Phish shows are definitely "events". And they never do the same set list twice and their catalogue is MASSIVE so each show is guaranteed to be different.Originally posted by Gregg View PostIf DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it.

I know there are a lot of Bob Dylan fans in here. I read a description of his show a couple nights ago, and found the description powerful.
Hard to sum up the Dylan show last night, but in short it was great, for all the reasons big music shows are usually not. It was layer upon layer of weirdness, a sense of dramatics somewhere between kabuki and Artaud's theater of cruelty. The show was emotionally exhausting. A lot of the time I had trouble even fathoming what I was seeing: that this is Dylan up there presenting all this amazing material, in 2019. The way he moves around on stage is fascinating and unsettling. I honestly think he's the only one who is truly writing about the current predicament we are in. (I can't believe he does this every night.) The audience was great because they were very quiet, although I think 90% of them were quiet because they couldn't figure out what they were seeing. Basically, 2700 people are in one place pretending what they are watching is normal, when it is anything but. It's hard to explain, and if you are only listening to the concert audio you're not going to get it, it's entirely a live manifestation and it has practically nothing to do with entertainment, although it has everything to do with the music. I hadn't seen a show in two years--I skipped last tour because I'd seen a lot of shows and they are expensive so I took a year off. We are in a whole different place now. The shows have gotten much more tenuous and ethereal and for the first time I realized that this is a very old person on stage. Bob's youthfulness and vitality has always covered that up, but no longer. There are moments when he is center stage in the lights where you see a shaky and fragile side one never saw before. This band is the best he's had in many years and the change of drummer is a real good thing. Charlie Sexton's playing is first rate, and I felt Bob was playing off him much of the night, the eye contact was pretty constant. Magnificent set list. My favorites: Can't Wait, always a tremendous song and performance, in a measured and trippy arrangement, full of slowed down verses, stops, and echo thrown on the voice here and there. A radically different arrangement of Masterpiece. Early Roman Kings seems like it was written last week based on what's happening in Washington DC. Not Dark Yet, Tryin' To Get To Heaven, lots of dark songs. (I didn't even recognize Thunder on the Mountain.) His harp playing is now the one place where you get his energy undiminished so all the solos were exceptional. Ending the show with It Takes a Lot to Laugh, It Takes a Train to Cry was brilliant, because it's not remotely a show-ender, like Watchtower or Like a Rolling Stone. I got the sense that Bob was aware he might be winding down. It had a quality of valediction about it. I came to tell everybody, but I could not get across. When I left the theater at 10pm there was a vast caravan of trucks pulling all the floats and giant balloons for the Macy's parade, a good two miles long, with full police escort. All the dragons and dinosaurs and Snoopy & the Jolly Green Giant, in pieces on flat bed trucks. It was quite a sight. Like something out of Masked & Anonymous. Don't say I didn't warn you, when your train gets lost.Larry David was once being heckled, long before any success. Heckler says "I'm taking my dog over to fuck your mother, weekly." Larry responds "I hate to tell you this, but your dog isn't liking it."Comment
