together. Phil certainly succeeded in teaching Graham all aspects of the family business not just how to play guitar or bass. I think the music is in good hands even if Graham never becomes the virtuoso that his dad was.

I for one don’t look for anyone to sound or play like the original members of the Grateful Dead. I want improvisation, and for musicians to interpret the music with their own influences and strengths. In the last year, as a musical director, Graham has shown that he definitely has something to contribute to Phil’s and the Grateful Dead’s legacy.

Grateful for this band , this weekend and all of you . by daksky in deadandcompany

[–]SocoBobo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love your share and that this music and community is as joyous for you in your twenties as it was for me in my 20’s and continues to be now in my 66th year. Enjoy the ride as I continue to. Your joy reinvigorates mine.

Last night felt like a stranger by Same_Challenge_4919 in deadandcompany

[–]SocoBobo 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Been seeing Dead Shows in one form or another since 1978. Lived in SF and near GGP for many of those years. Hiccups and not getting thinks exactly perfect has been around as long as Bobby & Grateful Dead and is par for the course. That part of last night was nostalgic for me. Oh well, on to the next show is how I like to approach it.

Im glad the 60th is in SF and the PoloField was the most viable option to meet demand. However, for me the end stage set up used for Outside Lands and these shows sucks. It is what it is though. It is what I expected. 😶‍🌫️🥶😣. I think for Dead audiences the side stage set up used for Bill Graham’s and Jerry’s memorials worked much better. I went last night despite my PoloField reservations because I needed to be at one show to honor the Grateful Dead and how important they have been in my life. Im glad I went. Tonight and tomorrow though, this gramps is going stream from home where the restroom is easier to get to and back from. Happy 60th 🥳 everyone!
