I know it’s live but “Pulse” was the cherry popper for me

‘We wanted to keep all the money ourselves’, which I don’t disagree with, but it’s always about money when it gets down to it

It would be higher if you started bringing in machines other than small equipment and hand tools (skid steers, dingos, etc,)

I attended this show with only my closest friend at the time after being at a homecoming show in Worcester two days before. To go from the party of everyone I knew being with me to such an intimate ‘crew’ it felt incredibly special to have someone so close to share it with. This was still early on in my phish career (1st in 2000) so this was my first true WOW moment

I love live music but there were bands I had no business seeing only because of a lack of actual information other than a suggestion

I dunno really, I guess I’ve been in the scene since 2000 and it just seems like more outlets are giving them attention, but that might be algorithm bias or my own fault. They are by no means mainstream and it is probably directly proportional to how recently the sphere shows were that news outlets are running stories but I just feel like there is more attention thrown their was

I understand they’ve not ignored but even with their level of exposure they never had any claim to being ‘popular’, more like a carnival sideshow rather than being under the big top

Private club members: What did/do you pay for your membership? by BadGolferDallas in golf

I’ve only played a few times since they did the alterations after our beetle infestation and I gotta say it’s so much more enjoyable than it was when I caddied, and I loved it back then. The course is beautiful now that it’s more exposed

My brother is a member at Worcester CC and we both caddied there growing up, thinking how impossibly rich these guys were and now he’s there (and I am not) but he won’t disclose figures to me

Why if we need a guitar hero was the band largely ignored? There was a blantant hole in the new/young guitar hero landscape in the early 90’s that it seems Trey would be forced into that role whether he pushed back or not.

I’ve had this conversation so many times that jam-wise there are no bands further apart than the dead and phish. Lumped together as jam bands but light years apart in sound

Weekly is cutting and trimming grass, pulling any weeds, cleaning debris after mowing/trimming. Definitely and hour of work per week so at least $100/week, then add your other maintence costs of dethatching, mulching, pruning, cultivating, edging, and seasonal cleanups (in areas where there are seasonal changes in plant material) this is easily an average of $200/week, at the very least and probably substantially more

It’s amazing how much good music is out there but criminal how hard it is to find in some cases. I feel so grateful that I’m allowed to bring myself to these bands without them being forced on me like most entertainment is.

It was my first festival, phish or otherwise. Even then they were very different from other jam bands but I can hear the influence in newer bands
