Paging @Johnny Sorrow (and anyone else but i have to think he's the man to ask): for years, I swore I hated jam bands and especially the Dead. Lately I've been enjoying their studio recordings.  It's making me want to branch out. Where should I start with Phish?

Really couldn't tell you. I've never been a huge Phish fan, but I liked  A Picture of Nectar.

Phish isn’t really my area of deep knowledge since it took me a while to get into them. (In the jam world, I’ve mostly been into the Dead, Umphrey’s, Goose, Billy Strings, and Greensky.)

There’s a lot of Phish material available through streaming without needing LivePhish. They do have some free shows there, too. There’s also quite a bit on Nugs if you have a subscription.

The Island Tour from 4/2–4/5/98 is often talked about in the same way Deadheads reference May ’77.

Their 10/31/94 Halloween show is one of the most famous since they performed The White Album in full.

The Clifford Ball is available on streaming and is generally very well regarded.

The Baker’s Dozen shows at MSG are also great listens, and Big Cypress (12/31/99) is legendary, though it doesn’t have an official release. You’d have to find it on ReListen.

I also think their current run has been really strong. The shows I’ve heard from this year sound fantastic.

Ah! Okay. For some reason I thought you'd mentioned them before.  Sorry about that.

No problem. I like Phish just fine, but to be honest I'm not a huge jamband guy besides the Dead. I find that so many of them try and emulate the jamming part of the Dead but lack the lyrical punch of their songs. There's a bit of darkness and ruggedness to the Dead that so many of those bands don't have.  I do love Widespread Panic, however.

Yeah, I get that. I haven't gotten to the live aspect of the Dead yet but I'm really enjoying Workingman's Dead.

This is such a good album cover for a drug record

ACK that was meant for the hip hop thread. Oh well.

EDIT II: I just realized that the brother of the two sitting on top of the stove looks like like Slim Charles from The Wire haha

There is now a second filing against UMG: https://www.billboard.com/pro/drake-second-legal-action-umg-iheart-pay-for-play-defamation/

UMG also distributes Drake's music so clearly there is no way this could blow back on him.

Drake's lawsuits have officially been dismissed.  

 

lol

I had totally forgotten this song was by Wang Chung.
