@1_tiny_spark @goldlikejoel We’re such a weird fanbase. Phish discover something amazing and we’re like, “Wow!!! That was insane! I saw God and they were like, ‘Not even I could do that!’ “We just have one request. Never ever play that again.”

And if you're on mastodon, my posts bridge there to: @zzyzx.bsky.social I don't get updates if people like/reply to me back at Bsky but I'll try to be better about looking there.

With the shit that Musk pulled and will be pulling and the posts this site is trying to push to me, I'm going to make an attempt to move to Blue Sky permanently. If you want me, you can find me at zzyzx.bsky.social

While the setlist might be incomplete, the data we have says that the show opened with Slave to the Traffic Light. If that's true, that was the last time that happened until 9/3/16 at Dick's. There's a gap that I suspect few knew about.

It hardly seems possible that Phish have only once played on November 5 and that was way back in 1988. Fall tours since then have been popular but remembering remembering the 5th of November? Not so much.

I Can't Hear the Can't You Hear the Knocking Syndrome.

Just once (and it might have happened) it would be fun if Phish teased the chorus or something. It's weird that they just favor the unrelated jam at the end, but perhaps it's because they have CYHMK-deafness that means they can't hear the rest of the song.

11/4/94 's Weekapaug ends with - and I quote the setlist notes - "a strong Can't You Hear Me Knocking jam." What separates it enough from other songs with that kind of jam is beyond me but this one is strong! Like every CYHMK tease I've ever heard, it was of the ending.

11/3/84 has a lot of first (known) time played songs, most of which ended up as novelties (Whipping Post) or didn't stick around or were non songs like Drums and Jam. But today is also the 40th anniversary of Camel Walk so strut your stuff all day long!

If a grown man, someone who likes to think of himself as an alpha and an amazing golfer, goes on a rant about how holding a microphone is akin to lifting weights, I'd be worried about his health.

I'll try to deliver some better ones in the next few days but happy DSotM Day! it was on 11/2/98 that Phish decided to reward the few fans that showed up at the Utah show following 2 sold out nights in Vegas by playing the entire album. For the record, I was not one of them.

We then realized our mistake and so, of course, started to hope that CTK would have that as his song call. Then whenever a guest came out, we started rooting for Bone Digger EXCEPT for Cris of course, because that would be too obvious.

Running joke of set 2: When Billy announced Chris Thomas King was coming out (as "Chris"), we thought he meant Cris Jacobs at first, and being Greensky fans, we started joking about how he was going to play Bone Digger.

I usually keep my Facebook locked down to posts to people I actually know in real life, but I couldn't get Instagram or Twitter or You Tube to post the whole version of the first video, so watch it here. I really really liked parts of set 2. Really. facebook.com/Zzyzx/posts/pf…
