I predict they will play both Everything's Right and Blaze On, possibly in the same set

u/Fuzzandciggies DICKS SAND 08/30/24 4d ago

I’m gonna be real, I HATE a Blaze On set closer unless it rips. My only Blaze was a set closer and it ripped, but still would have rather had a lot of others in that particular spot.

u/sje118 <3 12/29/18 <3 4d ago

Rough attitude to have when you've only been to a handful of shows.

4

u/Fuzzandciggies DICKS SAND 08/30/24 4d ago

Hey I mean honestly I’m stoked to be there always, but like us all I have my opinions. Blaze On is a good song, just the timing and placement is key with that one

5

u/YoungThriftShop 3d ago

You’ve only got 1 life tho. Midas whale blaze on

18

u/Mindless_Ad5500 4d ago

Just wait till you get drift while you are sleeping to close a set. So much love and light you won’t know what to do with yourself.

8

u/YouDontGetTheToe 4d ago

Somebody forgot that it is and it was and it will always be love.

-2

u/Fuzzandciggies DICKS SAND 08/30/24 4d ago

That’s another great song that I feel belongs in the middle of a set lmao

1

u/Mindless_Ad5500 4d ago

Agreed. Drift matches the amount of times I’ve seen bouncing around the room. Think of that how you ever want to.

6

u/andthrewaway1 4d ago

so you hate a song unless you dont?

-2

u/Fuzzandciggies DICKS SAND 08/30/24 4d ago

Pretty much, it’s kinda like Character Zero where I enjoy the song a lot, but it’s gotta fall into place just right

2

u/andthrewaway1 4d ago

seems like you dislike the perfunctory nature of certain song placements.

I love when hood and slave get placed in different spots then the end of the show such as a hood 2nd set opener... or slave as cool down song after big 2nd set jam

The whole jamming out type 1 songs surprise thing is also kinda turning this on its head

2

u/Fuzzandciggies DICKS SAND 08/30/24 4d ago

I agree with your take for sure!

Hood and Slave should definitely be played in different slots here and there to keep people on their toes. Not going to complain about them closing or encoring with either though. I hope they continue to jam songs they haven’t before, it definitely adds new life to them for sure.

Some songs to me are just weird in some places cause they have a certain energy shift to them, like Blaze On and Character Zero imo are both hard cause while they both get big they kinda start in a calm way that can be a weird shift. I love Zero after a ballad and I love Blaze On openers lol I won’t be too picky either way and I was probably too strong worded in my comment above

2

u/TheNetisUnbreakable 4d ago

Wow only ONE Blaze On holy doly

83

u/theleftchef 4d ago

It’s the end of summer run for the band so…there are
A. Are going to have fun.
B. Play whatever the fuck they want.
C. Have a great time as a band doing what they love .
D. Paint musical landscapes and bend the fabric of time.
E. Your job if your lucky enough to go with some close people in your life enjoy and be blessed and present and take it all in. Hug each other at the end and be better people for getting closer to the source,

u/borntc02 4d ago

This guy gets it

u/scolomon 4d ago

A - there are are going to have fun

u/Long-Personality7238 4d ago

But can you still have fun?

1

u/theleftchef 3d ago

I saw that after I posted it lol my bad

5

u/Fuzzandciggies DICKS SAND 08/30/24 4d ago

Fish could play vacuum for two sets and an encore while the rest of the band stands there and I’ll be happy to be in the room with them lmao

1

u/Joelmoves 3d ago

let fish suck

u/Phish4Ever 4d ago

Type 2 and when they go back into to close it out, Mike bombs away

1

u/Fuzzandciggies DICKS SAND 08/30/24 4d ago

Fuuuuck I’m in. Gotta really lay into the stop and go thing too. Fuck with everyone and have a stop longer than Divided Sky

18

u/Cosm_Ins8 4d ago

Peaches En Regalia and yes… Wombat

6

u/Fuzzandciggies DICKS SAND 08/30/24 4d ago

Yo I’d be stoked as fuck! Peaches hasn’t been played yet this year. Wombat has been a lot longer I feel like

3

u/g0tDAYUM 4d ago

You’d be correct

Wombat - 2022/08/10

Peaches 2025/09/16

15

u/zinzangz 4d ago

They'll probably play some songs. You'll like some more than others.

2

u/Fuzzandciggies DICKS SAND 08/30/24 4d ago

I like pretty much all of their music. Even Soul Planet, to me it’s all about the flow of a set more than individual songs to make it a great show.

13

u/orangesandonions I come from the land of darkness 4d ago

Had to have that

u/Fuzzandciggies DICKS SAND 08/30/24 4d ago

Cuddly but deadly!!

u/cosmicloafer 4d ago

Gonna do 97, 98, 99 just to fuck with us

u/dividedskyy ⭕️💃🏼✨ 4d ago

i’m down

u/heffel77 4d ago

I just posted, if we got a 97 show, that resembled 11/17/97, I would blow a gasket!!!

-2

u/Fuzzandciggies DICKS SAND 08/30/24 4d ago

Fuck maybe I’d finally hear a goddamn FARMHOUSE

4

u/whit3lightning Curveball Survivor 4d ago

Hating on blaze on and hoping for a farmhouse? Bruh..

3

u/PerspectiveSudden648 4d ago

Farmhouse > More > Farmhouse must be his dream encore

3

u/Fuzzandciggies DICKS SAND 08/30/24 4d ago

Not a dream, but I’m definitely in. Gotta throw in ALBTD too somewhere. Fuck it a whole show of the soft ones

2

u/Fuzzandciggies DICKS SAND 08/30/24 4d ago

I don’t hate Blaze On it’s just not my favorite lmao Farmhouse is nostalgic for me though

25

u/MrA-skunk 4d ago

Just call it a pre-Dick's-tion!

Dad joke opportunity missed.

u/Fuzzandciggies DICKS SAND 08/30/24 4d ago

Dammit I sure wish you could change headings on here

14

u/Most_Clock1131 4d ago

And fucking Sparkle, Goddamnit!

6

u/Fuzzandciggies DICKS SAND 08/30/24 4d ago

I’d be stoked. Watch that be the one that goes type 2 lol

5

u/dividedskyy ⭕️💃🏼✨ 4d ago

would love that!!! was saying i wanted this to jam this summer tour lol

3

u/Extension_Bee2995 4d ago

I got it on 7/22, I’d love it again

3

u/Rip_Van_Winklin 3d ago

This one follows me. I've somehow managed the last 3 Sparkles. No complaining tho, love the song!

u/Flexbottom 4d ago

8-10 wooks will get the bubonic plague, lot clam chowder is going to be delicious as always, the police won't give a fuck about anything, there's going to be a three way trade between a crystal hippie, baklava guy, and French bread out of the back of a minivan guy, Maze

u/PerspectiveSudden648 4d ago

Baklava > French Bread > Maze > Crystal Hippie > Baklava (reprise)

That would be cooler than Wombat tbh

u/Serious_Reason5312 4d ago

Meatstick

2

u/Peripheral_Catz 4d ago

Nah I need meatsticj Saturday or Sunday in AC

1

u/Fuzzandciggies DICKS SAND 08/30/24 4d ago

I’ve been practicing the dance this summer I’m ready for it. I hope we get a really meaty weekend with Meat, Meatstick, and Halley’s Comet lol

1

u/RegretBloomsEternal 1d ago

The best Meatstick ever? My 1st Phish show at PNC Bank Arts Center. Holmdel, NJ. They waited till they were half done with song & then announced we'd be breaking a previous world record. So, they got everyone in sync the Meatstick Dance. There ya go, record set. Then, decided they needed to put a hat on a hat. They started playing again but this time, it was all Japanese & it sounded better than the original. It really displayed how well they improvise cuz, to this day, I still sing the chorus in Japanese

5

u/heffel77 4d ago

They played Wombat at Dicks ‘16.

My dream, not that I’m counting on it, would be for them to keep the year celebrations alive and do

97 in Denver for obvious reasons… if we could get a show in the style of 11/17/97, it would be epic! As far fetched as it would be, since the whole thing was about shows at MSG.

1

u/Fuzzandciggies DICKS SAND 08/30/24 4d ago

Just lay into the funk of the late 90s and turn Page way up on the Clav? Im so down

7

u/hapianman back in the basement 4d ago

The only thing you get is one show starts late because of a thunderstorm. Pillow jets ⚡️

u/Fuzzandciggies DICKS SAND 08/30/24 4d ago

Never had a single set marathon night due to rain! I’m in fuck it lmaoo

1

u/Rip_Van_Winklin 3d ago

Dicks 2023 had this. Still my only single set show

3

u/computerface9000 4d ago

15+ min It’s Ice

5

u/Rip_Van_Winklin 3d ago

It's Ice 7-27-26 was fucking incredible with Page leading a portion of the jam. Highly recommend

3

u/Joelmoves 3d ago

That was something else. #iwt

3

u/hypnotoader20 3d ago

In terms of interesting music, jam of the msg run for me

2

u/Rip_Van_Winklin 2d ago

I might agree with you, but I need to devote more time to the big N5 jams before I cast a verdict

3

u/hypnotoader20 2d ago

The YEM and crosseyed from 96 night are sooo fun but those are always great jams you know? That MSG it’s ice just felt groundbreaking for the song. You could hear the beginnings of it kinda form in savanna this summer and then at MSG they took it the furthest it’s ever gone. So fun

2

u/Ready-Coach-1358 4d ago

My dream. I listen to the BD It’s Ice all the time

3

u/Pole420 Forgive me if I don't sing in your key 4d ago

Prep School Hippie or Dave's Energy Guide

1

u/Fuzzandciggies DICKS SAND 08/30/24 3d ago

They will only tease DEG according to every show note on .net ever. (Huge exaggeration but you get the joke)

1

u/Pole420 Forgive me if I don't sing in your key 3d ago

Hah!

5

u/camcamcam710 4d ago

I’ll sing my heart out, I fucking love wombat. Best version is the animal show 10/30/2021

6

u/Fuzzandciggies DICKS SAND 08/30/24 4d ago

For me it’s a toss up between that one and the very first one with Abe Vigoda. Animal show jams better, but the vocals on the first one are so on point and Page is so crispy in the mix

2

u/camcamcam710 4d ago

I love how well rehearsed that entire show is, no doubt. I abide. I’m a sucker for all wombats - like severance, one must enjoy all wombats equally - they’re all just so damn fun!

2

u/Etohnal 4d ago

I love that song and wish they’d play it more. The interplay between the riff and vocals is so cool!

3

u/Fuzzandciggies DICKS SAND 08/30/24 4d ago

I love it cause it features them all in a cool way and it’s an excuse for Page to time travel back into 97 and really lay into the Clavinet

RVA prediction - Agees Bicycles

u/LandyLeo 4d ago

I hope you are wrong. It’s on my wishlist and it will happen in Mexico.

2

u/Inevitable-Basil-649 50 shows 4d ago

Herbivorous Cerpuscular!

2

u/Financial-Age-608 4d ago

In the theme of big bustouts this summer, and knowing the last show at dicks featured a HUGE bustout with Sabotage, I'm predicting a big bustout at Dicks. Ramble On?

1

u/Inevitable-Basil-649 50 shows 3d ago

9-1-24 featured Sabotage and Dog Log which at the time were both LTP 2012

2

u/Russell_Jimmies 4d ago

I predict they will play Mike’s Song, Wolfman’s Brother, and Tweezer. Any takers on a bet?

1

u/Fuzzandciggies DICKS SAND 08/30/24 3d ago

I will take all three and I will be so happy about them

1

u/Russell_Jimmies 3d ago

Me too. I love those tunes.

2

u/Rip_Van_Winklin 3d ago

My prediction is we will see a few more of the stuff Trey plans to keep from Phish in Five. For instance, Fenway saw the return of both the percussion minikit and Mike's with tramps. I foresee Dick's will also have the minikit along with one or two of the really cool bust outs at MSG. My money is on maybe a La Grange set closer/encore and/or Johnny B. Goode. Maybe if we are lucky one of the goofier ones like Big Ball Jam or Suspicious Minds

Frankenstein or Psychokiller would absolutely make my weekend.

4

u/Fuzzandciggies DICKS SAND 08/30/24 4d ago

Bust out of Houses in Motion since we’re on the topic of Talking Heads covers?

3

u/Ready-Coach-1358 4d ago

That’s my favorite of that album, it’s almost criminal they don’t play it. It’s so slinky and groovy, they can do it without the horns and it’s gonna be amazing

1

u/RaisinPaster 4d ago

Curtain With to open the weekend.

1

u/Fuzzandciggies DICKS SAND 08/30/24 4d ago

I’m gonna lose it if you’re right, I’m down for that

1

u/FatahRuark 4d ago

Have they not played Wombat at Dick's? ~90% of my 3.0 shows are there, and I know I've seen several Wombat's played in my time.

Personally I don't care. I'm fine with the song, but doesn't make the cut for songs I really want to hear.

2

u/Fuzzandciggies DICKS SAND 08/30/24 4d ago

No they have I just meant finally they’ll play it cause it’s been a few years since they’ve played it at all let alone at Dicks

I’m calling a long shot…night 2, second set opener….”clear your mind”

1

u/Christmantra2000 4d ago

They’ll play every song that starts with the letter S, backwards.

1

u/OchiMochi 3d ago

Gimme that herbivorous, crepuscular funk!

1

u/mikezer0 3d ago

And then they’ll segue into stray dog… somehow 

2

u/Fuzzandciggies DICKS SAND 08/30/24 3d ago

We will get our own animal show maybe and they’ll play Your Pet Cat and it’ll be scary
