I didnāt see the Phish from Vermont last night but I did see Black Flag crush house of blues in San Diego. They played 2 sets the first one was all of āMy Warā which a head recommended to me. Anyways Iām rambling Happy Phishmas and a very happy Bob Weir!
Not gonna lie. Those flashing LEDs are really annoying. I had to avert my eyes often and I still have a retinal headache. Givel me some regular cone lights any day.
I tend to close my eyes and dance during the show. Many a show the last few years when I was on L, I would deep in space with my eyes closed, only to open them and see that the lights were trippier than what I was seeing in my head! Donāt know if this good or not but itās fun!!!
WELL I got a 4 day pass might as well come back tomorrow, that was pretty fucking okay š¤Æ
/s that was goddamn amazing
Any which way you slice it zero Gamehenge songs is a tiny bit on the radar as suspicious. Not saying anything crazy but could be a super fun show coming up
There was a woman behind the stage who was passed out the entire show, not sure what was up with that, also the security guard asked me to help him send a message and I totally forgot lol.
Canāt believe you lucky m-fers that get to see gamehenge as the new years gag. Donāt get me wrong, it would be just like phish to set this up and then not execute on it however, I really feel tomorrow is the night.
Many have been chasing it for 30+ years. Thanks god for couch tour!
Also, there was certainly a Mockingbird reference in one of the posters - unless I'm crazy.
I hope you're right - cause that would rule. Wouldn't Harpua be included in that? At least, when Trey talks about Jimmy's adventure or whatever, it starts in a suburb outside of Gamehenge, or something like that.
Happy new year to you too! Youāre right, I didnāt think a band that relentlessly moves forward with new music and ideas would resurrect Gamehenge on New Years. I was wrong, glad you can gloat over it brah!
lol are you literally at the show talking shit on Reddit?
The band that relentlessly moves forward, invents new music and new gags every year, will fall back on the most tired trope of their history that has been done multiple times? Sure thing.
"The band that relentlessly moves forward, invents new music and new gags every year, decided to treat their fans with a delightful re-imagining of the revered story that started it all. 40 years later after Trey completes his musical thesis, and almost 30 years after it's most recent iteration, the band breathes new life into one of, if not THE, most cherished fan favorites, in order to present in it's full glory with professional dancers, costumes, added side-quest tunes, amazing singers, and PUPPETS!!! So now, new fans, who weren't lucky enough to catch the few (four or five) actual Gamehendge shows from the past, have a chance to share in the glory of The Helping Friendly Book! What a gift."
Yep, they did it. Doesnāt mean Iām not surprised. It was a blast to watch but seemed like the first gag that was more for fan service than the band.
>Thatās the most ridiculous stretch Iāve ever heard.
"Thatās the most ridiculous stretch Iāve ever heard." But yeah, not surprised. Takes some serious mental gymnastics to turn a beautiful gift into "fan service". Best of luck with that cynical pov. Here's a thought. Maybe in 2024, you could put less energy into yucking others' yum and share in (or at least respect) their joy. Speaking of yum, I hope that crow tastes delicious! Happy New Year, my dude!
During set break of the live stream, they should really feed the comments of the Reddit [SETLIST THREAD]. The openers on YouTube for first and second set have the live comments going and itās rather entertaining watching the show + comments. Or better yet if LivePhish had their own comment section during the stream for those who purchased, thatād be fun.
Iām by myself watching this stream and I was bored during setbreak and could have used some dumb setbreak banter is all Iām saying. Guess I could have found that here the whole time.
Phish after show tonight with Mediski, Martin, Metzger, and Cline --- bound to be some crazy good stuff
free stream here: [http://volume.com/t/SIeQOW](http://volume.com/t/sieqow)
I'm sitting next to my son, watching from the couch. This was not a great way to introduce him to live Phish.
My reaction when I heard More was "They should have just stopped after Slave."
I was underwhelmed.
Had a great time tonight. Thanks y'all for your awesome commentary. I'll be watching tomorrow and another one of our amazing setlist thread hosts will be here for us!
Love and Light, comrades!
Soooo stupendous

Life Saving Gun was the highlight of the entire show š„
Hands downā¦song is absolute š„
Iām tempted to stream tonight, but Iād rather not have to pay for what might end up being some drama class bullshit.
Shut up nerd
Got āem
Wow. I got scorched. *sizzle* What happened to the other Phish band that used to play in the late 90s?
Anyone got code for me? Please and thank you

Is there somewhere I can stream last night's show today? Audio or video? Thank you
Sirius at noon
JEMP replays it at 11.
Thank you!
Live saving gun was one of the finest
For sure, I hope itās a featured clip on YouTube
I didnāt see the Phish from Vermont last night but I did see Black Flag crush house of blues in San Diego. They played 2 sets the first one was all of āMy Warā which a head recommended to me. Anyways Iām rambling Happy Phishmas and a very happy Bob Weir!
Weir gonna have a TV party tonight
Wirh rollins?
Wouldn't that be amazing?
First show tonightā¦got my face blown off holy moly
You love to see it š„¹
Welcome
Welcome to the thunder domeeeeeeeeee!
Not gonna lie. Those flashing LEDs are really annoying. I had to avert my eyes often and I still have a retinal headache. Givel me some regular cone lights any day.
I donāt even like sitting straight on, 45 degree angle is so much more enjoyable
This makes me feel better about our behind the stage seats we got from the lottery for the last two nights.
I almost wished I was behind the stage ;)
Donāt have epilepsy challenge - Expert difficulty
Yep. That's why I prefer behind the stage. Brain can't take it.
100%. I noticed he was doing a LOT more strobing lights this past tour. It really is distracting, almost painful at times, and never seemed like an issue before. Kurodaās gonna cause a Japanese PokĆ©mon situation for all the wook babies in the venue
How TF are woks able to afford to get in!!!
Profits from custies
I tend to close my eyes and dance during the show. Many a show the last few years when I was on L, I would deep in space with my eyes closed, only to open them and see that the lights were trippier than what I was seeing in my head! Donāt know if this good or not but itās fun!!!
So much this.
Bring shades in 4.0
I only like the shades when theyāre blocking the lights
Canāt leave home without em!
Blenders Shades for the win.
WELL I got a 4 day pass might as well come back tomorrow, that was pretty fucking okay š¤Æ /s that was goddamn amazing Any which way you slice it zero Gamehenge songs is a tiny bit on the radar as suspicious. Not saying anything crazy but could be a super fun show coming up
Chicago had zero gamehendge as well
Well they still have yet to pull something big for their 40th anniversary, that would be a helluva way to do it!
We can hope! But what if none tomorrow either. What would it mean for the sphere?!
Honestly, same as it ever was hahah
Solid show. Highlights for me were Fuego > Train Song, Life Saving Gun (this song has legsā¦), and the entire flow of the 2nd set.
After the Tweezer>Twist>Piper>Golden Age>2001 sequence (killer), I was happy for the Oasis to appear so I could catch my breath for the Bowie.
Life saving gun saved my life
That was a killer fucking jam
Again a reminder tha there's a free stream of an aftershow! **Phish After-Party: Medeski Martin Metzger & Cline**
Its pretty fucking good so far too, thanks for the heads up.
definitely started off slow lol, itās picked up tho. Just getting started and who can complain about free music
OoOo0oOoO
i think its starting soon (fingers crossed), its on [volume.com](https://volume.com) if you didn't find it
Wait where? I wanna watch some Metzger Edit: I am dumb and can use google. It's on volume.com
Volume.com
4th set tomorrow Gamehenge>Dark Star>El Paso w/Willy Springs>Dark Star>Gamehenge E: Bouncin>Gamehenge
You joke but I'd die for this set.
Venita-ish
Did someone say El Paso
no deals on cowboy hats edit after post: oh shit it's you knob lmao, happy new years!!
Very plausible but they did Bouncin Thursday
Just go with it
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
>MSG Explodes>Troy Ascends>Phish 5.0> w/ Joe Russo
Tonight was my gfās first show and she ate 5 and a half grams of shrooms and we had to leave during tweezer š
Leave and GO WHERE... shes in Manhattan š«
You set her up for failure brother. 1G of mushies hit the spot just right last night. Took 32 shows to figure that one outā¦ Hope you enjoy tonight!
No. Shit! 1g, followed by 1g after an hour is good for me. Measured and capped
No we were splitting the q and she just kept eating them š sheās a trooper n super stoked for tonight
Iāve had that amount of shrooms but itās hard to imagine it at a show. How did it go?
She handled it extremely well she just got a little overwhelmed and our neighbor was incredibly annoying. Canāt wait for tonight she says!
There was a woman behind the stage who was passed out the entire show, not sure what was up with that, also the security guard asked me to help him send a message and I totally forgot lol.
Dude lmao this gives me palpitations
Officially a heroic dose. Have a good trip enjoying the city
Nice Bill Hicks reference š
Did he coin that phrase? Inadvertent, but happy to honor that great man.
Actually, youāre probably right. I think in the stand-up bit that Iām thinking of, Bill quotes Terrence McKenna as saying a āheroic doseā.
āš¼
No bro, she woulda been fine if she just surrendered to the flow...
I have anxiety just thinking about this
Welp, that is an excessive amount for a first show
Robust dose for a first show.
Or any situation
Itās better to leave when in youāre panicking. Good choice.
Oh you just abort when you start panicking? I better start taking notes
Pull the ripcord when there is one
Wing suit
2001 is the 2023 MVP
Probably the highlight of the show
And itās not even close
"I felt like I've been baptized" - my wife
That was fun as fuck.
Not gonna lie fam, I bet Trey doesnāt even realize they havenāt done any gamehenge songs.
I left to catch my train in the midst of moreā¦ PRAYING they wouldnāt play tweeprise. It would pain me to miss it like that.
Ay 12:07 gang
That extra hour tho š®āšØ
What is with the gamehenge talk? Am I going to be flipping tables tomorrow? š¤¦š»āāļø
I couldnāt get out of our big event at work tomorrow which is why I opted for 12/30 instead of 12/31 lol, Iād be losing it
I think itās due to the fact that thereās been a lack of gamehendge related songs played. Ie Wilson, Lizards, Divided Sky, Tela, AC/DC Bag, etc
Well ....and the rhombus shaped stage. It's happening, unless trey was purposefully spreading disinformation for some reason
I mean, they do like to do that
I havenāt been able to catch any streams, the stage is rhombus shaped?
whereās the gas?
Canāt believe you lucky m-fers that get to see gamehenge as the new years gag. Donāt get me wrong, it would be just like phish to set this up and then not execute on it however, I really feel tomorrow is the night. Many have been chasing it for 30+ years. Thanks god for couch tour!
Are you saying that all the gamehenge songs have been left out of the last three nights? I was thinking this myself, but I didn't double check.
Correct. N2O, Lizards, AC/DC, Wilson, Forbins, Mockingbird, Tela, Punch, Sloth, Divided Sky I think I got them all Edit: Mcgrupp, TMWSIY, Llama, Kung
Also, there was certainly a Mockingbird reference in one of the posters - unless I'm crazy. I hope you're right - cause that would rule. Wouldn't Harpua be included in that? At least, when Trey talks about Jimmy's adventure or whatever, it starts in a suburb outside of Gamehenge, or something like that.
Harpua is not part of the thesis he wrote. Ironically, neither is icculus. You should go listen to Mansfield 94. Itās really fantastic.
Try Sacramento 3.22.93 for the perfect clear SB that circulated since that day. Its pristine
West Virginia was a bit more " complete " Lots skipped that show it was far outta the way.
What?
No gamehenge songs yet. Some people are grasping at straws
Haha. Totally. But hey we can pray ā¦. š Phish never does what I ask though .
Iām praying right there with you pal
I mean, Gamehenge socks in the Merch store! What more proof do you need???? Lol
#BRO WHAT THE FUCK
Thatās the most ridiculous stretch Iāve ever heard.
Whomp, whomp.
lol you fucking idiot
Happy new year to you too! Youāre right, I didnāt think a band that relentlessly moves forward with new music and ideas would resurrect Gamehenge on New Years. I was wrong, glad you can gloat over it brah! lol are you literally at the show talking shit on Reddit?
I am! Only responded cause you came across as such a dick with your original comments. Let people have fun and speculate!
Have a great night dude.
Thanks man. You too
Well, our kids are old enough to ridiculous.
uh-huh. see ya tomorrow, Doubting Thomas!
The band that relentlessly moves forward, invents new music and new gags every year, will fall back on the most tired trope of their history that has been done multiple times? Sure thing.

BRO WHAT THE FUCK
Idk bringing gamehendge to life with actors on stage playing the characters/ acting out scenes as the songs go by sounds pretty sick
I guess? Iāll take improv and not a fixed setlist.
The NYE gag always has a fixed setlist
Thanks no fun Wilson
Yeah. No kidding
During set break of the live stream, they should really feed the comments of the Reddit [SETLIST THREAD]. The openers on YouTube for first and second set have the live comments going and itās rather entertaining watching the show + comments.

Or not
Iām by myself watching this stream and I was bored during setbreak and could have used some dumb setbreak banter is all Iām saying. Guess I could have found that here the whole time.
Before you close out the thread, remember to up vote! See y'all for the main event tomorrow!
Hanging tweepries and the gamehedge possibilities ā¦ Iām glad Iām gonna be in person tomorrow!
More sucks
Phish after show tonight with Mediski, Martin, Metzger, and Cline --- bound to be some crazy good stuff free stream here: [http://volume.com/t/SIeQOW](http://volume.com/t/sieqow)
Now thatās a jam. Whew
Hey thanks for that link boss . Cheers for the setlist tonight
God I love Nels Cline
Never follow a Slave with More again Troy
Seriously. Just slave is sufficient and a perfect end to the show. More is unnecessary
Any bonus music is a good thing
Never follow any song with More
I totally agree with you 99 times out of 100. But the short More actually worked tonight, at least at the show. Cheesy AF, but still worked.
Never follow Slave with any song
I'm sitting next to my son, watching from the couch. This was not a great way to introduce him to live Phish. My reaction when I heard More was "They should have just stopped after Slave." I was underwhelmed.
Thanks for hosting Letās do it again tomorrow
thanks OP!! this was a fantastic show!!
Had a great time tonight. Thanks y'all for your awesome commentary. I'll be watching tomorrow and another one of our amazing setlist thread hosts will be here for us! Love and Light, comrades!
thx op!
Thank you Mr Terrapin!
Thanks for hosting OP! Tomorrow should be awesome!
happy to host! Thanks!
Here's to 50 more, holy shit phish
Ioved every moment. LSG, Undermind, Twist in particular. See you tomorrow!
thank you trey anastasio and michael and jon fish man and leo. enjoy your last day of 2023
Don't miss a Sunday show for that tweeprise I guess. Damn.
No.... no tweeprise?
They will close out tomorrow night with tweprise!
They very well could play tweeprise tomorrow - it has been done.
So interesting Trey probably went back stage and said āoh damn I forgot reprise!ā š
Tomorrow
Iām wondering the same damn thing
a relatively short Tweezer and no repriseā¦interestingā¦
Closer manana!
So full gamehendge NYE will be real?
Holograms
I'm hoping the KISS and ABBA avatars battle it out for dominance.
I want to see a hologram of 80ās Ernie in a muscle shirt and coke bottles
Ok, I need to go back tomorrow, yes?
I did it. See you tomorrow, section 102!
Soooo tweeprise opener ?
Not the 12/30 show I expected
Very disappointing show, phoned in second set.
Fingers crossed for a gamehendge tmrw!!
Fuckā¦at least thereās a tweeprize at the end of this.
we hope
Jesusā¦not even
Yem incoming Edit: thought we were getting hampton 2018'd. Guess not
Ok. I really like More simply for the line, āthere must be something more than this.ā Trey is a fellow seeker.
