2018 Fall Tour

[mbw]

the paug has turned into a bunch of fluffers!  :hereitisyousentimentalbastard

you'll ahve to forgive mea little, i don't get to actually go to shows anymore and get that post show glow where every show was the best ever.
When you only get to listen to it from home for so many years you actually just base your opinion on the music without all the buzz from teh atmosphere, and being completely honest i havent enjoyed alot of how theyve sounded for 3.0, but this tour i'm all in.

HA! Dude, I was just joking. I'm digging all the love for what they're doing. For me that turning point happened with the Bakers Dozen run, and it's been all good since. I'm just glad everyone is having a good time, and we have this place of joy and solace in our little Phish universe in what is an otherwise dark state of affairs in the "real" world currently.  :hereitisyousentimentalbastard

Dude, that is exactly how it felt last night, and I am pretty sure the band held the same feeling.  The "Can you still have fun" line that I have heard a million times took on a whole new meaning and it was just a giant celebration > tweeprise the whole place was going bonkers.  It felt different and special.  I'm special.

Been that way since Ramz left.   :-P

This tour has been very good, but I'd have to disagree with BD being the turning point as summer 18 for the most part was very underwhelming.

They aren't quite at 2015 levels of x-factor, but they are approaching IT. All signs are pointing toward another epic Vegas run.

Completely agree with that. BD is my favorite run, including the 5 shows prior to it, they've put together since coming back in '09. I listen to it pretty much exclusively for 3.0 itches. This Fall is leaps and bounds better than the Summer. It's incredible really, the turn around.

What the hell happened to this place? It used to be the ONE thing we could all agree on was that Phish is fucking terrible and we hate everything they're doing.

Good call, maybe even Time Loves a Hero or On Your Way Down too.

[emay]

Some long encores this tour :rawk:

[VDB]

Lots of first-set jamming nowadays, in response to our many requests.

HAs anyone else thought this tour might have something special having some relation to how the whole Watkins Glenn thing went down?

Not only can i imagine that the band had some deep feelings on the matter and could have put that energy to really kicking ass this tour, but also i was thinking how elaborate the Halloween set was  really could have been a result of alot of time being out into it with probably so much wasted ideas for the Festi not seeing the light of day.

I would even say theres a possibility some of the music/theme from Halloween was originally conceived as a part of the Festi.
Mostly though i just have a feeling the band really wanted to show the fans this tour how invested they still are in the whole thing.

I think I'm with you on that. Which also makes their general silence about the cancellation that much more puzzling/disappointing, but I try to give that minimal thought any more.

Epic Tube ensuing right about now. 

[runawayjimbo]

God damn, a soaring Tube and they stick the landing. That's a guy in full control of his instrument. Great fucking Tube.
