TTFF: Modern Holidays
12.31.2010 (Ryan Gilbertie)
****
In anticipation of this year’s New Year’s Run, let’s reminisce with some of the brightest memories from the holiday runs of 3.0
***
“Tweezer -> Caspian” 12.29.09 II
The best “Tweezer” of any Holiday Run this era, and one of the elite 3.0 versions.

The first New Year’s Eve “Ghost” of this era, a modern tradition that has stuck so far.

“Seven Below > What’s the Use?” 12.27.10 II
This jam highlighted Worcester’s opening show two years ago.

“Simple” 1.1.11 II
The standout piece of the strongest show from 2010’s 5-night run.

“Back on the Train” 12.30.09 II
The most impressive jam to ever stem from this song.

The cathartic closing combo of a very special night in Miami.

happy turkey day black board!
lots to be thankful for round these parts this yeeah.
Why not legalize? They can tax big companies, we can support the local guy.
With decriminalizing it, I still have to stress this piss test for a job and still have to pay 100 bucks if I’m caught.
Thank you TheUniverse!
Found Hood eggnog at the store today, pretty far south for us. My son and I always drink eggnog together every night this time of year. I had my “Phish greatest” playlist rolling. BC Split, Island Tour Twist…..My son and I go in the kitchen to get our first eggnog of the year. I’m telling him about the Harry Hood link and 12-30-95 starts playing. Glasses get poured, and we toast right as first “Harry!” comes. Perfect synchronization. Boy looks at me and says “Dad how’d you do that?” Later he asks if we can listen to this song every time we drink eggnog.
Hey slick. hows the little squatch?
