12/29/97 has to be probably my favorite tube (page rips it up)
true dat brohan. I am also taking an extreme likeing to burgettstown 09
Saw the timing for last night’s show…
3:28 Tube!?!
Shortest Tube ever? Gotta be!
^ Most likely, but when it debuted in I think 1990 it was regularly a 4 minute song.
Yep, wasn’t really extended until 1997.
Not that Neil would know that.
Hey! I did know that. I guess what I was implying that since 97 we’re accustomed to longer versions.
The longer versions were nice but the earlier stuff is just as tasty - but we are all missing that, I predicted a Ghost at Cincy (which I got), but missed on the GTBT by a night and that Tube by a night… Damn! 
man, please listen to the dayton 12/7/97 version. mike lays down such sick bass, esp. around 1:15-2:35
09 Tubes beat 2010 all day in my mind. Is it just me or was Page just complete ripping it to shreads in summer 09?
Yeah, I wish they’d chill and give this song more due. I feel like in this era, they’ve just decided that certain songs will be played a certain way, much like the Dead decided certain songs were “first set” or “second set” only songs (although we’re not quite there yet, thank God).
Tube is one of my favorites for sure, and I do agree with '09 being superior to '10 (check out Asheville '09). I’d say this tune got it’s “jam stamp” in '98, but had really good non-funk moments before that.
^ Star Lake '09 also was totally Tube-ular! 
Yes, that was a great “Welcome back” for me after 6 years.
This is one of the most fun Phish tunes to play on the drums.
Tube might be my favorite Phish song, lyrically speaking. I still can’t believe it’s a Fishman tune.
There’s a mummy in the clavinet!
^ 
I wish I could come up with a joke for “are there no more arrows left?” but I don’t think Page plays anything that begins with an A.
Anyway. 6/24/04 Tube is pretty jammed out and funky. Mike just carpet bombs the shit out of this thing. Page and Trey really hook up towards the end. Great version.
Also worth mentioning is 12/30/2003. There’s a sick Cactus breakdown in the beginning of the jam. They’re all ON for this one. Check it out. (the disease from that show is beautiful too)
Have you heard the 2/22/03 Tube? It’s pretty neat.
I’m ready for a nice 3.0 Tube, something longer that 5 minutes 
That’s what she said?
Uhhhhhhmmm Asheville and Star Lake 09 maybe? Only about 6-7 mins but still more than 5
