Re: C/NC: Phish
72Saw them 3 times in 3 days last week. They're still Phish. Still going hard on the tepid funk jams that the fans LOVE, but put me to sleep in 5 minutes. But when they bust out the more composed stuff, they're second to none. And when their jams start to get really noisy and dissonant and dark, they've got my attention. Trey had some pedal or SOMETHING that just maxed his shit out during a solo and it sounded like a jet. He just held it there for a good 30 seconds. Given the number of shows that they play, and the length of each show, I get it, they can't give me the exact show I want, because they'll all start to be the same. I just wish they'd embrace the weirder stuff more. There was a moment in there where they were all using loopers, somehow perfectly locked in, and it sounded like a trippier Don Cab.
And holy shit: their new lighting rig absolutely makes you think you're on acid. The whole thing rolls and undulates and raises and lowers to within a foot of the band's heads. Absolutely bonkers. Makes sense that their tours are now multi day runs in each location. They're still keeping ticket costs to a somewhat reasonable 60 bucks. Not great, but it could be MUCH worse. Still playing for 3 hours (or more depending on curfew).

Re: C/NC: Phish
77On and off! When I felt it. Except for the first night when I took way too many shrooms and was sweating it out for the bulk of the show.
