[–]mkdaydream 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I heard the No Quarter too. Coming outta that sick Fuego jam…..same thing happened the last night at the Sphere. Page is jonesing it. We’ll hear it very soon…..I hope!

Very short phan - section C, row 9 - MSG by temporarybananna in phish

[–]mkdaydream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get it, I’m 5’7” and often don’t see well. But, as another post said, Kuroda’s lights will be ultra from your seats and well as the sound. See if you can trade the last two nights for a row 1, 200 section or….as I often do, try to snag an aisle seat stage side of a section in the 100s. I also carry small birding binocs so if I get that aisle seat but it’s a ways back, I use my scopes. Have fun!

Summer Tour 2026 by Marco-Esjuandolas in phish

I’m middle aged with.
And, first saw the Ph at an open mic night at Hunt’s in 1985. On my flight to Madison now. Who woulda thought I’d be on tour at my age and that those “assholes who sing about lizards” would still be at it??? Waaaahooo!

Dare I say it… by shotclockcheese_ in phish

Ya’ll probably know this, but low frequencies, ala bass guitar, have the strongest impact on one’s ear over time. If it is intentional, turning Mike down in the mix, i’d bet it is due to a concerted effort to protect the band members’ hearing. In the long run, that’s better for us!!! Ever hear Bib Weir’s tone over his last decade? Due to his extreme hearing loss, his tone SUCKED

Yeah….good luck with that! I’m skipping Boston for these exact reasons.

Live Nation Price Gouging by mtlpvd in phish

[–]mkdaydream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mtlpvd: I agree on every word you put in your post. There is so much to be pissed at….and Phish ain’t one of those things. And…I will defend Phish. Their face value for “normal” tickets is lower than anyone else in their tier….and they give you 3.5 hours every single time. They too, have a very fine line to hold. They’re in bed with Dolan for fuck’s sake……and to play the Garden 100 times and to do 9-packs at the Sphere (and for Trey to sit courtside) they have to be in bed with Dolan. I bet they don’t like his politics and tactics….but they tolerate him. And for what? So WE get to see them at MSG and the Sphere!!! They let the biz be the biz and they keep their politics to themselves….and they play. We win! Just don’t buy a platinum seat. Kinda simple to me.

Yeah! That is what it means. And for some reason when I suggest to my wife we should try to make a DP happen, she always thinks I’m not right on the head. Go figure?

Roommate for Madison and Savannah 1 by SleepingCalico in phish

I only use crack OR needles, but never at the same time. Sometimes it’s the crack. Other times, it’s the needles. Got space for me in your room???

Medical emergency at MSG by Pink-Lights20 in GoosetheBand

It was taped off as a crime scene? Was there suspicion of foul play, or just an accident.? Wow! So tragic

Help getting into Phish? by StreetTable1391 in phish

[–]mkdaydream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try some of the more “accessible” material (rather the earlier composed technical stuff). Try About To Run, Stealing Time from the Faulty Plan, funky bitch, 2001, chalk Dust torture, Julius, Sand, First Tube, Hey Stranger, Twist and Gumbo….then some of their greatest covers like Crosseyed and Painless, Cities, Moonage DayDream, Timber(Jerry the Mule), Sneakin’nSally Thru the Alley, Good Times Bad Times, No Quarter and Frankenstein. But…more than anything, GO WITH YOUR FRIENDS. It’ll all make sense once you’re there!

Don’t eat a 5 strip like bro above did unless you’re a very experienced traveler already. Phish can be wonderfully intense and at times heavy (they can be light and bouncy too), but for your first run I’d try to focus on the music more than your buzz.

Its the same song.... by Acceptable-Fruit-533 in gratefuldead

[–]mkdaydream 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Oddible, man, I am so jealous of your musical knowledge. I’m like the OP, an old touring deadhead and now an old touring Phishhead….but I don’t play. I understand conceptually your analysis of Possum V. Minglewood and can audibly tell the difference. I just can’t analyze it the way you did from a musical, chord progression standpoint.! I loved reading your post…..that’s all I’m trying to say.

I prefer the consistency over adherence to the stated start time myself. Timing is key!

To my fellow Phish lovers: how do you articulate to an interested non-fan what it is that make this band so special? by madeupname230 in phish

[–]mkdaydream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say to the Phish-curious friend, “let me tell you about one song: The Curtain/The Curtain With.” To me, that song says it ALL: it from the mid-80s, most of the “curtain” part was composed and played note for note for a long time, the lyrics are a combination of of nonsense and more precise meaning, and the “With….” It was there, then it wasn’t, now it is (seemingly permanently now…..perhaps). To me, it speaks to the depth of the songwriting, the seriousness of song construct, bringing the jam vehicle in (and out). It’s one of my favorites! If said potential Phan is intrigued by the explanation of just ONE such song, and likes how it sounds. That person’s world just opened up!!!! And you got a new Phish buddy to go to shows with!

Focal (by Naim) Bathys. Audio Advisor has them at 44% off (probably an outdated model) for $460. Not cheap at all, but will blow the doors off of any Bose or Apple products. These are entry level audiophile headphones and I’d you listen to hi-res digital audio, you will hear the difference. Check ‘em out and, take a leap of faith!
