I had an epiphany-like moment while listening to Tela in our car late Saturday night at Bonnaroo.
I was talking about Phish with this girl I met, and she started talking about Tela. I happened to have 8.8.98 set 2 handy. I owe much thanks to Page’s voice for how things went that night.
giggity.
Love the lyrics to this. May not make much sense, but what exactly about this band ever did/does?
I’m confused by that post.
stares impatiently
Tela is great, but it ain’t no Tube.
Tela is a necessary respite at times at shows, and is a wonderful song for that purpose. Unfortunately, the more powerful songs are always better remembered and Tube is definitely that.
I felt that I could help.
the original tela was so much better than the versions played in the 90s. tube is just too good of a funk machine.
Sorry, I guess I should have mentioned somewhere in there that I was referring to “Tube”.
1,000 pardons, sir. 
Tela was the one that got away. I always was calling for it, but never got it. 7/3/00 I thought it might finally be my time, but it was TMWSITY, alas. Maybe it’s out of spite, but Tube got the vote.
I’m am so disappointed by the way voting has turned out here.
Without Tela, Phish would’ve broken up in 1990.
Hank,
you wanna start up 10 new OKP accounts each and try to take Tela all the way? Double-team her as it were.
it’s tempting, but we’ve gotta be fair
I think I’ve settled on Tube.
I prefer the reworked 90s Tela to the old one with the vulgar crooked hut.
And I’ve been digging this 11/16/1990 (I think it is) Tube which doesn’t have that bluesy tempo change during Trey’s solo … and there’s also this far out, staggered musical intro to Page’s first solo that I never heard in other versions. It’s pretty wild. But not necessarily better or worse than how Tube normally is … I just wanted to keep typing.
I think the fact that most post-96 versions of “Tube” were, quite possibly, the essence of the new Phish funk sound, will drive “Tube” (even as a 7 seed) farther than people think. Possibly into the Sweet 16 or Elite 8.
Man, that post sounds so wise. Neil the sage.
Or the faggy four? 
I’m all for tube. GO TUBE!
This was the toughest so far. But i gotta go Gamehenge!
tube is in my top 10…tela is not…enough said.
i do appreciate it for is gamehengeyness…but no way is it beyond tela…in any sense. i said it.
i pity you, tela voters.
jk.
tube it is though.
yep…tube.
fuck man…
i totally wanted to vote Tela…
but the lyrics to Tube are just too insane and great!
