I had enough of a basic music introduction as a kid to get the basics of this article, but am by no means a musician. Question for those that are: does Phish plan these key changes before they take the stage? I know that some are standard per the song, but it is clear that they will step outside of typical progressions as well. Just curious as to how four musicians co-ordinate that in real time.
It's possible, I think, to imagine they decide where certain jams start and end and leave the pathway up in the air (I talk about this a little in the next post). But I think they mostly decide (by listening to each other) where to go on the fly, just through years and years of playing together. They seem to have a pretty remarkable level of musical ESP.
