Just got home from Vegas, and it’s making me chuckle to see the discourse around Phish at the Sphere in my mentions. Those posts blew up! So many hot takes and cultural karenification. It’s not that serious. A lot of it is coming from the self-appointed cool crowd with zero curiosity about the experience… the exact type of people who are probably anti-amusement park, anti-cruise, anti-arcade, anti-roller coaster, anti-Magic Castle or Medieval Times. Relax. Whimsy still has its place in how we spend our leisure time at a low-stakes cultural spectacle. It’s like getting mad at the catering for a wedding you weren’t invited to or something? Obviously I had a great time on my spring vacation of choice. But, like a human golden retriever, I’m also the kind of person who always has a good time in an experience instead of trying to find the misery in it. Those of us who go to Phish know we’re big old dorks and a little cringe, just like Renaissance Faire or Civil War reenactors or people who go to ComicCons. Or wrestling. Or F1. Whatever! We mostly own it. Anyway, here are some more rage bait visuals from Tweezer. This is exactly what it’s going to feel like opening up the laptop on Monday. Especially because I have to go to the dentist for the third time in a month this week..

I know Phish is sorta weird about doing BTS stuff these days, but I would love to watch a documentary about the making of the Forbins > Mockingbird animation. Heck, I hope they do a series about the inspiration & they made some of the Sphere visuals when it’s all said and done.

Phish using this visual during “Drift While You’re Sleeping” is the most spiritually-Stick Figure thing they’ve ever done. Big moments for guys named Jake that operate ski lifts.

One more clip from my Warren Haynes interview. I thought the way he articulated the difference between the Grateful Dead and the Allman Brothers Band was profound. Such a great way of putting it.

Epic Los Angeles Primus show! Bill Burr sit in on drums. Justin Chancellor sit in on bass Matt Stone sit in on drums. Danny Carey sit in on drums. Awesome “Lucifer” tribute to Ozzy Osborne with Ty Segall And, finally, the great MonoNeon with Les Claypool to close the show!

Here’s clip from my chat with the great Warren Haynes. We started talking about playing with The Dead, and the origin story on how he linked up with Phil Lesh in the late ‘90s. Phil told Warren “don’t play like Jerry” and bring his own personality to the music.

Alright, one more Warren Haynes clip… I had to share the part of our chat about STEELY DAN, and Warren chuckling about the time Donald Fagan requested to play Shakedown Street during an Allman Brothers sit-in.
