One of the top highlights from Big Cypress—an all-time great.

“Reba” 6.13.94 II Kansas City, KS
1994 and “Reba,” a match made in heaven. Here is another stellar version.

“Ghost” 8.7.98 I, Raleigh, NC

“Piper” 8.8.98 II, Columbia, MD
As Phish came back from Europe, after dropping Prague’s 7/6/98 version, “Piper” continued to expand.

“Tweezer” 11.3.96 II, Gainesville, FL
A groovy and percussive version with Karl Perazzo; two shows after “Remain In Light” you can already hear the influence of the album’s style.
[audio:http://phishthoughts.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Track-05-6.mp3]***
“YEM -> Izabella” 7.26.97 II, Austin, TX
Everyone knows “Tweezabella,” but do you know her sister “YEMabella?”

“Stash” 11.13.97 II, Las Vegas, NV

@silly
honestly haven’t been paying attention to this recruiting cycle since signing day.
I wish I had the nerves for that kind of thing, Duder
but I’m just too anxious for that kind of thing.
I’d get in trouble by the first set of Worcester, no doubt.
sumodie – I had an ear irrigation done last year and after it was done it felt like someone turned up the amplifier on everything around me. 35 years of wax buildup came to a head and it felt like I got a new lease on listening once I got it done. I suggest anyone my age that hasn’t gotten one done to go out and get one ASAP even if you don’t think you have any buildup.
The shit that they pulled out of my ear was a disgusting beast but the level of hearing that I got back was truly astounding. Everyone should do it at my age.
@RC
For two nights that nearly my rent check………. 🙂
@sumo
i’ll get back to you after work this evening
yes, we do need wed portsmouth
with your luck silly, probably…
all in jest.
That is why you do it with a group lastwaltzer. Although my wife and I are flying solo this time around. It’s been a good year for us…Time to take a little trip to reward ourselves for being epic parents.
@ Robert C
I use a q-tip every morning.
@ really high volumes my left ear will start to crackle for a bit then opens up.
you think i need to have this done?
42 yrs here
I think last week’s BB tinnitus convo precipitated my ear situation (lol/not lol). Was pretty blase about it till last night’s freak out fest. But if it helps me score Woosta tix, right on!
Sometimes I create my own bad luck, Duder
just not good at hiding emotions.
no poker face, here
but i’m decent at euchre…
…ok, changing gears. EFF Syracuse!
legal advise tent is a great idea. maybe dress in a robe and powdered wig
For the record and just so y’all don’t think I’m some lazy wook who didn’t bother to get tix, my job is in a state of flux right now as far as shift and days off. So, I’ll prob be begging for DC or Alpine or both when the time comes. Please have mercy on a good man. For the record, midnight shift is the supreme suck.
phoamm, yours if you want ’em. talk later…
as in Bob?
yeah, TypeIII
shephard was an early enrollee. he’s been in south bend for the spring semester, but decided it wasn’t for him, i guess.
and carlisle was the SC transfer at halfback.
ncaa cleared him to play this fall.
I see this, and think … Wisconsin dude.

robe and powdered wig is a money idea
call myself Billy the Barrister.
My dad had the ear wax thing done a few years ago, said it was revelatory (paraphrased).
Probably worth at least looking into for all you old fogies!
Thanks to some encouragement from gcub, looks like a return trip to DC is shaping up for me. Excited to see all you midwest kids. That 2fer along with AC, any shows in NC vicinity on leg 2 and maybe Dicks has my summer shaping up pretty well.
i’m addicted to q-tips
the post-shower q-tipping is a must.
but, im not sure it’s really that helpful.
it just feels good to me.
Just admit it Bingos. You’re a lazy wook that didn’t bother to get his tickets.
At least you’re not from Wisconsin.
I feel like, without AW around here, someone needs to step up and “keep it real” around here.
I’m gonna dose your wings Leo.
Ear-igation huh? I may need to look into that. ENT doctor can do that I guess? I’ve done the ear candles a few times…amazing what that pulls out.
“I’m gonna dose your wings Leo.”
Those wings are gonna be so high they’ll see god
