Vacant Horizon

i think this record was in the can before he 'quit'. i remember reading a quote from him about using an orchestra etc. on the album, but that was a few years ago. the new album info seems really vague though. the article doesn't explicitly mention it. c

as far as Teenage Fanclub goes, I would have to put Grand Prix!! i am surprised you like so much neil young...............

johnny cash thing. sounds like a really small room though. craig

here goes...no particular order... 1. On The Beach-Neil Young 2. Hotel California-Eagles 3. Abby Road-Beatles 4. AGIB-Wilco (luv it!) 5. Homecoming-America 7. Crosby, Stills, & Nash-S/T 8. Time Fades Away-Neil Young 9. But Seriously Folks-Joe Walsh (sorry, i luv him too) 10. Story of the Ghost-Phish there are so many more... every thing else by Neil, Gillian Welch, Joe Walsh, Eagles, Zeppelin, Wilco, Fleetwood Mac, Grateful Dead, Cream, Michael Hedges, Teenage Fanclub. fun topic-now to the baby, yet again!!!! craig

good point. also, the more i think about this, it all seems like a marketing ploy. the next thing we will hear is that only a limited number of copies will come out, only to have the CDs released later. not to mention when they are available on itunes with an 'alternate' version of Mr. Soul available only with purchase of the entire album. with the CD business in the throws of change, this archive release is looked at as huge future earnings and i am sure BlueRay, DVD player manufactuers, itunes etc. all have their hands in this. hell, they're all one company! so, we'll see. craig

my wife just said to me as i read this, "why are you surprised!" we've been hearing about this since 89!! so we wont be able to have the tunes on our ipods. we have to sit in front of the TV to watch/listen. that sounds fun for a bit, but i really just wanted the cds. damn!! not to mention the fact that mosts folks are clamoring for vol. II with homegrown etc.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ah

well, it was fun while it lasted. just couldn't keep this thread civilized, could we?

was there! pretty much caught every midwest show during the 90s. $20 for tix.... anyone at cincy music hall, summer 94 i believe when the fire alarm went off and the entire place had to evacuate? we got back in and the band played Fire, hilarious. they didn't set break either, just jammed out.

i checked gadiel's page religiously!! glad he is getting some props here. as i said, early 90s to 97 were amazing years. coming from the dead frame of mind, it was impossible to call a song at a phish show. they could open with anything and had so much energy. it was also fun being with a band from the beginning, starting in small venues and getting bigger etc. and hearing new tunes and how they might change on record. also, hearing how songs changed. just a real special time. not to mention they toured like mother fuckers and played everywhere. not just 5 venues like the dead! alas,

saw phish in 92 in a really small room, bogarts in cincy. anyway, i remember just hoping the band would not become cliches and get into drugs etc. alas, they did. too bad. those were fun days. true, 89 was rough, but there was a point, probably before hoist when they really prided themselves on coming out and playing Rift, It's Ice, Fluffhead, Guyote note for note and doing all that crazy shit on stage that was totally planned out. craig

point is that its all opioids or opiates. synthetic or derived from opium.

true.

i'm hoping for a reunion. i hope the boys get their shit together and recapture some of the pride they had at the beginning. playing songs to perfection, working out arrangements, playing smaller venues, etc. as far as i am concerned, everything went to hell in 97 when they got into all the free jamming at the expense of getting the notes right on Rift or YEM for example. ironically, story of the ghost came out around that time and is an incredible album. craig so, pills are basically heroin if the pills were opiates. DUI, yes, criminal. holding, major social/medical problem. not c

i agree. i used to be a substance abuse therapist and the one thing i realized is that we can't criminalize addiction without being draconian. he missed a meeting. big deal for recovery, but not criminal. just tack on some more meetings etc. not to mention he has passed all drug tests. stellar! going to jail hopefully was an attention getter for him. craig which is ridiculous!

http://www.glidemagazine.com/Articles/5298...-&-Him.html this sounds really interesting. craig

thanks so much. think i'll check out draw breath! craig

suggestions? i heard his new one might be good. craig

right on bro!!

thanks-knew they were around somewhere. peace c

i lost Panthers and Kicking TV and wondered if they were still available for download. For that matter, anyone know where I could pick up Cars Can't Escape or More Like The Moon? Thanks Friends! Craig

i also had way too much of phish in the 90s. however, i have held on to my copies of rift and story of the ghost. great studio albums all around. def in my top 25 favorite albums.

i have seen them a few times. the jerry guy sounds like garcia, but can't jam at all. they get all the little licks in etc. i can do with out the 'donna' woman. not necessary. also, the 'bobby' dude is just too much like weir. it's amazing he plays guitar like bob (he's a very peculiar player inverted chord voicings etc.) but he's just kind of wierd. DSO gets cool when the do their own sets...shit us heads would have loved to have seen ie: Chinacat>Scarlet>Help>Terrapin>Slip>El Paso>Franklins>Fire>Rider>Playin' Reprise!!! Wow that looks so cool on paper! cra

i forgot about him too. always remember his pic in the back of relix or dupree's diamond news. always hoped to see some info on it each issue. alas, nothing. speaking of bust outs, i saw that last To Lay Me Down at deercreek 92. great show that night. second night blew! and what about garcia playing Black Muddy for the last show in 95, followed by Box of Rain which was written about phil's dead dad. crazy stuff... craig

this really concerns me! so even though i rip discs into itunes at say 320, it gets compressed as it is synced to the ipod? utterly ridiculous if true. please, tell me more and how to access any changes. craig

really loved your comments. that story about the dude buying drinks on the plane is just classic. man, come tour time we were all just psyched. anyway, i recently got to hang out with an old touring buddy and we were just talking about how glad we were we caught the dead and the scene. i mean, i pretty much saw america because of the dead. i visited so many states and towns and met so many people. what a great cultural experience. and all the towns knew who we were and just loved us. especially new york. a rockin' town to see the dead in! craig
