I get how music can help people. they often can relate to the words in a song

But a concert? Explain plz

I had a drug induced epiphany like experience at a phish show that indeed changed my life forever

hey if youre feeling the groove might as well roll with it

i dont think any dancing i do is weird but im not getting really into it like some of the people there

i dont really think anyone at a show is weird...ive seen some strange shit but hey everyones different

i never could really get into metal..most of it is angry music with no substance

love zepplin, love the stones, love the crowes, love the dead and love phish

phish can take your mind to another place

Why do you guys keep saying "life changer"?

Really, how did a concert change your life?

What was different after the concert that was so life changing?

I guess weird was the wrong word for the dancing I saw, it was just different. I was sober tho and probably alone in that regard lol

Also Zeppelin is a huge influence on metal

i say this alot but music is in the eye of the beholder... there isnt one right band, it depends on who you are and what you like? any concert can be a life changer if you love that band. they are just different. and for what its worth, metal has some of the best guitarists around. its just not my personal thing but i respect their talent. so i can easily see how if you love metal you can have a life changing show, as I'm sure some metal shows are better then others. I can appreciate how people would get into metal, just as I can appreciate how people think phish is bad because it obviously isnt there thing. no one is right or wrong just different music/ people...

so short version metal can take you to another place if you are deep into metal. and as I said I'm sure there are decent shows, good shows, and amazing shows for metal, the same as phish has decent shows, good shows, and great shows...

This is one of my fav Trey solo... if you dont like the song skip to the 4min mark...



I love his rocking on stage like a wildman haha the build up to 6:19 is just perfect.

same show this sample in a jar just shreds again dont like the song skip to the 3:10 mark



this one is a classic trey TCOB 4:30

I try not to booze cuz i wish i was a recovering alchy. so i really respect that of ya preston. but yea its hard to fully explain. And many factors can add to this, but usually the show has to be very complete. Phish shows now a days arent like they were in their prime. but they do show moments in every show and sometimes they have complete shows that are unreal...

Also, I have had life changers where I was not on drugs but 100% sober not even drunk... So its not just when your on drugs or drinking this can happen. Its mostly the great show brings you to a level of happiness/ musical appreciation that blows your mind.
this show was also a life changer for me and I was 100% sober



this first set was pretty awesome too

We've got it simple
Cause we've got a band
And we've got cymbals in the band
We've got it simple
Cause we've got a band
And we've got cymbals in the band

What is a band without cymbals?
Ooh ooh cymbals are grand

We've got a saxophone
Cause we've got a band
And we've got a saxophone in the band
We've got a saxophone
Cause we've got a band
And we've got saxophone in the band

What is a band without saxophone
Ooh ooh saxophone is grand

Cymbals and saxophones
Saxophones and cymbals (2x)

We've got Be-bop
Cause we've got a band
And we play Be-bop in the band

We've got skyscraper
And it sings a pretty tune
Every band needs skyscraper too

What is a band without skyscraper
Ooh ooh skyscraper is grand

Sim-Bop & Be-Bophone
Sky-Balls & Sax-Scraper

yea 1-1-11 that show is up there with best of 3.0 shows very nasty, MSG 2011 was ok, but NYE 09 and 10 were hot runs...

1-1-11 MSG

Set 1: My Soul, Tube > Runaway Jim > Foam,Guelah Papyrus >Divided Sky, Round Room > Walk Away > Gotta Jibboo > Reba, Walls of the Cave
Set 2:Crosseyed and Painless > Twist > Simple, Sneakin' Sally Through the Alley > Makisupa Policeman ->David Bowie
Encore: Fee, Frankenstein

cause i got a degree

as of late still think this YEM is my favorite (posted this a few times but watch immed if you havent seen)

edit: if you think its better now then I hate you and your stupid face

edit: love page at 3:00 in vid1, both beat and face

of course I love old school phish! i just am younger my first show was in 99... so i just have to enjoy what is still around. I do agree YEM is the best phish song as far as all instruments and if you've never heard of phish you should listen to YEM studio and decide IMO. trust me i wish i could be older and go back and do phish from old days on but that wasnt in the cards for me. i listened to phish for the first time at age 12 in 1994. and was hooked lawn boy reba was the first song i heard! my first show shouldve been 8-1-98 tho but oh well again, old phish is obv the nuts but i just look to the future and phish is heating up again! future is all we got the past are just memories...



and my first show...



and i wish they had the waste from that night... was one of my favs

about to switch to stoli gold and get this shit going for real - if I am late to work I blame vikings

edit: you better know what that is and what it means without having to look it up

haha almost posted the nugs link, but decided to search youtube first to see if someone had uploaded it finally. Been listening to that free stash for like a decade now. So much good shit in there and not just the phish either.

reba from new years 95 has pretty much been my fav phish jam since I first heard it on there way back in the day.

think thats a great plan - just found another old version, description mentions poop jam which Ive never heard of even

also - god damn I need dope man to stop by but dont have enough cash and too drunk to go to ATM (first world prob?)

looks like rez road and ham bone

also this shit give so much - i want to either smash something or fall in love with it (more like both at the same time) body just wants to jump out of it self



edit: omfg poop, i am like smiling crying and sweating right now listening to this shit, boy man some good shit (pun intended)

stop what you are doing and listen now

edit: lolz at last minute
