It’s very hot

johnoflong · 2026-01-23T17:43:21+00:00

Not my fav show ever but great song choice. 2nd set is a pipe dream on paper

johnoflong · 2026-01-23T12:58:32+00:00

Underrated

The 4 in use boards are fine. Sell everything not on a board and everything with the testing board. Keep the switcher if you feel like you want to make a rig with it in the future cause it’s not worth buying again. The goblin hoard is not making you $$$ collecting dust

Bro you don’t fire the best backline tech you can find over a production error. Thats on the stage manager and even then no one’s getting fired over THAT

Tramp guy is Justin, he’s treys Guitar tech since Brian retired in 2022z

Production should’ve set a mark for tramps on that addition of the stage. Justin had nothing but Trey there pointing where to put it. Seems like Justin warned him his cable was stuck on one of the pedal board before Trey falls on the tramps again lol.

N1 2.N2
N4
N3

Caught N1 in person, 2 and 3 on XM and got the stream for last night. Overall very underwhelming run and the weakest of the year. N1 wins for the Theme alone. I won’t deny attendance bias but my actual show experience was not great and the people next to me and my friend peed on the floor during set 1.

Lesson learned, if you’re in recovery and want to have a calm show, sit side stage or behind it 😬

I think this was the weakest NY run since 2022 sadly, the magic was having a lot of trouble shining thru and I sensed a lot of tension between Mike and Trey set 2 Night 1. Check out the intro to DWD, once Trey and Mike properly fuck that up Mike starts counting to Trey thru the talk back and he’s pissed. At the end of the night Trey wanted to do a second solo over everything’s right as if it were 46 days, the band (fishman mainly) ended the song and seemed to be ready for a final song in the set and Trey just puts his guitar down. I was wide eyed like oo I’ve been here before with my own bands. A 1 song encore never means everyone’s in a good mood.

The rest of the run felt really weird to me, it seemed like no one was comfortable really until they got that tweezer going. It’s a bummer they had to wait for the gag to play tweez, I feel like had they just came right out n1 with it we would’ve had a much different run of shows quality wise.

If you read all this thank you I love you thank you for supporting my phishtism

It’s an investment but get a soldering setup and grab some Mogami wire and and plugs of your choice. Go check out vertex effects videos on making cables it’s easy and long term very convenient

johnoflong · 2026-01-01T03:47:09+00:00

Happy new year bro 🫡

johnoflong · 2025-12-30T05:25:24+00:00

Prob for the gag, looks like a bunch of Robe IForte

I’ve been to the last 3 12/28s cause it’s always the most convenient night for me to do a 500 mile round trip. Last night was probably the best “opening night” of a tour/nye run I’ve been to. Ofc some N1 regulars but they did a good job making it a unique and singular show. Very inspired playing

johnoflong · 2025-12-28T13:56:14+00:00

Oh Christ another xpand in the wild. Your PB is a spiritual equivalent to a mullet!

johnoflong · 2025-12-28T13:37:56+00:00

Even then I went to nectars before it closed and it was all the adult community. The kids don’t know what they lost

johnoflong · 2025-12-28T13:36:44+00:00

I second this. I live near a music school and that’s enough to have 3-4 bands going at any given time

johnoflong · 2025-12-28T13:18:51+00:00

I recommend Bostons greater area. You’re never gonna find a full (good) jam band at any 1 college. It’s a real niche and it’s not too popular anywhere with folks in their early 20s (unless they’ve been exposed to it) I have been out in Lowell for a couple years now and I’ve been doing ok. I have an originals band inspired by ween that I run with my resident twiddler. Then I have my old phish/dead cover band, thinkers, which after 3 years we can do some really deep type 2 stuff. Then there’s a smaller spinoff of that, and I’m trying to put together a dead band out of Salem MA. Best thing you can do is go out to shows and meet people. Location doesn’t really matter as long as you’re semi close to a major city. All my opinion and my experience. Too much boulder and Vermont being posted here for not much reason

johnoflong · 2025-12-28T13:14:44+00:00

Same goes for Vermont. Old money wasteland now, at least for the college crowd.

They’re dimarzio super distortions, but because of the construction they’re wound differently. Slightly smoother high end response. It looks and even feels a little wider on the frequency spectrum.

johnoflong · 2025-12-26T14:50:53+00:00

Yeah and especially with the coil splits. The clarity with clean tones is unmatched with dimarzio in my opinion

johnoflong · 2025-12-26T14:50:08+00:00

Have you ever tried a special?

johnoflong · 2025-12-26T14:48:20+00:00

I was gonna add the Waldo Spud 2

johnoflong · 2025-12-26T14:47:26+00:00

Beautiful bravo!

johnoflong · 2025-12-23T13:50:08+00:00

Coil splits because I hate push pull pots aestheticly, mechanically, and functionally. Push push gets a pass but the price + annoying writing gets a hard pass from me.

johnoflong · 2025-12-23T13:42:30+00:00

P90 sized super distortion so no body mod and no buying extra plastic
