    I kinda hate it, yes :D
    Anyway, this I think I'll do with the smaller set.

    Anyway, any thoughts here about the Shadows In The Night/Fallen Angels/Triplicate trilogy?

    I got the 2 disc Another Self-Portrait.

    Truth be told, I think the only six disc or more set that is essential is the Basement Tapes ed. There was no way I wasn't getting the six-disc for that one. For me the Trouble No More six disc was more of a successful experiment. I was completely unfamiliar with those tours.

    But Jesus Bob really resonates with me because I'm a conservative bible-thumper, deep on the inside. :D

    Veteran's Day is a floater for me at work, so today I be floatin.'

    Geek episode: I ripped Hoist years ago, 2005, exactly. Anyway, the iTunes rip of "Julius" left a huge nasty static at the last 2 seconds or so of the song. So just now I re-ripped it using XLD and it's all fixed.

    Hoist is a good album, but the lyrics of "Lifeboy" don't sit wet well with me, particularly, "God never listens to what I say, so hard, and you don't get a refund if you overpray." I won't get into the details of why this is, but suffice it to say that Dead lyrics never preach to me in any way I can't handle. I'll add that I don't mind Bobby D. trying to save me on The Trouble No More box set.

    But as Phish studio albums go, Hoist is at least second tier. That means I think it is no worse than very good.

    The studio versions of Julius, Down With Disease, Axilla Part II, and Sample In A Jar are all home runs in my opinion.

    "Wolfman's Brother," however, still sounds like the theme to a cheesy sitcom starring Bob Saget and Dave Coulier. It's like the rock song rendition of BoJack Horseman, but without the pathos.

    I love the end of Axilla Part II, where the tape-slowed voice of some guy keeps saying, "Stop shining that light in my face." It's like I'm back in college and trying to bug the **** out of one of my friends so they don't pass out. It also reminds me of the Will Farrell scene in Old School right after he gets stuck with the animal tranquilizer.

    Saw the thread on Blue Cheer and heavy metal originations,
    so I weakened, and played my hi rez copy of the second side
    of New and Improved with Randy Holden's cosmic blasts
    numbing my brain matter into virtual goo. Still fun though,
    too early in the week...lol

    np: the rest of an early evening handful...

    I like Hoist too. Rift is one of my favorites so Hoist felt very different when it came out but even then I still warmed to it quickly. And If I Could is a great studio album track. I should give it a spin it’s been quite a while.

    Re: Lifeboy I tend to think of lines like that as reflective of the mindset of the character in the song/story (and what brought him to that moment or feeling) as opposed to something that is coming directly from the singer. So in that sense to me it’s more part of the narrative than preachy. But I get what you’re saying. And it certainly seems like that line was intended to elicit a reaction.

    Your former avatar IIRC. Great album, I was inspired to check it out on part by seeing it so frequently here.

    This one and the Tyler Childers look like 'good gets'.
    Have you listened or have any Lee Clayton in your collection?
    I recently got Border Affair and Naked Child, both 70's lps.
