Jam of the Day:
“Mike’s > Horse > Silent” 10.29.96 II
This nugget of darkness finds Phish in Tallahassee, amidst their last set before Halloween ’96. Playing with Karl Perazzo, warming up for Remain In Light, the band sat into a thick “Houses In Motion” groove during “Mike’s” second jam.

re: pigpen
from wikipedia:
yeah I was just looking at setlists, looks like he laid off until maybe those Felt Forum Dec ’71 shows where he returned. he was definitely back in spring 72 as well. But I have always heard that the decision to hire a keyboard player was independent of Pig; Pig was never a serious keyboard player.
“It spoke to my inner sissy.”
Aqua- That is video is funny shit.
11-7-71 is such a hot show. Great Dark Star. That is one of my favorites from ’71. Keith was brand spanking new at that point.

Instant Classics here:
“Don’t sell drugs your first show, as inexperienced drug dealers are looked down upon”
“Do not talk, sing along, or use your cell phone during the show (this means no taking pictures either).”
“do not wear tie-dye shirts with smiley faces or the names of 60s bands on them, but on the other hand do not wear polo shirts or cargo pants. If you are young, it is important not to look like any stereotype of the scene.”
Also from 11/7 especially, but all through fall, the nfa->gdtrfb->nfa is smoking. No doubt, hiring Keith was inevitable regardless of pig’s health, if the band was going to move forward.
Can be hard to imagine how dangerous they were with pigpen. They never really got that back. Still, I’ll take the long ’72-’74 jams.
Finally, someone tells me the definition of “custy.”
sure man
just two different things
the open jamming of 72-74 is my favorite Dead of all, no doubt
71 is a thing to itself, not like any other year, just a kickass roots-rock and blues boogie band that would occasionally go apeshit psychedelic on you
Pigpen had the swagger. No one else did. Bob tried later on, but that was just silly.

That’s some funny shit Chuck D!
‘do not take part in the audience participation that may occur. Fans are trying to eradicate the participation in songs such as “Stash”, “Harry Hood”, and “Wilson”, and as a new fan you shouldn’t contribute to the problem.’

some decent little tips on there!
You’n me both, Marshall
Favorite pig tunes, easy wind, lovelight, and hard to handle, esp 4/28 and 8/6/71 (the latter must be heard in the best dead audience recording I’ve ever heard.
I’ve been going to shows since 1994. Puffed hard in high school but not much after that. Done my share of plenty of other things. But, I still feel like an outsider much of the time when it comes to the Phish scene (although anyone who knows me and who is not phan would disagree). I guess since I never went on tour, never sold shit in the lot, never traveled barefoot, never grew dreads, and never drank only Sammy Smiths I’m always going to feel a bit like an outsider. Not everyone can be a member of the club.
That jam of the day with Perazzo laying down the rhythms on top of Mike’s is neato. Have a good one, all.
PEACE
sounds like maybe some people were dicks to you Marshall?
far as I am concerned you’re a member…or lets put it this way…any club of Phish fans that doesn’t have room for you is bullshit
it’s about the music and the love, I think everyone here would agree
if you’re down with those things, you’re in
but what do I know, I’m just some old deadhead
also in case you have not noticed, my hair is a bird
@BK Good to hear! Enjoy those. The NYE ’95 is…well…NYE ’95. An absolute must see.
@marco all i need is an address. hit me up at chris dot vernarsky at gmail dot com
@Marshall
Dude everyone is a member. The freakier and geekier the better. You know, like dudes with bird hair.

@ Mr. C – my post was about 1/2 joking 1/2 truth and was in response to the wiki post about “how to be a phish fan.” Only after reading it did I know what “custy” was, and I’ve seen that word thrown around here plenty (same for “heady” but that one was never hard to figure out). It had me thinking that, no matter how far into it you get, there’s always someone else “cooler” than you (me).
But thanks!

Lingo is a bit regional also. When I met Leo Weaver for the first time we both agreed that we had no idea what the word “spun” or “spunion” meant, although after finding out, it seems rather obvious.
Like the discussion from several weeks ago … the kids call it E. In my day, it was called X. And I had to be informed what Molly was.
In the end, I’m ok with who I am, and sometimes I’m glad I don’t know all the lingo, because maybe then I’d be too far down the rabbit hole.
^ And for the record Mr. C, I can’t remember anyone ever being a dick to me at a show … unless wooks asking for change and pulls off my fresh beer count 8)
Shit I I thought they were called Biscuits……..see I am not cool either.
Double stack o’ biscuits does a body good.
