^ lol nail on the head… good call
YOU JUST CAN’T HANDLE THEME!! BITCH!!
seriously though. seriously? the more i think about it, i like what jaw said… nothing shelved, it’s just a matter of every tune having the right place, the right time - which i suppose is obvious in a way, but so true
If I am not going to be IN Hampton, I hope they shelve YEM, 2001, Fluffhead, Tube, Gin, and Jennifer Dances.
I hope they shelve Theme From The Bottom. Only tough guy frat boys think that’s a good song.
weird. i’m neither a tough guy or a frat boy and i like theme. weeeeiiiiiiiiird
ya know, with trey’s words of not wanting to become a “nostalgia act” i am made to believe that there’s gonna be a lot of new music on the horizon for phish and we might have some songs, that used to be in the regular rotation, not show up as often - maybe not shelved completely, but just less frequent and more of a treat when those older tunes are actually played.
but what do i know?

I just wanna hear a “The Connection -> Jam -> Access Me”
That looks about right. I would say that, YEM, David Bowie and Down With Disease were probably played the most post-hiatus.
That being said, shelve Down With Disease. I can’t stand that song.
Uh, “Mike’s Song” was played an awful lot, too.
im surprised by some of these shelves, i still stick with guyute, and maybe would even say leave fluffhead on the shelf.
I’d take a 50/50 mix.
^^ and ^
either would be fine for me. i would love it if they played a lot of new stuff. it would mean they are moving forward, not trying to get hung up on one thing for too long, thats one of the things that made phish great. it would also make this less of a reunion tour and more of a…new chapter?
Incidentally, I was just kidding about Theme. Just trying to get a rise out of Postal Hiatus Guy, who seems pretty angry lately. 
you set the hook… just real it in, greg. you were so close!
Ghost?? are you sure? Come on, Coventry did not live up in a lot of aspects but don’t put ghost on a shelf :’(, especially a funked out version like 7-23-97…
I could, however, stand to shelve Simple…and Theme as well. Also, It’s Ice is not a favorite of mine either, slightly too deep/dark for me in parts
Um,…your my guide to the universe dude.
You better know!
If I had to pick I would say Kung. Never really liked that or found much humor in it
Sparkle makes me want to kill. KILL. Fuckerpants, My Soul, Secret Smile, and some others need to go too.
^Everybody blasts My Soul, but I like it. Same with Character Zero. However, certain songs like Sparkle and Sample need to go.
If I had to pick one of the bigger songs to shelve, it’d be Guyute, and if it had to be a major jam vehicle, it’d probably be Bowie. Not that Bowie’s a bad song, its just I’d much rather hear a Mike’s, YEM, or a Reba to name a few.

Lots of surprising responses! I wouldn’t want to see any of that stuff shelved.
Personally I’d rather some of the more exhausted songs be played less frequently, but I can’t think of any one song that screams “shelf it!” … especially if they’re gonna play really well in general when they return.
Phish is returning.
I just like saying that.
