Scent of a Mule is a bluegrass tune about UFOs…

more or less any fugue that they have ever done.
I think that this exact thing happened to me just last year

Put 'em in a field and let 'em, let 'em fight it out!

Page’s piano-breaking crashes at the beginning of Bathtub Gin, as well as the Rhapsody licks contained therein.
Train Song>Bliss>Billy Breathes
An asteroid CRASHED! and nothing burned…
Every last second of “PYITE”
“Jump on the turnstile and watch me go 'round…”
The ominous bass rumbles at the beginning of “Maze”
“It was the loudest thing I’d ever heard, and I knew my time had come… Llama taboot taboot”
Anything->Walk Away
“PLAY IT LEEEEEOOOOOO!!!”
the end of Silent in the morning…oh my gosh, is i just me or does it send a sense of calm over your body when you hear that ending?
“the note” in YEM
She started dancin’ to that fine fine music
You know her life was saved by Rock ‘n’ Roll
Hell yeah!
It was the loudest thing i’d ever heard and i knew my time had come to enter the delta…
leave it on press…depress, depress…
llama taboot taboot!!
I might be in the minority here but…
In later years “the pause” in Divided Sky got a little out of control. I saw a show in Philly in 03 where it was well over a minute - proabably closer to three. Stop basking and just play the song already.
If you listen to some shows from the early 90’s the pause almost non-existent.
Ya, I noticed each year the pause seemed to be longer and longer. I definitely like the early shows where the pause is maybe 3-5 seconds, not minutes.
It got to be a little self-indulgent…
I wonder what is going through Trey’s mind during the short…and long…pauses…he’s waiting for that right moment where he “knows” when to kick back into the song. Probably feeding off the crowd energy.
Yes for listening purposes the pause, if long, is a bit much…but at a show i could care less how long it gets!
I think I heard in some interview or something where Trey in the later “Sky”'s said that during the pause he listens for three bursts from the crowd. One right when the pause starts, a second one when that one dies, then silence, then a third eruption from the crowd. Then he would hit the note. So maybe it was the audience not cheering quick enough! haha
^yes i’ve heard that too…if he stays true to that then the crowd energy definitely varies from show to show (duh!)
i’ll be he doesn’t always stick to that, though.
i remember reading something about trey playing the whole segment in his head (during the silence) and he says it seemed like the crowd would cheer at the right moments…
i think the pause is a way for trey to “play the audience” for a minute or three…
Lizards- the trick is to surrender to the flow
YEM- Boy. Man. God. Shit.
Wilson- Blap boom bi biddy boom
Cities- Look over there, dry ice factory…good place to GET SOME THINKING DONE!
2001- goin up to the peak!
Tweezer- the beginning riff
SPlit open and melt- We breathe deep
in a steam dream
and plunge below the water line
DOWN, DOWN, DOWN,
between beams
to the gloom room
among the seaweed and the slime
down, down, down
Melt
I love phish!
I don’t know if it’s been mentioned already, but the way that Fish drops the drumbeat to start 2001 is F*cking sweeeeeet!
