I'm going to miss listening to y'all SO much, but it also did seem like a TON of work. So very understandable. Good luck in all your grad school endeavors!

Just want to praise this post lol. I def noticed the absence & was wondering if I spaced out for the first one.

@hfpod.bsky.social If I can gather the strength, I'd like to read a shorter version of this on a voice mail. I know some of your listeners knew Jeff.

Agreed. Fall 1997 is the best tour of all time too. 😀

Yeah I agree w you. But I blame the immediate fan backlash to the song in 2016 (why I wrote this then). I trace it to the late 90s—when SOTG came out they played Guyute more & fans just wanted “the jamz.” I wish the fanbase was more welcoming of new compositional material. medium.com/the-phish-fr...

Amazing thanks!

Also: I won't subject y'all to ANOTHER Petrichor voicemail, but let me say 'orchestral' songs do def have their place at a (Phish) rock show. Divided Sky? Guyute? Reba/Fluff have 'fugues' ala Bach. This is Phish! (prog tradition!) You can not LIKE Petrichor (OK!), but not say it doesn't belong.

nice! ... I took your computed '# of 20/25 minute jams per show' stat and put into these simple bar plots ... just to help visualize

my gosh ... 2021, 2024, and 2025

OK, I did something really nerdy with Brian's numbers of 20 and 25 minute jams. Please let him know! 😅 (I also did this *very quickly* because I'm currently slammed, so there might be mistakes).

I want to stick up for Drift While You're Sleeping. Sure, the Franti section is cringe, but we must encourage Trey to continue to write difficult composed music (my thoughts on Petrichor: medium.com/the-phish-fr...).

I love the Drift composed parts!

PS: Megan nailed it: Twist was the highlight!
