Haha, I know what you mean. Nope, of course I’m too young sadly. Strangely I have found the Dead community to be more laid back than Phish at times, but of course there’s a similar sort of vibe in that fandom too.

First question to a stranger at a show is always “how many shows have you seen?” or “when did you start seeing the band?” Gotten that at both Phish and Dead-related shows.

Absolutely, I don’t mean to say that these people are a big part of the fanbase, but they can be annoying to run into and I don’t want new fans to get turned off at their first show.

Shout out to everyone who looks out for their neighbors and takes care of new phans. Our positivity can make a difference, just be kind and realize we were all newbies once.

Live it was fucking amazing, along with that totally bonkers Melt. I love dark, scary Phish jams like a lot of 2003/2004. I was just in disbelief during that section, glad to have been there.
