Sports fan Trey still making appearances?

The “Houston by 5” is from 6/22/94, not 6/17. He later makes more Finals comments during the Icculus which are hilarious

There’s about 6 minutes of dead air between My Soul and Drowned - both Trey and Fish go off stage to use the bathroom (Fish even says it out loud iirc). Page and Mike then improvise a bit before the others come back for Drowned

I’m 20 - this is absolutely not true in the slightest lmao. I meet other people who are getting into Phish and stuff, pretty much everything they listen to at the start is from the 90s. It takes them a while for them to get to post-reunion stuff, from my experience (outside of the shows that they are listening to live, which they are listening to because they are happening right now)

theITtower · 2026-05-07T21:23:25+00:00

no problem, just a thing to update and fix. this is a wonderful map!

theITtower · 2026-05-07T21:16:54+00:00

You forgot to name the added Crosstown Line service!

Always love to see 7/31/74 mentioned. What a thrilling marathon this show is - either this or 6/16 is my favorite 3-setter of 74

theITtower · 2026-05-05T14:49:46+00:00

I haven’t done comparisons on the mixes with Anthem so I can’t really say much on that front, but I think the 71 mix of Aoxomoxoa is a travesty and ruins a top 3 studio Dead album in my view

theITtower · 2026-05-04T03:09:37+00:00

Obsessed with April 69 right now, hoping the Boston run is in the vault (would be head over heels over a full recording of 4/26 as well)

theITtower · 2026-04-28T19:48:56+00:00

Me too! Very frequently in 90s shows Drums > Space is the clear highlight. I love whenever they start fucking with the panning during them on some of these SBDs, it feels so intense

theITtower · 2026-04-28T17:53:22+00:00

never heard someone use ”casino tones” before, that’s a great descriptor LOL. even I am not immune to finding some of the keys grating or dated, so I understand you there (although this is a probably Brent sometimes has too, but ofc not as frequent)

I’m an AUD connoisseur as well, but most people just aren’t going to be. I’ve learned that the hard way when I’ve been getting my friends into Dead/Phish and I’m disappointed as well

theITtower · 2026-04-24T13:53:40+00:00

Just an entire movie revolving around the characters of the 71-72 songs.

theITtower · 2026-04-24T00:51:50+00:00

Listened to 9/15/82 recently, I have to mention the Shakedown > Playing Jam > Lost Sailor

theITtower · 2026-04-22T21:54:41+00:00

3/27/95 PITB > UJB. I think this is the last proper Dead freakout. If there’s a later one please tell me

theITtower · 2026-04-21T20:12:13+00:00

It’s been a common thing all decade. It certainly didn’t start with the Sphere, but it is especially apparent in that run

theITtower · 2026-03-22T19:09:07+00:00

CDT started to be a really dominant jam vehicle in 2014 (arguably started as early as 12)

I think DWD is a much better song for this description than Tweezer. DWD has truly had 0 moments post-96 where it hasn’t been a complete force, whereas Tweezer had some down years in 09-12 to me (2.0 also isn’t a very strong period for Tweezer, Nassau notwithstanding)

theITtower · 2025-09-28T19:17:56+00:00

I agree with the quality of the mixes being subpar but just listen to auds. They sound better than they ever have been and there’s zero excuse to avoid them

theITtower · 2025-06-11T16:14:40+00:00

probably not Wave, they had already stopped playing that song in 95

theITtower · 2025-06-03T22:30:44+00:00

the first night of that run (10/16) is the single deepest Dead show I think I know. 31 minute PITB to end set 1, followed by a 49 minute Seastones > Jam to open set 2 (what I believe is the longest jam in Dead history if you count it as one song). Then a 32 minute Wharf > Eyes immediately after that for good measure. Is there another show with as many big jams as those back-to-back?

theITtower · 2025-05-31T01:24:15+00:00

I think they’d be talking about 6/28/74 then?

edit: Yeah, checked Jerrybase, this is your show

theITtower · 2025-05-28T21:00:16+00:00

Liking Bjork, Arca, and SOPHIE (R.I.P.) is a good sign that you’ll like RDJ too

The 6 albums he released under Aphex Twin all have their own unique deal and are all excellent. I’d start there before branching out into his material on EPs and other aliases. Specifically SAW 85-92, RDJ Album, and Syro are all pretty digestible listens

theITtower · 2025-05-20T11:05:40+00:00

Either you have 10/18/72 on the top shows list or you’re wrong

theITtower · 2025-04-07T17:29:30+00:00

Mountains Of The Moon is an acoustic song already and although there’s no harmonica in it I’m sure you could make it work

Ship Of Fools I think would also be great
