PJBeyond a holiday run (NYE, Halloween, etc) is there a better Phish date than 8/16?
Chop@Axillapt3 This is a great question. Need some time to think.
chillwig@chopaganda @Axillapt3 that's arrival day for curveball innit?
@chillwig @chopaganda And perhaps you just killed it. Haha
@Axillapt3 @chopaganda 8/16/20 was cancelled for covid
@Axillapt3 @chopaganda so yeah the whole premise must stand on the shoulders of 96-98
J.M.Hart (rowjimmy)@rowjimmy @Axillapt3 @chopaganda I think we were just pulling up next to you guys at the campground right about this time
@chillwig @Axillapt3 @chopaganda right about this time is when Chop dragged RJ and I into his rv to try to convince us that 2004 was good.
Mr. Completely@mrcompletely @rowjimmy @chillwig @Axillapt3 I specified June 2004. Even I won’t defend Coventry and Vegas. Also, I was right.
Atara
Drew but 7/27/25 GA ➡️ Reprise@velvetseawader @chopaganda @mrcompletely @rowjimmy @chillwig @Axillapt3 Mike Gordon's June 2004 might be the single best month that any member of #phish has ever had.
@drewphish @chopaganda @mrcompletely @rowjimmy @chillwig @Axillapt3 dude YES the summer of Mike!!!! First of all, the Coney Island shows were awesome. 2nd night 2nd set SPAC, anyone?? The Mansfield shows 🔥 hot damn summer 04 was definitely a cocktease for how they would eventually end it.
@drewphish @chopaganda @velvetseawader @rowjimmy @chillwig @mrcompletely Funny enough I listened to the SPAC N1 with the amazing ASIHTOS and Piper and it really does hold up so well. My first SPAC show taboot
@Axillapt3 @drewphish @chopaganda @velvetseawader @rowjimmy @chillwig both second sets from SPAC 04 deserve to be in anyone's A list rotation
@mrcompletely @Axillapt3 @drewphish @velvetseawader @rowjimmy @chillwig And the first set of 6/19 is magnificent. And the Drowned to close the first set of N2 is incredible.
lumpblockclod@velvetseawader @drewphish @chopaganda @mrcompletely @rowjimmy @chillwig @Axillapt3 He also fit that first Mike & The Duo set in there just for the fuck of it. https://phish.net/setlists/mike-gordon-june-07-2004-bb-kings-new-york-ny-usa.html
@lumpblockclod @drewphish @chopaganda @mrcompletely @rowjimmy @chillwig @Axillapt3 I WAS AT THIS SHOW!!!!! It was absolutely incredible. I think it might have been my first Duo show but I have to look back on those dates lol
THE Bandino@drewphish @velvetseawader @chopaganda @mrcompletely @rowjimmy @chillwig @Axillapt3 so true. And that bass tone is so sick in 04. His bass has never sounded like it before or since. Except maybe in the Worcester Moma in 2003
@chopaganda @chillwig St Louis 93 helps tip the scales. There are few somewhat average 3.0 shows in there but I don’t think it takes away from the overall premise
