Huge Phish fan here! Just got back from Mexico and already starting to see rumors of summer tour dates and the rumor of a possible fall tour as well. I also am a big Dead fan and of course if your a big dead fan you must love Joe Russo's Almost Dead.
 
My rig for listening to live shows depends on the recording. As of now, afaik, Umphrey's Magee and Phish are the only two bands release high res sound boards. I know Phish also has the option for the HD audio which is FLAC 24 bit audio. When the recording is good (SBD 16bit) I use my VLC (on a mac) -> Schiit Fulla -> HE-400i when the recordings are poor i turn down the bass and use a not so great headphone with bass boost.

Did you see any taping rigs there? Haven't seen anything on etree

I thought I saw one or two. Not many though, it's a lot of equipment to carry down to another country.

Wow... How did I miss this thread. Amazing! I just saw Mike Gordon in Flagstaff AZ last week. Not as epic as the dead but it was a blast.

I'm a huge Phish and GD fan and fan of many others as well, have seen Phish since 1995, only saw the Grateful Dead live once on Jerrys last tour (I was 16), but have seen some of the offshoots, including the CA Fare Thee Well shows last year. Have been listening to the Dead more than anything for the last year.

Am interested in what gear people like best for live shows

Wish I could do this whole tour. I love most of those venues. I am for sure going to the gorge I already have it all booked and Dick's too. Will either try for MN and Chi it just the Mann but we will see. I have heard rumor of a fall tour that will end in the middle of October so money should be saved for that too. I also just went to Mexico and my wife is a bit feeling like we need to slow our roll. Good thing I have Ween tickets for next weekend

Big Phish fan here. The tour dates look tough for me, but I should be able to swing Mann. I'd love to get out to the gorge, but I can't quite justify the travel since my wife and I just did Mexico. I'm really hoping for a Hampton stop in the fall.

JRAD is on tap next week. I can't wait for that show. I've been meaning to catch them for a while now.

 

[pelli]

I'll be at Dick's just like the last 15 times they played there haha.  I'd love to do wrigley but don't think I'm seeing more than three this year.  Going to STS9 at the Fillmore in Denver tonight though

 

[pelli]

And holy Harpua at Sunday Dick's last year!  Dick's has been a great run of Phish shows... The "S" set, the "screw your face" show, "Most Shows Spell Something" and "Lushington"  then they seem to be getting away with the setlist spelling games until the "Thank You" encore... Mind Blown

 

[CSdread]

@bortlett love JRAD. Maybe my favorite jam band next to Phish right now. Just saw them at the Filmore in Denver a few weeks ago. So good!

I have yet to miss a Dick's run myself. We are in Albuquerque so we get up to Denver for music often. Loved that Harpua. Call me sensitive but it brought me to tears. That and then Mexico. It's nice the band loves us so much.

JRAD is awesome, saw them for the first time
on Halloween

 

[CSdread]

That Halloween show was so good by them, so good. I wish they released better recordings though. The audience recordings don't sound great at any quality of digital file. I am spoiled by phish with the FLAC and HD FLAC. So good

 

[pelli]

I'm also spoiled from Phish and find it frustrating to have to wait more than 20 min after the show for my SBD download to be ready haha.  I did the webcast for the first night of Mexico and have listened to the other 2.  Looked like a blast!  My wife isn't really into Phish so had to pass that one up.  Meeting up with my friend who was down there for the show tonight and hoping he grabbed me some swag.
 
Any of you all into posters? I have to admit I'm "that guy"... 

 

[CSdread]

I am into posters for sure. Mexico was exactly what we thought it was going to be which was just magical and so very special. It's so true about the music timing, quality. HD webcasts. My next poster I am going to get framed is the one from Vegas 03 with the guy throwing the dice!
