I love this so much! As someone who happened to catch Jerry and the boys around 400 times between 1976 and 1995, I feel it. Every word of it.
I’m so happy for you! Only slightly green with envy. I also am 10 hours from Denver in the north west corner of Missouri and Phish is my let it all hang out, connect with my people space at the moment. You couldn’t be in the worst spot. They did one, two night show in Denver. Otherwise, on the coasts.
Exactly. I’m on a jam band show drought at the moment. I need to talk to the youngsters. I’m sure there are some quality musicians out there that I am ignorant of. That’s kind of depressing to you. Imagine how good they will be 30 years from now when I’m gone. 🤣😂🤣🙈
I try to do anything I can whether it’s one or 101.
Last summer I caught Robert Plant and Alison Krauss. Alicia Keys and Jack White. I’m super grateful. Currently striking out this year. Can’t hardly do inside shows anymore which makes the winter tough. You have to go south Florida or Arizona. The closest I’ve ever came to a bad trip was at the Hilton Coliseum in Ames, Iowa. Where the cyclones basketball happens. The seats are covered with red velvet in the zigzag, crushed pattern, and the Farm Bureau ladies are the ushers. I just could not trip in front of Grandma and those seats were crawling everywhere. Halfway through the second set and I had to exit. Shame on me. It was Phish. 🤷♂️🙈
At least I had enough points for a really posh hotel! 🤣🤪
I don’t know what was going on that day. We had been to a wedding in Kansas City Missouri October then drove to Ames Iowa it was 40° colder but still daylight. For some reason they left the house lights on it was just too much. Just reinforced what I should’ve already realized. I’m an outside guy. But, the fish rarely plays the Midwest. I’m surprised it couldn’t hang in there. It wasn’t like I was wearing nothing but beads and Birkenstocks. Too chilly for that.🤣

From time to time, Adulting sucks . 😉🫵💪, 🫶🫵
I wish I could get out as much as Kela and Paul. I have to live these experiences through their videos and articles. Better than nothin’!

We still try to do one festival a year, usually Electric Forest.
We’ll hit some shows in the cities if we got time, and if it’s local it’s much easier.
Kids make things that like a challenge 😅
That’s the one we had a conversation about a while back? That’s only a 5 1/2 Hour drive from the home place. I’m really gonna try to make that!!
Lost Lands is in Ohio. It’s ran by Excision, a prominent EDM artist.
The one we were talking about was our local festival called Four Winds which is in Sioux Falls SD
Adulting is tough occasionally. No matter of differences politically, I know you’re a great dad. That’s all I need to know. You’re a good man.
👊👊👊
