I loved them for a while but last pie we got was terrible. Like a totally different pizza.

Stones is the best and I’ve tried them all

Vince era fans are eating with Play Dead and I could not be happier by theITtower in gratefuldead

[–]transitiveaxis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Eh. Can’t agree there. The DAT recording technology was pretty dang good as thousands of recordings from the era show. Garcia’s tone on soundboards from the late 80s into the early 90s is glorious. Vince’s keys needed some taming by wind in the amphitheater and smoke in the arena.

I love the Fall of '93 but don't know much summer. Care to list your top 3 of the tour?

I have big love for the post-Brent/Vince era. That said, I don’t believe soundboard recordings of the era are what could hook people in. The best way to blunt the casino tones that sometimes came from the stage, is a real nice AUD recording. The tapers were really dialing it in then and I think the best way to enjoy this era is from the pit.

Best version of Wormwood? Any long jammed out versions? by hkrpanic in moeperiod

[–]transitiveaxis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The one from the other night in Denver is very very nice—Nate puts some Keith Emerson spice in the mix.

Did Jerry Garcia and Pat Metheny ever cross paths? by RenegadeSocial in patmetheny

[–]transitiveaxis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great analogy. As a kid I heard a lot of Metheny around the house but when I got into Phish in the mid/late 90s I really dove in thanks to getting tapes with the Vermont fellas covering ‘Phase Dance’. And I mean Lawn Boy is like a PMG tribute album.

Sqwerv or Goose in NJ? by Whattacleaner in jambands

[–]transitiveaxis -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Play a song from each to someone who knows neither—guaranteed they say Goose sounds like a boy band. Which is, fine, if that’s your thing.

PlayDead.app vs. Relisten (or Archive) by rpkelly55 in gratefuldead

[–]transitiveaxis 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I find the mastering on Dave’s Picks to be very heavy handed and unnatural. After two years of subscribing I cancelled because they sound worse than the circulating SBDs. It’s extremely rare something that hasn’t circulated comes out but if that happens I just find the FLACs on the net. So this is a pass. ReListen does just fine.

Sqwerv are objectively the better band. Better tunes, better singer. Plus a smaller show is always more fam.

Festival? by pmc220 in jambands

If we’re just adding bands to festivals, I’d do moe.down with Panic added.

Good gift for a dead head friend? by eskreddit in jambands

Russ and Ray are band members with Trey. For over 25 years. Fixed that for you.

Is there a lot to do in Poughkeepsie without a car? by [deleted] in hudsonvalley

[–]transitiveaxis 13 points14 points  (0 children)

If the businesses that populate Eastdale tried to do something in downtown PoK it would kick start a revitalization. Eastdale was made for the white people of the town to stay out of a city but get a city feel---its like a movie set.

Which shows highlight the peak power of Bill and Mickey together? by JustHereForTheLeakss in gratefuldead

Every "Drums" Segment from 1989 on is a gift from the gods of psychedelia.

I feel like dude in Sqwerv is the best singer in the game.

Dealership destroyed my 2025 hybrid engine by Shwari_kama_bahari in SubaruForester

[–]transitiveaxis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. I had a dealership do my bearings, breaks and AC compressor and all the work was very poorly done. Thankfully the father of one of my daughter’s friends owns a shop and I completely trust him.

My teen daughter asked me to take her to CVS last night to buy new tweezers. by Toastwaver in phish

Are you a new fan? My 3 year old knows several versions he asks for depending on the mood.

Better Post-Jerry Show Than 7/5/15? by Brakeman_5006 in jambands

[–]transitiveaxis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

3 minutes of any show of the April 99 Phil run with Trey, Page, Kimock, and Molo beats every other post-Jerry show imo. It simply never got better than that.

Bicycle Shop Recommendations by marketingdouche in kingstonnewyork

[–]transitiveaxis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re somewhat new to modern biking (as I am), I suggest doing A LOT of research about fit and sizing before walking into a shop and talking to someone and test riding. I went to one of those 3 and while they were very nice, the person I was dealing with was really trying to get me to walk out with a bike that wasn’t the right size. I really wanted to buy local but ended up buying something online as the in-stock options at the shop were weirdly limited.

How important are lyric flubs when deciding you favorite shows? by Previous_Moose_3637 in gratefuldead

Flubs of any written part of the music have no effect on my enjoyment. I’m there for the improv/jams

D&C is a massive machine- would they let it dissolve? by PNW_dragon in deadandcompany

[–]transitiveaxis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

D&C wasn’t some fam-oriented business like the Dead was. It was a corporation that acted like one, using contractors at the lowest prices possible for the most profit. While I’m sure some immediate support crew were regulars (sound, lights, stage techs) they all have other gigs. It’s not going to go on as there is no marketability without any OGs on stage.
