@Evdude @chopaganda @NatePHedi I said recently that this was the Phishiest jam I've heard them play (keeping in mind I'm like 10% beyond Goose noob status). And to be clear I don't mean that in the derivative sense but rather it seemed like a moment where they cast everything they had ever thought about the song aside and landed somewhere completely different and, most importantly, perfect.

@aburtch My 2nd show!

@vriphish76 @chopaganda @cametoplay.bsky.social I’m not sure they NEEDED him with Ben either but I agree with this take 100%. Sacrificing a (sometimes) more “full” sound for allowing Cotter to take a more active role is an easy call IMO

@mrcompletely @Neddyo @chopaganda @rjbee.bsky.social @thejediswitch.bsky.social I debated Denver Ghost with Hamburg Wolfman’s. The Ghost is the perfection of what started with that Wolfman’s. (You can go further back to RiL, but a) there’s no signature jam from Fall 96 and b) the modulus bass was an essential ingredient). Both solid choices IMO

@chopaganda It’s not like I’m suggesting tofurkey or or some sort of fucked up seitan wellington. Just make sure there’s more trophy meat on the table than I can reasonably eat. It’s what jesus would have wanted.

@chopaganda I guess I’m late to the party on this but the answer is obvious: Any large format meat is de facto a Christmas food. Prime rib, ham, turkey, rack of lamb… if you wanna break down a whole bluefin tuna, meet me under the mistletoe

@sethadam1 @drewphish @JeremyDGoodwin I would vote Sabotage as my personal highest energy crowd reaction. Cypress After Midnight also up there. And of course 12/31/02 Piper, but that was going to be an insane reaction no matter what they played.

@DaveG924 The single set show is their kryptonite. Trey treats the first half like a set I where they're not allowed to jam and then by the time he mentally switches gears to set II, he feels the need to squeeze in everything he wants to play (or, like today, he just runs out of time).
