    i rocked both jones beach shows, and while not my first shows, they were the best i had seen in awhile

    and last night would have been a perfect first show, if that didn't do it for you, you shouldn't try again.

    it's not a pearl jam show....don't compare it to one. they are 2 different types of concerts, and both are the best in their field right now

    I saw my first phish show a couple of weeks ago out in berkley at the greek theater
    Im not really a fan, big deadhead, but it seemed like a good thing to check out given the venue and the rave reviews for the current tour

    fun time, that band is tight and they are talented musicians that put on an energetic show
    I didnt see god or lose my shit, but I had fun, I would go again if the tickets were free

    pollock are very tough to get, need to line up around noon or so usually, and wait for hours. I'd rather be hanging out with friends than sit in that line.

    that being said, his greek night 1 from this is looks amazing, the lettering puts it as my favorite of his ever

    ah someday hopefully i'll get one

    PJ should really consider using him for their next tour

    the folksy feel would actually fit these days... now that they've mellowed considerably

    saw my first show on July 3rd and went the fourth. just spectacular. Ive listened to them for almost ten years now and it was just such an awesome experience

    they're not really an album kindof band... i would recommend you get a good bootleg... im sure a phish head could fill you in on the best... rosemont horizon '95 is good IMO

    out of the studio stuff i like "picture of nectar" the most... very ecclectic... shows off their musicianship... "billy breathes" is good too

    as far as albums... billy breathes, farmhouse, story of the ghost, and rift are all decent

    but yes albums aren't really their thing. a good introductory live album is slip, stich, and pass. if you like what you hear, you may be ready for the next phase....

    I recommend the Bonnaroo 2009 bootleg. It was the fist thing I listened to by Phish and it made me a fan (Bruce Springsteen also makes a cameo for a couple of songs).

    as far as albums go check out Picture of Nectar and Billy Breathes.

    I saw them twice this past tour. July 3rd in Atlanta and then drove 8 hours to see them in deer creek. That's how good they are IMO. They are completely different then PJ but still extremely good. Looking forward to the fall tour. Rumors around saying they will play new years at MSG. Hope it's true.

    glad you fun. to me a PJ show is about half as good as a phish show. it doesn't matter what they play but how they play it. on here it seems like all there are is setlist whores who don't think a show was good unless Crown of Thorns was played or some other rare song they've been chasing. As far as lyrics go well Phish songs are more about the compositions. If you are really into songs i reccomend checking out Billy Breathes Phish are not great singers so they focus on what they are good at. Most Phans go to the shows for the improvisation. It's amazing to see where they can take songs and create these euphoric moments. It's also nice that they repeat a song at most every four shows and when they do it's never really played the same. I love hitting multiple PJ shows, but you really don't need to see more than three in a row max. Honestly at this point I just go to hear new Pj songs because ive heard everything else after 10 years of seeing them. The versions don't differ too much show to show. And I know people on here will get pissed at me for saying this but Phish owns MSG and the energy is so much greater than PJ. It's also nice that there aren't sing alongs the whole time so you can hear what's going on. But again glad you had fun. Phall tour is gonna rock. Also Pj is my second favorite band, I just love Phish so much more.

    night three was hot. the Light was fantastic and the Slave was the best in years. Really nice Suzy as well.

    For studio albums get Junta and Lawnboy. Junta is very proggy and by far their best work.

    For live stuff check out A Live One and New Year's '95 at MSG.
