I’m so confused.
@chopaganda oh totally, most of the tee shirts and an official tour poster dont even feature the hampton date. hype flew through the roof when they announced it.
@chopaganda such a wierd show, I can absolutely see this in the top 10. I was right behind stage, directly next to the photographer who took this shot. immediately, like note one, saw something up with trey. like he had just climbed off a mountain of blow and was erratic and hyped in the strangest way. then to come out of set break and play all of these dreams -> complete trainwreck set was just sad. everyone after the show like “maybe they should quit.” all timer disappointment show for sure.
@chopaganda yeah I can see that, and I know i keep coming back to it but i cant see how standing in literal shit while trey flub-sobs can be topped. like it should be it’s own category like 40 disappointments other than being exposed to raw sewage and the coventry glide. im guessing number 1 has to be hampton just for hype level and then being bored after fluffhead.
@chopaganda ha! listen i may have had too much coffee, but i really dont know if i’ll ever have a disappointment not just in music but in life that matches coventry. trumps election night maybe, but even then I didnt need a tetanus or diptheria shot. I don’t know, but this was the only thing on this list i disagreed with other than maybe wanting to see 12/31/16 higher, still in therapy over that night.
But the sting of Coventry lasted for 5 years- the entire time thinking that was the end point- and included Skeeto Valdez becoming a name you recognized and trey almost dying and getting arrested. I know it is the no fun, obvious answer but it really was “far worse than anyone could imagine.” Nothing on this list or coming could ever be considered a bigger disappointment than Coventry. It isn’t close.
But your list has been a fun ride and the gif game is on point.
One year after 10/31/13 phish played a brilliant “Is This What You Wanted” make up show, shit a half hour after Wingsuit phish delivered an amazing set. The palpable disappointment in the room was gone halfway through Carini.
trey and page then cried, they didnt play tweezer, glide made you question your life choices, and instead of a secret set there was a giant wagon stuck in the mud, and the final song ever was played in the wrong key. Oh yeah, and the entire time you were up to your knees “literally dancing in processed human shit.”
@chopaganda absolutely crazy to me how anyone could put the disappointment of 10/31/13’s weird but not entrely awful set 2 ahead of what was supposed to be phish’s emotional but triumpant hometown farewell *starting* with mike telling us over the radio NOT TO COME TO THE LAST SHOW EVER and then having to abandon your car on the highway and hike miles into a cold, damp, hellscape complete with an ugly, traumatized scene where
@chopaganda saw it in the theater, falling out of my chair laughing when there was no need to laugh, just so in your face awful. people were walking out, moaning at the screen. it is an absolute crime against humanity. when south park put out that episode I felt so vindicated because it was truly astonishing how bad it was.
