I hope Dickey and Jerry already have a cosmic jam session planned. Godspeed Ramblin Man

....for Anti-Trust violations. Wow ! Sounds great, right? What a headline! Down with Cartels! I'm no sage but here's how this is likely to go: The case will be heard in 2026, any unfavorable findings will be appealed. In 2028, instead of Live Nation being broken apart, they will agree to establish a 10M fund as reparations to the ticket-buying public. After the attorneys get their cut, you can choose to receive a check for $7.26 or receive it as a $10 credit for your next Live Nation ticket purchase. Boy - I sure would love to be wrong on this one.

My guess is the US gov wants a bigger cut to continue to look the other way. still I’m hoping it improves things but when one super corrupt organization investigates a 2nd super corrupt organization, selfishly I don’t see things getting better for me. 😆🤣

Set 2: Sand (20), Tweezer (26) -> My Friend, My Friend*(9) > Mike's Song (9) > Lifeboy (10), Weekapaug Groove (7) > Blaze On (10) > Fluffhead (15) Encore: Farmhouse (8), Run Like an Antelope (10) Notes: *Unfinished Visuals were great but the U2 video production was clearly better. Not a knock from me - Phish just didn’t go nuts with theirs. Sound and performance were both excellent .

so far… Set 1: (Start: 8:03 , End:) Everything's Right (14), Back on the Train (8) Wolfman's Brother (17), Maze (9) Leaves (9), Life Saving Gun (17), Dirt (5), Carini (11) Visually stunning ⚡️ Don’t know most of these but set 1 was something else

The reason this is being even brought forward is the Taylor swift ticket backlash. Umm 1 million peeps were trying to get 50k tickets. Demand greatly overwhelmed supply but Ticketmaster is the villain. I’m no fan of Ticketmaster but the Taylor swift stuff was pure market capitalism at work. Likely 50% saw dollar signs with no interest in the concert wanting to get rich reselling as people who see 1 concert a year will pay anything. We decided against deadco at the Sphere out of principle. Not paying $350-450 for 1 ticket to 1 show. Just not doing it. Nothing is that important to me. I’ll go pop a $15 hyryder show up and back. As soon as we both saw those sphere prices we said naw. No view of the screen was $250. That’s the reason I’d care about even going is for the visuals. If I come in to $5 mil I ain’t spending 900 on a pair of tix for 1 night to any concert.

Some years you don’t see any huge collapses then some years you do and it’s usually at amen corner and this year it took out 3 of the top 4.

Cubensis members are squeezing out some lemonade too.

Love seeing all this unplanned events rising up out of the ashes…!

You are correct sir and the sequence you mention is stellar. I actually listen to that show often as my Friday morning finish off the week show at work, great Dew also. After this a discussion of best Sugaree is in order

Saw that plane. We had a little over 3 minutes totality where I was in Indiana. Great camping weekend with the eclipse to top it off. I'd post a couple picks if I knew how

Caught Garcia Project twice last week…had a blast steeped in some gorgeous jgb…they did a 76 and then an 83,,both super well done…definitely ready for more of these guys. Had seen them once but felt like they’re going deeper now…great vibes. if you’re craving some squeaky clean jgb, go check them out when they come around 😉

A “like” somehow seems inappropriate but you have to do something to show how much he meant.
