#NowPlaying The gloriously stupendous 6/19/04 Piper. #phish #DrewsPicks

This jam is Christmas morning when you're 5 years old levels of magical.

The sustained intensity is superhero stuff across the board and is NOT easy to do. If you hear a youth orchestra play a Mahler or Bruckner symphony, the louds are all really loud, right out of the gate. It feels like you're getting yelled at after a while, no matter how pretty the sounds are that they're making.
