above setlist is directly from phish.net.  gotta give those people guy forget for their stats!

also, 2nd set was better than it looks.

Livephish.com is calling it "Ass Handed Reprise". I'm just now to Ghost though, so I'll chime in on what I think when I get there. Really digging' set one so far. The new song kinda blew, but that 20/20 Vision cover was apt and cool.

if chalkdust torture reprise is a song, then it was chalkdust torture reprise with ass handed lyrics.  if they played yem with alternate lyrics, it would be noted the same way.  let the discussions begin!

I would more equate this one to an Axilla/Axilla II  type of situation. It is definitely just Chalkdust Torture Reprise with Ass Handed lyrics, but that makes it feel like it warrants some sort of differentiating nomenclature. Plus, Trey even calls it "Ass Handed Reprise" and then Fish asks "Did we just invent a song?" as it is winding down.

I wonder if they will continue this with other songs this run. "Any song" reprise played over the original cdtr riff.

I like this idea. I can't wait to hear Tweezer Reprise Reprise.

IMO...

If "Guy Forget" was played at 2011-09-04(as listed on .net and livephish), then it was also played at 2019-12-28. "Guy Forget" shares a compositional form similar to "Catapult" and "Lengthwise", in that it is a poem that can be played under any harmonic setting and still count as a song. (See 2000-10-01 "Guy Forget" and compare that to the 2011-09-04 "Guy Forget".) This would be contrary to the "Set Your Soul Free" tease in "Gotta Jibboo", a song which has a definite harmonic setting for those lyrics, hence a designation of "tease/quote". (See 1995-12-01 "David Bowie>Catapult>David Bowie" and compare that to 1994-07-16 "Run Like An Antelope>Catapult>Run Like An Antelope".)

www.phish.net and PhishStats are calling it "Chalkdust Torture Reprise", while www.livephish.com is calling it "Ass Handed Reprise"-

A very wah-wah Weigh.

[mattstick]

The very funky "On Broadway" teases were just one highlight of a very fun show.

Maybe they watched All That Jazz pre-show.

Guy Forget should have its own -> here.
At the very least, it could be in the notes, which isn't the case on .net, .com or here.  :?

Also, if the guy on stage playing it says it's Ass Handed Reprise, then it's fucking Ass Handed Reprise.

Damn, I need a life.

[VDB]

Damn, I need a life.

My turn:

That is assuredly not a -> into Jibboo.

But you gotta feel good that the Ass Handed Reprise was played to completion!

How do we know if it was a FTP?
Perhaps there is a whole nother section that they didn't play?
