Definitely have avoided them but I can imagine what they entail. The pre-sale starts tomorrow. I think I'm gonna try to grab a ticket. If I can't go I don't see it being too hard to dump for face.

Got my Trey & Nashville symphony ticket. Dead center about 20 rows back in the orchestra. I'm so excited for this show.

Billy Joel played at SunTrust Park last night and I haven't heard any Phish disses so I think the boys are in the clear

I could get down in Atlanta again.


What's the word on MSG tickets? Any drops since onsale? I think I'm gonna go 2nd or 3rd weekend, but I'm hoping to locate 100s/GA most of the nights.

Were people anticipating Billy to be pissed about Phish's mini residency? I would be a little shocked at that. Wonder if we get any Billy covers from Phish while there? Page could rock a mean Piano Man.

I was wondering what he was trying to say there. Thought he was campaigning for a show at SunTrust Park.

I can't imagine his fans care too much about the residency, but you can imagine BJ himself is hitting the bottle hard after hearing about it. Who reigns supreme at MSG??

How was the show recently? I've always wanted to see him, and thinking about going when he comes out here next winter, but worry about his age and ability at this point.

Binged the Analyze Phish podcast over the weekend, have a few thoughts:

1) Harris. I love Harris. I never understood the love fest Phish fans had for him until after burning through this podcast. He seemed like such an incredibly nice and sweet dude. Seems like he would've been a ton of fun to go to shows with.

2) Harris. How incredibly sad. Listening to the Hollywood Bowl episode, he sounded depressed. He didn't sound like himself. And some of Scott's comments like "Oh, it's good to know you weren't dead." geez those were insanely sad to hear. All the stuff about rehab and trying to get his life together. If they only knew a year later.

3) "This jam is good." "So funky."

4) It's really interesting to take a step back as you listen to this and see things from how we all felt before we became fans of the band. I caught myself getting frustrated with Scott's opinion but a lot of times he really was right. Some of the stuff is so outrageous that it really is comical when you take an outside look at it.

5) I was thinking how I would've approached the project and can't say I would've done it exactly like Harris did, but the more I thought about it and after finishing the show there really is an indescribable "it" factor that you just have to get to enjoy the band.

6) This was probably the most enjoyable podcast I've ever listened to. Aside from Phish, it was absolutely hilarious and just incredibly podcasting.

Nah I was just making a joke about how Billy dissed Phish apparently From the snaps I got they played Zanzibar. Always thought Phish would kill that.

I skipped those. I read the descriptions and said there's no way I'm listening to that. Clever concept but nah, not my thing.

Going to TAB on Sunday - anyone know if he's got an opener at all? I suspect not...........?

I think I might have to visit the Greek again if Phish ever goes back. Didn't think I would, but Kuroda on those walls sounds amazing. Especially if they would lose the screens and go back to more simple lights, a la '13-'15. The screens are pretty cool, but watching him paint the backdrop with lights was amazing, imo.

How do yall feel about the screens?

Yeah to an extent I agree. All fanbases have their bad apples, I'd take the worst WSP fan over the worse Phish fan imo. Phish fans are either the best (like us) or just the worst people to be around.

TAB was really fun last night. Was rail'd right in front of the horns - great spot to be. Solid set, great music and Natalie Cressman is a babe

Put in my day off request for the pittsburgh show. Still seems so far away!

Glad I decided to take the full day off though. Gonna hang around oakland, eat lunch and booze a bit, then get in line for when the doors open so I can definitely get a poster.

Had a $25 Amazon gift card burning a hole in my wallet sp I used it towards the Hampton/Winston-Salem box set. Such a great release and three spectacular shows. This Halley's is out of this world.

Play it Leo!

LivePhish just released 5/17/92 the other day, and the crowd sings him Happy Birthday coming out of his Squirming Coil outro.

The Possum from that show is crazy. Like 10 teases. For those that haven't heard it:

Chairman of the Boards!

Googles him to check his age and saw where his daughter plays piano (shocker) apparently? That's pretty cool. These guys are getting old.


Not to be all creepy, but speaking of Phish daughters there was an incredible PT thread about someone finding Trey's oldest on Tinder in Savannah last year or so

Well yeah, so are a lot of the fans. I know I wasn't the only 36 year old with kids in Jacksonville last year. Hell, the first dude I saw at the hotel was pushing mid-50's rocking a Phish shirt.
