Phish did a Tweezer fest at the opening run in Manchester, and a Reprise fest at the closing run at SPAC. Brilliant.

Thank goodness I can stop playing this maddening game after tonight for a bit. I want to be right because I want to win. But I want to be wrong because not being able to predict what they're gonna play on any given night is part of the allure. Phish #pick5 SPAC N3 Simple Jets Mound YEM Hood

I get everyone wants Phish to play Ozzy Osbourne tonight. But they didn't play Sly Stone or Beach Boys (after Brian Wilson's death) & I would guess they were bigger influences to them. They did play Beach Boys as the post show music in Manchester, so maybe Ozzy or Black Sabbath over the PA tonight?

A total random weeknight show in a random city, where I'm assuming there are plenty of tix still available. Has all the makings to be the "show of the tour". Phish #pick5 Columbus Llama Antelope Drowned Contact Cup

When I lived in Boulder in the late 90s, I worked at the old Bart's CD Cellar. Yup, I'm pretty cool...or at least was...I think... Phish #pick5 Boulder N1 46 Moma Ghost Gin Hood

After Terry Black's, the 2nd best bbq imo is also in Austin. Check out Coopers downtown! Phish #pick5 Austin N2 Gin Maze Ruby Evolve La Grange

Here's a Phish Easter egg for everyone. I thought I posted this before...maybe I did but on the bad place. Anyway, here's the original press letter that accompanied the Lawn Boy release in 1990.

At one point in my life, I remember a girl told me I was hip because I listened to Zero 7. Today I heard it as the background music while I was in CVS.

While I personally feel Bad Company, Billy Idol, and Cyndi Lauper all deserve to be in the Rock Hall, I'd still prefer to see Phish take that top spot. Keep voting everyone! vote.rockhall.com

Grumpa dominating the Phish feeds! Welcome!!

Just another reminder to keep up the fan vote for supporting Phish @phish.com as a nominee in to the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame vote.rockhall.com

On 3/1/99 the Dude Of Life played Tammany Hall Worcester. Jon Fishman was a surprise sit in. After the show my buddy invited the DOL & Fish back to his place & they said yes! At one point, we were seconds away from getting a private vacuum solo when the cops arrived & told us to keep it down. #phish

Los Lobos last night at The Cabot in Beverly MA. And for any Phish fans wondering...no, they did not play Circus. @loslobos.org

Reflecting back to the hiatus when there was no Phish lottery 😔 Good luck today everyone! #ticketstubwed

For those who haven't been, Manchester is like a little slice of Worcester right in the heart of NH. #phish

Winter 2000 maybe? Part of the CK5 crew went to Phish Inc in VT to host a live webchat (remember those?) with Chris & fans. Kevin Shapiro happened to be there that day and he brought us in to his digital archive room and showed us every single show stored on DAT! I think that's Brad Sands in pic #3?

Up before 8a on a Saturday...might as well do my Pick5 Phish Mexico #pick5 n4 Wave Of Hope 2001 Tweezer First Tube Reprise
