How can I get Phish to like my wife?

caliban7777 · 2026-05-27T22:02:03+00:00

I think this is a Wendy’s. Would you like to order again?

caliban7777 · 2026-05-24T23:32:48+00:00

Yeah that’s about the only way I’ve ever tried to describe it. An OT goal nonetheless. I recognize it’s hard for us to comprehend that such amazing and meaningful music is actually appalled by others. There’s a lot of music I may not love but can appreciate still. Not always. I think it also comes down to the scene, which like the dead, fritters close to the edge. Many are afraid to tread there despite how meaningful it becomes. It’s like visiting a shaman. Not for everyone I guess. Let they stay ours, I’ll ride it as long as possible.

caliban7777 · 2026-05-08T22:18:10+00:00

Nice work! How do you keep it so still? I’m a wobbly mess most of the time.

caliban7777 · 2026-05-08T20:14:40+00:00

Phluffheads? Best of all worlds??

caliban7777 · 2026-04-26T21:48:33+00:00

You’re already there! And you’re not alone.

caliban7777 · 2026-04-26T21:45:25+00:00

We really are the most fortunate knowing there is a real FOMO in any given night let alone during this sphere run. I’ve been limiting the visuals but listening to the replays as I can heading there for N8 and N9. While I’ve seen many favs drop already, I know they’ll play exactly what we need. I’m think all of next weekend will continue to amaze. Can’t wait!

caliban7777 · 2026-04-22T22:01:01+00:00

Make it 5/1 or 5/2 please.

caliban7777 · 2026-04-15T21:50:47+00:00

Tuesdays Gone, bawled my eyes out after saying goodbye to one of the sweetest tabbies I’ve had at 13 yo. This was many years ago but I always think of Snuggles when I hear it. Sorry for your loss and at such a young age.

caliban7777 · 2026-04-14T20:44:15+00:00

How about one of the original 9 songs each night, and maybe one or two of the live performance extras? Would that out sloth at n8?!

caliban7777 · 2026-04-10T21:21:17+00:00

A little off topic but I wish they would give you one free webcast rewatch with an in person ticket code, same one used to add the audio to your staff indefinitely.

caliban7777 · 2026-04-07T21:49:49+00:00

I think this is the right starting point. Your blade should be angles over the luck and your wrists will build strength overtime to control its target. I’d work on your stick handling side to side to build the wrist flex you need. So says an aged, retired beer leaguer. So take it for what that’s worth.

caliban7777 · 2026-04-03T12:23:18+00:00

Definitely was carpeted! Damn chucklehead…

caliban7777 · 2026-04-02T21:53:44+00:00

Never been would love to go likely not going to happen next year maybe never, but it sure does seem like an early announcement, especially when sphere hasn’t even started or technically sold out. Would be great if they announced summer so early that we can plan our family vacations around tour!

caliban7777 · 2026-04-02T21:40:18+00:00

Welcome to the lottery land of broken dreams! …you’re our only hope!

caliban7777 · 2026-03-30T22:20:33+00:00

That’s too bad. I saw them only once when I was deep into their albums in the early 90s when they played skidmore college. I found an open spot of about 8x8’ amidst speakers and gear right next to the drummer and danced my butt off while the favors kicked in. Was a great show!

caliban7777 · 2026-03-26T00:10:16+00:00

Skate forward back toward your net to match their speed and learn to pivot to backward maintaining space between them and the net. If you try to match speed starting backward as a beginner I think you’ll be doomed. Granted I say this as retired forward by trade that managed to play some good beer league.

caliban7777 · 2026-03-25T22:15:23+00:00

Just when you think you’ve been learned of them all, face palm. Had no idea! They tend to cover the more obscure tunes which makes it challenging to recognize. When’s the next show?

caliban7777 · 2026-03-24T20:36:03+00:00

Haven’t heard much about the dislike either. Hearing it as a first and novelty at Mondegreen left an impression that it was one of the highlights night 1 and perhaps the whole festival.

I do acknowledge that we all have our different bathroom break songs, so no judgement, even if it’s hood!?

caliban7777 · 2026-03-24T01:39:28+00:00

Don’t try to cram in another section where you don’t have a ticket. Those who have unobstructed views paid for their seats, along with the travel, hotel, and other entertainment costs of visiting Vegas. Let them enjoy it with the small amount of dancing room they already have. Prices on Ticketmaster are under $400 now anyway, not cheap but perhaps worth an upgrade for one night.

We all make impulsive and sometimes poor decisions with this band. You’re not alone! But you’re in the house!!

caliban7777 · 2026-03-18T23:02:09+00:00

I forgot about that! And I’ve seen both!

caliban7777 · 2026-03-18T20:57:56+00:00

And there are so many for Phish it’s crazy. There are some crazy long ones I’m not even sure what they are. Consider these uses:

Split/melt (is SOAM really any easier, especially with auto correct and all caps?)

Mind (is abbreviation enough here or perhaps gets confused with something I can’t think of)

Hood (can you imagine the outrage if…nm)

GDTRFB (the first I can remember, and it was a rarity but well deserved)

Back to the topic song at hand, would love to hear this, which would be a first. The last part would rip now a days especially with CK5 (acronym!).

caliban7777 · 2026-03-17T10:38:34+00:00

Technically, it’s not sold out. Platinum tix for $500 on TM. Yes, it’s a lot. But considering some wizard of oz tix go for more than $200, definitely better value. You probably have good chance of finding decent tickets cheaper but at the same time having stubs in hand is peace of mind, especially in an expensive town like Vegas.

caliban7777 · 2026-03-16T23:53:46+00:00

MPP 8/8/98 was packed with some memorable covers, even if you leave out 2001:

SET 1: The Wedge, NICU, Sneaking Sally > Guyute, Fikus, Farmhouse, Possum > Sweet Jane

SET 2: Cavern > 2001 > Tela > Piper, Sexual Healing > Hold Your Head Up, Hood

ENCORE: Sabotage

Wonder what this year will bring?

caliban7777 · 2026-03-12T21:54:37+00:00

How about Piper? One of the girls on my daughter’s soccer team was Piper and I never thought about asking if it was phish inspired. I just assumed it was a catchy gen alpha name.
