We want you to be happy
Don't live inside the gloom
We want you to be happy
Come step outside your room
We want you to be happy
Cause this is your song too
Across 13 nights — from July 21 to August 6, 2017 — the Vermont jam band performed 237 distinct songs without repetition, with each night taking on a specific donut-flavored theme.
Simple Torture wrote:Here's another (and this is one of my favorite Phish songs!):
In the Gamehendge story, Wilson is a traveler from another land who arrives in Gamehendge looking to take over the entire land from the largely communist Lizards. Mighty lofty ambition for a single person, you may say, but these Lizards are pretty stupid. Wilson realizes that the Lizards rely almost entirely on the Helping Friendly Book, a single, mystical volume given to them by their god, Icculus, and that contains all of the knowledge inherent in the universe. Wilson is a keen thinker, and he steals the book, putting the Lizards at his mercy. He swings his heavy, domineering hand in vicious, sadistic circles over the entire land of Gamehendge. He tears down a huge chunk of the forest and builds an immense, glowering castle, naming the city that encircles it Prussia. He enslaves the Lizards both physically and mentally, and maintains this control by stowing the Helping Friendly Book in the highest tower of his new castle. At one point, Wilson hangs a young revolutionary for treason. This young rebel was Roger, the son of Errand Woolf, the leader of the rebellion against Wilson. The song "Wilson” is sung (read: angrily yelled) from the viewpoint of Errand Woolf, in a fit of rage at the rebel camp, shaking his tightly closed fist at Wilson’s castle looming in the distance.
So if anyone wants to get weird, today Phish released their latest archival release, a show from Great Woods from 1994. The first set includes nearly the entire Gamehendge saga, which includes almost all of the mythology referred to in the summary above. I'm very excited to throw this one on tonight.
I am going to want to give Phish the same treatment I am giving Grateful Dead, but that’s a later goal. I still have 17 years of Dead shows to get through, and after that I will probably want to take a break in between.
I listened to Lonely Trip the other day and really liked it. Maybe not as much as Sigma Oasis but that’s a real solid 2/2 for 2020. Add last years Ghosts of the Forest and Trey is on fire right now.
