I think they showed quick clips of it under the narrative. There was also something that I think was an outtake of some sort, with these 9 year old kids talking about their religious acid experiences.
Here's that clip: http://youtube.com/watch?v=_V4K7FepKw4 EDIT: Here's the whole thing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=89S_o7fOwpA |

Hands down? Whatever. You need to be on Phish board, jokerhead. Sonic Youth slays them like nobody's business. The Jesus Lizard, Camper Van Beethoven, the actual Talking Heads & many others are better live as well. I never saw Talking Heads live in the flesh, just on video & on bootlegs & they were great. You mentioned some of their happenin' covers & I like their taste in music & their live shows were fun, & certainly nobody's doubting that they can run circles around the tritonic, but I saw Phish more times that most people & I saw them for $3 when they jumped on mini-trampolines all the time. By the time I stopped seeing them when they came through Athens (which they did so much you would have thought they were a local band) they were charging $6. I distinctly remembering listening to them outside when they were up to charging $10. I have fond memories of over at a dealer's place who lived adjacent to Widepread Panic's practice space & we would make fun of them & listen to something like Sonic Youth, Ween, Stereolab or Mudhoney & blast it loud enough that we couldn't hear those creepy fucks. |
Yup. The band started a tradition on Halloween '94 of playing a "musical costume" during the second set of a three set show to celebrate the holiday.
The first and second year, they took votes from the fans. Both years "Joe's Garage" by Frank Zappa won by landslides. However, in Frank's will, he stipulated that he requested that two of the songs on that album were to never be played live again. In deference to that request, Phish played The Beatles "The White Album" in a four and a half hour concert at Glens Falls, NY that let out at about 2 am. The next year in Chicago they played The Who's "Quadrophenia" In 1996, I saw them play "Remain in Light" in Atlanta. In 1998, they played The Velvet Underground's "Loaded" in Las Vegas (the last halloween show). The show after the Las Vegas show in Utah (11/2/98), Phish decided that they didn't play enough covers the previous show, and played Pink Floyd's "Darkside of the Moon" in its entirety during the second set. Man, I miss Phish. |

They never really "slayed" in my opinion until 1994 when they made the transition to Arenas. Before then they were just a damn good bar band. Hands down the best band I've seen live, and I've seen SY live quite a few times. SY has never even remotely gotten to the level live that Phish has. Of course, it might be because I've seen Phish play ambient noise at 3 in the morning from the top of an unused Air Traffic Control tower while contortionists and acrobats were spinning around it....and I've seen phish play from midnight until sunrise straight. And, they never stopped jumping on trampolines. At their last show, they gave away their current set of tramps away to the crowd. |

i thought you were only about 16.... did your parents take you to that show in 96? |

Heh. If Trey (phish's guitarist) would have been there, he would have loved it. Ween, Stereolab, Mudhoney and Sonic Youth are among his favorite bands. I said the last 20 years, and the Talking Heads were no longer playing live together in 1986. Trey A. was also fond of saying in the 90's that Steve Malkmus was his favorite guitarist. And David Byrne gave Trey props on their rendition of the Talking Heads (apparantly he was at the 1996 show) and said that they did a better job on it than the Heads ever could have (including playing the three songs from the album the Talking Heads never attempted to play live), and saying that he was in awe the entire time. Widespread Panic sucks monkey balls. |

i didn't say you said your age, it's just what i imagined, especially after you phoned chris habib.

Yeah, I did the math wrong on Talking Heads. I was thinking that I did but you quoted me before I could go back & change that hehe.
Like I wrote before, I like Phish's taste in music. They also do some good to great truly post-modern lyrics writing & the live shows were fun. Talking Heads struggled to pull off what they did musically. At most shows they were hunched over their instruments instensely concentrating, because they are artists first, ultimately. Early on, Talking Heads surrounded themselves with great musicians to take on the road with them & they learned sooo much during that time. Being true artists, they of course naturally soak up everything like a sponge with a wellspring of passionate enthusiasm. |
Phish sucks. It's a band for washed up hippies.
|
Yeah, I just don't like the shit they get. I can understand the shit the Grateful Dead gets (even tho I think they are awesome) because their lyrics are Hippy Dippy (imo).
When people call Phish hippy dippy, I find they don't really know much about the band. Especially people who love Frank Zappa and the Talking Heads. If Frank Zappa and the heads got together and had a child, they'd sound a lot like Phish. |
i am snoring as we speak.

I like hippies.

I never phoned Chris. Schizo did the first time, and someone else (or she did again) the second time. |

The "converstaton" still isn't back to her & she's growing ever more restless. Just be like me & slap volume three into the disc playa, sista. If that doesn't cure ya----- then you need help. |
i really don't care to get in depth about phish.

yeahyeah, whatever. |
I know...rrrrrigggghhhht.
That is cool as hell that you got to see Phish in their club days. I've yet to see a bar band grow into a sensation (I thought the Disco Biscuits might...but I think they got washed out by the ecstasy and groupies). What's life like in the mountains? |

Well then do what we do when you post pictures of your trollish visage... skip to the next thread! |

That's not nice or accurate really. Nice use of the word "visage" though. Quote:
Pardon me It was up in the mountains. We had this ceremony every year. We had it and everyone from miles around came in for it. Cousins, aunts, uncles, and the kids. Grandmothers, grandfathers ... everyone. And we set it up around this big natural pool. With pine trees and palm trees. All the trees were there. And we had thousands of those big urns--you know the kind. And everyone would dance and sing, and it lasted for three days. Everyone cooked and looked forward to it all the year. Well one year, we were in the middle of it, and I was just a boy at the time. Anyway, it was evening, and suddenly a whole lot of tigers came in. I don’t know where they came from. They rushed in, snarling, and knocked over all the urns, and it was really a mess. Well, we spent the whole next year rebuilding everything. But in the middle of the ceremony the next time the same thing happened. These tigers rushed in again and broke everything and then went back into the mountains. This must have gone on four or five years this way--rebuilding and then the tigers would come and break everything. We were getting used to it. Finally we had a meeting and decided to make these tigers part of the ceremony--you know--to expect them. We began to put food in the urns, so the tigers would have something to eat. Not much at first ... crackers, things like that. Then later we put more food until finally we were saving our food all year for the tigers. Then one year, the tigers didn’t come. They never came back. |
Ok. I should have said "I" not "We". I apologize.

If the intent was to scathe, that certainly qualifies, & you see the effects...I think she really retired from this thread. Good God, can one imagine what Daddylikes would have written about emma blowgun? |
i've drank 3 or 4 times and smoked pot once.

I actually liked Emma...I find Cantankerous' self absorbtion to be a tad too much of turn off. For example in this thread, she said once that she was bored by talk of Phish, and once was enough. She then went on to make the same post every time that I posted about Phish and I found it to be a tad over the top and annoying. So I went on the offensive. If she doesn't like fighting back, she shouldn't pick the fight to begin with. And, if she really did have somewhere to be, I'm glad I gave her the motivation to be on time. I'm sure she doesn't really care regardless. But yeah, I never knew Emma to be self absorbed (but maybe I wasn't paying attention). |
I've written it before that I strongly caution against any drug or alcohol use that leads to abuse for anyone with a lower than gifted (120) I.Q.
finding nobody, I think you're intelligent enough to be able to do drugs (whether or not you do them is obviously your own business), I would just warn that hard drugs indeed are bad (as you still instinctually still know). |
Quote:
I liked Emma also. I didn't realize you'd been around that long. I too find Cantankerous' self-absorption tedious at times, but we are on a message board, thus, every one of us that posts regularly is self-absorbed to some degree. |

Pretty much so. If you do LSD, I think you've pretty much signed a waiver that you are willing to take the possibility that you might be insane for the rest of your life.

Quote:
Yes (with a "but"), I do consider LSD a "hard" drug. But, like I wrote before, "any use that leads to abuse", so I think it's only right that one experiment some with LSD & it's well-known that LSD use sometimes leads to an overly extended dalliance for a time, but rarely does it lead to addiction. So, it's not a hard drug like coke, meth, smack, etc., but the effect of the drug is as powerful as what are more commonly referred to as "hard drugs." |
chilling out and recording with some herbal essences (?) and a bottle of shiraz.
|
oh, we're back on topic now.
What's up with you, Massenvernichtungswaffen, besides "chilling out and recording with some herbal essences (?) and a bottle of shiraz?" That sounds nice, but share something else please as we kill time until Sonic Youth plays. Describe or post what you've recorded maybe for instance. die Massenvernichtungswaffen sind bald abzuschießen! --- The weapons of mass destruction will be soon shot down! That's highly unlikely. |
