JohnnyBlaze Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Nearest gig is over 8000 km from me. Saw them a few times in the 1990s. Fun, funny, stinky patchouli, grilled cheese, and other stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bathory Posted February 20, 2020 Author Share Posted February 20, 2020 I made this thread as a joke but I was surprised by how prog rock their early shit is. I still don't really like the grateful dead, nor do I get the comparisons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still don't really like the grateful dead, nor do I get the comparisons They’ve only got two things similar with the Dead: 1) extended jams though the jams are dissimilar and 2) the crowd’s odor which includes human and plant based scents. They can play especially Trey. Stew Copeland and Les Claypool wouldn’t have collaborated with him through Oysterhead if he were a simple, jam hack noodler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bathory Posted February 21, 2020 Author Share Posted February 21, 2020 I saw them with some "headier" friends last year in charlotte and had a great time but the setlist itself was disappointing. 20 minute jim though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue J Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 I saw them in the ‘90s because I liked how they played- Rift, Junta, Picture of Nectar...great records. Billy Breathes is also great. Hoist, not so much. Anyway...during the live set, they jumped up and down on trampolines while playing, and there was a vacuum cleaner solo...just totally weird, unnecessary stuff that had nothing to do with the music- which if you just take it by itself, was really good. I love Trey’s solo albums, too. I have no idea what they sound like these days, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
custom55 Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 (edited) I see Phish as much as possible. MSG NYE shows 2019. Atlantic City shows this summer and The Trey Anastasio Band in Asbury Park in May. Love the looooooooooong spacey jams. Most of them are good but some are bad. This is THE BEST version of Sand. 3am 1/1/2000 Spend 22 mins and watch/listen to this. http://youtu.be/BayAIRqFsHY Edited February 21, 2020 by custom55 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was burned TAO, which prevented me from enjoying listening to it very much. But it is just an unbelievable show. It’s seven discs long. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bathory Posted February 21, 2020 Author Share Posted February 21, 2020 as far as live stuff its all about 93-97 for me but 98-03 has tons of great stuff obviously. 03 gets a lot of shit since trey was on dope but there's tons of dark, out there jamming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, that’s a great tune! I really don’t even think about the vocals though, it’s all just about the groove, for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bathory Posted February 21, 2020 Author Share Posted February 21, 2020 and while YEM wasnt necessarily a featured tune in 97 I think the song definitely got a benefit from gordo's new bass 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
