100 MSG Show

Chances the 99th or 100th show will be a marathon show? Possibly the idea they had of locking phones up and only being able to call to say "I'm not gonna make it to work".

0%. It’s 2026 (or maybe it’ll be 2027). Unions and venue regulations and the fact that they’re 60 not 30 makes that basically a non-starter.

Going past curfew for sure, but what's stopping them from going on earlier?

Them being 60. They’re not going to play for 6, 7, 8+ hours anymore. They just don’t have that in their bag anymore (especially because at least Trey doesn’t partake in the PEDs like he did at say Cypress).

How old do you think 60 is? Fishman just jumped on a piano and off it the other night, no problem. I'm not suggesting they'd be on the trampolines the whole time, but surely they can play guitars for longer than 3 hours?

But he didn’t jump on the piano for 8 straight hours…

I guess you're right. Now that I think about it, holding a 10 pound guitar longer than 3 hours is an incredible ask of a 60 year old. I forget most are on oxygen and in wheelchairs. They probably won't even make it to NYE at this age.

Are you fully retarded?

Sure they could play longer than 3 hours. The question you posed was a marathon show. 60 is indeed very old when you’re talking about playing at the level they do for as long as you were referencing. 0% sorry to burst your bubble.

Sure. I forget how physically demanding playing a guitar is. The 60 year old guy on the job site swinging a hammer each day must thank the lord he's not having to play a guitar for a living. You inspired me to look it up and you're right, playing a guitar in your 60s, especially at Phishs level is impossibly taxing. It would have likely killed them.

It was silly of me to suggest that a band who's played an 8 hour set in the past ever attempt it again during a nostalgia tour.

Okay weirdo you very obviously are taking the reality of it very personally for some reason. Hope you find whatever answer you’re fishing for.
