@geyanastasio I could have it twisted, but I’m pretty sure phish fans built nugs, then it branched out into monetized livephish.
I can remember hanging around after of moe. shows in 2002 waiting for them to burn the show onto 3 cds directly after.
@steely__drew Interesting twist: is there a rapper whose fans would travel across state lines to watch them freestyle for 20-40 minutes at a time for 3 hours each concert?
@chickenpaprika Even Lullaby off of La Cucaracha can “bring a tear to me eye “
Ween write beautiful songs, they’re often just sandwiched between the silliest/oddest songs.
@JakeSilco12 “I’d like to start this set off saying: First quarter. Houston by 5”
And the following Icculus off of LivePhish 10 (6-22-94) has a pretty significant sports-phish connection in my book.
@riverportgin Indie rock shows in the early 2000s were crazy. 45 min show was the shortest I ever saw.
I also saw one of my favorite bands: The Slip, change from a 2 set improv heavy trio to a tight songed 1 set performance.
Jam band fans are lucky. Varying set lists! 3+ hour plus show!
@PhunkyWitch Many people are saying it’s time for the meatSTICK.
they’ll say with tears in their eyes “sir, this meatStick, sir, it shocks my brain”
Because of woke.
SAD
@riverportgin I think there’s a common thread with TMBG, Ween, & Phish. (Lifelong favorite bands of mine)
All 3 bands genre switch on a dime & have a sense of humor built into their catalogue. *if you’re in on the joke* the music can be incredible. But from the outside, people don’t get it.
@riverportgin I would lose my mind. Always jealous of the folks that get a (very confused) Icculus at their first show. I’ve almost caught it twice, but I’ve always missed it.
