Panthers have acquired WR Kevin Norwood in a trade with the Seattle. Seattle will receive an undisclosed 2017 draft choice in the trade.

I'll pretend like I know who that is...

Nick Kyrgios is like like the Lance Stephenson of tennis. All the talent in the world but he has terrible body language, makes stupid decisions when frustrated, tries to be flashy too often... I'm half expecting him to walk up to the net and blow in Andy Murray's ear.

The guy is just so dumb.

it was funny to me how the announcers were practically getting offended over how he was acting. It almost made me like the guy. There's some serious stuck up jabronis in the tennis world.

dude, I really did enjoy watching him. He can play every shot, is quick, athletic, has irrational confidence- I love that in an athlete, as long as they're not going full pants-on-head retahded like Kyrgios did last night and like Lance did last season.

The kid is 20 and was making a legit match out of the world's third best tennis player. If he pulls his head out of his ass, he's probably going to be my favorite tennis player.

He's definitely got all the talent if he can get it together. I would love to see a borderline nutcase like that in the top 5. The kid that really impressed me was Coric.

I didn't see the match, but the fact he was able to take a set from Nadal is promising for sure.

Do you know if Phish ever outperformed all of Gamehenge live or in studio? I found some old CDs I made forever ago and one was Trey's senior thesis version of Gamehenge. The nostalgia was strong with that one, but I've never heard it live and now I'm jonesing for it.

Feel like they did it in the 2000s, but might be wrong about that.

Not sure whether you have encyclopedic Phish knowledge, but taking my chances.

Live performances[edit]
The songs from Gamehendge have been played many times throughout the career of Phish, sometimes with Anastasio narrating parts of the story to the audience. The earliest known performance of a Gamehendge song was "McGrupp and the Watchful Hosemasters" on April 6, 1985, in Burlington, Vermont. On the following five occasions in the band's history, Phish performed a complete set of Gamehendge songs, complete with narration:

1988-03-12
1991-10-13
1993-03-22
1994-06-26
1994-07-08
Each song list has been slightly different from one another. The 1994 shows were recorded in 24-track digital for, it is assumed, a CD-ROM project that was mentioned in a 1994 Doniac Schvice. The project has long since been shelved.

Another common sequence at shows from 1988 to 1994, and less frequently after, was to play Colonel Forbin's Ascent segueing into Fly Famous Mockingbird, often with an Anastasio monologue sandwiched in between.

When songs from the project are performed live, accompanying narration often details the transportation of the audience to Gamehendge. Some fans speak of "going to Gamehendge" with reference to attending a Phish concert. Some songs and narratives explain how to get to Gamehendge, as evident in live versions of "Kung," "N02," and "It's Ice."[1]

Oh **** didn't realize that would be on wiki. Well done Sachmo. Now to see if I can get a soundboard of any of those shows.

I feel like Colonel Forbin > Trey story > Fly Famous Mockingbird was pretty common, but maybe that's skewed by what shows I've heard.

Post #1393 » by **fatlever** » Sun Sep 6, 2015 5:17 am

LOL , WTF??? Why is Sachmo talking Gamehenge. That's hilarious.

Yeah, the above mentions.

Try this one

This is the download link from the spreadsheet

This is the GameHoist show from 6-26-94, 1st set was Gamehendge, 2nd set was Hoist

BTW, are you are Spotify? If so, let me know if you want my Live Phish Spotify Mix. I have been working for the past month putting together my favorite version of each song on Spotify. There's a lot of good Phish on there. Also, if you haven't heard it yet, check out the Tweezer->Prince Caspian from the Magnaball shows two weeks ago. That **** is really good.

And this Possum is fantastic. Ran across this gem the other day. - Trey goes **** nuts at the end.

And here is the 10-13-91 Gamehenge set. I think this was one of my first Phish tapes back in the day. Got the 92 show on tape a little later. When they did that GameHoist show in 94, everyone went nuts. Tape was in circulation about a week later. They they played it again a few weeks later. I think everyone for the next 2 years went to every show hoping to get a Gamehenge show and it never happened again. They have barely played any of the songs this tour, which is fine with me I guess. I don't want to hear sloppy stuff, so unless they have practiced it a bunch recently, I'd rather not listen to them butcher Tela.

Fun fact, my mom just got a puppy last month and I convinced her to name it Tela!!! She turned down all my Steely Dan and Grateful Dead name suggestions:
Peg
Josie
Aja
Bertha
Stella
Scarlet

his antics are earning him a fair bit of flack here in Aus. Makes it tough to cheer for him when he carries on like a dick.
