so my buddy (and bandmate) recently began showing the teensiest, tinsiest reluctant bit of interest in a couple phish songs. they are: Free, Wading and Farmhouse (with nods to Bouncing and Maze). so i recently i bought him the “holy trinity” (billy, ghost, farmhouse). i told him to injest them slowly, so as to carefully assimilate the full effect of the sheer power. i told him to listen to them as he would a beatles album, or his most prescious ryan adams. anyway, i’m also putting together live renditions of all three albums so once he starts feeling the studio versions, his face can be blown the fuck off. i began with re-creating Ghost. the tracklisting goes as such:
ghost 11/17/97
birds of a feather 7/15/98
meat 8/11/98
guyute 10/05/00
fikus 8/01/98
shafty 4/05/98
limb by limb 10/05/00
frankie says 8/16/98
brian and robert 10/06/00
water in the sky 12/30/97
roggae 7/19/98
wading 10/07/00
moma dance 8/03/98
and i included “saw it again” from 9/30/00 to round out the ghost-trilogy, and also because there’s no live “end of session”.
so what i’d like you guys to do, if you would like, is to give me suggestions for good renditions of the songs on the other two albums. think them up as if you were making them for yourself. i love seeing/hearing the different tastes of all of you. i don’t own a whole shitload of shows, that’s why i ask. i love Phish, but you are the pros here! ;D
anyway, thanks in advance!
