ha! long time mike…havent talked to ya since the gorge!
yo i got your email about meeting up with you and kotke in NY…ill keep ya posted
Light My Fire
seriously?
horrible idea there… guy
any They Might Be Giants song. It would be nuts to see a 2 minute plus little diddy get jammed out.
Plus their ditties are like … they must use their tunes as examples when they teach Advanced Placement Ditties classes. Phish could make that shit come alive better than TMBG.
i am a scientist, guided by voices
i’m a wheel, wilco
marquee moon, television
secret journey, the police
i am the resurrection, the stone roses
one angry dwarf, ben folds five
love is like oxygen, sweet
gone so long, chilliwhack
dead man’s party, oingo boingo
Zeppelin’s Houses of the Holy!
Love this idea. These songs seem right up Phish’s alley and some could be taken in quite a few neat directions by a more experimental live band like Phish. I think I’m going to the next Phish show with a huge “Twistin” sign.
The TMBG song that I could see get jammed out is spy or possibly a self called nowhere
It’s a bit of a cliche but they could easily jam on Instanbul as well…TMBG already does a nice little guitar intro to it when you see them live.
Instead of them doing A Day in the Life encore, they should swap it out with Mean Mr. Mustard->Poly Pam->She Came in the Bathroom Window.
oh k. guy.
1983 a merman i sould turn to be- hendrix…absolutly my favorite hendrix song …and i could see phish absolutly killlllllling in and makin this sung a long cover perhaps…fish would nail the drum part about half way through with the epic hang time from mitch mitchell on that one part…and who wouldnt want to hear this song live…
also…
how many more times…zeppelin…i was praying to god they would cover it at fest 8 but they chose exile instead which was cool
any brain jonestown massacre song…this band is epppppic …and phish could do a cool version of
wisdom…or “love” or straight up and down …if u arent fimiliar with this band they are/were in the 90’s…a neo phsychedelic rock band and u should check them out if you like pshcyedelic indie music…indie is ok not my thing really but this band is killer
sittin on top of the world-cream
The Cars-Shake It Up 
i would boycott phish if they did any dave matthews song (unless dave was an actual guest of course).
but back on tmbg songs that phish should play, i would love to hear self called nowhere, but i think it’s a bit too silly, even for phish. although i bet they would kill on a song like see the constellation, how can i sing like a girl or xtc vs. adam ant
Oh stop it. Phish covering a Dave song would be awesome. Don’t knock it til you hear it.

Went to this carnival, three years ago.
No big deal, ferris wheel, the same ole’ stuff you know.
There was a man outside with a speech outside a tent,
And he said it to me, and this is how it went.
Folks, you know she walks, she talks,
She crawls on her belly like a reptile.
Same ole’ line except one part,
You don’t need no money, boy, you pay with your heart
Oh Sharon, what do you do to these men?
You know the same rowdy crowd that was here last night is back again.
Wandered around, and looked around for a seat.
The light went low, and the band played a beat.
Out came this girl, wearing a scarf and sleeves
Did a little dance that made me weak in the knees.
That girl, she danced like her back had no bone.
The band played a tune called the Main Street Moan.
She smiled a smile the whole world could see.
She turned around, and she looked right at me.
I must have jumped six feet in the air,
And when I came down, that girl wasn’t there.
Oh Sharon, what do you do to these men?
You know the same rowdy crowd that was here last night is back again.
Out came this guy with a big ole’ beard,
And furry arms, man he looked like a bear.
He said that all there is, there’s no more to the show
If you wanna breathe right, I think you better go.
I didn’t think twice, headed straight for the door,
And when I left, I heard that big bear roar
Oh Sharon, what do you do to these men?
You know the same rowdy crowd that was here last night is back again.
Every time that carnival came, I was right there.
Lord, I learned to stay away from that mean ole’ bear.
Just like the man said from his speech at the start,
When that carnival left town it took a piece of my heart.
I still get this funny feeling way down in my bones,
Whenever I hear a band play the Main Street Moan.
Oh Sharon, what do you do to these men?
You know the same rowdy crowd that was here last night is back again.
Oh Sharon, what do you do to these men?
You know the same rowdy crowd that was here last night is back again.
very bluesy for Phish, but the place would go nuts if they played this on second night of a two night run…another band most of you all hate covers this song
