Man, it's sad to see "your" band get old and lose the "it" they used to have

Phish, man. I will always love them. But...

They’ve been live streaming first and second set openers this last week. I haven’t been impressed. At all. That makes me sad. And makes me feel old. And makes me even more grateful I was lucky enough to see them back in their prime.

Been wondering since Trey’s quarantine shows if he maybe has arthritis?? His fingers do not look (or sound) nimble, more so than just being age-related. He looks healthy, so that’s good.
Maybe the drugs were the secret sauce?

Just kidding...maybe?
Seriously, I am glad he’s clean.
I just miss Machine Gun Trey. He was incredible.

Tonight was Deer Creek and the setlist looks great! Carini opener first set, ACDC Bag for the second. Both sounded Eh. Will have to listen to the rest once it’s released. They are on the third encore now.

Karoda is killing it, though.

Never a phish-head, though....except for that balloons around the room number.
