Sell me on Phish
Posted on 8/30/14 at 9:37 pm

Yeah yeah, another Phish thread....
Listened to a little bit on YouTube earlier and wasn't turned off, but wasn't overly impressed... I can see glimmers of what some people may like.
If you could suggest one song to listen to in order to get someone interested, what would it be???
Also, why the hell does the drummer where a shower curtain?

Because he doesn't speak English.

You have to take some acid to get phish

You should try widespread panic, or better yet, the disco biscuits.

Well I wanna be with the cool kids... School me
If not Phish, some Widespread or Disco songs would be much appreciated.

I didn't say anything about becoming a fan boy... Just interested in hearing what is considered their best work in order to better understand the draw to them

I was just talking shite, I don't know where to point you in regards to those bands. I'm sure headybrosevelt will be happy to advise you on more great phish dates than you can handle. But here is a start.
NYE 1995 is great. Actually the whole month of December 1995 is consistently awesome so check it out 12/14/95 is also generally very highly regarded
12/6/96 was released as a DVD - Live In Vegas and is awesome
Again December 1997 was all pretty awesome 12/7/97 and 12/11/97 in particular. Also 11/22/97 in Hampton is great
"The Island Tour" is a must hear 4 shows from 4/2/98 through 4/5/98
The did a tour in japan in June of 2000 which is all worth checking out 6/14/2000 in particular
For some more recent stuff 12/29/2013 11/01/2013 10/29/2013 8/31/2012
All of the above shows can be streamed here LINK

Eddie, do you think I wear a flat bill?

no, i don't think so.

It's really something that has to be experienced in a live setting.
It probably won't make sense until you're there.
Tahoe Tweezer
4/3/98 - Roses Are Free
8/17/97 - Bathtub Gin
12/31/95 - Mike's Song
12/14/95 - Tweezer > Timber > Tweezer
12/31/93 - Harry Hood

Reading all the phish hype on here and worrying I might be missing out, I asked these bros the same question a few weeks ago. It's a complicated answer because apparently you have to listen to the live stuff to get it. If you don't get it after that, then you have to go to a show and really experience it to get it. If you still don't get it, then "sorry you don't get it lulz".
They have good jams, but you have to wade through some really cringeworthy vocals, lyrics, and songs to get there. The biggest standout to me was the tongue-in-cheek track "frick your face," an anthem about a boy and his uncooperative guitar that will literally make you embarrassed for them when he sing-talks about "gettin prrrruuutty pissed" and warning us that when he "gets mad, he gets red." Lol, oh no, watch out y'all, that pasty nerd is mad.
In conclusion, you'll probably find that Phish would be infinitely more listenable if they'd go on stage, use the mics to say hi and bye only, and just jam. And that goes for just about every jamband with "songs" ever.

The jams were good fifteen years ago
Now the vocals and jams suck. I really don't get all the hype from the 3.0fanboys like heady and trey
Their lights are sick though, that's about it
