Pretty Skrillnectar Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 piper's the jam of the run easy. a lil too ambient for me. i like my phish nice and danceable, when trey pulls out the looper and makes a bunch of noises it's not really my thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avesism Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 NYE was good, but I can't say I haven't seen them play better shows on new years. Haven't heard it all yet but the 28th takes it from what I have gotten to give a good listen to from the run. Cities, Carini>Tweezer, HOOD.

abcs Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Legion Of Mary - May 21, 1975 Keystone (Complete) great recording. I haven't made it all the way thru yet. On the plus side its Youtube. You can vid to Mp3 this one. It has a nice slideshow too. Love seeing them 70s pics. Not the best run but nowhere near as bad as some people are saying. Among my favorite things the GD did was nameless/formless jams. I feel like phish is sort of abandoning this and it bugs me. I don't care if its a jam that leads to nowhere. Shows start to feel canned when there is no exploration. My guess as to why the run lacked panache is after Dicks they went their seperate ways and tours. I think they played well enough but just didn't have the same cohesion they have mid-late tour. It didn't feel forced but it wasn't entirely comfortable either. so. When u think summer tour dates start touching down? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beardo Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 man, fish is overplaying the hell out of this 46 days, but I kinda like it :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avesism Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 It seems like open ended jams are a thing of the past for the Phish, save for the occasional show. This bothered me at first, but the jam length wasn't nearly as much of an issue to me as it was how they were sounding and gelling (or not gelling, rather), especially during 2009. They're sounding leaps and bounds better than 09, and I've accepted the fact that they're just not going to be as good as they were went I was seeing them 15, 18 years ago. I look at it not as lowered expectations, but just accepting that times change and you have to roll with them. That being said, they were really on at the Colorado run and I was definitely hoping for a continuation of that at MSG. Clearly they weren't practicing as much as they should have been. Trey sounds like he's firing on (close enough to) all cylinders since summer 11. In fact, so does the rest of the band, they really do need to either keep up the touring or practicing more during the time off. As far as the "canned sound" I hear ya. It's pretty obvious that when they hit the first note of a song now, they've got a real good idea when they're going to hit the last note of it. If they don't want to put on 30 minute experimental jams anymore, so it is, but if they're going to perform like this, it would be nice to hear them at least get the song to be cohesive from beginning to end. I don't understand why they're still constantly flubbing composed sections. (not practicing enough, i guess). Even in the songs where they are going to go off on a jam, they cant seem to get the composed sections right. Listen to the Piper from the run. The Jam is great, but it starts off so damn rocky and an intro that could take 10+ minutes is now done in two. Again, it is what it is, but couldja at least get through those two minutes without sounding like shoes in the dryer? Summer tour dates? Your guess is as good as mine. Rumors are flying about a fest in Jersey. I'd like to see them back at Watkins Geln. Either way, I'll be at a few of them....force of habit.

abcs Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 i heard about new jersey. Watkins is supposedly out tho. Apparently an abbreviated summer tour. Im only good for a week probably anyways. In the past ive heard some pretty forgettable trey contributions. Songs where he flat out sucked at guitar. This isnt the case now. They just need more practice.

abcs Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Winterland Arena on 1974-02-24 im not really sure. I probably linked this before. Nonetheless, someone find me a better am dew. I may have listened to it a few hundred times. The first half is great. The second half tho.... Weather Report Suite too.

abcs Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 looks like a couple deer creek shows in the forecast. Serves to suggest a midwest loop. where im getting this from What im playing right now: (all 5/77 is benchmark standard. No news there) this particular Comes a Time is specially special. super moody Buffalo Memorial Auditorium on 1977-05-09 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abcs Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 U. of Oregon on 1993-08-21 U may have seen this one Mort. I've yet to listen to the rest of the show. Linked if for SOTM. Just before 7 minute mark Jerry flat out opens up. You can sense he knew by the emotion in his voice for the final lines. I may have to check out 93.

shai Posted February 17, 2012 Author Share Posted February 17, 2012 One of my FB "likes" is the Grateful Dead (surprise!) and for the past few weeks they've been featuring Dead covers by various bands. Some of them are pretty good...if you're on there it's worth checking out. They might be linked via dead.net too. I don't know why (following Jerry's lead?) but they ALWAYS pulled out all the stops on "Comes A Time". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avesism Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Bird Song acoustic RCMH NYC 1980 Probably old news to most, (though, there's only like 5 people that actually post in here) still incredible. Any day now on those tour dates, and fuck a Bonnaroo (still the only one listed). That shit doesn't even count. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shai Posted February 17, 2012 Author Share Posted February 17, 2012 (though, there's only like 5 people that actually post in here)... And I'm totally okay with that. Is that the "Bird Song" from "Reckoning?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avesism Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 I think it is, shai, but not positive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avesism Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 FTR, going to check out this local GD cover band tonight "Playing Dead." I checked them out about a month ago and had a real good time. They've got some interesting setlist, last time in the 2nd set they pulled a Scarlet -> Fire -> William Tell Bridge -> The Eleven I was stoked. Good stuff, stoked for tonight. Dancing Deadhead milfs FTW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shai Posted February 17, 2012 Author Share Posted February 17, 2012 If it's acoustic then I'm 99% sure it's the same one. I figure this is timely, being the weekend before Mardi Gras- Grateful Dead Live at Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum on 1993-02-23 (Mardi Gras show w/Ornette Coleman) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
