Oh, I don't know, maybe stop running the government like it's a god damn reality TV show. "We'll be right back after a quick corruption break...."

For those with LivePhish+… today’s a good day for this one: livephi.sh/43GrAbn Miss You featuring Bob Weir.

If Americans don't rise up together to defend our country like actual textbook definition "patriots," we just gave those thugs permission to murder without consequence.

I come from a time when a flying hot dog really was just a flying hot dog.

Get a little bit louder now. It’s time to SHOUT!

Definitely a distraction from the Epstein files. Tonight. See you there! #phish

They should rename the Kennedy Center the Ryan Adams Center in honor of all the artist cancellations. (I still love you, RyeRye)

ICYMI: "You always end up where you start" We broke down N2 of #YEMSG 2025 with @benjy-eisen.bsky.social Check it out www.youtube.com/watch?v=6WjM...

Tonight @benjy-eisen.bsky.social will be joining us 15 minutes after the encore for our Night 02 #YEMSG Recap Check it out youtube.com/live/6WjMTyK...

Great opening night for Phish. They had to catch their footing here and there, but a lot of great improv and the vibe was all there. Stoked for all that’s to come.

We're looking at it all wrong: we should all THANK Bari Weiss -- for ensuring that this eventually becomes the most watched "60 Minutes" segment of all time. @60minutes.bsky.social

I’m at the dollar store. Anybody need a peace prize?

We talked to @benjy-eisen.bsky.social about this show- great conversation and a killer ‘95 gem! www.podbean.com/ew/pb-kr5n4-...

I listened to 330 genres of music this year. And also a lot of Phish.

Trey should bring this Beacon Jams format to select cities, three nights: Atlanta, Chicago, Denver, San Francisco.

To put it into perspective, “6-7” is kinda like Pee Wee’s “Word of the Day.” But every day. Temporarily.

Haven’t been on here in a bit but I’d be remiss if I didn’t let you all know about this new BSE with @benjy-eisen.bsky.social !! Check it out on YouTube now-> youtu.be/j1W_-IHKbUg?...

Taking a page from the Baker’s Dozen, Bon Jovi is doing “a drunkard’s six-pack” for 9 YEMSG shows. Some repeats. #phish #BonJovi parade.com/news/jon-bon...

“Playing KISS covers, beautiful and stoned.”

I’ll rock ‘n’ roll all night for you, tonight, Ace.

America 2025, where “illegal” is just a pronoun for immigrants. :(

America has turned into a really weird game of Capture the Flag between Republicans vs Democrats. Nobody cares about right or wrong, truth or lies. They just care about their side winning. And that’s a losing game for us all. Remember when the whole country was the team? Team USA?

Getting involved with @mbird.org and the Phish Studies Conference has been one of the highlights of the last few years. Check out my hetty talk from the '24 conference on Phish, Aristotle, German Modernism and, of course, puppets. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5NbZ...

It’s wild to think that we only discovered the Titanic’s wreckage 40 years ago. First, an unsinkable ship. And then an unsinkable country. Both wrecks were once thought unimaginable.

Attention Phish Fans: The 2024 Phish Studies Conference Video Archive is now available on YouTube thanks to The Mockingbird Foundation! (@mbird.org) Watch 19 presentations from more than 50 speakers, including Benjy Eisen's "Gamehendge State Of The Union Address"

WHY SHOULD THE GOVERNOR HAVE ALL THE FUN? TIME TO HAVE SOME FUN OF OUR OWN. TIME FOR EVERYONE TO LAUGH AT THE JOKE OF AN EMPEROR. DON’T BE SCARED. PEOPLE HAVE THE POWER. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.

Ok, Phish, I see what you did w/ Devotion to a Dream and I raise you The Line: low-key shelve under-appreciated songs, bust them out years later during a peak-level tour, and everyone leaves happy. The new becomes old and the old become VINTAGE. Love these 3.0 bust-outs this tour. Love this tour!

1984 just came 50 years late, that’s all. #orwell

33 years ago, Phish played the Mann Music Center for their first time. And they closed that show with Antelope, too. #phish #20yearslater

First, Trey wants a platform to be closer to Mike. Now, Mike wants a vacuum to be closer to Fish. #spiritfamily #phish #waveofhope

CK5 is the Mann!! #phish

The problem with Phish shows like the one last night is there’s always the fear - how are they going to top it tonight? I have no idea… but let’s find out!!

Tonight’s Phish show had that special sauce — Philly whiz!!

I’ll have to relisten when not caught up in the adrenaline of the win, but that Sand may be my favorite jam from the summer so far. Creative and exploratory, four as one, with the 2025 Hose Jam to bring it home. #phish #colorcommentary

Welcome back to the majors, Sand. All dressed up in your Philthydelphia jersey, like the varsity player you are #phish #colorcommentary

#phish: Yo Adrian! Bowies historically hit a little harder in Philadelphia. Add in a clandestine Caspian callback jam and I’ll take it home with me!

Runaway Jim -> Foam. It’s like muscle memory from a time long ago… and nothing at all like riding a bike. But “Bike” would be nice too, while we’re at it. #phish

Phish Geekery: Don't know why this has gone without comment by Phish commentators, but the "Devotion to a Dream" bust-out last night had a nice callback built in - it was last played in the same venue... nine years earlier.

Gluten-free In-N-Out double-double hack - bring your own GF bun from the Trader Joe’s down the street….

Nice save, Piper! #phish

Adding context to Phish since the wee 90’s, @benjy-eisen.bsky.social nails it as usual. He’s got good material to work with ⭕️🔥

Trey sporting his monde greens tonight is somehow good portent. #phish

Everything IS Bigger In Texas: #Phish made sure of that at Austin's Moody Center, laying down an improv-heavy show featuring back-to-back +20-minute jams. Read Benjy Eisen's recap + check out the setlist, The Skinny, videos and more www.jambase.com/article/phis...

Cults these days make me nostalgic for the Flaming Lips.

Cults these days make me nostalgic for the Polyphonic Spree.

Tonight @benjy-eisen.bsky.social is going to stop by LIVE on @wookplus.bsky.social to talk the first 4 of Phish's Summer 2025 Tour Join us youtube.com/live/FbZosv4...

Consistently outplayed by his own allies - because they’re actual politicians while he’s just trying to play one on tv. Maybe his game worked in Atlantic City but it doesn’t on the world stage. Actually… it didn’t in Atlantic City either.

And THAT is why and how you Phish. #N3 #tweezerfest

Like hot dogs at a ballpark, there is just something so god damn American Traditional about Phish opening a show with “Runaway Jim.”
