Holy shit! I never really was a big phish fan but my friend invited to me go to the concert in philly on tuesday, so I went. Damn, this band sounds SO much better live. We got to the concert place about thirty minutes before the show started. We had a paid driver take us there because we knew we would be way too fucked up to drive. When we got there, we had trouble finding the lot, it seemed really scattered, so we went in before getting any drugs. Soon to realize that they dont let you back out. Whatever, we went to one of the designated smoking areas and rolled up a joint. So were smoking and talking, and this old head and his wife walk over and start talking by us. We jump in the conversation and buy the dudes last two strips. My buddy and I agreed that we wouldnt dose high this time so we would be able to communicate with the scene and score more drugs. But, somehow, ten hits landed in my mouth and it was off to the races. It took us a while to find out seats and stuff, and we were sitting down about 30 minutes after doseing. It seemed like we were waiting for the band to come on for so long. Finally, they walked on stage. I was not tripping at all yet, I did feel strange, but I was starting to think that the blotter was weak. And then... the music started. BOOM! I went from coming up at a moderate rate to tripping complete fucking face in a matter of seconds. This seems to happen to me alot with higher doses. Oh my god, I was in primal mode now. The music was tearing me up so orgasmically. I was humping so hard, and not feeling any exaustion. It seemed that the sound from the music was just slamming at my ego and making it crumble to pieces, which would crumble to smaller pieces, etc you get it. The most impressive light show I had ever seen was being displayed over the audience. I was covered in sweat, EVERYONE was faced, the concert hall was hot boxed, and my brothers and sisters and I were all being rocked to the fucking core. And then, without warning, my trip, and my buddys trip started to go a little sour. The music stopped, and the band got off the stage. It was like we went into shock. The sudden change from super loud intense psychedelic jam to silence, light show going off. Went from dancing my ass off, completly let go and serene, to stationary and contemplative. It was too sudden of a change, and we went into a state of confusion, being so fucked up and not realizing that we were experiencing intermission. We stumbled out of the club box, with the increasingly strange scene. I was not comfortable with the scene. It was my first phish show, and I didnt expect such a diverse scene. Im used to Dead shows maan. We went outside to where we were before. We remembered that we wanted to score drugs somwhere in a far off dimension. So we tried, hard. I remember my buddy saying something like "we can do this man, we just need to HOLD ON to this" he was referring to the fact that we would be like "oh yeah cop drugs" one second, and then the next it would be like "stare at ground enter vortex of inner everything bla bla bla" we could not hold on to the desire to buy more drugs. Some time ago, our selves wanted to find drugs at this show, but now, in a state of non-self trying to contact self, well you get the idea. We both agreed that we were generating negative emotions from this struggle, and we would do whatever needs to be done when we come down a little. What a good idea. Intermission ended, we no longer faced any dillemas, and the music was about to start again. From here on, it was just fistfulls of rainbows, insanely psychedelic tunes, self realization after self realization and good vibes allll around. The show ended, and we made our way to the lot. It was easy to find it you just had to listen for the sound of nitrous tanks. Scored some fucking dank ass weed, ten dollar shirts, gram of molly, 3 more strips, and I got a free heady chillum for watching this dudes glass while he went to his car. This was the most amazing musical experience I have ever had. See this band live, so good.
Sounds like a good time, then again, all your trips do. So did you just walk off with his glass once he went to his car? Or did he give you another piece in return for the favour?
He gave me the chillum for watching his glass. I could have easily walked off with a couple thousands dollars worth of someones custom glass, but come on, dats fuked up.
Yeah, that's what I thought. I was just wondering, since all you wrote was that you got a chillum when a guy asked you to watch his glass. Anyways, sounds like a lotta fun. I would love to see Phish live.
Hell yeah, glad to hear you dug the show. That was kind of how I felt going to my first Phish show, but I loved it. Granted I didn't take a ten strip. I was on shrooms, k, dank, opium, and smoked a bowl of dmt though .
Sounds awesome man. I wasnt really into Phish until I saw them live this summer and they blew me away. My next show will be Furthur in February, will be dosing it up for sure
Dude Phish was fucking SIIIIIICK Tuesday. Best setlists I've ever seen them do, whether I was at the show or not. It was just packed with all their greatest shit, Trey was FIRE and they topped it off with Day in the Life. Glad you had a good time brother. Everytime I go to a Flyers game now I'm gonna be shot back into the dimension I was in at that goddamn orgy of a show
Nice trip report! I was at the show. It was one of the best shows I have ever seen. I really liked the venue, although the lot was odd. I only smoked a couple bowls at the show, didn't trip.
What a night man what a night. I had a blast, saw a lot of old friends at the lot and made a lot of new ones. Took two of the strongest tabs I've taken, drank four or five beers, and took a bump of k for the first time. I remember heading to my seats and hearing chalkdust torture start up inside, a smile burst onto my face and everyone started running to get inside. My seats were behind the stage and I went right up to the rail, 30 ft from the band. Smoked a duber with the people around me and at intermission went to meet up with my friends at 106. Phish is amazing live, I was smiling the whole time I just wish they played another six hours
the show was great! i was on e so i was really happy. what was really cool because we were almost directly in front of the stage on the upper highest level, some people seating behind the stage danced where the opening was to get seated. everyones shadow that was dancing looked so cool! phish played greatly eventhough they played farmhouse the second night. hearing reba and bathtub gin was really nice. it grounded me :0)
dude hell fucking yes prone, i don't understand how you could handle yourself, or lack of self on a 10 strip at a show. i am sure i'd be melted away into egoloss so far from my body that even walking around at intermission would have been impossible. but hey you did it and loved it so fuck yeah. i gotta see phish at some point, i am sure my time will come
i cant wait to see phish at msg on friday...im gettin a half gram of molly but im thinking about droping a tab too for my first time...but the hole nyc thing and first time tripping idk if i wanna do it
Hahaha yeah I scored a couple ounces of that LA confidential or whatever. And some RAW ass molly that I flipped up last night with my family. Had to eat 15 hits though because of tolerance. Im not doseing again till further on the 13th. Im seeing further in asbury park in two weeks, then again in feb. Should PM me, we can meet up. Oh and bathtub gin? WHAT THE FUCK! Tripped me out so hard, I came my pants during the show and I think it was during this song.
saw phish in syracuse last sunday. that shit was the best live show ive ever seen. better then the dead.
Which dead show do you speak of? You also have to keep in mind that the gang is getting super old. Trey is like prime right now. How old is he? 45?
