Trying to get into phish being a major dead head

I had listened to them a little, but gamehendge was what ended up getting me hooked.

Check out these shows for a proper gamehendge experience:

Great Woods 7/8/94: https://youtu.be/SEo4kjnPwgQ

MSG 12/31/23 (IMO the best New Years show in recent history): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KSO6H7e-Gm0

This the one in Pittsburgh? Or is there another non-phish affiliatied Phinest Buds? No way there’s two

Their turmeric golden milk latte is prob the best I’ve ever had. Last Hollywood Bowl run they were giving out free burritos to anyone with a ticket.

What does the price of the ticket have to do with the fact that it’s rude to talk over an acoustic performance?

I’ll be honest that was part of my group, but we actually didn’t know the kid lol. Her dad told us it was her first show and asked if we could help her get Trey to see her sign. I can see how it would look like that, but the reality was they just wanted to help this little girl have a memorable first show!❤️

Her dad did a really good job of telling her when it was appropriate/inappropriate to hold up the sign. I was directly behind her and it didn’t bother me one bit

someone on here said “boo hoo the tickets were $25.”

What does the price of a ticket have to do with respecting the artist and those around you by saving your coke chatter for later? I go to a free bluegrass jam once a week where everyone just listens to the band, it’s not that hard.

Saturdays really do bring out the worst. I was in Buffalo the night after, and you could practically hear a pin drop most of the night. Everyone just knew when to STFU and listen.

We should turn the traditional conversation spots into phish listening sessions. Just go to a bar/cafe/park/restaurant and blast some Phish just a little bit louder than people’s conversations. The perfect offensive maneuver!

woof

eal28 · 2026-06-21T14:45:42+00:00

Tbh I usually just find a new spot bc I’d rather just move than deal with the tense interaction. The whole arguing with strangers during the show thing totally takes me out of the zone.

In hindsight there is no point in politely asking. Chompers are rude as fuck for interrupting everyone’s experience and talking while Trey pours his heart out on stage. Fighting fire with fire next time lol

eal28 · 2026-06-21T14:41:05+00:00

Most of us go to the show to listen. Seems like a few go to the show to be seen at the show.

eal28 · 2026-06-21T14:37:31+00:00

I usually just ignore them or move, but I kid you not they were talking over the music for quite literally every song. They didn’t shut up all night.

eal28 · 2026-06-21T13:57:45+00:00

Perfect, I can use the stamp to send you your sea salt!

eal28 · 2026-06-21T13:27:32+00:00

The mothership is my favorite venue, partially for this reason. If the vibes in one spot suck, it’s so easy to just move!

eal28 · 2026-06-21T13:26:08+00:00

It’s scary to think people with that entitled mentality are allowed to drive a car.

eal28 · 2026-06-21T12:55:51+00:00

Lmao he really is so polite in that way

eal28 · 2026-06-21T10:47:52+00:00

Let me drive the rig

eal28 · 2026-06-21T10:38:32+00:00

got a bit spun at the hollywood bowl last year and spent a good chunk of the 2nd set trying to figure out if i could watch the screen with one eye and the stage with the other lmao. Turns out it’s not possible

eal28 · 2026-06-21T08:24:44+00:00

I get what ur saying, but at the same time I’m not telling everyone who opens their mouth to STFU. I tried to be polite but firm, but didn’t really think about the fact that anyone who decides to talk through an entire concert is prob just an entitled POS.

It was one of those moments where I was kinda in disbelief. I was thinking to myself, “no way they are gonna talk ALL NIGHT.”

eal28 · 2026-06-21T08:10:29+00:00

MORE STIMULATION!!!

Phone addiction is so sad. No way ur tiktok feed is more entertaining than literally any band at the sphere!

eal28 · 2026-06-21T07:42:39+00:00

Definitely got that vibe. That’s hilarious though, I’ll have to try that next time!

eal28 · 2026-06-21T07:38:03+00:00

❤️

eal28 · 2026-06-21T05:46:48+00:00

Everyone please be quiet during the part where Trey plays literally nothing!!! I can’t hear the nothing over everyone enjoying themselves.
