Kind of feel like we should have some sort of Masto version of #yembconvo here in honor of #phish tour starting tonight. Or is that just dorky af?
OK, let's keep it simple, see if there's any interest.
Tonight is the start of the band's 40th (!) year. If they were to do one "special" thing in 2023 to celebrate, what would you love to see em do?
Me, I think we're due for a big bad PH festival. 40th birthday party that everyone's invited to...
@Neddyo most things Phish related are usually pretty dorky. I say go for it.
@Neddyo I’d love to see regular nods to their origins with early days song bust outs and Michael Jackson covers ()
But seriously, Skippy the Wondermouse, Clod, Alumni Boues, Flat Fee, Take the A Train, etc.
Bring back the old backdrops too. Like this one: https://youtu.be/6z-35ehTFaA
@aburtch would love it if they busted out the Minkins! The Greek would be a great place for em too!
@Neddyo That would be a very unique nod to 40 years. Would look so cool at the Greek.
@aburtch also that video is from less than 2 weeks after my first show, more or less what I saw that night. Kind of wild. Still have some of Kuroda's light patterns from certain songs memorized. He was a master even back then with less to work with.
@Neddyo I keep that video bookmarked, because it was my first show. I was very close to the front near Mike. Not hyperbole to say that one show changed the course of my musical life!
@aburtch amazing!
@Neddyo Good one! Seconded...
@ejstoltz Thirded. That’s the only answer
@Neddyo I couldn’t agree more. I’ve still got my Curveball sticker on my windshield!
@Neddyo Play David Bowie for the first time since 2004.
If that’s not possible, throw a Halloween birthday party in Indio.
@JDubsMT isn't that why they're playing 2 in Seattle first?
@Neddyo they sounded much better than any tour opening run that I can think of in the current era.
@Neddyo - I’d be happy with just one La Grange.
@Neddyo one show play everything from the white tape in whatever form it is or became.
@Neddyo Technically Mexico was the start of their 40th year--and it was terrible. Not a good sign for The Phish from Vermont.
@Neddyo full gamehendge set.
@Neddyo fuck it. Gamehendge set
@Neddyo a festival!!
@Neddyo shelve the dadrock tunes.
@Neddyo I missed this yesterday but let’s get it going next week
