I would say the jam on the radar tower was quite dangerous as well as epic!

Trey is my happy place 🙂

[@absolutelypositively]

Thanks Trey! Just the way you guys take it out there and then keep pushing it even further with those mind bending jams not knowing where and when you’all are going to come in to land is dangerous in a musical way. Dangerously phun. I’ll take it! With mustard grilled onions and some chili too; thank you.

[@sideshowbob]

Most of the time they go back to end the song they were playing 20 min's ago & then come to a screeching stop.

Which show did he hit the ceiling and is there a tape of it?

[@FritzsVideo]

I was at the roller rink in buffalo that he skated through.

[@danshramo2648]

I've always wanted to know, did he skate with his only Languedoc guitar or did he use a different one? If that thing hits the ground at that speed it would have been toast.

[@jasonspeth1865]

Amherst Roller Rink. Main and Amherst St. It no longer exists.

[@FritzsVideo]

@@danshramo2648 he was going slowly through the crowd if I remember correctly. But it was a LONG time ago. No clue what guitar he was using.

[@FritzsVideo]

@@jasonspeth1865 that’s the one.

[@danshramo2648]

@@FritzsVideo Yeah. 91 was a long time ago. What's even crazier is my first show was the very next night at the Agora in Cleveland. I also recall very little except being baffled by the whole thing and paying 8 bucks to get in. Looking back and listening to it now, it was a killer show. They were pretty much unstoppable by 91 and they were playing all the time. Can't do that these days.

[@hlf_coder6272]

I always thought it took a lot of guts just to do the little YEM trampoline bit he and Mike do. It would be easy to just jump a little awkwardly once and biff in front of 50,000 people. Maybe break a leg or something.

That show in Florida sucked but it is my favorite Friday ever People hate that song but 12-28-03 is the best FRIDAY ever it is a stellar guitar solo listen to it it is grand LEGENDARY but yes 2003 has a terrible NYE run not because it is in the wetlands I love the reference to Big Cypress it is because Trey was a lost cause in late and early 2004 not to mention all of 2004-2007 until he gets slowly clean after being caught w heroin percs dauladid and coke and being drunk to boot i think if the cops statement is true he may think drunk looks like high for they look alike no doubt but unless he smelled of liquor or blew a .08 or above fuck that cop but trey loves that cop so so do i

[@sideshowbob]

I brought these old time grizzly biker buddies to see Phil Lesh & Friends at the Beacon Theatre in NYC back in the early 2000's - they had been to a few Grateful Dead shows "back in the day" including Watkins Glen so they were OK with GD stuff but not Hippy Jambands - Not. At. All. So Trey just happened to guest that night, & they did something like 25 min versions of Dark Star & The Other One that went on & on & on & on & on . . . I was of course absolutely Thrilled, but, after the show, my biker buddies were all like "WHO WAS THAT TRAY ANESTHESIA KNUCKLEHEAD ?!?!?!!!!!!". So from then on, I ALWAYS call him TRAY ANESTHESIA & Phisheads are always like "WTF"?

What is the most dangerous stunt that you phisheads have performed in your pursuit of getting to the show? Please post your best, and I will gladly reciprocate. hint; "Everybody knows wookies don't play chess."

[@yankees29]

I jumped the fence and then a wood wall at Hartford CT in the early 2000’s. Got in free but as I jumped off the wood wall surrounding the back of the amphitheater and my pants got caught on the fence. I fell like 12 feet straight onto my shoulder/neck. Thank god i didn’t get hurt.

[@divinederelicts2956]

Slept on Alligator alley on the way to Big Cypress.2000

[@ezekielbrockmann114]

Getting off work after a long shift and then driving all through the night just to sleep in a Burger King parking lot in the hot sun for a couple of hours, dance the entire show on molly and the drive again though the night on gas station cappuccinos and Winstons just in time to be nearly 100% worthless on morning shift the next day. There was nothing safe about that.

[@joed2818]

Doing heroin.

[@myselfmyself3872]

Ahahahahaaaaaaa

[@justingroff3682]

The hotdog stunt looked dangerous but all 4 were on shrooms and lsd i am sure so they did not care unless a fan actually died like in 2021 then it all the sudden matters because of lawyers jail and cops it never got real because the hotdog never fell LOL

[@bluecollar825]

How you know all 4 were hippy flipping? Sounds like a phantasy.

[@danielhiggins5907]

? The fan that died in 2021 is in no way the bands responsibility, nor would there be any need for lawyers to get involved with the band. that is a venue situation, and purely a venue situation. Jail? Cops? wtf are you even talking about?

[@sideshowbob]

@@danielhiggins5907 I grew up in Philly in the 1970's. Fans used to die all the time at concerts at the old Spectrum. It was quite easy to climb out on the trusses that held up the roof from the 4th level upper upper deck. They tried to fence it off but tripsters always figured a way around or through. Inevitably they'd lose their grip & fall down, WAYYYYYY down, onto their fellow fans WAYYYYY below. Many severe injuries & fatalities over the decades. I almost got crushed to death trying to get down to the downstairs bathrooms a few times at Wayyyyyy oversold Spectrum GD shows back in the day. Learned to stand on my tippy toes & pee into a trash can instead. Survival of the Phittest. Also - Philly!!!!!!

[@newusernamehere4772]

​@@bluecollar825Big Cypress? Definitely acid and mushrooms MINIMUM. It was their favorite festival, those are their favorite drugs. 6+ hour set. Insane jams. Definitely weren't doing MDMA. Maybe some nitrous, ketamine or Salvia. Definitely some blow and alcohol. Possible weed. Possible DMT. This is based on their history, personal statements, interviews etc etc crossreferencing but could all be bullshit I think it's pretty accurate though, keep in mind even after years of sobriety Trey still thinks psychedelics and nitrous are okay to do and I agree
