And silence contagious in moments like these…

Posted on August 15th, 2007 by Chris

Well it’s been exactly 3 years since I had the pleasure of trudging through traffic, rain, and mud on my way to the final two Phish shows at Coventry. I didn’t get to see as many shows as I would’ve liked (I think 11 shows from ‘97-’04) but they still provided me with joy, happiness, and an appreciation of music that I might not have had otherwise. This post is hard for me to write, because I don’t like feeling as if Phish is in the past…but with Trey’s legal and drug problems, it doesn’t exactly seem as if a Phish reunion is right around the corner.

As a kick in the nuts, Trey guested with DMB last night at SPAC. Any other year I probably would’ve been there, but thanks to the weird tour this show happened to fall on a Tuesday night and we chose to go to Hartford instead of Saratoga. I guess it just wasn’t meant to be.

Guitar Hero II / Divided Sky / Face Melt

Posted on March 31st, 2007 by Chris

I know I’ve been posting a lot of youtube videos lately - but you know, it really is a great resource. Here’s a little nugget I found posted on a message board. If you’ve ever played Guitar Hero before and you like Phish (hell, even if you don’t like Phish) you should watch this. Apparently there is a way to create custom tracks using a pretty cool idiot proof process. I haven’t tried it myself, but after seeing this video I am extremely temped.

I’ll post the first part of the song here just so the whole thing is in this post:

Part two (for me) was much more interesting in terms of playing difficulty. Things get interesting at about the 2:15 mark, and then really interesting at about the 2:50 mark, and then…well, you’ll see.
