FrontMan Hot take I guess but I thought this post was pretty cool. An experimental prompt from which real conversation could occur. Looking at it for what it is - and not what it isn’t - I thought it did a pretty damn good job summing up Magnaball in the limited space it had. Without hitting on specifics, i think it did actually reference the almighty Tweezer>Caspian jam, but whatever. It sure was a magical time and space 10 years ago at WG! Tentpole of my 37 year Phish journey. To this day, the last 5-6 minutes of Caspian jam offers the most inspired, risk-reward musical moments I’ve witnessed live. A wave of utter awe permeated the collective. A pinnacle many of us will forever hold sacred. Put that in the context of the fest leading up to it and after and it’s just exactly perfect. I love that our band is still creating new tent poles (see 7.27.25) 10 years later and would love to read other’s memories of Magnaball as it helps keep mine alive.
