Best Post Hiatus Jam

Phish Live Shows
#1

[color=green]i thought it might be cool for people to upload these to the thread via http://www.sendspace.com/ so folks can sample the list. i happened to have a few of these on my desktop (thanks to the post-hiatus project over at etree) so i’ll start things off.

[color=green]i’ll toss more on as i have time. it may be a bit before people start voting so i’ll bump the thread every now and then. enjoy.

NICE!

i’m going to have to study the list a little more at work before I make my decision.

#3

:-/

went with the 8/12 SASS since out of the bunch this was the one I danced to live, plus it is a nice jam

#6

crap… looks like a monster too… 25 minutes. well we can dub the “other” as crosseyed…

thanks for the upload will!

#7

^
it’s all good…i voted for the “Gumbo.”

BUT I would have voted, no question, for the CE+P…gorgeous way to open the second set of a legendary show!

#8

i voted for 6/20/04 twist. that entire second set should really be up there but this is prob the stand out song of the night. talk about funk. this truely was phish’s last stand and i was glad to have balcony seats for it!

honorable mentions:

2/22/03 Gin
2/26/03 Moma
2/28/03 Tweezer
7/13/03 Seven Below
6/19/04 Piper

6/23/04 Gin is what i voted for. just for the simple fact that i was gettin rocked by some chocolates and this gin sent me into a nasty spin, i sweated through two shirts before i finally snapped out of it when they started Ya Mar. it was the Gin jam that got me.

probably not the best overall, but it did a number on me, i’ll never forget it.

otherwise, i love the 2/28/03 Tweezer, 2/26/03 Moma/Maze/Stash, 2nd set 6/20/04, 12/31/03 Chalk->Slave->Chalk (it’s a fun one that’s not on here), 6/24/04 Antelope

here’s a nice copy of the 6.19.04 piper: http://www.sendspace.com/file/tc95vj

if anyone has a solid source of the twist from the next night i would love to hear it. listened to a crappy aud copy a while back and it didn’t grab me… but i think it was solely due to the quality.

edit: was thinking that maybe i should keep copying the sendspaces down with the new ones so people don’t have to hunt through… here’s the bunch:

2/22/03 Tube - http://www.sendspace.com/file/ypdtx1
2/22/03 Gin: http://www.sendspace.com/file/997vj5
2/28/03 Tweezer: http://www.sendspace.com/file/vozro3
6.19.04 Piper: http://www.sendspace.com/file/tc95vj

#11

this is definitely a tough call…at first glance, for me it’s between some pretty standard choices, like 6/19 piper, 2/28 tweezer, IT ghost, Miami Free {actually not a standard PH choice, but it seems to take Free to another level…at least for me}

^that Gin is def pretty tasty too…haven’t heard since june 04 though…

i think i need to listen to many of these again, but i’m tempted just to go with 6/19 piper…

great poll regardless

#12

guys, there is a hugely overlooked jam here. i didnt even realize i had it until last night, and listened to it.
7-15-03
Mr. Completely->Lowrider Jam->BBFCFM->Buried Alive->BBFCFM->Ha Ha Ha->BBFCFM->Mr. Completely

its amazing. im voting other, cuz it should be on the list.

#13

^ You took the words right off my keyboard! That is THEEEEE best jam post hiatus and i will argue it til the death! All the other’s mentioned are great but the Utah MR. Madness takes the cake. i guees it helps that i was there along only 8500 or so other’s!

EDIT: I just voted for the SPAC Twist as it is my favorite on the list! I could have voted other but that still does not give the Completely jam credit! You also missed the Drowned from Spac as it is titties as well!

#14

here’s teh crosseyed… it got left off the list but i happened to have it handy. someone mentioned that mr. completely earlier as i was pulling the list together… i just spaced on it.

2/22/03 Tube - http://www.sendspace.com/file/ypdtx1

#15

I gotta vote for the 2/28/03 Tweezer. I fucking adore this Tweezer. The 6/20/04 Twist is right up there.
Doesn’t this thread help prove why post-hiatus was worth it?? There’s so many great jams here…

#16

C&P 7/29/03!

#17

Having listened to the 7/29 and 2/22 picks, I still have to say that the 2/28 Tweezer is my pick. However Willy B I will concede that this Tube > Bathtub Gin is the shit. Especially the Gin; I think that might be my favorite Gin ever (yes, even more than the Great Went!!).

#18

I went with the 2/28 Tweezer, because it is something that I go back to over and over again and it is one of my favorites regardless of time period. I would still have made the same choice either way, but as stated before the 7/15 Mr. Completely has got to be on this list. It is really amazing and without a doubt would be my second choice.

#19

There has been a reason I’ve been pumping this show since I signed onto this wonderful place.

I’m glad the sendspace is letting new ears hear it.

#20

I picked the 2/28/03 tweezer… 7/25/03 Hood and the Alpine Valley YEM should be up there.
