Topic: Furthur

[thatfargone]

I just don't get why you (TFG) even bother posting in a thread about a band you obviously hate so much.  When others rip on Phish, they usually have at least listened to the show and like the band to certain degree (or have hopes they will get better in the future).

I'm not sure why a dissenting opinion about anything related to the Grateful Dead is such a problem. Read my post...a question to sophist and a comment on people leaving the room empty for encore.  If you feel making fun of a crowd for emptying early is hate...toughen up!

Also sophist, send me sbds and I'll listen to every one!

A dissenting opinion would be "I thought the encore from Saturday night was pretty weak, they should of played We Bid You Goodnight,"  see?  That's something we could discuss.  No right or wrong opinion on that.   Writing "lol" isn't dissenting or even discussing it dude.  You know this, I know this.  You want to talk about the music, let's.  Otherwise, it's just a distraction if you have nothing to add.  It's already been established that the Furthur crowd is the worst out there.  I don't think anyone is arguing on their behalf, nor do I expect anyone to speak praises for the people that tour with Furthur.  My issue here is that you're labeling your posts as dissent, when dissent implies that an initial level of satisfaction existed, and we all know that from show one, you've hated on these guys.  Need I pull up your San Francisco posts about them?  I'm not asking you to bend over and take a gang bang from them, I am asking that you listen to the music before you rip on it.  If this was Phish, everyone would expect the same standard, and it's a reasonable one.

Because that's all you ever have and it's a tad tiresome.  But whatever, I'm not offended, I've come to expect it, doesn't mean I understand it.

Please send me boards then! I'd love to hear all the progress you mention, I do. Until then I'll gladly stay out of this thread. But, when phish tour is finally over and I have an actual home again, I will scrutinize every detail and post accordingly.

I used to love the dead and will defend anything 69>73.  I attended what was called the best show of last year...I have tried to listen here and there and simply do not hear any of this excellence mentioned. I'd love to hear some true group improvisation that didn't sound like Phil planned it all out.

So I had zero idea Further was even coming near me until just today.

Anyone in MA trying to make it to Worcester this Friday?

I'm hitting up the shows.  Somehow, my buddy got front center.  Good times will ensue.

Any of you guys know a good place to grab some decent food and some good beers/booze near the venue?  Haven't been down to Woostah in a while, so I forget where the "hot" spots are.  Plus, we are getting down there around 4 to make sure we beat the Friday afternoon shitshow that the Mass Pike always offers...

Y'all need to chill the fuck out. I have talked with TFG in person about this subject multiple times. Dude does not hate the dead.

Also, I don't see how lol'ing at a crowd leaving before the encore is "Trolling"...

Maybe thatfargone is the type of person who you have to spend time with outside of the computer in order to understand his method of using the interwebs/sense of humor...but I can tell you that dude man is not looking for a fight

Funny how defensive people get on here sometimes. It's music people. Chill the fuck out.

I've spoken with Joe about this topic too (several times in person and on fb chat).  I'm not defensive.  All I'm asking is for more than a lol comment.

[phil]

I like the lol comment. It's kind of like poking an antpile with a stick. I fucking love doing that shit.

I saw nothing offensive in his posts at all. Perhaps a playful jab, but a playful jab should be treated as one. I was just kind of surprised to see how rapidly that whole exchange escalated from what I thought was joking around, to ser biz.

Which brings me to my next point:

Don't FUCK with the dead. Bobby will kick your ass. You remember this, thatfargone. Dead is SER BIZ.

Everybody shut the fuck up!

I want to hear about jj's new dance moves!

[sophist]

I'm so dosing the fuck out of your punk ass Hicks.  I'm talking the type of trip where masturbating aliens shooting their alien reproductive juice at you is akin to some sort of cosmic epiphany. 

Phil,  again, Fuck off.

And for the record, I wasn't offended at all.  I get it, he's not a fan of these guys at the moment.  I'm not trying to convert anyone here.  Didn't mean to jump on ya TFG and I think alot of it is a case of interweb mannerisms and how one comes off across a computer screen.

This.

He sent me a rule number one during last night's second set. Here, although I don't know why he was wearing sunglasses inside:
