First Song at Hampton

[fauxpaxfauxreal]

Soul Man!  (featuring barack obama on tamborine!)

[lifeboy13]

Lengthwise to Open and Lengthwise for the last song of the four song encore on Sunday!! Now that would be cooool!!

[Gumbo72203]

actually, I've been thinking that Character Zero is a highly likely choice for first song.  Its simple, so the guys can warm up to playing, with a big Trey solo.  And then the lyrics are kind of relevant....

[rowjimmy]

Let's us review, shall we?

my guess is:

The Curtain With, to start things off in the way they should have ended.
A new song, to show that they have new stuff.
Get Back On The Train, well...  for obvious reasons. 
Fluffhead/YEM/Divided Sky, to show that they actually give a shit this time. 
2001, because of what August said about a 10-minute intro before Fish drops the beat
Glide, because that would be cool because of the lyrics.

these all make sense, but I'm really pinning it on a new song or Fluffhead. 

it'll actually probably be Stash, or something.  or Terrapin Station > Ghost > Colonel Forbin's Ascent* > Jennifer Dances > Fly Famous Mockingbird

* - with narration about the 'worst song we ever wrote'

How about an I Am Hydrogen opener?  THAT would be way cool and unexpected.  I Am Hydrogen > Weekapaug Groove > Mike's Song > Simple > Prince Caspian.  Inverted Mikes Groove!

New song. Please.

ill throw my money on this, even though I'm sure I'll be disappointed, unless its completely fucking SICK.

you know........  I think I like the Makisupa opener.  They opened the Went with it; even though I think this is one of the worst choices for a show opener, it would make sense here.  It would bring it full circle from the "woke up in the morning....  in Whitehall"  to "woke up in the morning.....   in rehab"  or "woke up inthe morning....   in Phish/in Hampton" or something.

hmm....   

i wonder how much they will factor that in? (the crowd level).  It would make sense, seeing as its kind of what they did with the first reunion, with Piper: slow, quiet lead in because everybody is drowning it all out anyway.  This is what makes me think, now, that they WONT do Tube, or something like that.  Actually, as I was playing drums the other day, I thought about hwo PERFECT Ghost would be. 

i think i'm calling Ghost now.  WITH loops!!! 

ACTUALLY, I know what song they'll be opening with.  Its all so clear now.

Think about it...   Okay.  Its going to be loud as all fuck in there.  That means a song that takes a little bit to get going, ala Piper in MSG.  But it'll also need to be something that builds to a fast, burst-out rock-hose type sorta thing, kind of like Piper, with how it builds up and gets really fast.  But then also...  it'll need to be reflective, and appropriate for the context of everything. 



Come on...  think about it.  What song has all 3 of these? 






still stumped?








oh come on....  THINK HARDER!!!!







okay, want me to tell you?







fine, i'll tell you:








MAZE!!!





Its perfect. 

Verse:
The overhead view is of me in a maze.
And you see what I'm hunting a few steps away.
But I take a wrong turn, and I'm on the wrong path.
And the people all watching enjoy a good laugh.
Embarrassed with failure, I try to reverse
The course that my tread had already traversed.

Verse:
So doing the trauma engulfing my dreams
Invaded through what was an unguarded seam.
The torrent of helplessness swept me away.
To the cavern of shame and the hall of dismay.
Inside me a voice was repeating the phrase:
"You've lost it. You'll never get out of this maze."

Bridge/Outro:
You'll never get out of this maze

i think they might open with Slave now...  its got a slow, quiet intro, and is a great jam vehicle. 

I just feel like they're not going to be doing Harry Hood, 

there will be a Hood encore in Hampton '09.

that was taken entirely out of context.  Of course they'll play Harry Hood.  I was meaning just not as an opener to any set. 





edit:  I could see Simple being an opener.  But I definitely don't see them blasting out with David Bowie.  Although they might.  I mean, it would work for the occasion, but unless they're spending 5 hours in the practice room 5 days a week for the 2 months beforehand, then I wouldn't want them to warm up with Bowie. 


My official list of possibilities:

Maze
Ghost
2001
Simple
new song
Slave To The Traffic Light

Yes, I'm tossing out YEM and Curtain With.  They won't open with those.  Its just weird, and too....  predictable.  And thats teh LAST thing Phish would be, is predictable.

well, actually...  Phish being unpredictable could mean that they'll be predictable.  The predictable thing to do would be to open with YEM or the Curtain With.  OORRRRR!!!!   YEM > Curtain With (out of nirvana space) > YEM.  THAT would be fucking DIZZANKKK

but yeah.  I think they might end up doing the unpredictable thing and be predictable.  How odd would that be?

opening song predictions:

Ghost
Divided Sky
Maze
new song
2001

how do you all feel about a Brother opener? 

Now THAT would fuck shit up realllllll quick



edit:   This just got me thinking....    what are the songs that you think would make people go apeshit the most.  Like, yeah...  okay...  a Ghost or YEM opener would be awesome, but I think there are certain songs that would make people bug more than others.

my list:

Halley's Comet
Tube
Brother
Buried Alive
Mike's Song
Colonel Forbin's Ascent
Divided Sky
Mango Song

actually, I've been thinking that Character Zero is a highly likely choice for first song.  Its simple, so the guys can warm up to playing, with a big Trey solo.  And then the lyrics are kind of relevant....

So... in summary:

you just guessed the whole catalog, Nostradamus.   :-D

[ytowndan]

 

Well done, RJ. 

And, gumbo...for the record I already posted the correct answer 24 pages ago.

YEM

because it's only been almost 2 months.
we've got three more to go...
so keep guessing gumbo.
you've still got plenty of time to figure it out.

:lol:

[bluecaravan521]

 :lol: Epic quoting rj.  Keep 'em coming Gumbo!

I'm putting my money on The Curtain (With)...I'll post the audio but I think Trey actually quoted it during one of his Northern Exposure shows during the Back on the Train at Lupo's.

[candyman]

Me thinks he just wants to quote one of them and say, "told ya!!"
