Not happening. No fall.

The Summer Tour will begin at the end of July on the West Coast with two evenings at Les Schwab Amphitheatre in Bend, OR (July 21 & 22). The band will also play two-night stands in Atlanta, GA (July 31 & August 1), East Troy, WI (August 8 & 9), Philadelphia, PA (August 11 & 12) and Columbia, MD (August 15 & 16). For the fifth straight year, Phish will wrap up its summer outing with a trio of Labor Day weekend shows at Dick's Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City, CO (9/4-6). The band will not be touring this fall.
It actually does say no more tours this year dudes.
ah missed that
Not stoked. Blossom is it for me. Hopefully the first webcasted festival... I will camp in the backyard at the cottage and watch on the projector outdoors.
The good hotel near Blossom made me book for 3 nights, let's see what happens if I try and cancel the last 2 now...
shoreline. why'd it have to be shoreline?
i so loved my three night runs ten minutes from my apartment at Bill Graham.
looks like a trip up to Bend is in order.

That sounds like the way to do it!
They should just announce entire tour webcast packages.
Where's my lame tour video announcement?
Two nights in Bend = I'm happy.
Those dudes really love Dicks. Seems so weird to me that they make that haul after the fest.

The whole North East. Clearly they want to pack the Glen. Plus, much bigger profit margin if +60,000 show up at the Glen and they avoid splitting that audience amongst several venues.
When was the last time a summer tour started west and went east? The 90's? I'll be at Watkins Glen. Dead covers this tour too?

1 night at alpine for me.
Looks like the Glen will be it for me. Possibly Merriwether.
I'll probably make it to either KC or Alpine. Hope to see some of you again this summer! :beers:
I'll be hitting the hotlanta shows for sure and probably the Raleigh show as well.
:rawk:
I'll do MPP.
Gonna put in for taper's tix, I think.
Another Phishless summer for me, would have tried for a New England date if there was one.

Hmm. This is looking like a summer where I squeeze in what I can with minimal time off from work.
So, possibly ATL, Raleigh and maybe even MPP1.
Dear Phish,

So the austin 360 amphitheater is pretty cool. It's in the infield of our Formula 1 track. The Dallas venue is indoors. I think it's the only indoor show of the tour. Also the smallest or one of the smallest of the tour. I'm not sure I'll be able to do Dallas since its midweek. We shall see.

The two closest shows to me this tour are Blossom (4hrs 45 min.) and Alpine (4hrs. 30 Min.). So I guess I should just keep my 'Spoiled by 1.0 and 2.0 mouth' shut.

What hotels have people stayed at in the past for Dick's? I'm finally giving up camping...I've camped every year so far but I just can't see that work week going over well if I spent the entire weekend camping.

Every year I've been to Dick's I've stayed at the Doubletree. It's a short cab ride away and the beds are really comfortable.

best western plus rages all weekend long! a few years ago, they were doing free shuttles to and from the shows. not sure if they still are. i'd highly recommend this hotel.
Thanks guys! I'm going to book it this weekend probably and I'll let you know!
Gavin, are you pulling off Dick's and MagnaBall with me?!

More wookie poon for me on the campgrounds
I think I'll be hitting Alpine both nights. Are people still camping at Bong or are there better options?

Last few times I've gone to alpine I've stayed at hotels in lake geneva
Holds are happening and, for the first time ever, I appear to have gotten my full order: Taper's Tix to MPP.
didnt put in for any tickets.
going to try and score a dicks 3 day field next week and some mpp pavs
I put in for Taper Only cos I wanted to tape. Otherwise I'd have skipped the whole thing. I fully expected failure.
put in for austin and dallas. got 2 austin lawns. sweet.
Nothing here yet. I just put in for Denver floors.
Emails are going out.
Got my 2 for alpine valley. 201 GG 84-85.
Got our 2 for Bend. Booya!
Got shut out for both nights at Lakewood. First time I've been shot down through the lottery since fall '09.
Oh well, probably would've been stuck w/ lawns anyway.
The thought of dealing with Ticketbastard :frustrated:
Put in two orders for Bend, got both filled. Pretty stoked I don't have to deal with onsale...don't think tix will be too hard though for those that didn't get.
Put in 10 orders for Bend and 2 were filled, I was losing my shirt earlier as I started the day 2/2 in requests. Looks like I might need some extras Todd if you came up heavy, I gave Jason a shout as well.
Got both nights for Alpine. Lawn night 1, 201 row V for night 2. Can't wait to see some shows again after a hiatus since 8/28/12.
Early in the day it seemed like everyone's Bend requests were going through but in the end only 1/3 of my attempts were filled and I've got the two for each night I need.
w00t! :banana:
ATL1 - lawn
ATL 2- pav, section 204
Tusc - pav section 203
Got both MPP1 and 2 lawns. Will probably only be able to attend one show, so I'll most likely have an extra Saturday lawn. Never miss a Sunday show!
So, who else thinks there will be some tribute to Jerry at the Alpine show on 8/9?
I'd actually like to see them start Dark Star on 8/1 and then finish it on 8/9.
I should never trust the internet on 4/1 but Phish posted this today:
http://phish.com/news/summer-2015-lawn-tickets-available-in-real-time/
Lawn tickets to a number of venues available directly from the band in case you a) don't want to deal with TM/LN/etc. and b) didn't get enough lawns in your Mail Order.

seems like a lot of work for a joke, I clicked all the way to the payment page. Albeit, getting someone to enter all that info and then deny them is pretty funny (if true). I didn't want to go past that in the event it is serious. As I got one lawn ticket, and that's enough for me

I'm not holding my breath for that, but a cover on 8/9 seems much more realistic than in recent years. I would like a dark star set a la the moby dick thing!

In other news these are the shows that tickets will be on the ground for. But you can pay face right here through Phish.
Anyone ever go to the box office at Merriweather. I'm thinking this might be the only way to get decent seats.

I thought they did this last summer too but maybe not.
They did. Low demand shows.

They did do this last summer.
Note: the Saturday MPP show did sell out though (and has the past like 3 years)
don't get stuck outside. watched someone buy lawns for 100 dollars each in 2013
Looks like I'll have to buy my Dick's fields this Saturday as I got shut out. I've had luck scoring fields every year under face the day of the show but I'm not camping this year so I'll have less access to extras.. Also, I've graduated from the collegiate world, and I'm employed, so I feel like it's the right thing to do.

While this answers his question I have a feeling it's not what he was looking for! :laugh:
Well as much as I wish it was still 1992 and I could go to the box office the day before onsale and get my wristband that guarantees me tickets I don't think that'll work.
Think I'm going to hit the MPP box office tomorrow morning between 7-8 and hope for the best.
Pulled 2 in sec26, row D in the Blossom pre-sale...
Pulled two balc for 8/12 and one terrace for 8/11. Gonna try and hit the Mann run this year! Tickets are a start.
Still plenty of MPP lawns available via presale! :crazy:
Got some Sunday Alpine 8/9 middle of the pavilion in my cart... anyone want them?
203 row FF
Gone
^^^
thanks for looking out matt.
i pulled 2 sunday alpine pavilions and the wife pulled 2 saturdays :rockout:
Pulled a Tuscaloosa pit in the onsale. Really easy
Also, new TM system autoloads when the onsale time hits. No need to refresh, and if you do, it kicks back. I figured that out with the mann onsale. Just a FYI. Get to the event screen and let it auto load. You'll be in first.
if anyone wants to help out with bend tickets, they go on sale at 10am pacific through ticket fly.
Pulled a pit ticket for Mann 1, and a terrace for Mann 2.
Lawns for both MPP's. I don't mind the lawn at MPP since I just chill at the pinball area the whole time.
5 minutes until bend tickets go on sale!!!
I'm in line for night1. Is it supposed to be a tough ticket?
None available
says it sold out online in 5 minutes! we got our tickets for each night :rockout: :banana: :rockout: :banana:

Same here plus Raleigh. Pavs all but none great. Eh, will be probably moving around anyway.
Every onsale I get more page errors from TM/LN than the last one. This time I had it error out on me at every stage of the process including after the final checkout button. Ridiculous.
Completely shut out of Dallas.
I got my fields for Dicks

So I lotto'd a balcony for the Dallas show. All the sections are the same price which leads me to believe it's a GA show. Does anybody have any experience with this situation? Wondering if everyone will be able to move freely.

Lawn???!!!?! It's indoors, my friend. Basically a huge theater show.
mmmmmm...air conditioning
damn, i always wanted to go to Starlight and its the closest the boys have come to me in 3.0 by far.
i hope it doesnt sell out.
i was very surprised it wasnt already TBH.
Goes to show you how little they have played the midwest in 3.0 besides Denver and chicago.

So torn between a couple runs this summer...
I took the PTO time and got the flights for Raleigh > Mpp its easy got places to stay at all locations and cheap flight
I can either take 2 more days PTO for Texas run which would be fun new venues, cheap tickets, got places to stay there too, but is mid week
or take those 2 days to do Magnaball which would take a little more planning to get there and more money but its a phish fest
and im def doing dicks so it would be 3 weekends in a row of phish (going to be lots of repeats) or split it up between texas and ral > mpp, dicks
OR alpine is also in the cards havent been there yet and have a ride and place to stay there
decisions, decisions
Emay, do Magnaball. No question. I say that for 2 reasons: 1: phish fest > couple midweek shows 3: I live in Texas, meh

Zimbra and I are driving in from Buffalo. Unless I'm unaware of a fourth passenger, I think we have and extra seat in the rental car. The quickest route from Buffalo basically goes right through Rochester.

You realize that if you ride with GBL you have to bring your running shoes. We are running a 5K every morning.

Ha, RJ. If it wasn't post-show I would definitely run it. My beer drinking throughout the day and show will inhibit my abilities to run though.

well dudes ive actually started running about 1.5 miles a day for the past 2 weeks! so i should be ready to take on this 5k by august! lets do it!
checking into flights for Cleveland pick up not sure if i can take that extra thurs off work but maybe also have a ride from rochester on friday but expensive to fly into that airport.
I am psyched for the three Dick's shows! It has become a father daughter outing and it will be even better because she can drive home! :phish:
Hokker?!
Holy crap.
So what are we thinking will be webcast?
I'm thinking most of the weekend shows...
ATL / Alpine / MPP
Maybe a few weeknight shows like The Mann
MagnaBall would be sweet since ticket sales have been good.
Alpine
the mann
maybe atlanta
dicks
The answer will reveal itself as dates approach. Case in point...

QuoteBummed is what you are... when you strike out on Bend tickets and have to work out of state during those shows anyway. So when a friend let me know Phish was rehearsing in Portland this weekend, I instantly fell into a unshakeable daydream to sneak into the Moda Center for a sonic balm for my disappointment. And somehow the universe made it happen! I practically walked right in, with my son no less! We inconspicuously watched Phish practice for an hour and a half. An incredible experience, to say the least. Without giving away too much, I can't help but report that they are definitely about to unleash some new material (which sounded very strong). And some of their loose jams veered into Dead material. I heard China Cat Flower>IKYR and Estimated Prophet for sure. I don't know what that means, but they could easily go that direction, at least in teases, should it strike their fancy. I can't wait to find out. So excited for Summer Tour 2015!

I'm not going to sleep any time soon, so I may as well try to tune in! Baby's first couch tour!
Just took a spin around the venue. This has to be one of the coolest places to see phish! It's basically a town park with views of mountains and the deschutes river. It's right in town. Like rei, Victoria secret, etc are a 1 minute walk from the venue. There are beer gardens and restaurant patios that have better views of the stage than certain spots inside large sheds.

Blaze On - No.
Shade - Wut.
No Men - I see they've added lyrics to "Generic 3.0 Funk Jam"
How Many People are You - Hope the next time we hear this is on MGB tour.
Heavy Rotation - Stahp.

Hey PG,
I also did most of the summer tour 95, starting at Utah and ending at 6/17 Northern VA.
We caravaned across the US in about 3 or 4 cars.
I remember hanging out with 2 cool dudes from West VA for most of the tour. One of the guys was literally mute, he never talked as far as I know.
I do not recall a mute kid on tour.

Thanks man. From a writer like you that means a lot. Serious. Thanks.
Forgot there was a webcast tonight. Austin is only an hour behind real time? Hmmm. Guess that catch-up sleep will have to wait.
9pm start,
11ish for second set,
12:30am finish?
8pm is the ticket time, so you're looking more like a 930 est start
Honestly, with the sun beating us down today, the later the start the better.

Yeah, but it's a dry heat.
Nice so around 730 here.
Not bad.
Probably gonna hike after work and go up to the barcade to catch the 2nd set which should start I guess around 930 mountain time?
I am hoping for some extended piper intros this tour :roll:

Texas is a much more dry and manageable heat. In our humid heat it feels like you're drowning in the hot air you're breathing.

That was deathly hot.
It was prob almost 110 degrees in that amphitheater
Here's a first. Side door to the venue off the main parking lot is open. They are allowing you to use the air conditioned venue bathrooms before the doors are officially open.

When it comes to appreciating music, it's all about teh feelz. Oh yeah, and if you weren't at the show, you have no business commenting on it. You just don't get IT, brah.
This whole post reads like a really long subtweet at Aug.
Protip: if you let someone else's opinion of your experience change how you feel about it, you're doing it wrong.

Stealing Time
I’ve never heard Phish play the way they are playing right now. Glimpses yes, the odd show here and there. Sometimes a run. But this? No. This is something else entirely. This is the tour we’ve been waiting for. Hands down. The stars are all aligned. Full shows. Set to Set. Intention, communication, energy and drive. Confidence and strength tempered by maturity and professionalism. Here is what matters: This band is on fire. See as much Phish as possible. That’s the only rule right now. Cause it has begun. It is SO fucking on.
I may never seen the likes of this but I know many fans have, way back when. It mattered then but now has become something else entirely, a corruption, a veil that obscures our view of the present and our appreciation of the now.
We can spend all the time we want determining why Phish is so exciting right now, or how, or in what fashion, but our chances of understanding, as always are slim. We do the best we can and say, it was Trey practicing for Fare Thee Well. Or that Mike’s cross-country tour similarly fired him up. Or that Page and Fish have reached new levels of comfort and grace with their lives and families, their positions.
Maybe it was Wingsuit or the JEMP set, maybe it was some private conversation between the four of them. Maybe it’s just experience and luck. Or maybe its just that Phish as a band has resigned themselves to the fact that this band and their music is the greatest thing they’ll ever be involved with, and have therefore determined to make the most of it every single year that they can. . Maybe it is an agglomeration of all of these things and a thousand other factors. We are different year over year. Our creativity and passion ebbs and flows, along with our healthy and emotional wellbeing. Life happens man.
Either way, this is their legacy and now, with hindsight and tragedy receding they have a unique opportunity to write their own history, on their own terms, in their own books. Maybe it’s to help the future cause of rock and roll. Fare Thee Well taught us much about legacies and histories and the power of community and how central our music is to all of it. How crucial the Grateful Dead were to rock and roll, how their career arc matched rock’s step for step, if not exactly following the same path. I am sure Trey was there with his eyes and ears wide open, and not just on stage. Maybe Phish sees an opening to one-up even the Dead by getting better and staving off stangation. Maybe its what we fans bring to the shows that inspires them just as they inspire us.
What we are privy too — the music — is all that matters, night after night. And right now this is the best I’ve ever heard Phish play. It’s the new songs and setlist freshness. It’s the tightness of the material young and old. It’s the listening and the improvisation. It’s the new effects and the old ones, its the cities or the towns, it’s the water or the heat or the bagels. Who knows, who CARES, just go see Phish.
I rolled into Dallas on a whim, booking a short multi-city run during the Forum “YEM.” My flight was confirmed before Trey yelled BOY! That show was huge, perhaps not as elegant and unified as Shoreline but then again, who cares about comparing shows or ranking jams? I was there and saw Trey singlehandedly gunning for the stars, not something I am overall used to seeing. But that might be changing. For the record I also watched Trey become increasingly frustrated on stage towards the end of the Dallas show, facing real problems in the composed section of “Hood,” as well as “The Connection” and “First Tube,” encore. He ran off stage as fast he could once “First Tube” ended, clearly happy to be done playing music for the evening. Didn’t matter though because the seamlessness of “Steam” in the first set, and the grandiosity of “Chalkdust” carried through.
This is art and not fantasy. Want to rank? Fine, just don’t think you are doing anything other than blogging without the words, feeling or emotion. The tendency of fans to immediately start thinking in terms of rank and order and classification is one of the most obscene aspects of our community, starting even before shows end. Or even jams. I understand the compulsion but the affect is toxic. Some compulsions should be restrained. Quite simply, it takes people out of the FEELING and back into the thinking. This is wrong. It’s foolhardy and tedious and robs people of their experience.
When I leave shows now, all I care about is capturing the feeling of it. Do I have it? Do I own it? Did I get what I came for? The truth is that if your head is in the right place, you ALWAYS get what you come for, even if its different than what you wanted or expected.
Right now I feel full. Full enough not to care one fig that I am heading back home for 10 days, capturing what work I can before heading back East for the MPP > Magna run. My first night at Dicks was 4 years ago, and my face got fucked so hard that I decided to dedicate large portions of my life, love, energy and treasure to integrating with this band. Heck, I moved to Colorado because of Phish. That’s an investment still paying huge dividends for me.
I’ll tell you what though, the way I felt leaving both Dallas and Atlanta each night, same fucking thing. Different in texture, but alike in power. Same as 8/31/12. Same as Tahoe or Hampton. I felt full. I felt revelatory. I felt spiritual and in love and happy and enthusiastic. Were these shows as “good” or “great” as FYF? Don’t know, don’t care. But they felt exactly the same. It’s the same feeling. Three shows in a row. Yep! The rivers of cynicism dry up rather quickly on Phish Tour.
Ranking shows takes this feeling and obscures it, tries to codify and assign. It’s fabricated, arbitrary and false. It’s a giant lie.
The real reason people still rank is to assert their power. Once things are ranked, there is order and once order is established you can slice and dice and mix and match. Somone has to write the list. Someone has to create the divisions. Then, you can tell people they were at a “bad show” or saw a “subpar” jam. This is the most offensive and heinous thing occurrence, fans telling other fans that their show was not as great as they felt it was. Makes them doubt themselves. Once it is done, once the tweets and qualifications start spreading, it is too late. I’ve had it happen to me in the past. It’s theft plain and simple.
Webcasts, Streams and live show downloads are excellent substitutes but we should never fool ourselves that they stand in for the real experience. Every stream buffer or break, every skipped song in a car ride obscures the show, obscure the nature of the energy inherent to that show. Practiced ears still can never place the feeling of a room, a section, a city, a town, a lot, a concession line. If you aren’t in the room, your opinion means about as much as a burlap sack full of moldy potatoes. I don’t care how many shows you’ve seen or years you’ve been with the band.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, the instant Phish plays a classic show, those not in attendance dutifully get to work cutting the show down. It’s natural of course; they weren’t there and you better believe they are going to envy those that were. Notice that the people who spend most of their time ranking are older fans NOT in attendance, desperate to assert their control — their own rank — over the community. They long ago gave up on the band.
This is the year to fight back and stand athwart this tendency yelling — or politely whispering — STFU.
After Friday night, a friend, @SuzyDrano, tweeted “Having a hard time objectively evaluating that show.” I did an instant double take.
Why would someone want to objectively evaluate a show like Friday night in Atlanta within minutes of the show ending? The mere fact that Suzy was having a hard time evaluating the show was because it was SO GOOD. Because the feeling that she (was trying to forget) was overwhelming her, filling her up. And yet Suzy was on her way to robbing herself of her own subjective experience in order to list and classify. Something she felt a duty to do even without her WANTING to.
It was one of the best Phish show’s I’ve ever been to, and doubtless many other fans who either attended, watched, listened, or have since heard the show, possibly feel the same way. Suzy’s tweet, and I assure you I am not picking on her as I’ve seen this same thing occur a thousand times, reveals a pathology very much alive in our community. The need to have the feeling that is produced for us by this band confirmed by others. We want to know that we belong, that what we just felt was also felt by others and through that connection we are made even more human, more brotherly or sisterly, more transparent to the people who love what we love.
But instead, we too often find exclusionary behavior. We find ranking and classification by people who can only compare, but refuse to feel. It’s a shame. But there is an antidote to this poison. Tune the motherfuckers out. With every tweet and aside they reveal themselves as bankrupt and pedantic. It has no place in Phish, especially now, as we are right in the middle of what will likely be one of the best Phish tours of all time. [jimbo: that's right, not of 3.0, not post-hiatus, of ALL TIME] That is how great this band sounds right now. Don’t let anyone rob you of this Summer, most especially your own self.
SMH
Also, that dude probably has good drugs.
Didn't consider reading that but I appreciate the shout out.
I feel like someone does this every tour.
"they are at the peak"
"best tour of 3.0"
I think the shows so far have shown promise that they are indeed playing better than they have been within the first 8 shows of tour. But as the steam builds, and the tour ends all this will go to nothing since they will not be touring anymore this year and just have 4 shows around NYE and then probably another 6-7 month break.
Sets I would go back and re listen to so far this summer:
7/22 set 2
7/24 set 2
7/31 set 2
8/1 set 2
Not saying these sets are the best of 3.0 or anything but they are listenable, which is actually a good bit I think compared to last tours.
Haven't listened to 8/2 at all yet, but they are keeping things fresh with the new material and jamz and even bringing back the gimmicks with the rotation jams and what not seems like it would be fun to be on this tour so far.
I don't think I have to point out the humor of him going back and forth between saying how ludicrous it is to rank and compare Phish and saying how Phish has never sounded better and this could be their best tour.
(But I pointed it out anyway.)
I like the bit about allowing yourself to remain subjective about your experiences.
Removing yourself from your own experiences sucks.
I don't know about a lot of the shit that guys says. As Matt pointed out, I'm guessing the drugs haven't worn off, and he's got really good shit too. I think they are playing well, and this is a more consistent and better sounding tour than they have had in years. I haven't heard anything that quantifies or qualifies as a best of in terms of versions. At the same time, I guess I don't really think you need that rationalization because of the consistency. I think a lot of that before was out there to justify the vast amount of really badly played shows, which if we are honest, is close to a super majority of what they did 2009 through a lot of 2014. I think '14 had more consistency, but at the same time is still on that same level as the rest of the era. I do think its great I can actually put on these tapes from summer '15, and it sounds good enough that I will actually re-listen to shows from this tour. That makes me happy.
I'm on Tuscaloosa right now, and I couldn't be happier through the Atlanta run with how they played. Sure flubs are prevalent in some songs, but its not nearly like it was before. I think, and as one of the biggest "haters" on this board, they have fucking finally turned a corner for the better. And I think there isn't a going back. I figure the NYE run will sound like the start of this tour, some rust, and some highlights. I figure next summer will be the same, some time to shake off some rust, and if they do a fall tour, I'd make plans to hit that hard (if you can - good odds my ass will be house and wedding broke).
When August tell me that 6/25/00 sucks that doesn't ruin my experience of that show.
One of the awesome things about being a Phish fan or Deadhead is having your rankings and discussing them with other people. I don't think the GuyUtica show sucked because I wasn't there, I think it sucked because it's a slopfest with lots of energy. I don't think 12/6/97 is an amazing show because I was there, I think it's amazing because when you play it back it sucks you in and makes you want to listen to more.
I can't help but play this card here so forgive me, but to put things in perspective, he's been seeing shows for 3 years... so the author is missing the comparative perspective of 17+ years of shows to me (way more to some others), good and bad, highs and lows.
Still won't read that garb, but I don't understand why people are still defending their good time at shows.
It's a concert and you're probably gonna have fun.

because in a lot of peoples' lives this is the only thing going for them....
Nothing new, pass.
I have loads of friends who thought Phish was a bunch of noodling nerds back in 96-97 so I'm not gonna sweat some hate in 2015. I don't need anyone to tell me what I should or shouldn't enjoy.

When August tell me that 6/25/00 sucks that doesn't ruin my experience of that show.

Dude was getting pretty defensive on Twitter the other day too. Saying things like "Some people have a vested interest in not letting any show be better than the 90s" or some BS.
The sensitivity of people who never saw Phish before 2009 towards those who have is pretty hilarious to me. I get it, it's never fun to have old people telling you things were so much better back in their day. But to bitch about how they are depriving - stealing was his word, I think - you of your own experiences is just fucking sad.
So evaluating the musical content of a Phish show outside the context of the concert is "obscene" "heinous" and "offensive"?
I think we may have found a new benchmark for an entitled brat whining about first world problems.
Look, I like feeling "the vibe" at a show as much as the next w00k, seriously I do, but I love music too and one way for me to express that is to listen at home and objectively analyze it, or at least attempt to do so. There's nothing wrong with that and in fact not only is the intellectual component of the Phish community one of things that makes it unique, but attempting to sort out the nuts and bolts of the mystical is a tradition that goes back thousands of years to rabbinical commentary and similar deconstructions of sacred texts. I for one am proud to carry on that tradition as it applies to my own interests and experiences.

Pretty similar for me.
I think I give Atlanta1 an edge because the first set in Nashville was useless while Lakewood had that Ghost and tight (albeit straightforward) Mike's Groove. I also like How Many People Are You? and any first set in the summer with a Moma Dance is alright with me. Set II goes to Nashville but it's pretty goddamned close. Shoreline comfortably in the #3 slot (still haven't heard that first set; not sure that I plan to).

Notes: Mockingbird featured narration about Trey walking around Alpine Valley and having a bird shit on him, inspiring him to play the song that night. He also acknowledged that this was the band's 17th show at Alpine, and that the following day would be the 19th anniversary of their first appearance (8/10/1996).

good thing they spent so much time looking for drugs instead of patrolling the traffic and roadways to keep everyone safe...
QuoteOn Monday, August 10th, 2015, at approximately 1:07 AM., Walworth County Sheriff's Deputies responded to a car vs. pedestrian crash on Hwy 120 just south of Hwy D, in Spring Prairie Township, Walworth County, Wisconsin.
Upon arrival deputies discovered 38 year old Chad Kneesel, from West Salem, WI, lying in the roadway unresponsive. Lifesaving efforts were administered by deputies and responding medical units. Kneesel was transported by ambulance to a local trauma center. Kneesel died a short time later.
Initial investigation indicates that a 2011 Mazda, driven by Dipen Patel from Lake Geneva, WI, was southbound on Hwy 120 and struck Kneesel who was walking in the roadway. Patel was arrested for Operating a Motor Vehicle while Intoxicated. Evidence found at the scene indicates that Kneesel had walked away from Alpine Valley Music Theater after attending the Phish concert. Patel was not coming from the concert.
The Walworth County Sheriff's Office crash investigation unit continues to investigate. The Walworth County Sheriff's Office was assisted by East Troy and Mukwonago Emergency Medical Services as well as the Walworth County Medical Examiner's Office.

That was some serious music-nerding out on Phish. He actually did a pretty good job of explaining things w/o getting too confusing.
Not sure about the GD comment at the end though. I'd imagine some Dark Stars and Playin' in the Bands modulate all over the place. Never really analyzed it though.
That's the phishmaps guy FYI
