First Song at Hampton

[Gumbo72203]

wow.  i feel honored.  I...  yeah.  haha. 

anyway, today at work I thought about how great Bathtub Gin would be.  I think Trey would go for that, because it totally takes the focus off of him, with Page's discordant crazy cascades of piano quirkiness.  I really don't think they'll go there, though. 

As much as all of the songs I've talked about would be great, I really still think Maze is my number one call.  That, or Ghost.  or Tube. 

actually...  Tube could work real well:  an asteroid crashed and nothing burned.  Phish as asteroid.  It crashed, and nothing burned. 

or they might just do Piper all over again.  Its already got hiatus-ending set placement status... 


so really, i guess my main final list (as of right now) is:

Maze
Piper
Ghost
Tube
Chalkdust (which is actually my number 2 choice)

also note that these are not MY personal picks of what i'd want. 


.....but watch them come pull fucking Divided Sky

[WhatstheUse?]

keep up the good work Gumbo, keep up the good work....... :lol:

[redrum]

.....but watch them come pull fucking Divided Sky

now that i could totally see happening.

...I could sure see a "With" jam happening in the first set, to close the door on Coventry. But that's not exactly on topic, I suppose.

[Gumbo72203]

thats what makes me thing they'll do, like, Maze and THEN The Curtain With.   

embarrassed with failure, I try to reverse the course that my tread had already traversed...

or Curtain With > Maze.

[PhishPhan]

Now that I think about it, Bathtub Gin might sound pretty good. I suppose any song played over 200 times would also sound good . Meh, I'll just settle with Bouncing Around The Room...

[sandcastles]

DWD

or maybe Sex Machine? :mrgreen:

DWD would be SO sick!!! I could see it happening too, it seems the band has always liked this song, and the ambient intro would get the crowd going wild!

I would like a straight up rocking disease, 94-95 style, no bullshit, just Trey ripping it up!!!

[Gumbo72203]

ehh...   i don't think it'll be Down With Disease. 

Well, actually....  thinking about the first lines, it could totally make sense.  that, and it gives the spotlight to Gordon at the beginning, which would be cool.

sooooooo..........does it make the "Main Final List (as of right now)"?

[Caravan2001]

Llama, fo shizzle...

[Phunkaddict]

All Things Reconsidered>You Enjoy Myself!!!  Glide>YEM would be even better

^^^^then I woke up

[sunrisevt]

I'm gonna stick with "Wilson," with five or ten minutes of the opening vamp, thereby letting the n00bs get their sing along and "woo"-ing out of their system for a few songs.

And I credit my man Tyler for calling it.

[VA $l!m]

the other day i decided i want reba...not necesarily first song, but that be very cool as well in my book.

[Mr Minor]

I know it won't happen, but I would still like to see them open second or third night with Help>Slip>Franklin's.  It would blow people away and never be expected.

But I know it won't happen and don't mean to imply Phish should cover Dead tunes.  But it would be sweet.
