Every year on 4/23 I listen to the 4/23/93 Weekapaug, because it's one of my favorite versions, Trey does some shit in there that blows my mind. But this year it's the 30th anniversary of PH @ Colgate. Tiny college gym that didn't sound great & also I was very sick & probably should not have been at a concert or out of bed at all. Thankfully I survived + saw Curtis Loew for the 1st time & also a crazy good Weekapaug, although I was pretty hepped on cold medicine. Weird night.
Have you ever been to a show when you definitely should not have been at a show?
Tl;dr listen to this Weekapaug today! Trust me!
@Neddyo Thanks for the heads up on this one. Definite hose. Did I catch some early era woo'ing?
@Jboldt1228 @Neddyo my dude there is wooing as early as 88, encouraged verbally from the stage by one Trey Anastasio
@LostReflector @Neddyo if this is true (I have no reason to not believe it) & knowing how crazy we all are with stats, it boggles my mind there is not a woo'ing spreadsheet. Or maybe a woo'ing jam chart?
@Jboldt1228 @Neddyo I done tweeted it once upon a time when I still was there
@LostReflector @Neddyo........ There's always a tweet......
@Jboldt1228 @Neddyo I'm pretty sure I read someone's woo jams list not long ago but cannot recall where I saw that
@LostReflector @Neddyo of course there is! THAT'S the fan base I grew up in!
@Neddyo Vegas 2014 I got a massive case of food poisoning from oyster egg shooters at moe’s late night Halloween show following Phish. Talking 102 degree fever and can’t keep anything up or down severe food poisoning. It peaked following the second night of Phish.
For the third/final night, I got one of those hangover IVs full of fluids and ate a ton of Imodium and percoset to bind things up and make me feel ok enough to go. Raged it.
@chopaganda I do remember that
@chopaganda @Neddyo the Hooters after night 2 couldn’t have helped you either.
@ShakedownSax @Neddyo I only ate 1-2 wings and then that’s when I realized how sick I was when I couldn’t stop shaking.
@chopaganda @Neddyo you were shaking and your face was pale. Glad you bounced back hard night 3
@chopaganda @Neddyo I think I actually saw some shows around you during that run. I sold some floor tickets to Baker and saw a few nights near her and @furrythug although I’m not sure even they would remember. I recall meeting @alliedise.
@Rosey I wasn’t at Vegas 14
@furrythug It was kasvot year. My memory is shot.
@Rosey @chopaganda @Neddyo @furrythug my memories of Vegas runs are pretty bad
@alliedise it was 2018 you made me wear the mask, I shouldn’t have been at those shows.
@furrythug that’s what I figured
@alliedise always the trendsetter
@Neddyo 1st night Fenway 2019 I was nursing a broken rib from a water park incident (don't ask). That alone wasn't too bad but the rib in question was right over my heart and I was getting waves of excruciating pain as I couldn't help but dance.
I lost count of how many people approached me thinking I was having a cardiac event including multiple venue staff
@Neddyo I went to Oysterhead’s debut concert in New Orleans the night before an 8:30 am law school final exam. Not my best exam performance but I’d do the same thing again in a heartbeat.
@Neddyo sick with a 101 fever for Halloween 1996. 6-7 hour drive down to ATL that afternoon and then the same drive back immediately after the show. Fortunately I did not have to drive.
@WolfGuitar @Neddyo same. Halloween 96 I had mono, sat all the way up top with 101+ fever as well. Good times!
@Neddyo so much HOSE in that Paug
@Neddyo that was a fun show. I remember it was so jammed to get in because it was spring fling and then all the jocks left at intermission and there was a ton of room. Awesome Weekapaug. And highway to hell was awesome too.
