Songs you're convinced we won't see again

Phish Live Shows
#18

Icc is right. I think they will shelve a LOT of stuff in favor of new tunes. That’s been their MO for their entire career. Letter to Jimmy Page? Alumni Blues? New tunes overshadowed the old ones, despite a few bust outs.

There is a great article on Jambands called “Let Phish be Phish”, regarding the band and musical progress. I think a lot of stuff from Undermind never got see the light of day in a live setting. I say, let them do what they will and progress. I would rather see Phish move forward and progress. Not become a nostalgia act!

I almost am willing to call out Augustus to see how he would respond to this. But i am not that cruel.

#20

I think we’ve seen the last of Mock Song…what was it only played once to begin with. Didn’t seem to catch on. Oh and I disagree with the Siket Disc response. I think they’ll continue to play What’s The Use.

#21

^ I agree to an extent…I hate to see them shelve anything FOREVER…but I will gladly take whatever I can get from the boys.

#22

Wait wait wait…hold on a second.

What do you mean it’s not 1993?

throws away slap-bracelet

#23

^ i guess i had better shelve my “grunge” flannels and chuck taylors too? damn. lol

#24

Scents and Subtle Sounds Intro

#25

so we all agree that “Jennifer Dances” and “Saw It Again” are still gonna be in rotation?

#26

Saw it Again opener would be so completely sick

I’m serious.

#27

Now that, my friends, is a damn shame.

#28

When have they ever played Riker’s Mailbox?

#29

Hmmm…

#30

I do not think we will see ‘Talk’ again. I however believe that Dog Log is game.

#31

^ Yeah I agree that Talk on 2/25/03 bustout was horrible. Trey couldn’t reach the high notes anymore.

#32

^^^Riker’s Mailbox has NEVER been played live. So is it really “shelfing” it if they’ve never played it live? Perhaps more a more pressing question is if a tree falls in the forest, and no one is around to hear it, will it sound like riker’s mailbox?

Lushington

#34

i’m gonna go out on a limb and say we’ve seen the first and last performance of ‘Grind’.

#35

Not the first.

I’m pretty sure we won’t get another “Dickie Scotland Song.”
