Trey's tone was so buttery for these shows. 99' was peak tone, IMO.

there is no question these shows were my gateway into the dead. 100%.  In fact, Trey's solos in Sugaree made me seek out other Sugarees to compare... which made me listen to other dead which made me a deadhead. This sugaree with Trey and Page is still my favorite of all time. Buttery is a great word for treys tone. And, I'm gonna go ahead and say page is a better keyboard player than any associated with the dead. Period.

That;s what I started my workday with!

I wasn't there... but 25 years ago tonight was an epic show.

Quote from: shoreline99 on April 09, 2024, 11:26:46 AMDrove up to the Adirondacks yesterday to see the total eclipse, and it was absolutely one of the coolest things I've ever witnessed. Waved at you across the Lake, Kelley

My son is also in IN, Mr. C, and he got to see the full eclipse as well

I may be wrong, but it looked on Instagram like MBW took the family down to Bloomington to watch it. he and your son may have been in proximity.

Awesome! Hope his traffic on the ride home wasn't nearly as bad as ours was

Pretty sure he wasn't at the same eclipse darty, but who knows?       

Yes, drove down to Bloomington with my boys.  It was awesome.
Traffic was fine, only took 9 hours to get home. 

7.5 for us :/

Did you hang w/ Shatner?

Didn't see Bill.

He was in the IU stadium, with Janelle Monae! Gave a spoken word performance before the eclipse.

Actually, I have another theory: they just released the song Evolve from the album Evolve. I could totally see evolution being the theme. Just nerdy enough! 

first 50 win season since i left NY!!
 2nd place baby :O

Quote from: GBL on April 14, 2024, 01:54:03 PMany chatter out there on what the theme may be?

All just guesses at this point. Don't think I've seen any real rumors.

one plausible guess I saw was Four Seasons over four nights... or four eras of Phish. 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 - but that would actually kinda suck, imo.

Well it would suck for people going on Sunday

Quote from: Caravan2001 on April 14, 2024, 12:26:45 AMNice right up Dave, getting pumped for the shows. Couple questions:

1) How was the pat down to get in? Invasive or nah?
2) Were people blazing in the Sphere? I would imagine the U2 crowd probably smokes slightly less weed than a typical Phish crowd, but curious if people were firing up?  You could bring a bong into MGM and the ushers would probably help you light it.

1. not so much a pat-down as a walk through metal detectors. They're concerned with weapons more than anything.
2. There were ushers at the top of sections - zero security once the show started. I can't imagine it any different, but who knows. U2 crowd is very different from Phish crowd and Phish is only the 2nd act ever in this room. I didn't see anyone light up, but definitely smelled it coming from someone near me at a few spots.

Probably be a vape situation
