10/29 - Reading, PA - Santander Arena - Post-Show Discussion and Review

[antelope19]

I can't freaking believe how consistently good this tour is. Bravo Phish.

I'll give credit where credit is due.  They have def. stepped up their game this fall. 

That said, I have def. been a little surprised with the lack of Gamehendge material thus far.   coincidence?  I think not!   :evil:

The lack of Gamehendge material is majorly intriguing, especially I know they were considering it back in August. BAlso, taper420 stream was baller last night. Sounded so sick.

I listened to the SOAMelt on the drive in this morning. Really enjoyed that. Hard to tell whether the fizzle out into Julius was painful or not given the long pause on the Live Phish app.

20 years later got serious
anyone hear the 'i know you rider' sounding jam in 20 YL or it might be in piper.

I remember hearing a distinct Rider peak last night during one of the jams.

overall awesome show.
fun was had.
more when my brain is working properly.

Legit DWD is legit.  WOW!

I'm not hearing the ABB teases that everyone was talking about, but man, this version is beyond solid.  Even the transition/fade to Taste is well executed.  Great version.

Down with Disease > Taste, Twenty Years Later > Piper is real good stuff.
I think the second part of the jam in Disease sounds very akin to an ABB jam.
Driving straight blues stuff.  Definitely hear Rider themes in 20YL.
Piper gets real dark and psychedelic and then, and then...> BDTNL 
Trey seems to always think this is a good choice right as things are getting nasty.
I can't stand this 50 year old man birthday lullaby to his best bud shit any more!  Worst.Song.Ever.
It's the kind of song you put on a mix tape for your mom when you are trying to get her into Phish.

On to YEM.

Yes, as was stated earlier (in the LST I think) BDTNL belongs in the first set, or as a second set opener, not deep into the second set.

But it's our song!

I heard the Rider jam last night as well. Looking forward to hearing Disease through Piper again.

One thing that struck me while watching them jam through some of these tunes is that, they find themselves in a sustain/loop'd jams a lot.
Where theres so much noise going on it almost sounds like they are all trying to play over eachother....sometimes I find it fitting in a jam, but a lot of times I dislike it.
The part of Phish I love from later 95-00 phish is the interplay between band members and which leads to a collective effort to explode to new musical plateaus or in other words they end up "firing on all cylinders" if you will.
Its hard to play in between notes and leave spaces in jams when there is just constant noise being layered underneath what mike (or page, or sometimes even trey) is playing.

[Gumbo72203]

holy living shit, this Disease.......  holy christ!!!!

[VDB]

Lovely bluesy peak in this Disease, and a proper, gentle wind-down into Taste. Bravo!

[justjezmund]

holy fun.  So much was had.  Always good to party with  and dirty.  that is all.

[Gumbo72203]

man I'm pissed I didn't make the trek down last night.  Fuck.  Even Taste was pretty dope.  Just onto 20 Years Later.  Trey just turned his delay on, and Mike is holding solid on his root.... Pay Jorgan screaming!  Yeah Phish!!!!!!!!!!

[Gumbo72203]

LOL @ this YEM.  What the fuck guys, hahaha.  Its so bad its hilarious.  Mike doesn't play the intro, Trey ends the triplet part too soon and starts playing the pre-nivervana riff while everyone else is still doing the triplet climb thing...

lol
