“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.

“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

“You’re better at being an asshole than me.”
I think you’ve got it after that one. That hurts bro.
yeah, leaning towards AC, but 7 shows, road trip, get a family visit in on the midwest run. AC + large BB crew, easy logistics, shamoo, Leo half naked on the beach. can’t pass it up.
Never saw this Trey interview but I think it explains why we are getting what we get: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k2XNDCVrNn0&context=C423ac4fADvjVQa1PpcFPYdWptRahFLAE0_eXMorvXVS5P0OE4wjs=

He is doing what he thinks people want……and he’s probably right.
Folow your muse Trey.
Bingos, yeah, kinda went nuclear with that one.
It felt very AWish tp say that.
You gave up too easy. Try again.
to, not tp.
I could never be AW if only for the fact that I love large sweaty women. Deer Creek and Alpine FTW.
Felt like I was channeling Walter White a bit more than AW there.
Off to the 10 year old girls volleyball playoffs. Gotta slap my kid around and get her hyped up. Mind Madness baby!
Trey’s brain fires along at light speed.
I like and get the entertainer/artist dealy and those trappings like the dress for ex.
puy away the dress…
put
there are three other parts to that dude, worth watching.
trey thinks too much
We all think too much….
I don’t think very much.
check out the wax candles you put in your ear and light. Vacuum sucks out some ear wax…not as good as a proper one, but good. You need a helper to give you a heads up before the flame gets too close to your ear.
“I like to feel people rock out.”
Palmer, you and Cub makin’ it to the Beacon this week?
You are a jam band. Jam.
I doubt it. I haven’t heard anything. Maybe though. I think he said the 20th was a date he could go.
Great drop LW. Trey really struggled with that question. He knows that he wants to entertain us, but a good question is what “entertains” us?
I’m not even sure who “us” is.
That’s why I don’t think to much. I end up with that kind of sentence.
Out of an audience of , say 20k at a Phish show. What percentage do you guys think are “jam chaser’? Rockers?, weird setlist, bustouts, antics fans?
plus you have the peeps who are just there to party, do drugs, get drunk etc….
:Wants to see someone with a sign that says “Play the Brown Note” this summer:
