Any Jam Band fans

Phish at the Garden last night was Lit! This marked my 132nd Phish show. Have attended a bunch of their New Years gigs over the last twenty something years and those are always my favorite shows. Last night's gag was pretty elaborate (as always). During the 3rd set, a swarm of colorful band member "clones" appeared and performed synchronized dancing & choral flourishes while the 'actual' band members levitated up and down on individual platforms. The highlight of the set was unplanned and a bit strange. Trey's platform malfunctioned and he remained "stuck" high above the stage. There was a long uncomfortable pause after "First Tube" as we waited for him to be lowered down. After a few minutes, it became evident there there was some sort of malfunction and he wasn't going anywhere. In Typical Trey Fashion, he cracked jokes about his predicament and finally said "Fuck it! I'm going to play the rest of the set from up here!" And he did, and he absolutely slayed for the next 45 minutes or so while dangling precariously above. At the end of the set, they had to send rescuers up to bring him down. He improvised a song on the spot called "Rescue Squad" while they worked to get him down.

What an unforgettable night!

Stuck above, Making Lemonade and rolling with it like a rockstar!

Levon Helm passed away. My very close friend started up the Mid Night rambles for him back in the day. They were very close friends till the end of his life. My first experience meeting The Band dates back to 1995 at the Electric Factory in Philly. We were on stage for that one.

Levon on Robbie Robertson... " I wouldn't piss in asshole if his guts were on fire"

This is what you see first when hitting up a Ramble. They are at Levon’s home. If you havent been then certainly worth looking into.
The irony is hilarious...
