alright, plenty of jambands play covers of zeppelin, the dead, the beatles…but NONE of them play phish covers. why is this?
I play Phish covers. I just havent been discovered yet. And Keller Williams does Phish songs sometimes.
I heard Steven Kellog and the Sixers (or something like that) do ‘Sample in a Jar’ at Gathering of the Vibes. They sucked.
steven kellog’s live shows are alright. i’ve seen him a couple times with just him on guitar and kazoo and a drummer, it was pretty sweet. he’s a great guy too, i’ve met him a few times.
i think everyone one know their songs are quite a challenge…plus, most of their stuff isn’t based on a rigid structure…people were more excited to see how it progressed rather than just happy to hear it…you know what i mean?
I have previously mentioned the Spring Heeled Jack cover of Makisupa Policeman in the Ska Bands thread. It’s horrible. They even make up their own lyrics. I’m glad there aren’t more bands doing this.
Umphreys did mikes song and weekapaug
Umphrey’s McGee at their april 1st show played the beginning of Divided Sky but then cut right into something else…they used to play a lot of phish covers(antelope, weekapaug, gin) in their early days
Once I get my band together, we will play Phish covers, and get big so ya’ll can follow us around. Also, whenever I play Phish tunes I find it very difficult not to stare at the ceiling while soloing out…haha.
see phix
Sci plays the wedge.
my band plays First Tube, Tube, Tweezer Reprize and Piper. It’s tough to capture that Phish feel but still kind of play like yourself, maybe that’s why more bands don’t do it?
SCI also used to play Poor Heart.
Ive seen Little Feat do Sample In A Jar , Phish covers Feat songs…Feat covers Phish , pretty cool.
i love SCI
Keller’s done a number of Phish covers…I have a show where he does Divided Sky and…I can’t remember, but there a are a couple of others…It is an older show, so I doubt if he covers many phish tunes anymore…I don’t even know if he is really a jam rocker…I don’t even know what a jamband is…Maybe I shouldn’t have posted anything.
Don’t be so hard on yourself.
Haha. This was one of my most unpleasant vibes moments ever.
I’m teaching myself how to play songs on guitar…That’s always fun.
Give it time. More bands will cover Phish. It’s a GIVEN!!!
