@joelanman I don't know why musicians haven't organized their own streaming service together, or the Performing Rights Organizations on their behalf. #phish certainly figured it out for themselves, I'm sure the model can be applied to the industry as a whole. What's the holdup? The end to commercial sponsorship?
If you knew that the bluegrass cover of "Gin & Juice" was mislabeled on Kazaa & Limewire as Phish instead of The Gourds, then we should be friends. 
We can still be friends if you didn't know that, but you gotta check this shit out first!
@marcoarment Excuse me, but I don’t suppose you’d be willing to share tips on how to save “purchased” shows from Live #phish ? Iirc, @caseyliss helped you figure that out. Gearing up to watch the Mexico performance tonight… I might even become an ATP member in appreciation.

pleased to meet you.
What are your favorite jams from the summer #phish tour? List as many as you want.
Hell, make it since 2017. Give me your favorite 4.0 jams. I want re-listening suggestions. Tysm.
JESUS FUCKBALLS #phish
Love that I am almost 8,000 miles away and still getting texts from people because the band is playing Fuckerpants 
#phish
Insane FOMO today w/repsect to Mondegreen. Never was in the cards for me bc of time/distance/work obligations.
Thoughts and prayers for a few West Coast dates in Fall/Winter/Spring #phish
These two caught napping during #phish #couchtour after an energetic outing.
Phish friends, I will suggest to you that if you have the means, invest in Philips Hue bulbs for your entertainment area. Watching Phish live streams, sync'ing my video to my bulbs = CK5 controlling my lights. I always knew I wanted these LED bulbs in the common areas, and my office just for mood lighting, but once I realized I could sync them to whatever was on a particular display, that's when it got real. CK5 controls the lights in my home during Phish shows. It's out of this world. #phish
If I want to play an example of tension and release #phish for a professional musician, the 7/8/94 Stash is what I go for every single time. It is stunning - simultaneously uplifting and disorienting in spots.
It is Phish at their absolute best. Four musicians speaking as one.

Getting into that level of musical conversation, even for those of us who have been obnoxiously lucky to get to play with the greats, is so incredibly rare.
The communication shines in the composed sections as well as the jams.
The 7/8/94 Divided Sky is the GOAT for my tastes. It is tension and release #phish at its finest.
But it is completely overshadowed by the Stash in the second set which is featured on A Live One.

And the entire band is SO CONNECTED. During the composed section of Divided Sky there is a section where they don't frequently get quiet and the bottom falls out dynamically from the entire band and it happens with seemingly no warning. #phish
All four have ears for days and when they are individually and collectively in a flow state it frees them up to communicate in a way that feels telepathically.

I listened to the first set of 7/8/94 today and the way that Trey absolutely carves up Lizards, Tela, Mockingbird, Sloth. It takes my breath away. #phish
One of the greatest guitar players to ever live at the height of his powers, three months into a tour, playing really fucking difficult music in a total flow state.
The flow. The swing. The assertiveness. Complete mastery of his instrument.

...at Northwestern as soon as I returned to school after seeing #phish 12/31/93. So I knew all about Gamehendge and it's significance. I was already tracking every setlist and I was devastated when they played it 6/26/94 because it meant I wouldn't be seeing one in '94.
When it hit me that I was wrong I started jumping up and down like I was getting tasered.
A magical, magical evening for this 18-year-old.

30 years ago tonight was my first ever jaded moment at a #phish show. More like semi-jaded.
When they opened with Llama I think I said "Seriously?" out loud because 7/8/94 was my 3rd show and my 3rd Llama opener!
I loved Llama then and love it now. Was just looking for something different.
Any hint of jadedness immediately vanished the second the siren started that signaled the start of NO2.
I had stumbled onto Phish only six months earlier but I fell in with a super-connected crowd...

madison square garden has apparently banned a #music fan from all their venues after he posted video of himself ripping a bong at a #phish show (in las vegas on 4/20, maaan), which they will likely enforce via facial recognition. kinda dumb but still: previously, this was only applied to james dolan's personal vendettas (also evil!) but will now identify/ban specific fans, which feels like crossing a different fucked-up boundary. lot to unpack! https://x.com/PhishatMSG/status/1798656623302553961?t=RHr3ZdBRV5xnLnYzMqYFHA&s=19 #nyc #surveillance
