I\'m more concerned about all the great covers that they no longer play.
Great point Al. There are definitely far more great covers that went by the wayside than covers currently in rotation that need to be dropped.
Covers that would be great if they were brought back:
Miles Beyond (Mahavishnu Orchestra)
King Kong (Zappa)
Legend Of A Mind (I don\'t know)
Sex Machine (James Brown)
Mommy What\'s A Funkadelic (Funkadelic)
Help On The Way > Slipknot (Grateful Dead)
One Big Mob (Red Hot Chili Peppers)
Eat That Phonebook Coda (Gong) or whatever the heck the real name of this song is.
I would guess that One Big Mob assumes Dave Peck is on vocals.
What can I say, I\'m nostalgic for the era when the band was playing new covers every week (even if that was a response to having fewer songs than what comprises the current catalogue).
Look back at setlists from 1998-2001 and observe the abundance of covers that PB experimented with.

no, they\'ve done OBM a lot..
have to agree with message in a bottle out with that one!
with all the scarlet talk I know they have been playing it for ever but I have to say I love to hear it, the part i love is when it gets to the jam and they speed the tempo up like twice the speed. i just would not want to hear the song all the time.
Yes to al\'s idea - bring back the Eat That Phonebook Coda!!

Hey, that was my idea!

Can you believe they debuted that song AND Stash in the SAME night? 11/17/00 Butterfield; Al\'s favorite show.
b-fast should cover: Kenny Rogers ?the gambler"
that would be sweet.
could be expect any covers for tonite at beardslee?
i think they rock the **** out of 2001, i\'d never want to see that tune shelved.
Agree. Especially appropriate for certain occasions. The last one played at Porters was out of this world!
I\'d like to hear a 2001 sandwich or sandwiched in some certain tunes but to talk about it openly on this board would just be too dirty of talk for me.
Thanks to the King for making it easy:

I think this is every Phish tune I would like to hear them play. Especially a DWD. Weigh would be classic. The Wedge would bring a tear to my eye.

:doh: Apologies - too many quotes of quotes in this thread.
As for that Butterfield show, could someone hook me up with it along with other crucial formative shows? I have the UMass February gig - strangely enough from al - but there are too few of these critical shows up on the archive. Like many others not there at the beginning, it would be cool to hear these shows.
If someone can help, send me a pm - I have a pretty big list of stuff you could choose from in return.

Am I the only one who has that show on tape (via Mike Bonanno)? Actually, I think I made copies for Jocelyn back when I first met her.

I\'d ship a copy of the Butterfield 11-17-00 tapes to Caerleon, though they sit idle in my parents home 3,000 miles away. I need to remind myself to track down the guy (Mike Bonanno) who taped them to mini-disk. I hype this show up because there is something special I feel when it is played (in its entirety) that can\'t be replicated in other recordings. Besides, I\'m one of the very few who has the show so no one else has any clue what went down (unless you were there and remember a show from 5 years ago).
Ahh magic.

Not me, my 2 favorite memories were 1/6/01 @ short beach set 2:
II: Maggot Brain > Love Lake, Buquebus > Mystery Roach > One Big Mob Jam > Split Open and Melt Jam > Puppetry > Echidna\'s Arf** > Puppetry, Uncle Freddy > Attraction to Shade Ditty
and
2/8/01 @ tammany where tim came running up to dave between sets to go over what ther lyrics were because he couldn\'t remember them all (ok, that kind of includes dave)

I remeber it, I remeber pretty much all the shows I\'ve been to. I rember I was taping it and someone turned off my equipment and i noticed it during some new cover, and then they had to stop down and start over again the song and I still missed the begining, which was phone book. I don\'t know whatever happened to that tape. It was a line out of whomever was recording to my tape deck.
Ahh magic.
damn straight brother.
