First Song at Hampton

[matty76]

Back on the Train    or    2001    or    Golgi Apparatus   or  Buried Alive into any of those 3 songs!

This is going to be the ULTIMATE party and no matter what they play will be better than sitting around dreaming about them coming back and playing again!!   

1st encore will be a Beatles cover as well.....

Whatever they open with... They should encore the third night with:
Journey - Faithfully

[keeb333]

Harpua-with a story about how Jimmy's favorite band dissbanded after playing together for 20+ years leaving him feeling empty and lost for over four years only to awake aboard the Mothership and realize it was only a horrible nightmare he was having due to alien abduction syndrome.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

That's funny, I was listening to Evolution yesterday and thinking that so many of those songs would be killer for them to do.....Faithfully is on Frontiers, but still....

[Marmar]

There's a Van Halen David Lee Roth song that comes to mind....

This Must Be Just Like Living In Paradise......

look up the lyrics, listen to the song, and picture Page singin it.....

dude. that's so weird. i was just having that same exact thought prolly while you were typing that.

Only a few people picked new song, but one explanation was great...  I'll come back to that

Not a cover...  There are really only a few songs that I'd even imagine the guys would consider (like 2001), but I just don't feel it.  If you led or were even a part of a band like Phish, I don't think I'd come back on someone else's song...  The chance only increases slightly when you make the song somewhat your own, like Cities maybe.

New original/not an older song:  I think they'd try to distance themselves from their former "reputations" or whatever.  I suppose I may be talking more of Trey here as well, but to come out with the song that started it all, or their old biggest hit doesn't seem Phishy.  Last time it was Chalkdust on SNL and I liked it...  Followed by a new song.  It still felt a little like a continuation of what had ended a couple years earlier.  I think with a chance to come back from a break again, they're going to at least try to do things differently and almost make a new name for themselves.  Maybe we get hella lucky and they hit the barn for a few months, coming up with some material that all of them create. 

I like different aspects of Mike's and Page's solo stuff and think that the stuff Mike and Trey wrote with the Duo was top notch.  I also remember reading how much they enjoyed WRITING together. 

I don't necessarily care what song is first, I'll have to take in the set, but my hope is for something to make a good statement that they're back and trying to tackle new musical hurdles by trying new things, or maybe even VERY old things (like reinventing a song that hadn't been played for 20 years)... 

I'd even enjoy the more obscure, like Spock's Brain or a long lead-in Guy Forget.

So my preference is for them to play something new, and for the aforementioned reasoning, that's also what I believe the first song will be.

down with disease!!!

[redrum]

just figured it out.


Makisupa Policeman*
*keyword= "Rehab"


It's their oldest original.
They can just ease in to it against the insanely deafening crowd that gets even louder once we realize it's actually Makisupa.
Trey mutters, "Woke up in the morning, ...........Rehab. Ha ha haha"
Jaws drop and kidz die laughing not believing he actually said rehab.
Then we start to realize we're about to experience one of the greatest three night runs in the history of ever and that this is how they decided to kick it off.
