18 Nitrous Oxide Tanks Seized @ CT Phish show

no shit, you could hear nitrous spilling tanks leaving the parking lot at 1am...

what a waste..

It's very important that Phish fans be allowed to use all of the illegal substances they wish, as modern society is strongly counting on natural selection to take these shit-music loving fucks out of the picture before they get old enough to procreate.

Is there a LIKE button on here?

I like 12:33am

Peace, Love, and Nitrous man.

You'd have to be on nitrous to be able to tolerate that crap.

i wonder if this is because the nitrous mafia killed somebody at the gathering of the vibes

several grams of weed? that's it?

Without Phish, there wouldn't be Animal Collective - at least not the same AC. Phish is phenomenal live and it's ridiculous to try and deny that. You don't have to like their music, but don't call it crap.

But yeah, the fans are usually pretty moronic when it comes to just about anything else. They just have the nitrous tanks out in the open like their in some commune where laws don't apply.

hum that stuff is illegal? they had them out in the open in central park when Rat Dog played. No one made a fuss.

If there was no phish there would be no animal collective... that IS what you meant by AC .... right? Yeah... I'm sure animal collective lists fucking PHISH as an influence.... a bunch of dudes with guitars a bass and drums stoned jamming for way too long ... yeah that MUST have influence a few dude with a bunch of electronics... oh man MUST HAVE.

they cite The Grateful Dead as one of their biggest influences. They named their album after a venue that Phish has played numerous times. Have you listened to anything before Strawberry Jam? Their first four albums aren't all electronic. The influence is clear.

Job well done CTPD!

Your mom is clear.

Okay your right, let me rephrase... Animal collective uses stringed instruments and likes the grateful dead... AND named a record after a venue that Phish played at... DUGH.... why didn't I see it before... ANIMAL COLLECTIVE IS PHISH!

just got back from SPAC, shit was bizzar roayle, if you aint got no money take yo broke ass home

What a bunch of airheads!

Well.... I do recall seeing much nitrous being done outside the AC show @ Terminal Five... and now this.... HOLY CRAP AC IS PHISH

I LOVE HEROIN

i'm pretty sure the initials AC are reserved solely for Anal Cunt. goodness knows they craft better songs than Animal Collective, Phish, and the Greatful Dead all put together. that's right folks, Anal Cunt. get with it.

First let me state that I absolutely loathe Phish and their fans!

Second, I REALLY like Animal Collective!

I also LOVE music and HATE hipster d-bags!

Bottom line...as much as I cringe at their songs, Phish is around a milion times more muscially talented than Animal Collective. Any moron that thinks AC can play better than Phish knows NOTHING about music!

it really sucks when a post on here gets hijacked and ends up being about animal collective when they are not even mentioned in the post.

Animal Collective > Radiohead + Phish - the Dead = who cares

i fixed your post 2:03am..

SPAC!!

"Animal Collective > Radiohead + Phish - the Dead = who cares"

wow, just wow

anyone go to both hartford and spac? i went to hartford and it was incredible. although last night's llama opener, moma, golgi, and harpua 2nd set looks pretty sick

WEAK! Back in the 90s the Hartford police would shoot rubber bullets at the Dave Matthews Band tailgaters.

So lame

I wouldn't blame Phish for AC being around, if that's your question.

18 tanks getting seized in Hartford isn't really news (unless you're surprised that Hartford PD actually cracked down on something).

Forbins > Mockingbird and Icculus, however, is hotter than Band of Horses circa 2006.

I can't believe I'm saying this but the cops did everyone a favor. Nitrous is insanely bad for you, you're better off with heroin.

Nitrous is only bad for you if you don't breath enough oxygen or if you do enough of it to deplete your body of vitamin b12. Or if you do it standing up and fall down and hurt yourself. Basically, falling down, asphyxiating and vitamin b12 deficiency are bad for you. Nitrous is pretty safe if you are careful.

They must've been from Philly.

Without Phish there'd be no Anal Cunt, or any other Cunt. Phish pretty much invented the cunt.

the best nitrous i have ever had was outside the Neutral Milk Hotel show at the Mercury Lounge years ago. It was ice cold nitrous. Chewing off the fat is fun.

Phish plays an amazing show. The vast majority of the 25k people in the sold-out crowd didn't consume or have anything to do with nitrous. BV posts ONLY about nitrous. Sounds about right.

common guys, it's a faux pas to be into phish...please at least try and save -some- face...

I can't stop laughing!

I huffed mad loons post Hartford show. It was amazing!!!

11:07.... how do you know your buying medical grade nitrous at a show?? I've seen tones of dudes with small tanks tucked under their arms... hmmm... small tanks?? automotive nitrous?? anyone? hydrogen sulfide? try breathing THAT shit...

I did some mad Elmer's glue at a blues traveller show last year.

Just say 'meh'.

Brooklyn Vegan comments are the worst.

"11:07.... how do you know your buying medical grade nitrous at a show?? I've seen tones of dudes with small tanks tucked under their arms... hmmm... small tanks?? automotive nitrous?? anyone? hydrogen sulfide? try breathing THAT shit.."

3 grades of nitrogen to my knowledge, automotive, food, medical. theres a difference in taste and i believe automotive nitrogen has to have either a specific tank or valve on it.

Hartford was insanely good. Last night at SPAC had huge potential after the enormous first set, but they lost me a bit in the second. Even the Harpua couldn't bring the night on par with Friday's show, imo. Great end to the tour, though.

Nitrous Oxide sucks

Who gives a fuck what a bunch of Vegan New Yorkers think!?

"Put down your IPHONES! We're gonna have an illiterate generation soon! When was the last time you picked up a fucking book!? THE BOOK WAS WRITTEN BY THE GREAT AND KNOWLEDGEABLE ICCULUS!"

@10:44

"I can't believe I'm saying this but the cops did everyone a favor. Nitrous is insanely bad for you, you're better off with heroin."

This is the dumbest thing I have EVER read on a blog. How can you compare nitrous with heroin? You can get nitrous at a dentist or oral surgeon's office for fuck's sake! Unless you inhale half a tank at once the worst thing that will happen is that you will fall down. Of course it is not good for your brain cells, but how can you compare this with a horrible addictive drug like heroin? Heroin is a killer.

Very strange. You must have never done nitrous, that's for sure...

Most BV visitors aren't old enough to read-icculus

for all the phish haters, the 4 people with me at bonnaroo were talking mad shit about phish all weekend, and by the time phish got to the end of ac/dc bag on sunday night, all of them had huge grins on their faces and said "now i know why people like phish".

How are you ever going to learn anything if you don't pick up a FUCKING BOOK?

so how many of you haters have actually seen phish live?

here's a better question: how many of you haters have actually seen animal collective live? i hate to break it to you k00l kidz, but AC is totally a jamband.

they're both over most of your heads anyway, it seems. i beg it all trune for you.

Precious birthday fudge

I like Phish better than Animal Collective. But I'm not terribly fond of either.

phish puts on AMAZING shows so stfu
