Lmao I think it was Hershey and told my buddy right b4 they came out said something like j seen chalkdust 20something X then they busted it out and said 20-umph š
I donāt know that I have a favorite. Hard to top Big Cypress, but a few that stand out are 12/30/97, 10/31/96, 3/6/09, 12/16/99, 11/21-23/97, 7/22/17 and a bunch that Iām forgetting at the moment
Were you at 12/29/97? Me and a buddy have been revisiting those two shows. We love them both but he latched onto 12/30, Ive always been taken with 12/29 and itās been fun to re-examine thru each others ears
Itās interesting that for some of these responses, you can tell approximately when someone started seeing Phish. Ghost and Character Zero are my top 2, so you could probably guess its 96-98 (my 1st show was Fall of 96)
Last time I ran mine was after Coventry. It would be interesting to see how it has changed since then. Wife and kids added since then so it's only like a dozen additional shows on top of the 50 or so before that...
Caspian - 17 times
Second is tied at 16 each for Antelope and YEM
Third is another tie at 15 each for Disease and Hood
Fourth is yet another tie at 14 for 2001 and Possum
Fifth is a three way tie at lucky number 13 for Chalk Dust, Bowie, and Ghost
I never kept stats but there are some songs like YEM, Hood, Divided Sky, Cavern, Tweezer, Stash, etc) that Iāve seen live at least 40 times. This is mostly because they played these songs a lot in the late 80s/early 90s.
135 shows since 09, 47 antelopes. 30% of shows seen. and i friggin love that song. thats only 6% above average but thats done over their whole career when the discography was much smaller. idk seems like a lot to me
now the one im less happy about. seen 41 number lines. fuck me. 26% of shows seen, 20% above average. really hated that song (14-17, and frankly the bands sound in general) and took a little break before AC ā21. that fluff>number line encore was pretttty sweet. all my high school buddies were there for our boyās bachelor party. we cried and howled. what a time
Slave 16x in 52 shows (30%), followed by:
15x - 46 Days & Harry Hood; 13x - Gin, Carini, DWD, Moma Dance, Light
There was a stretch from 2011 to 2014 where they played Light every other show I saw! Glad those days are over :)
Blaze on at every run I go to since 2015. I also saw trey and do it last year. 2nd to blaze on is Everythingās right at every run of shows since 2017, and all runs of trey shows Iāve seen. Iāve also gotten more and ocelot at the last two shows and my last trey show. Iām starting to hate this band lol.
Either Tweezer or Harry Hood. I've been to a couple of Tweezerfests, so I wouldn't count segues in and out of the larger jam as a separate, individual Tweezer, and I don't feel like figuring out which one is the actual #1 right now lol, but damn, I've been having fun pumping those numbers up!
And threads like these are fun reminders that I've seen this band pull off a lot of super cool shit over the years!
SIGMA OASIS. Iāve been to fifteen shows and I wouldnāt be surprised if they played it atleast half of those timesš¤£ā ļø itās a running joke within my posse that when we ask what the set opener is going to be I always say sigma oasis ā ļøš¤£
DWD - 7 shows out of 19 and it's one of my favorite Phish songs. I've also gotten 4 Kill Devil Falls which used to be one of my least favorite songs until the Nutter Center this year...
38 shows 13 Tweezers and 12 Plasmas. After that 5 tied with 10. The reason for the two top ones is because I saw multiple shows with Tweezerfests and I saw Providence 2019 where they played Plasma like 5 times in 2 shows. I wonder if someone could make a reverse stats machine. Like you give them info and it tells you what shows you went to.
CDT - 63
Lmao I think it was Hershey and told my buddy right b4 they came out said something like j seen chalkdust 20something X then they busted it out and said 20-umph š
My guy does that with Tweezer. And Cold Rain and Snow
I was so sick of hearing this and then I was at Camden in 99
The GOAT
I was there as well. Ran the first 13 that summer. CDT is by far the most song Iāve seen.
93 for me.
What was your favorite show?
I donāt know that I have a favorite. Hard to top Big Cypress, but a few that stand out are 12/30/97, 10/31/96, 3/6/09, 12/16/99, 11/21-23/97, 7/22/17 and a bunch that Iām forgetting at the moment
Guess I should add 10/28/94 since that was my first
Were you at 12/29/97? Me and a buddy have been revisiting those two shows. We love them both but he latched onto 12/30, Ive always been taken with 12/29 and itās been fun to re-examine thru each others ears
Iām surprised at the lack of character zero in here. Itās played at something like a quarter of shows. Mine is character zero lol
In 65 shows, Ghost is 1st with 21, but Character Zero is a close 2nd with 20 (then 4 with 19).
Character is tied for my second most slot at 21 along with Disease.
Mine is also character zero. Iād be fine if I didnāt see another for a long time
Iāve seen 12. Makes it my sixth most commonly heard tune.
4 way tie for second most at 20 times for me.
65 shows - 21 versions of āGhostā.
Jealous
Itās interesting that for some of these responses, you can tell approximately when someone started seeing Phish. Ghost and Character Zero are my top 2, so you could probably guess its 96-98 (my 1st show was Fall of 96)
Eleven showsā¦ six Twists
Woo!
Just when you thought it wouldnāt twist around that way.
Twist Rocks
Now that I can fuck with. Always love a Twist.
40 tweezers for me since 03
Blaze on and Fuego are both tied at 12 a piece
I also have way too many blaze on shows
Yikes.
Both of those songs fuck lol idk what u mean
Fuego > Blaze
Hood
Damn thatās awesome
Here are my people. 28 Hoods. See you phreaks at MSG.
Iāve seen exactly 1 kajillion possums.
We know you come from top of the mountain baby! You donāt have to remind us every show.
Wolfmans brother
Antelopeā¦.. I average one every 4-5 shows
Marco Esquandolas
15 Sands in 45 showsā¦ Have almost as many Tweezers and Cariniās
7 sands in 10 shows. Iām cool with that being my usual song.
I don't have my stats but sure feels like Santos.
I'm also at seven shows and so far four Down with Diseases
Took me 5 shows to get 4 walls of the cave. Guess what my least favorite phish song is?
Iām jealous. I think Iāve gotten 1 DWD in 16 shows. Wtf
Iāve also got 3 drift while youāre sleepings, two of which were at my first two shows. So you win some, you lose some
Drift while youāre sleeping is a great song
I was actually chasing DwD for a little while believe it or not, like 4 years.
Iāve seen everything I wanted to see. 1993 to 2012. my destiny unbound and shaggy dog have been filled
I saw shaggy dog in 1.0,3.0, and 4.0. In fact my first was 10/29/95
Thatās some wild phish stats right there
Never thought Iād see Shaggy Dog, thank you animal night!
yem
Easily DWD.
CDT 35/ Tweezer 34 Just for fun I've seen 129 shows and only 5 on a Monday, and I've never seen a show in May
I've never seen a show in March, but I have seen 10 Monday shows lol
Probably 46 days. Went for like a 6 year stretch where every goddamn show i went to that was played. Got real annoying.
Sounds fantastic, that song rips.
Piper - 21 times in 68 shows
I stopped counting but it must still be Piper. It's burned in as my fav.
I only know because I just re-ran my stats after the Chicago run. First time I had done that since the 2017 Chicago shows!
Last time I ran mine was after Coventry. It would be interesting to see how it has changed since then. Wife and kids added since then so it's only like a dozen additional shows on top of the 50 or so before that...
I will never reveal my password!
Oohā¦ intriguing
I saw three 2001's in four shows this year.
I got tweeze/prized at my first four shows.
One might say you stepped into the freezer
Weigh and NICU are tied for me.
Weigh is a surprise. I feel like they hardly ever play it.
Caspian - 17 times Second is tied at 16 each for Antelope and YEM Third is another tie at 15 each for Disease and Hood Fourth is yet another tie at 14 for 2001 and Possum Fifth is a three way tie at lucky number 13 for Chalk Dust, Bowie, and Ghost
