idk why but these videos are the fucking funniest goddamn thing to me

omg, stevie D, these are fucking great.

wtf how did you find this a year later

tbh i really wish this thread took off :(

This helped me realize why Phish isn't funky. Every beat they play, no matter what the embellishments are, sounds like this underneath everything: DUM DUM POP DUM DUM DUM POP DUM DUM DUM POP DUM DUM DUM POP DUM

this is the first time I've ever heard Phish

it's different than what I expected

wtf how did you find this a year later

The classic rock poll set me on a Phish tangent because they do a lot of covers.

i think about that phish/the grind video like monthly

so thank you

ugghhh there's some really good crowd panning footage of people at a like, phil lesh show, or like the band furthur or something... gotta find it. it was in an ampitheather and was filmed in like midafternoon, and it's hilarious

When I was a kid going to Phish shows all summer, I liked to think that I was dancing like the people in the soul train clip up above, but it was probably closer to this:

haha these are fucking hilarious

lol @ that one

i think i probably look like the lady getting phunky at most concerts unfortunately

but this is an excellent idea

I thought about doing one for Jacob's Ladder on the bus ride home so then I made it and now I cannot stop laughing.

jesus christ that was up for maybe 5 minutes before it got taken down

oh no!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2Yvto1_c-w

I still want to see Stevie D's banned clip.

Otm. These are all awesome btw. Bit sad to find out this ain't the real deal though.

amazing thread

okay here's my Jacob's Ladder video

https://vimeo.com/106349852

brilliant

Yes!

lol

I was going to spread that around to some of the phish forums, but I noticed that your vimeo account has your government name on it.

i like the dead but then recently i watched a documentary that was 70s concert footage and their fans dancing super bummed me out on them

okay here's my Jacob's Ladder video

fixed, thx for this

Nice. What Phish song is that anyway? Must be after my time.

it's 'gotta jibboo' off of Farmhouse

Ok, that's one of the ones that came up right when I was starting to not be able to take Phish anymore.

i like the dead but then recently i watched a documentary that was 70s concert footage and their fans dancing super bummed me out on them

reminds me of a UYD ep where Jonathan talks about going to a fairly recent Grateful Dead concert and buzzing out to the intensity of a fan's interpretive dancing

its an unfathomably horrific form

related video, this dude is a friend of mine lol

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ItP7oZ3be4

is that the first actual video of actual people dancing to actual Phish music posted so far

p sure thats some mountain music

haha that is absolutely positively not Phish

lmao stevie that video is so good

a friend offered me a free ticket to see phish tonight, i've never actually listened to them, will i regret taking him up on this?

on a scale of one to chong how baked do you intend to get this is important

upper end of the spectrum seems like a necessity

blast off then, and report back with ur findings

def seeing phish this year

My god, the twirling

How many glowsticks does one man need?

man people really like phish

Did you share in the groove?

I hope joe shared in the groove

I don't know, it was all fine I guess, there were like 5 minutes towards the end where I was like, "alright, I can dig how this could be a religious experience if you knew the song beforehand," but I had a hard time not feeling like a cultural tourist.

Phish is playing at the bowl. It sounds pretty tame, but there's a giant road sign on my street this week that says "PHISH SOLD OUT. NO OPEN ALCOHOL. NO TAILGATING. NO CAMPING. HAVE PHUN!"

"I don't know, it was all fine I guess, there were like 5 minutes towards the end where I was like, "alright, I can dig how this could be a religious experience if you knew the song beforehand," but I had a hard time not feeling like a cultural tourist."

yeah, that's generally what the proselytizing superfans don't get (other than that this band isn't as good as you think, and you underrate how much the crowd makes the live experience, and how equally little the crowd might be to some peoples' taste) - you usually aren't going to get off on the variations without knowing the theme (from the bottom). not that that should matter to jazzers, though they're probably not going to take this stuff seriously in the first place.

"Phish is playing at the bowl. "

Wish I were there and tempted to fly out for tomorrow night but I'll probably wait a week for SF if at all.

And I just got a call from my hotel asking where I was... (amateurs)

As far as real videos go, this one's hard to beat...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eK2yIDPMkJ8

...or parody, though this comes close...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjvuACrkeQc

...And I always get a kick out of "#1" here...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YE6bXKPoHz0

It's too bad the several-minute-long "Phish wins the world series" after-show celebration from the Halloween 2010 run got pulled, but these give a bit of the flavor...

tempted to film the phish fans walking down my street to their cars now

trey anastasio does have instantly recognizable guitar feedback tone. 'wading in the velvet sea' leaking into my living room right now. I can hear scott aukerman now.

man, the #1 dude above is great

hey, boogie on reggae woman now

Tweezer now playing as someone smokes weed outside of my apartment. They are not dancing.

Really regretting not being there right now

I think they play 3.5 hr shows. Crowd is eatin it up.

My god, the twirling

lmaoo

JoeStork otm

cannot imagine enjoying a 4 hour concert of even my favorite band btw, i tip my hat to jam band fans for loving music so much

although the way they dance does make me want to murder them

god, there's a group of people selling whip-its in the parking lot outside.

they're gas can is loud as fuck and they keep exploding balloons.

their*

u shd do one and spin around a bit maybe

i would but they might ask me for snacks if i introduce myself

wish they'd quietly smoke pot like everyone us in california

this is a special night pot will not do

not enough echos, no good for spinning

this second night crowd is much rowdier. i wonder if it's the Tuesday night crowd back again and twice as wasted.

'yo, buy me some nugs' just yelled down street. i think we've got an ilxor out there.

wonder if harris wittels is doing whip-its in my apartment complex's parking lot right now

advertising them as 'fresh cold whip-its'

to twirlersby

think someone just yelled 'am0n'!

tempted to film the phish fans walking down my street to their cars now

missed opportunity.

Neither those nitrous huffers nor Harris Wittels is who I want representing me.

The Wednesday crowd saw a much better show than the Tuesday crowd, which surely substantially overlapped.

And I still regret being in miserable NY weather rather than out there, but maybe next week...

"Seating Area and Concourses - The typical Phish audience does not mosh or body surf. They will, however, dance and twirl in any open area made available to them. This includes handicapped seating sections, balcony ramps, lobby areas, and the entire concourse. They will attempt to dance in any aisles that are not being patrolled regularly by an usher or event staff so it is important to have your staff in place before the doors are opened. If the patrons see that the ushers are being active in checking for tickets and correct seat locations they will be less likely to move into another area."

http://www.thesmokinggun.com/file/phish-backstage-rider?page=2

wow phish r narcs huh

"In order to expedite the flow of concert-goers into the venue, the pat-down process should be limited to visual and light pat-down checks. Concert-goers do not need to be patted down from head to toe, as these searches traditionally do not yield substantial amounts at Phish concerts. (Please note: this is only a pat-down, not a extended search for illegal substances.)

...

Phish fans are a peaceful, intelligent group of people who respond better to courteous, respectful requests than to aggressive bullying. It is important that all staff and security be made aware of this fact and apply it throughout the show.... It is important that local police who may be working the event are made aware of the special handling many situations require.

Ushers and security should work together to keep aisles clear of people at all times.

...

We request that, for the sake of safety, the sale of alcohol ceases after the intermission."

"Before leaving venue, the medical staff should provide to Bart Butler or John Langenstein estimated or confirmed totals of patrons treated and transported. they should also inform them of any unusual incidents that can be passed on to the medical team in the next city."

gotta tell Bart and John about the ice cold whip-its

John retired (and I wouldn't know about Bart, but imagine he hasn't been around for a while). It's a bit out of date.

this thread is over now

*twirls away*

*puts on anfernee hardaway jersey*

*and then twirls away*

perpetua? Looks like the kind of thing they'd just farm out to an intern.

You'd think a buzzfeed writer would be more sensitive about the whole plagiarism thing.

Hey Perpetua, where are our royalties?

Stevie D needs to make his way over to the attorneys thread

lol they are almost in the same order as the thread

for fuck's sake.

there is now a link to this thread at the bottom of the article, was that there before?

lol

double ffs

"it's about ethics in twirling journalism"

more like monetizing others' assemblage, but whatevs

(of still others' "original work")

how much you guys think that post is worth, maybe we can get some royalties

p sure we have copyright in the presentation/arrangement even if not in the underlying material u should know that as a lawyer and attorney

I bumped this thread I think I get a lot of money for that.

haha, would be an interesting question, does the thread pass the threshold of originality?

there's been dumber copyright infringement suits in the past

(IANAL)

nothing can match the pure rage of aggregators getting aggregated

guys here is the best part: I kind of copped the idea for this thread from a Buzzfeed article from a year and a half ago http://www.buzzfeed.com/samanthajae/14-moments-made-hilariously-better-with-phish-in-the-backgro

so it's a Buzzfeed based on a thread based on a Buzzfeed article

http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2013/091/9/c/ouroboros_by_chadoside-d604hbr.jpg

rly disappointed they bumped the MTV Grind video to the bottom of their list. v poor sequencing imo.

Stevie, that fucking rules.

lol, and check that buzzfeed content creator out

Grand thanks to OhKeePah Blog for doing holy work here. Boogie onward.

this is incredible and i really want to hear you and Ira Glass talking about it in the first 3 mins of a TAL episode

And all the incidental music is Phish

I'm Ira Glass. You are listening to This American Life on Chicago Public Radio. *"mama sing sing when she gotta jibboo" fades in*

"What happens when art imitates life... that imitates art? When you stumble into a terrifying cycle of internet content regurgitation? Stevie D joins us today to discuss just this."

wow that is the first time I have ever heard Phish

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djxnMJMPYtw

^This one is very much on purpose and not cleverly overdubbing Phish tunes on top of old aerobics/dance videos.
