Chocolate Sundae. Marshmallow Overcoat. Richard Manuel's (made up) examples of band names in the psychedelic 60's.

Robbie Robertson: "16 years on the road. Goddamn impossible way of life. I couldn't imagine 20 years." Trey Anastasio: "Hold my beer." (Trey actually referenced this quote from The Last Waltz" at some point, how 16 was nothing. Let's just say that the conditions were different in the late 50's!

Two of the finest concert movies are the Grateful Dead Movie and the Last Waltz. Both filmed at Winterland. Both start with songs that were from the END of the concert: GD was the 10/19/74 U.S. Blues, which was the encore, and LW starts with Don't Do It, which was the last one the Band played.

How come Quentin didn't actually make the fictional TV show "Fox Force Five", mentioned in Pulp Fiction?

The Last Waltz movie was recorded on Thanksgiving 1976 and released on April 26, 1978. Wouldn't it have been a no-brainer to release it on a Thanksgiving weekend?

What is Johnny Goode’s middle name? What does the “b” stand for? Brian? Benjamin? Bartholomew?

Saw ZZ Top in Albuquerque last night at a casino. Billy sounds great and still shreds on guitar. They have so many great songs. And I finally got to see La Grange which I missed at my first Phish show because i had to leave right before the encore. But the concert last night lasted only 75 min!!

RIP Ace!

Here's the last three times played average score for each of the shows in the late summer tour. Basically a measure of how rare the songs were that night. Overall, the last part of the tour had fewer rare songs than the earlier summer tour. Data from @zzyzx.bsky.social and his ihoz.com

Hampton Night 1 Set 1.

Tease alert! Starting at 23:18 in the 8/4/24 Deer Creek Soul Planet, Trey is teasing Peace Frog by the Doors. The “Blood in the streets it's up to my ankles, blood in the streets it's up to my knees” part. check it out @bizarchive.bsky.social ! It's not currently listed on the setlist at @phish.net

The saving seats at GA venues complaints are mostly valid. I’m still bitter at Greek 23 waiting in line for 4 hours and not getting anything. Line cutting at Hampton is way less because there aren’t any lines! Normalize saving one seat (your crew is 8? Have 4 go in). And do the Telluride thing

I heard a Mountain jam during the Howling (I think). Makes sense given that we are in Allmans country. I’ll try to find the timing @bizarchive.bsky.social

This is Wilbur Field, the site of a free Phish concert in 4/18/92 on the Stanford campus, where I was attending grad school and had no idea the event was going on or who this band Phish was. But had I known, I could have seen them 7 years before I did eventually see them. @stressrelated.bsky.social

“Mitarotonda not only understands the skeptics, he counts himself among them. “I’m not always 100% sold on Goose,” he confesses.” This needs to be a t shirt.

Trey confirms his first Dead show was Hartford 1981. NOT Hartford 83 as he said on TV in a Charlie Rose interview with Bobby.

Forest Hills N1 was the show with the lowest "last three times" score, @zzyzx.bsky.social 's measure of the average rarity of the songs for the show. Even I am the Walrus couldn't help, as it was only a 7 song bust out! Will SPAC bring out any late-tour bust outs?

Pick 5 for Mann N1: Possum Gotta Jibboo Funky Bitch YEM Halfway to the Moon

Only other Tweezer-Ghost was 7/8/14 Mann, I think.

I took the data from @zzyzx.bsky.social Phish Stats report to attempt to graph how deep in the catalog (per rarity) the shows have been on this tour. Note that this relies on averages and thus a single rarity such as Paul and Silas can significantly affect the last three times score for that show.

Mike’s yellow jacket just turned orange because of the lights, which reminds me of the time at the Hollywood bowl when the security guard detained my friend going into our pool seats who had what looked like an orange bracelet, but was actually a yellow bracelet which was confusing. Blame Kuroda

Did anyone else hear a wave of Hope tease in Piper?

@zzyzx.bsky.social Road Crew finally happy that Fishman is using the Marimba Lumina tonight.

Phish should cover US Blues and then after singing the line “We’re all confused, so what’s the use?” go into What’s the Use.

It’s a sign.

Simple ->Mind mind minds They should go into Don’t You Forget About Me next

The SF Giants have a pitcher named Birdsong.

Classic New Mexico. Flood warning together with a dust advisory.

Does the new stage set up indicate that it’s now 5.0?

Slave is finished. Short show!

Come to @phish.net and play the summer tour bust out game.

Learn from my mistake and don’t put your cayenne next to your cinnamon, even though they are close in the alphabet

Palo Verde in full bloom. Bees are happy.

Terp Station

Is the line “if looks could kill we’d both be dead” from WGTYM a reference to the Peter Gabriel song Games without Frontiers: “If looks could kill they probably will”

After that famous negative review, Trey should have written a song called “piss you in the ear”

Why are there no turkey nuggets or turkey tenders?

Happy Dr. Beechwood day (5/13/77) to all those celebrating with me. We still don’t know where they got it.

You’re seeking a memory that’s deer to the hart.

It’s all happening.

I think I found the location of the famous inner-sleeve photo of Joni Mitchell's "For the Roses" album. It's located less than 500 feet of the 18th green at the Pebble Beach Golf Course! Point Lobos in the distance. #jonimitchell What do you think? @paullisicky.bsky.social
