My Stealing Time opener theory...

12Next →View All

Andrewishomer Permalink
Andrewishomer Stealing time was not supposed to be the 12/28/12 opener. Moma Dance was supposed to have an extended black eyed katie like intro.

If you were in line for General Admission on this night, you know what I am talking about when I say that the planning of the building was faulty, to say the least.

I know I walked in on trey shredding the Momma intro which was awesome. There is a mixed sound to me in that moma of frustration and funk combined.

They played Stealing Time as an opener to Steal time from the fact that the floor was only half full do to the faulty planning of the building.

Does this sound right?

spaced They seem to do that song as an opener a lot when they have webcasts, possibly as a knock on people "stealing" the stream. They did a "stealing" themed setlist back in 2010 or 2011 I think.

EDIT: found it.

August 10, 2011

Lake Tahoe Outdoor Arena at Harveys, Stateline, NV

Set 1: Dogs Stole Things, Stealing Time From the Faulty Plan, Poor Heart, Alaska, Halley's Comet > It's Ice > When the Circus Comes, Ya Mar, Stash, Funky Bitch, Instant Karma! > Run Like an Antelope

Set 2: Down with Disease[1] > Runaway Jim > Ghost > Golden Age > Also Sprach Zarathustra[2] > Sneakin' Sally Through the Alley, Guyute, Wading in the Velvet Sea, You Enjoy Myself

Encore: Show of Life > Good Times Bad Times

[1] Pop Goes the Weasel tease; unfinished.
[2] Golden Age teases.

Notes: This was the second of two Pay Per view performances. Dogs Stole Things was played for the first time since July 12, 2003 (167 shows). The intro to Down with Disease featured a Pop Goes the Weasel tease and Also Sprach included Golden Age teases. Disease was unfinished.

FeelingIForgot Not a bad theory, never occurred to me because I was rushing to get in on night one, guess I was just focused on getting in. I haven't gotten a chance to look back at the threads yet but I don't remember anyone calling a Stealing Time as the opener. Now my theory is crazy, but maybe the boys just scrolled through the threads and went "Ah no one has called this one, lets confuse em." They always like keeping us guessing.

ProfJibboo OR... the band was just pumped and conspired to begin the run with some high intensity.

OR...maybe they were referring to everyone who bailed out of work early to start the holiday weekend off right.

OR....and most likely conspiracy theory....maybe they just wanted to play it.

Could be.. Yeah. I truly believe in my theory though, and thought it the very next day as we were walking into the 12/29 show (Wasn't on the floor that night).

Thunder Permalink
Thunder To me it's just a good opening song.

But here's another theory ... get everyone in the band a vocal as early as possible first show of a tour/run. Yeah I know it's not exactly an earth shattering observation for most phans that pay attention to setlist balance, but it's probably right.

12/28/12 ... the first night of the run and the first show in 4 months .... first 4 songs of Set I:
Stealing Time From the Faulty Plan (Trey), The Moma Dance (Trey/Fish), Funky Bitch (Mike), Army of One (Page)

Similar trend if you look back at the first sets of Woosta and Long Beach.

pnutmcsnappy Wait, is there a way to steal the webcast? Because I've been paying for them like a schmuck!

I'm always glad when they open a set with STFTFP because I am rarely on time for Phish shows. And I rarely get my shit together between sets in a timely fashion. This gives me an opportunity to get my water and find my spot before they actually start playing. On behalf of the slackers, I thank Phish for this opener. It's basically an extension of the ambient music. It's like they are telling me, "Hey, we are starting soon so get it together, slacker!"

Not a big fan of that song. Actually, when I'm standing in line for the bathroom or water I love it. It's such a relief.

You can now actually! I am able to post a thread again. I am going to. Just because a few people dislike me for reasons I don't know, doesn't mean that I should be afraid to post about Phish and make threads.

The voting down thread thing though is very frustrating. I never vote down anyone, when they call me names and make fun of me....

What gives? Seriously .net....

Google hubris.
I just did. I get that sometimes I may come off as someone like that. I feel like a super talent and have been praised and all of this stuff my entire life. I was raised by no one, until I started seeing Phish.

I just don't understand how I can put myself out here like I do, especially for all of my favorite people in the world and be treated like I am a piece of garbage by some.

Just the few people give me an ugly vision of the entire scene sometimes and I hate that.

I see .net as the veteran site where you learn about Phish. I waited for years to post. I did everything I was told, the right ways to do things in this community.

To be shunned, made fun of, taken advantage of, and ridiculed, even if it is just by a few people is just insane to me.

The fact that even for 20 minutes I was not able to start a thread today made me both sad and sick. I want to see the Phish veteran community as a place where I can learn and get advice from. Not the place that I envision right now.

I am all for talking Phish and this thread is an example of that. It turned into something else though and how is that my fault? I have to defend myself.

I would love to just not talk. "The less you speak the more you know" is from an old strangefolk tune, I forget which one. I heard that song when I was a kid and I always remember that line.

Please. If there are a crew of veterans, that I have not offended, take me under your wing. I can provide and will do anything for good advice, and to learn more and more.

Phish means everything to me. I want to keep things moving on and help others and learn also.
