scratches balls
When I first got HCA and started to REALLY get into Phish, I’d pick out a band member and listen to them for stretches of entire songs. I did this with Mike a lot on those discs.
Do that for some of your favorite songs on HCA and tell me he was better in '04.
you cant tell me what to do!
I’m just talkin’ individually how skilled they are at their instruments, thats all.
I felt Page and especially Trey were regressing in the last years while Mike was getting better and better.
and that was just in response to the last part of fone’s post, about Fishman’s playing.
I’m a division manager!
I drive a Dodge Stratus!
i wish you werent a liar.
Although I am a guitarist, and may have been biting a bit more than I could chew trying to pickout an impressive Fishman performance - I would seriously argue that it is Fish, and not Trey that makes the 2/28/03 tweezer jam what it is. As I hear, it Fish’s playing is seemless, perfectly in tune to what direction trey/mike/page seem to be headed. No, perhaps not his absolute finest moment, but really powerful nonetheless. Yeah, Trey’s octave leaping at the 15-16 minute point of this Jam is the moment of the jam, but it would also be impossible/sound faaar different without his fancy gadgets!
Anyways, so far no one really has any suggestions otherwise, which was what this post was originally all about.
Trey shines in many a Divided Sky. Check out UIC’94.
Welcome to the Oh Kee Pa message board.
thanks!
I think something like the clif ball is a crown achievement. Here the band worked all those years to be able to do something like that was phenomenal… then to do it again and again was also remarkable. and place that disease high upon that crown yo. yeeeaaahhh~!
Of course its overshadowed by the other big shows that followed but teh ball was groundbreaking in the phish world.
Shit I haven’t heard that in a while.
