Black Flag’s “Ship of Theseus” moment: if three of the four current members of Black Flag weren’t born when the band formed…or even a decade after they broke up… but it still has the OG mastermind/guitarist… is it still Black Flag? (Sincere question).

Never Miss A Sunday Show: The old adage proved true once again as a historic, 38-minute "Simple" was just one of the highlights of Phish's Deer Creek finale. Read Benjy Eisen's report, along with the setlist, The Skinny + videos ...

Phish's third and final night in Noblesville saw the quartet embrace 4.0 elasticity, highlighted by an expansive “Simple” and fluid second-set sequencing.

Great opening night for Phish. They had to catch their footing here and there, but a lot of great improv and the vibe was all there. Stoked for all that’s to come.

America has turned into a really weird game of Capture the Flag between Republicans vs Democrats. Nobody cares about right or wrong, truth or lies. They just care about their side winning. And that’s a losing game for us all. Remember when the whole country was the team? Team USA?

Ok, Phish, I see what you did w/ Devotion to a Dream and I raise you The Line: low-key shelve under-appreciated songs, bust them out years later during a peak-level tour, and everyone leaves happy. The new becomes old and the old become VINTAGE. Love these 3.0 bust-outs this tour. Love this tour!

Phish Geekery: Don't know why this has gone without comment by Phish commentators, but the "Devotion to a Dream" bust-out last night had a nice callback built in - it was last played in the same venue... nine years earlier.
