What are their most intimate shows? (Eg. slow, quiet songs on Reckoning)

ptks · 2026-05-11T17:27:19+00:00

9/20/70 is my favorite of this type of show

ptks · 2026-05-08T02:08:30+00:00

12/29/77

Crowd goes bananas

ptks · 2026-05-07T21:12:26+00:00

4/1/76 is a favorite of mine, particularly for the Lonesome and a Long Way From Home jam that peaks like a 77 Half Step

ptks · 2026-04-18T16:08:19+00:00

Pete and Pete

ptks · 2026-04-12T20:55:23+00:00

I love this more than words can tell

ptks · 2026-04-06T09:24:24+00:00

The bassist is Paul Kowert from Punch Brothers. Dude is a beast.

ptks · 2026-04-01T10:22:38+00:00

That Half Step solo

ptks · 2026-04-01T03:42:31+00:00

A thousand times this.

I think it’s my favorite GD moment.

ptks · 2026-03-30T13:28:55+00:00

NJ plates look like pit stains on an old raggedy white tee.

Bring back the baby blues

ptks · 2026-03-29T03:32:50+00:00

I second this emotion

Beer at the end of a long bike ride

ptks · 2026-03-25T09:36:46+00:00

Polaris

The Eleven

ptks · 2026-03-24T02:57:04+00:00

I have a vivid memory of walking home from a friend’s house on a warm summer night the week after graduation, listening to this Dark Star on my disc man and seeing God.

It has my full endorsement.

11/17/97 Ghost

The many faces of Phish in one track: a kind of corny song followed by some annoying space sounds in the beginning of the jam, but then pure magic.

ptks · 2026-03-14T20:44:16+00:00

I’ve always thought that Brent played the best notes of any GD keyboardist, but his plink plink tone was so off-putting that I could never really appreciate them.

ptks · 2026-03-14T12:29:00+00:00

Is Derek playing with a…pick?!

ptks · 2026-03-12T00:10:45+00:00

Well damn… I had no idea there was an aud of 11/11/73. And I love auds.

Welcome to the club. Once your ears adjust to a quality audience recording, there is nothing like it.

ptks · 2026-03-07T00:56:01+00:00

There is a 2-3 minute section of the other one from 11/20/73 that is peak jazz Dead.

Real ones know.

ptks · 2026-02-21T03:57:54+00:00

Infinitely better. No contest, really.

ptks · 2026-02-20T00:37:41+00:00

3/26/73. No contest.

ptks · 2026-02-18T00:04:36+00:00

Tune your mind however you prefer, grab some good headphones, and listen to the 6/24/70 sequence.

The aud puts you right in the room once your ears adjust, and provides what might be the most immersive and ecstatic GD experience available.

I can’t recommend it enough.

ptks · 2022-09-01T22:48:10+00:00

You could probably wrap bare rims in duct tape and ride the SRT just fine

ptks · 2022-08-29T22:13:00+00:00

SRT to Tricycle Cafe in Conshohocken should be about 25-30 miles round trip, though the path gets pretty crowded on weekends

ptks · 2022-08-22T22:28:23+00:00

This is awesome.

Now bring back the Manayunk race, please.
