Band members instrumental talents...

1 song each:

Trey: Antelope (fluff definitly 2nd)
Page: McGrupp (coil definitly a close 2nd)
Fish: Yem
Mike: Paug

i’m gonna go out on a limb and say scent of a mule for page - i feel like you have to be pretty talented to improvise over that song (or a song of that genre…whatever category you would put that in) and he does it really well. of course foam, bathtub gin, and squirming coil for page as well

whoops i forgot that page rocks at suzy greenberg!

Was watching Its Ice from the Clifford Set the other day and thought that both Trey and Mike were just smoking that whole fing thing. Might be my song vote for both of them.

In no particular order at all,

Fish - TTE, Reba, Limb by Limb, Rift, Foam, David Bowie, Heavy Things, Piper (He always seems to lead
the jam).

Mike - Boogie On, Moma Dance, Ghost, Sneakin’ Sally, Wolfman’s Brother, Free.

Page - Squirming Coil, Tube, Frankenstein, Loving Cup, Ya Mar, Weigh.

Trey - Stash, Heavy Things, Maze, The Divided Sky, Waste, Possum.

Thats a fairly quick synopsis from me…

Always loved mike on it’s ice…

Trey - antelope, dwd, weekapaug
Page - Coil, Gin, lizards, yem
Mike - hood, weekapaug
Fish - taste

fishman - fluffhead
trey - YEM
page - reba
mike - contact

Page- YEM,Maze, It’s Ice, Coil, Tube, McGrupp
Trey- Bowie, Maze, It’s Ice, Antelope (He stands out toward the end of pretty much any jam these days too)
Fish- Undermind, Some Funky Bitches, any early compositional piece. FrankenStein
Mike- YEM jam, 2001, Boogie On!, Free

Fish: Limb by Limb (vocals included), Taste (again, vocals), TTE (vocals? in and out of focus, in and out of focus? Is that fish and Page, or just Page?) Anyway, amazing drum part…

EVERY song is a good song for mike gordon to showcase himself. have you ever watched his hands during a song? i don’t think they ever stay in one place for more than a couple measures at a time :open_mouth:

Trey - Antelope
Mike - Antelope
Page - Antelope
Fish - Antelope

Yeah this is what I don’t get about Mike. I play bass, and I just cannot understand the amount of movement across the fretboard that he does. It’s extraordinary. I really really really wish I had a five-string, because that helps tremendously, but still, he plays in all kinds of different octaves and shit that is constantly changing. He is the most dynamic bass player I have ever listened to. People will say, oh Victor Wooten is better, well that’s bullshit. Victor can do some cool stuff with his bass, but as a real, functional bassist that plays with a band and doesn’t dominate the sound, Mike is the best I’ve ever heard.

I view him in exactly the same light!

^Me too. Mike is insane on bass. A drummer’s dream! Shit that goes for all four of them for that matter… :crazy:

Equally impressive are Trey’s fingers during the composed portion of Reba. :open_mouth:

especially the part where he’s playing “follow the leader” with page. that would break my concentration so fast, i could probably do that with a simple scale or something for a few bars but that part is just all over the place!

Mike-Tweezer, Ghost, 2001
Fish-Limb By Limb, Taste, Tweezer
Page-Tube, Lizards, YEM, Ginseng Sullivan
Trey-obvious. pretty much everything.

I’m not really sure what part of Reba you’re talking about. What time on the Lawn Boy version? Sometimes though, in a jam, Page is like Trey’s human loop station. I hear him copying Trey’s progressions so Trey can solo over it.

its at 4:50 in this one. trey and page play the part together then they do it again but trey follows one beat behind starting at 5:25 :crazy:
