TTFF: The Beginning of December
As the calendar flips to December, memories of Phish jams past always dance in our heads. The month is synonymous with vintage Phish, as the band brings their explorations of the year to a head each year. Throughout history, many fall tours spilled into the early weeks of December, and in 1999, the band gave December a tour of its own, as the band geared up for Big Cypress. This week’s playlist is taken from shows that took place on the first two days of December throughout the years. Enjoy the tunes as we fade into the weekend.

“Peaches En Regalia” 12.1.96 I, Los Angeles, CA
This bustout of “Peaches,” for the first time since 12.31.94, opened the show at Pauly Pavilion at UCLA.

“Mike’s Song > Weekapaug” 12.1.95 II, Hershey, PA
Nineteen-ninety five was, arguably, the peak year for “Mike’s Groove,” and as the band careened towards ’96,every single version in December absolutely slayed. This is the first one—a legendary rendition from Hershey, PA.

“Tweezer” 12.2.95 II, New Haven, CT

Twitter is feeding some of the better blogs like zerohedge. But they miss out on the bullish news too often.
The SMS -> Twitter -> Blog rivals network news for sure.
On Monday before the Fed saved the World…

We were either gonna rip forward or Deutschebank was going down.
Either way playing vol was it.
You need a better fetish Duder.
I don’t think it was DB man
I’d bet it was one of the french banks. we broker at DB and have somewhat of a good idea what’s going on there.
we also broker at BNP and are scared as shit about that and recently moved all our assets into their US entity for our better bankruptcy laws
zerohedge is rooting for the end of the world. Everyone follows him though.
The Real Fly is the best. Dude nails it 8/10 times.
I wish twitter was bigger when i was actively trading, a tremendous help. Info flows through there before it hits cnbc for sure.
Erin is a little party girl.
Maria is a washed up hag. She “worked” her way to where she is now.
last thought of the day before off to work
if you do chill here. miner puts a bunch of effort and cash into this site and it should be respected. plus the thing looks great anyway.
I imagine most if ya’ll will be but figure I’d throw this out there again.
BUY THE FUCKIN BOOK!
Yeah, I don’t know if it was DB, but I thought they were on the other end of some Puts they sold or something. Aren’t they big in currency/carry trade stuff?
I’m outta school. Just a citizen trying to be just slightly more informed.
those sites are kinda trouble. 90% of the people reading don’t understand half the shit on zerohedge. I understand maybe 75% of it and can honestly say at least half is just end of the world hype BS.
not sure why people would follow it seriously. I like some of the info on european credit stresses and credit curves and such but other than that just seems pretty conspiracy to me.
I still read it everyday though so WTF.
Yeah, what AW said. And drop him some money over there via PayPal.
#phishthoughtspledgedrive
Socgen and BNP are the brokers that will write derivative on anything
can’t imagine it not being one of them if something goes all fucked up
you want to short 12/29 third song second set swaptions. call BNP.
now I’m really out
going to go short some euros

I’m not a ZH shill, but Tyler was calling US banks being insolvent back in early 2008 before Lehman. He was right. The Fed dropped 14 Trillion around the world.
End of the world? Fuck yes. It was the end of the world. Then the Fed lied about how they intervened. It’s not scare tactics. I’m a high enough IQ to see through the rhetoric. But what happened, WAS the end of the world. Financially.
There is one thing I do research on, it’s the Fed. The are the guys that run the world. Absolutely no question to me.
I bet you’re right. It was one of those two. Makes sense. And SocGen is already insolvent.
I’m off to work too. Funny line there Aw.
Gonna blast Hampton Bag on the way to work.
Page rips IT UP.
the fed schmed. pffft
everbody knows the Pentavirate runs the show.
Just arrived at my fabric covered box. Wish I was at home.
Got a cabin booked up in the mountains for tomorrow night. Nice romantic getaway. Snowshoeing Sunday. Relaxing.
Bennett is comedic gold…thanks for the laughs t3.
Donate blood.
If you’re in need of 28s or 29ths I just updated the spreadsheet. Need a trade
@leo
pulling for your dawgs this weekend. I want there to be complete bcs bedlam. plus I’m not a fan of The Hat.
@ Leo
I do have a lifesource card in my $ clip fwiw.
@ T3 YES! go Dawgs
Ahhhh this is the YEM with that very cool jam on the unusual chord progression
Hell yeah, go Dawgs! Thanks for wearing the red and black! Or whatever colors the anti-bcs team wears. I’m not expecting a win, but I think Dawgs match up against the bayou bengals as well as anyone they’ve played all year. OL has a monumental task. Keep Murray clean and play solid special teams and we might just pull it out. D should keep us in it.

Good morning BBers

@leo
