i used to have a friend who was one of those dead/phish guys who i carpooled to work with. about every 4-5 days he was coming up with some sort of dead/phish tape with the hopes of "converting" me to the cause (still to this day i get sporadic "hey you gotta go to a concert, i'll even buy the ticket man! you gotta experience this!") and like, shit, i'll give you that they can jam. they've got a hell of a bassist.

the one thiing i couldn't stand were those cheeky novelty songs, such as when they covered snoop dog's gin and juice. hearing them take the piss all peppy "WALKING DOWN THE STREET SMOKING INDO" yeah i mean, i found myself wishing death upon whoever was singing cuz it was tripe (i'm sure this brings to mind no less than 5 songs to stand as counterexamples to their covers/lyrics/singing =)

that said, i wanted to ask without any sort of animus or prejudice or prejudging, what is it about the dead/phish (with the latter being considered the superior band in terms of the actual quality of the music/ians) that compels their hardcore fans to want to go out and recruit people into the phish "experience?" i mean, what is it that compels you to provide this phish resource on the CSFMB? i reckon on the surface it's the handful of people who get digitally nudged into peeping their wares, but even deeper than that.... do you feel like they're a movement or a cause that's worth spreading via viral marketing?

again, i mean no harm and no apple carts were upset during the typing of this post.... i'm only trying to understand the mentality/mindset here. merci beaucoup!

This tour has been hot, just like summer. The boys haven't played this well since the late 90's.

My wife and her brother saw Phish play Loaded by VU on Halloween in Vegas in 1998.

Halloween is here, with the first of three shows at Boardwalk Hall, in Atlantic City, NJ. Today and NYE are the two biggest shows in the world of Phish. Starting in 1994, Halloween shows have been three sets, with the first and third being traditional Phish sets. The second, is the musical costume. This is where they play somebody else's album in it's entirety.

Previous musical costumes:

10/31/94 Glen Falls, NY - The Beatles (White Album)
10/31/95 Rosemont, IL - The Who (Quadrophenia)
10/31/96 Atlanta, GA - Talking Heads (Remain in Light)
10/31/98 Las Vegas, NV - Velvet Underground (Loaded)
11/2/98 West Valley, UT - Pink Floyd (Dark Side of the Moon)
10/31/09 Indio, CA - The Rolling Stones (Exile on Main Street)
10/31/10 Atlantic City, NJ - Little Feat (Waiting for Columbus)

The band was dropping hints during one of their webcasts last week, that they might be playing Sports by Huey Lewis and The News. Usually, things like this are a smokescreen. We shall see.

They are playing their own, as of yet unreleased album for the second set. Not sure how I feel about this.
