was intentional, well, the joke was on those attending. :wink:

the thing about the YEM is that the restart didn't sound much better than the first try.
It'll get better.
+k for you're optimism. 8-)
sweet blog, dude.
And no, not intentional.
man, you know... i don't know. I almost think they did it on purpose, because of the fact that they had to do it the last time they played the song at that venue.
cuz after the intro, EVERYONE is off... very blatantly. but then on the re-try, its all fine...
if it wasn't on purpose, I think that they all must have been thinking about it, and then laughing... or that Trey remembered it, and started laughing so hard that it threw everyone off.
i'm not sure.
Never trust a prankster.

Gordo gives it away.
i just listened to it again loudly, and he's all like plink, plunk, plunk, clank, plunk, plunk.
maybe the most off i've ever heard him.
and then they all kinda just fade out. to me the fade sounds like they were expecting to stop.
do you think Gordo woulda forgot how to play YEM at a show with that much importance?
they prolly practiced that tune just as much if not more than any others.
yeah thats what i'm sayin.... you hear Mike play a note after everyone else has stopped after the "first" intro. and then when they start up the next part, Fish doesn't even start, Page is way off, and Trey is just all sorts of fucked up.
i listened to it like 20 times mad loudly to try and figure out what Trey was saying after he says "were starting this song again"
without seeing the look on theire faces, my guess when I first hear that was it was too much of a coincidence given Jan 03.
of course, I 've been wrong before.
Why would they intentionally do this? My guess is that Trey just had a flashback of 03 and couldnt shake the thought/feeling of when it happened that time. It just got to him and he 'had' to start it over. I just don't really see any good that would come out of them intentionally messing it up...

Why would they intentionally do this?
to make me feel the way it made me feel at the show when it happened.
confused.
"wait, did they really just do that?
did i hear that right?
did they do that on purpose cuz of the last time it happened here?
am i having these thoughts cuz i took WAY to much acid for their first show back?"
knowing phish as i've known them i wouldn't put it past them.
they also know things like that will promote discussions among fans like this.
that all being said, maybe it WASN'T intentional.
:?
they just are getting the groove back ya'll it was minor. they came through!
come summer YEM will be hosalicious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I haven't listened to the YEM again yet. But I listened to a few tracks last night from the first night. Taste :?
The YEM is pretty dirty actually, listened to it in my car en route to work today.
ya its honestly hard to listen to the full thing.....
wait till mid summer :)
I bet they play a monster YEM first night Jones Beach.

I'm surprised people even think this was intentional....
For me, there is no question that they just fucked it up.....it seemed like not all 4 of them were quite ready when Trey started to count it off, and all sort of came in at different times, besides... Trey seemed pretty embarrased when they had to stop and he adressed the crowd
I think he was pretty qiuck to apologize. If it were intentional I think he would have waited a little longer

I think the reason the band was so off was because trey was clearly a half step off...the rest of the band was probably effing confused as to how he was going to mitigate that, and if they should stop. I think that if you think it was "intentional", you're reaching...

In the new issue of RS with the Phish article, elsewhere in the issue in the reviews sections states that the YEM botch was a joke. The second start was pretty weak though.

Sounds to me like Page/Mike fuck up the very start and then Trey fucks up the Gm arp just as Page/Mike get on board... Anyways, I was there, as were a bunch of you, and I don't think it was intentional at all.

I saw a show in 1995 (11/22 crap centre) where they fucked up rift and just abandoned it midstream. Then trey blamed it on Fish!
I agree that the restart sounds worse than the original start on that YEM.

1. They always blame Fish, for everything.
2. That restart is in the proper key and sounds a hell of a lot better.
3. Cool avatar. :-)
Sugarbush 95 Trey gets blamed for the Lizards abortion by Fish who gets in a teleprompter jab. something like that anyway, it's funny stuff.
I though the restart was much better but I'll have to go back and check since so many think otherwise. That is the set I've listened to the least by far.
I blame it on first show jitters.
yeah, its really not all that bad; the main blantancies are Gordo's late note at the end of the intro, Fish comes in late after the intro, and Trey is just not together.
i think maybe that they all just couldnt hear Fish's ride bell hit that starts the post-intro?

So you're saying that Summer/August '04 is NOT one of the greatest tours in recorded history?

I give him 20. He still thinks Phix was as good as he could get.
I think the YEM intro screw up was as intentional as 3/6/09 Phish doanload being 420MB!
you're not implying that the band is aware of what 420 is code for, are you?
Of course not!!!
cool cuz i'm pretty sure that it was designed "by the phans, for the phans".
....but sometimes i wonder if Gordo might know. :?

I just find it funny that Trey has no problem pointing out fishman's mistake, or say, Mike's playing @ Raleigh 03 .... but I can't recall anytime in 2004 where any of the members publicly say anything to Trey when he was obviously screwing up more than any of them
it is funny.
and trey himself said that he doesn't get "in trouble" cuz he's the boss.
well at least he kinda said that when he was talking about none of the band members or crew telling him to slow down or that he had a problem cuz they needed him to keep going so they'd all still have jobs.
same thing, right?

In my humble opinion, they knew he was fucking it all up but either didn't have the heart to bust his balls on stage or were trying to help him privately and he just blew them off.
have to agree with you, Rich.
There's a reason why they took a break in 2000, and it's probably related.
and, in that RS article, Fish said what got him angry was that Trey broke the band up cause if he kept up touring, he would die - then he kept on touring.
we'll never know, but I would be surprised if someone didn't try to help.

Probably true. It wouldn't make much sense to constantly give him shit on stage night after night.
there's no question that people did try to help him.
but i think it was on charlie rose where he said no one wanted to tell him to "stop" because they'd lose their jobs.
I'm a little eager to see what's revealed in this new tell all book that's coming out. Wish I could find the link to when that's due out. We may just find out more dirt than we bargained for. :-o

Phish: The Biography (Hardcover)
by Parke Puterbaugh (Author)
http://www.amazon.com/Phish-Biography-Parke-Puterbaugh/dp/0306814846
Product Description
Phish were one of the most successful touring outfits of all time, with a fan base rivaling that of the Grateful Dead. Their full story has never been told—until now.
In 1995, Parke Puterbaugh was sent by Rolling Stone to write a feature on the band. Spending time with them in their hometown and rehearsal studio, as well as attending some of their most memorable concerts, he became a trusted insider and unofficial in-house writer, producing press releases, interviews, and articles for the band until their breakup in 2004.
Phish is the product of a decade of interviews with all band members, tracing their evolution from prep school to enormous success in the mid-'90s and beyond. Puterbaugh provides unique insight into their music and complicated interpersonal dynamics; examines their controversial later years; and reveals the real role drugs played in their breakup. The result is an intimate and fascinating portrait of one of the most successful live acts in history.
Yeah, that's it. The dirt is going to come out once that's released. Looking forward to reading that.

The band hired Parke Peterbaugh to write the bands explanation of their choice for Haloween '96, Remain in Light by _ Talking Heads. He also wrote the huge 6 page Rolling Stone Article to coincide with Fall Tour '96 and the release of Billy Breathes, if anyone knew the band, their story, or day to day activities, it was that guy.
If I remember correctly, he tailed them for all of Europe '96, and Fall '96. With mad exclusive intimate time.

I'm sure the friends did make comments and talk to Trey about it. I'm also pretty signifigantly sure that Trey, ignored the comments and deflected attention away from his problem. I can not justify any reason to try and place some of the responsibility for Mr. A's personal decisions on those who worked for/with him. Y'know?

The thing with drug addictions is that there isn't much you can do to push someone along that isn't ready to be pushed. I am sure the friends and band mates had more than one sit-down, informal as it may have been with ole Red. Nobody likes seeing someone you love swallowed into a shell of theirself. Hindsights 20/20 and I am sure there are things they would have done differently. Same thing for gar-gar. I'm sure the gd family has lost countless hours of sleep, thinking of what they could have done. I'm just glad to see Trey looking healthy as ever now, however he got there, and with the help of many no doubt.

Those sound like some great friends that the band employed for 10+ years :|
Uhm. What do you expect the employees to do? Give the boss an intervention?
well, i've always heard that a large part of the Phish crew were long-time friends of the band from VT.
I'd hope that some of those friends would have said something
doing an intervention isn't easy and isn't fun (I've tried one), and they don't always work.
people have to want to get better.
Absolutely. If they know they're in deep and know they can't get out without help an intervention may be their one last chance to live. Otherwise they end up in one of two places... prison or 6 feet under.
I'm telling you guys it was absolute fate that Trey got pulled over when he did. Had he not... I guarantee we would not be typing about this stuff right now.
of course we wouldn't.
People don't stop drugs unless they want to. No matter what. And theres plenty of evidence to show the massive power that drugs have over people... i mean... look at Jerry and Trey. It made them not care about royally fucking up in front of thousands and thousands of people who payed lots and lots of money to see the writers and professional performers of music they love.
if thats not a big "fuck you, i don't care" to the fans, then I'm not sure what is...
Plus junkies are notoriously adept at hiding the true extent of their addiction from others.
When Trey said "we're going to do this over and it's not going to be like the last time we did a song over" I thought about the last song at Coventry--the restart of The Curtain With. I'm not sure if the screwup was intentional or not but that was a quick retort on Trey's part. I'm glad they think it won't be like the last time. The 3-6-2009 show sounds pretty hot to me. It got better as it went on.

it is funny.
and trey himself said that he doesn't get "in trouble" cuz he's the boss.
well at least he kinda said that when he was talking about none of the band members or crew telling him to slow down or that he had a problem cuz they needed him to keep going so they'd all still have jobs.
That's not true and you know it.
Quote from: redrum on March 22, 2009, 06:33:03 PM
there's no question that people did try to help him.
but i think it was on charlie rose where he said no one wanted to tell him to "stop" because they'd lose their jobs.
It was either Charlie Rose or a magazine interview. He compared himself to Jerry in that way and said too many people didn't want to lose their job, so what are they going to say?

Just because Trey got pulled over with H in his car everyone assumes he was a total junkie. I wonder just how much he actually did. Doesn't really matter I guess.

Enough to break up the band not once, but twice.
I'm not sure how true that is. I thought that Trey went into rehab for Coke in 2000 but not positive. When they stop playing together it's probably more about how the music is or how the business is than their drug habits. With the Dead for instance, I don't buy it that the guys wanted to play with other people because they couldn't get along. They toured together for 30 years! Makes much more sense that it was about the music not sounded good or them not selling enough tix.

Um, guys, that's Trey right after popping his heroin during 'The Curtain With' at Coventry. No, I'm not lying.
Please see... http://week4paug.net/index.php?topic=11365.0
Interesting. That's sort of how I felt too after crawling through the cornfields on my hands and knees for hours. I was on shrooms though, not H!
I'm not going to post it or link to it because this thread has gone far enough off the tracks, but search youtube for Trey's 2002 Bonnaroo speech if you want to see what a dude on drugs talking in front of 80,000 people sounds like.

It's not denial really it's just that believing that someone you love won't do what you want them to because they have a drug problem or because they don't get along with someone is easier to take than thinking that it's just because they don't want to. I'm glad that Trey and Phish want to again and are back at it. It makes no difference to me what drugs they are or aren't on as long as they play great music. I'm sure they feel the same way.

That picture is damn hilarious! I am going miss that guy, at least for the laughs....
I'm not going to even get into the Trey's drug debate going on, but it's laid out right there in that RS article. Personally, I thought he looked great in Richmond in the fall, and I hoped that would be the Trey we got in Hampton. And we did. And now, I just hope that's the Trey we get all summer. That's all I am hoping for. I don't want him being drawn in as the summer wears on and the pressure starts to build, for everyones sake, but as was stated before, mostly for himself and his family.

Becoming an addict is STupid. It's hard to believe an intelligent person would let that happen unless they wanted to appear more human and decrease the hero worship!
I have friends who are way more intelligent than me that are addicts. Its not about smart/stupid.

WTF?
You're referencing his post and not mine, correct?
Yes. The bolded statement. I agree with yours and am offended by his.

i haven't read this book, but your post made me think of it:
QuoteWhat is the price of brilliance?
Why are so many creative geniuses also ruinously self-destructive? From Caravaggio to Jackson Pollack, from Arthur Rimbaud to Jack Kerouac, from Charlie Parker to Janis Joplin, to Kurt Cobain, and on and on, authors and artists throughout history have binged, pill-popped, injected, or poisoned themselves for their art. Fully illustrated and addictively readable, Genius and Heroin is the indispensable reference to the untidy lives of our greatest artists and thinkers, entertainingly chronicling how the notoriously creative lived and died—whether their ultimate downfalls were the result of opiates, alcohol, pot, absinthe, or the slow-motion suicide of obsession.

The addiction discussion and the YEM discussion go hand in hand because the botched YEM might also be an attempt to seem more human or lower expectations. Not sure though.
Oh, jeebus h christmas on a goddam popsicle stick. The botched opening to YEM was either an actual mistake, or it was a lame joke--to intentionally screw up the tune for an effect other than humor would have been insane. Now please f'ing shut up for a day or two, and start posting in another thread.

I chased the dragon tonight, because my friends were like starting to worship me. And then I started a sentence, but stopped, and re-started it in a different pitch of voice, just to show that I am human. I hope that tones down their fanatical tendencies towards me. I'd hate to have to take these tactics any further. Pretty much sums up my take on addiction.

yes, they already went on sale.
but no, you probably wouldn't have scored even if you knew,
because the tsunami of requests that came pouring in shut down all of the websites that were distributing them.
they couldn't stand the demand!

I didn't think there was actually 17 pages of posts actually talking about the YEM from 3/6. Would have been crazy if there was though. :-P I sorta hoped that was the case. oh well.

***what I really think***
I think it was an intentional joke made as an homage to the YEM restart in '03. no way could they have fucked it up
that bad.
..then they really tried on the second go and it still doesn't sound very on point (to me)
I can understand the theory behind the intentional botch - but the timing / way it was played out just doesn't seem right to me for that to be the case.
Phish wants us to think they suck.
That way we won't be disappointed if they do.
It's all in the master plan.

i'm also starting to think that way again.
Do you guys remember the reaction of people around you when they botched it? I'm actually curious here. Some people around me were laughing, but most of the people were just kind of awkwardly looking around at each other. I was kinda disappointed at first, but then I decided to be supportive and cheer. Don't know, if it was a joke, they definitely got me...

we may have to start a poll to prove your statement true.
This may be somewhat anecdotal, but my Uncle, who was close with the :syf: band and crew told me that for years the Dead would purposefully sabotage themselves...screw up on purpose when they thought their scene was getting too big. The people who couldn't take disappointment left. After Jerry's near-death experience in 1986 they said Heck With it, and went on to record a good popular album. If they did it, then I don't find it too hard to believe that :phish: would!
did Jerry go into that coma just to be cool or what?

That's beautiful--the pic. As far as Jerry goes I heard that he did hide his Burger and Fries underneath a salad in his food bag. It was a sorta wink wink kinda thing.
I guess some people might of thought that was cool--"see he's still doing what he wants even though he appears like he's being healthy!"

He nodded at me and I went up excitedly and asked him if he had a ticket and got one for face. They guy then asked me my name and off I went! Unlike Coventry I wasn't too exhausted to stand. It did take me a few moments at the end to answer the phan who asked me how I enjoyed the show!
