Buddy Miles was Jimi’s drummer in Band of Gypsys-I would love to see another Jimi influenced song taken off the shelf. “ Them Changes ” 11.30.97 E, Worcester, MA (Buddy Miles)Įveryone (including this guy) wants Phish to bust-out “Izabella” again.

Alas, it’s been a Spanish New Moon (despite the “Skin it Back” head fake.) Getting down at this show, I felt confident “Spanish Moon” was going to be added to the Phish cover repertoire. It has been very surprising to me that for whatever reason Phish has yet to take a song from this Halloween show and turn it into a regular staple of their own a la “Drowned,” “Crosseyed and Painless,” and “Rock N Roll.” Trey indicates that this is one of their favorite songs and they crush this version like UNLV crushed Duke in 1990. Waiting for Columbus is one of my favorite albums, so it was pretty special to see Phish absolutely nail it. Speaking of musical costumes, the last Halloween costume Phish donned was Little Feat’s Waiting For Columbus. “ The Rover ” 6.24.10 I, Camden, NJ (Led Zeppelin) Played as the encore on the anniversary of Jerry’s death, I have been at every Phish show on August 9th since and have selected “Terrapin Station” as my bust-out in our setlist game every time. I get goose bumps every time I hear that roar. The roar from the crowd after Laettner’s last second shot vs UConn has nothing on the roar from the crowd as it processes what is about to go down on 8/9/98. “ Terrapin Station”8.9.98 E, Virginia Beach, VA (Garcia/Hunter) Miner already had a perfect take on this moment. I don’t need to say much about this one because Mr. This NYE opening number was the perfect song at the perfect time in the perfect place in Phishtory. Unlike almost every other song on this list, I don’t think Phish should ever play “Garden Party” again. MSG has seen some awesome basketball and some awesome Phish. MSG has hosted the Big East Conference tournament since 1983, the same year Phish was formed. Speaking of basketball, a moment of silence for the Big (Ball Jam) East who after this season will look dramatically different. “ Garden Party“ 12.31.12 I, New York, NY (Ricky Nelson) Storming the court, this nearly 45 minute deep and winding jam moves in and out of “Low Rider,” “BBFCFM,” “Buried Alive” and “Ha Ha Ha.” One of the best 2.0 jams period, and yet played only once by Phish.

This is the greatest one and done jam Phish has ever played. I love jams-strawberry, grape, Lebron during warm-ups, and of course Phish. Completely ” 7.15.03 II, Salt Lake City, Utah (Anastasio) One and done-a fate that has befallen many tournament teams and over 300 Phish songs‚- is the theme of my Readers Picks… songs that Phish has only played once. Filling out your brackets (be it your basketball picks or favorite Phish jams of 3.0 or all-time), upsets possible almost in every game, excitement of the buzzer beaters, split screens, watching David (Bowies) go up against (dried up) Goliaths (and a weasel names Fee) and the win or go home nature of the tournament.

Pools open in Vegas (alas no Phish again this year). Emails with phriends putting said plans in-motion. All selections and text by Josh Finkenberg and Done”
