Pick one live selection...

Hypothetical question here…

Say you meet Kevin Shapiro and he tells you he’ll play one selection from any Phish show you choose. (from the archives style). This could be a single tune or a segued group of songs, like Ghost > Slave from 7/4/99, or a Mike’s Groove, etc.

What would you pick?

I felt my selection was something worthy of ‘archive status’ and not necessarily from an outstanding show that would warrant its own complete release. Feel free to make it from a show you attended - I did. :wink:


I have many candidates, but after some thought, I ended up with Meat > Harry Hood, 11/13/98, Cleveland, OH.

Even though the Hood isn’t a best-ever, the most epic Meat deserves a soundboard birth!

Set two of 1997-12-06

Can’t break that sucka up.

DWD->Tweez->DWD->Johnny B Goode

Gorge 97

Colonel Forbin’s Ascent > Fly Famous Mockingbird 5-28-89 N.Y.

Harry Hood 12/08/89

When I requested the Bozeman Tweezer, Kevin played it.
So, yeah…

^ You da man!

What would be your next choice? Or are you retired now?

I requested the 05-22-2000 Ghost for the last broadcast, but he already played that on the Warfield FTA shows (check his myspace for the full sets.)
I guess a nice 12-02-1995 Tweezer would be nice or a 07-06-1994/2000 Reba.
I speak to him every few months so throw out some ideas and I’ll put a word in for the next FTA show.

If a better SBD copy exists, I would love to hear the 1991-04-20 YEM>Setting Sail.

As well as the rest of the show down the road…

Nothing like going for a drive, smoking a d00b and cranking Setting Sail!

11.17.97 the entire show

BOtT<Twish<Fukuoka Jam 1<Walk Away<Fukuoka Jam 2<2001
Live Phish 4 6.14.00

Buried Alive -> AC/DC Bag -> Ghost -> Cities

7-6-98

Boogie On Reggae Women -> Meatstick 9/18/1999 Chula Vista, CA

I don’t understand… these are already released in pristine SBD form.

11-23-1997 BEK comes to mind…

8-12-93 2001 Landlady>Tweezer>Landlady>reggae jam>Lizards

12/5/95 set 2. Especially the YEM

6/26/95 set 2 Especially Down With Disease-> Free

I know i was only supposed to pick one.

Sorry

It felt real good that night.

Even with a pretend gun to my head, I still have trouble narrowing this down to a “selection.”

I feel like if I pick one set or a string of songs from a show I’m insulting all of the other shows.

And I just don’t want to do that.
