The Gorge would be a pretty incredible first show back. Been meaning to visit my buddy in Seattle.
I've got a six-man tent and a portable grill. You bring the sunscreen, we'll make this happen.
The gorge is a known bucket list item with the wife; honestly probably an easier sell than Piedmont. Ill bring a shiz ton of Kraft singles. American AND "pepper jack"

We find someone with some white bread and garlic salt and baby we’re in business.

Man I had tickets to see Oysterhead and wanted to do one or two nights of the Indy run. Hope Oysterhead has some shows whenever concerts are able to happen again.

Tweezer included an I Know You Rider tease, a Silent in the Morning tease from Mike, and a Fire (Ohio Players) tease from Trey. My Sweet One was botched, which led to band introductions from Trey and extended solos from Fish, Mike, and Page. Trey explained that My Sweet One and Dog Faced Boy were both written about the same person by Fish and that one was at the beginning of the relationship and the other at the end, finally asking the crowd "can you guess which?" Mike "bantered" a bit and showed off his fight bell. During the banter after My Sweet One, Page teased "Charge!" twice.

My first shows, twenty years ago today! I was 18 years old and had just graduated high school. I've probably told this story a hundred times, but around this time in my life I was just starting to get into Phish and trance music. The weekend before my first Phish shows I went to my first "rave". It was at a water park in bumfuck Alabama and it was a hot mess. The Phish shows were way more fun and significantly more impactful/emotional. And not saying the Phish shows were a clean time for the whole family, but it was a hell of a lot more wholesome than a water park with pale sketchy people stumbling around puking into bushes.
I kind of picked my scene that summer and went with it for the next few years. I never completely abandoned electronic music but it was in the background for a while, wasn't until a few years ago that I discovered techno and fell in love with an entire "underground" dance music scene I was completely unaware of. Happy to be a part of both cultures now, although I think I'll always feel a little bit more like a tourist at a dance show.
As far as the Phish shows themselves, they are objectively good shows. I haven't heard "Contact" or "Jesus Just Left Chicago" since that first show. I probably recognized like 40% of the songs? I wasn't aware of what was a jam and what was a new song a lot of the times. 4 song encore night two was incredible. I didn't know Tweezer reprise was a thing and was just excited they were "playing Tweezer again".

New Trey album tomorrow!
Lonely Trip was conceived and recorded in isolation at my home studio (aka Rubber Jungle) during the peak of New York City’s COVID-19 crisis, March - July, 2020. When the lockdown began, I had by chance just completed a weekend songwriting session with my friends and longtime collaborators Tom Marshall and Scott Herman. That session took place March 13th and 14th just as the crisis was beginning in New York, so the themes of fear and isolation were already finding their way into those first songs. By the time I arrived home, the situation in NYC had gotten much worse.
Knowing I wasn’t going to be leaving my apartment for a while, I started working. It felt therapeutic to write. I wanted to connect with our community in some way. The unplanned nature of the recording meant I didn’t have a lot of gear during this process. I had an electric and an acoustic guitar, a small amp, two microphones, some percussion, and two keyboards, including an old Kurzweil with very realistic drum sounds on it. Everything was recorded through a Spire 8-track. Lonely Trip is truly a raw, low-fi recording.
The process of writing songs became a reflective and healing experience. Being able to share these songs instantly with our community via Instagram felt equally profound. It harkened back to my youth, before there was a Phish, when I would write songs and home-record them specifically with the intention of sharing them with my circle of friends via cassette four-track recordings.
As the weeks went by, I worked on improving my recording techniques. I called recording engineers including Ben Collette and Vance Powell to get tips on microphone placement, and I purchased a bass guitar online. I also started tapping into a Dropbox folder with about 30 four-minute drum sequences that I had recorded with Jon Fishman over the last year.
For the previous few Phish albums (including Kasvot Vaxt and Sigma Oasis), I had been experimenting with writing songs, starting with drum beats that I had sung into my phone. Fish and I would go into the studio and record the beats exactly as I had sung them, with Fish launching off in his unique way after a minute or two. I used these beats as building blocks to many of the songs on Lonely Trip, and it explains how I could do a whole album in Rubber Jungle with such good sounding drums. Thank you Fish!
The album was ultimately mixed by my friend Bryce Goggin, and as always, Bryce’s mixes sound incredible. Thank you Bryce!
Lonely Trip was my message in a bottle during this time, and I wish I knew how to properly thank all of you in our community for listening and responding. It meant so much to me. Thank you. Wishing all of you much love and safety during this turbulent time.
This album is dedicated to the heroism of our healthcare and essential workers.
-- Trey
Lonely Trip will be available tomorrow, July 31, on digital platforms: linktr.ee/TreyAnastasio

Also, The Beacon shows the last few weeks have just been great. The Rescue Squad String Section with TAB is so, so lovely. It's a really nice thing to look forward to.
ALSO ... this Halloween is going to rule.
Just when you thought it was safe to go back to the kitchen, Dinner And A Movie returns with a vengeance (and dripping in blood) on Halloween night! Instead of one full show, we’ll present a triple feature of Phish’s Halloween costume sets over the years. Join us next Saturday, October 31 at 8:30PM ET at webcast.livephish.com. First up is Chilling, Thrilling Sounds of the Haunted House, from 2014 in Las Vegas. Then we’ll go back to 1996, to The Omni in Atlanta for Talking Heads’ Remain in Light, before finishing off the evening back in Vegas as Phish performs Kasvot Växt’s groundbreaking í rokk from 2018.

The Beacon shows really have been excellent. I don't want to get too greedy but hard not to at least think its possible that Phish could play and stream a New Year's Run in the same manner. No reason to think it will happen but it sure would be great if it did, everything else they have done throughout the pandemic has been fantastic.
the baker's one. may just be that the rec quality is really good, but trey just shreds it.
idk something really simple about the lyrics that work for me. easy going riff, nice groove underneath.
This one, right? I'm not super into Phish, first time I'm hearing this song, and it's alright. I never really liked their slower stuff much, gimme shit like First Tube all day.
lol I can't get Alexa to play it because I don't know how to pronounce it
ROW GAY
tried;
ROW GAY ROW GAE (a little more flair) RAW GAY/E (thinking maybe it's the first syllable I'm messing up) ROW/AW GA (maybe it was the 2nd syllable after all) ROCK GAE (after seeing someone point out its Rock + Reggae)
but it was like 80% I can't find "Rockabye Fish", 10% I can't find what you're looking for, and 10% Ravi Shankar.
eventually gave up and watched the '11 Gorge version on Vimeo.

just want to rave about the intro to the "Bittersweet Motel" documentary a little bit.
It's a testament to this documentary not being directed by a fan. A fan would go straight to wanting the opening song to be a heavy hitter like "Tweezer" or "Chalkdust" or something wild and raucous like that. Instead Todd Phillips made the unusual choice of the beautiful and intensely sad ode to loneliness "Brian and Robert".
The start with Fishman and Trey rehearsing the vocal part back stage in preparation for that nights performance highlights a few things about Phish: their comfortable nervousness with performing a song they rarely play live with just a few minutes of reminder prep backstage, and Trey's obvious position as the band leader, with his reassurance to Fish that he can hit the note tonight.
Then the transition into the live version, with the audio from "Brian and Robert" playing over video of Phish playing a much more rocking song provides a stark contrast to the highs and lows of live music. Then the three quick pyrotechnic explosions jolt you out of the fog a little, as the song continues to play over additional video, not of fans going wild or crazy partying or any of the frivolity of the live show, but of the tedium of the hours between the shows: images of back roads, interstates, walking down hallways of hotels, leaving a store to get on the bus, band members staring out the windows and rubbing tired eyes, putting on a smile for fans who want to talk to them on the street, Trey's not-so-obvious annoyance at a fan who is kind of in his face a bit backstage, Page staring at a chess board, then all the band members taking shots, not in a sad way, but not in a joyful way either, just kind of a thing they have to do before a show to get ready, like an athlete stretching before a game.
The strange ennui of this intro, coupled with quiet intensity of the song, always makes me emotional.
Listened to the 2014 costume with the haunted house sound effects for the first time tonight. Such an innovative and cool concept, love these dudes
so it might not be true, but the mythos of this show is the idea was born from when Trey ran into some fans and they gave him shit for Phish's last Halloween show, which wasn't a cover album but was just Phish playing the then unreleased album "Fuego" (thought to be called "Wingsuit" at the time). so Trey decided to cover the most bonkers album that he could, a halloween sound effects record.
this mythos might have some truth, since they they encored that show with "Is This What You Wanted".

Love this. Reminds me of the story when there was rampant speculation they were gonna cover a full Zeppelin album, then they looped about 30 seconds of Whole Lotta Love into a first-set jam followed by the song "Ha Ha Ha"
