Band members instrumental talents...

I think Lawnboy showcases some of Mikes talent. Tube is a song that depending on which one you are listening to, can show any one of the boys’ talents.

Just listen to junta and focus on one member at a time.

Oh yeah, I love that one part where he goes nuts on the woodblocks.

All of them on YEM, Reba, & Fluffhead. Mike on Wolfman’s, BEK, 2001, Tube. Trey on Bowie, Antelope, and too many to name. Fishman on Wolfman’s, Tweezer, 2001. Page on Hood, Gin.

i think fishmans especially on in TTE. i always thought the banter between page and trey on fluffhead was a good testament to them. i like mike on soam, but he just usually rocks in general

How about Mike on that Island Tour Cavern? Makes me shiver every time.

But if I had to pick for each member I would say:

Trey - Antelope or Bowie, hard to say which
Page - Tube
Mike - Island Tour Cavern
Fish - well maybe Foam, but pretty much everything

going back to the one song each…

Trey: CZero (like the pick or not, the man is a wah-pedal guitar player, so this is right up his alley)
Mike: Moma, yes, but i’m partial to his placements in YEM
Page: Coil (Gin and Lizards CLOSE 2nd place)
Fish: NICU or Glide (he plays four different time sigs in glide!!!)

Page in Lizards good call… that piano solo is mindboggling.

Fish: GLIDE all the way! Stash and Taste get honorable mention.

No, but seriously. Glide.

Mike=Harry Hood

Yes i agree with this. Also Free showcases the cactus funk no matter what. 2001 sometimes. Basically anything that Mike uses the envelope filter on makes me wanna piss myself.

EDIT: And Tube for Page. Page drops the dirty, nazty mudfunk on that song.

^Page rips tube apart

Fishman on Glide…

also Page in Squirming Coil, but Lizards is my personal fave

PHISH :wtf: :mrgreen: :astonished: :open_mouth: :smiley: :crazy: :thumbup: :clap: They blow me away every day!

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…
