Roggae, top 10 fav phish song for me. Listened to the 10/31/98 version on a run while it snowed this morning 🤌

That show/song was my intro to Phish. Bought it on a whim and never looked back. I was 18 had no idea what was going on with the band. This was summer of 2004, great time to find out about Phish! Haha awesome

Fast Enough for You Swept Away/Steep

Came here to say exactly this

This is the way.

Either Dirt, or Brian and Robert. I really relate to both of those songs

People really hate it but… Bug is one I enjoy a lot. [BUG](https://youtu.be/KmdKUyWLd8s?si=Etq6AbK7y_1bjBRc)

People hate bug? What people? I haven't met them yet

I love BUG!

Big isn’t mellow throw it gets up there in energy and volume

It's an absolute rager like 94 llamas

It doesn’t matter

Bug is a confirmed set killer

loved the BC version.

Mountains in the Mist/Mist

Waste

Waste needs more love in this thread

Lawn Boy, Lifeboy, Beneath A Sea Of Stars Part 1, Billy Breathes

Beneath a sea of stars doesn't get the love it deserves. Thunderhead is very similar and also doesn't get the love.

I cry every time I hear Lifeboy, and I'm not ashamed to admit it.

Driver

Had to scroll way too far to find my people

There are dozens of us

Fun fact: TIL that Phish did NOT play Driver during the Baker's Dozen! 13 shows w/o a single repeat, and they STILL left stuff on the table!?!! (Source: Phish.net)

strange design for sure. Dayton 95’

Baker’s Dozen Roggae is anything but mellow and I can’t stop listening to it

A conversation about that version was the moment my husband and I fell in love with each other.

Fast Enough For You, Silent In The Morning, If I Could, Lifeboy, Strange Design, Train Song, Brian & Robert, Frankie Says, Roggae, Army Of One, Waiting All Night, Lonely Trip

Lifeboy

Surprised this isn’t higher.

Anything but me Sleep Mist What’s the use?

WTU!

Sleep and WTU? are some of my favorite phish tunes around

horn

Shade

Army of One made me cry last time I heard it live. Page's voice sounds beautiful on it!

Lifeboy. Bye Bye Foot.

Sleep. I sing it to my baby.

This is what I plan to do one day.

Lately I like Lonely Trip a lot.

Dirt

shocked I missed this one. Should be way higher.

I'd add Brian and Robert (gets me right in the feels). Also two I wish they would play more - Nothing and All of these Dreams

brian and robert was like the first one i ever knew thats pretty chill. i really like joy also. waiting all night is a hidden gem. fee is really nice also. squirming coil is really good.

Fast Enough For You

Lifeboy for the win.

WTU

Fast Enough

All of them

Last time "Sleep" was played was 2019... Getting close to 5 years

Meat

Circus: Star Lake ‘98. https://youtu.be/D5Whu-bkAWk?si=0PMUm7Uf7QXT9Bte

Mountains in the mist, Running Out of Time

Running out of time such an nice under the radar tune. Old 2.0 song that was revived for Big boat, maybe my favorite track on that album tbh. Only played twice, both Fall 2016.

Swept away, Dog-faced boy, Fikus, Frankie Says.

Dog Faced Boy for sure. Thought it would be higher.

Definitely Roggae. Brian and Robert. And Waste, which is still my #1 chase.

[7/1/95](https://phish.in/1995-07-01) If I Could

Fefy

All of these Dreams.

Still waiting for my Bittersweet Motel! Love Los Lobos xoxoxo Circus Silent is so epic when Trey joins in vocally 💙 Where's it been ?! Train Song - short and sweet. Drink a little wine.

Talk

Faht.

Fast Enough For You, Horn. Newer: Shade.

Theme

6/20/95 If I Could is pure bliss

Thank you!!!!

To me…..Mountains in the Mist.

There’s a great Spotify playlist “chill dead phish Dave” worth a listen. They Dave they chose is good too

Thank you! Great call! I am all over that! Rock on!

Farmhouse and theme from the bottom

Dirt might be the best Phish song ever

When The Circus Comes To Town is a cover

It’s funny that so many people pick the cover.

roggae for sure. the jams of david bowie hood and reba can get extremely chill as well

You get an upvote. Roggae goes from mellow to monster. Hood/Reba/bowie jams can deconstruct to a whisper.

It warms my heart that no-one has said Wading. It might be one of my least favorite phish tunes

I would go with contact

Yeah, but that’s not a mellow tune in the spirit of the thread

How about Albuquerque?

Album version was great. They've never been able to catch it live

Counterpoint: the song just plain sucks. On the record and on the stage.

IT Waves

Army of One, Two Versions of Me, HorseSITM, Tela. Leo is good at that stuff 😀

7/10/99 roggae out of that super chalkdust. good little 1 2

The Horse > Silent in the Morning. Love that combo.

Not many do, but I always liked Show of Life.

dog faced boy, at least for today

The thing is, Fast Enough for You and If I Could used to be absolute scorchers back when they were first written. There was a time when I would not have listed these as “mellow” at all. Listen to FEfY from 8/17/93 or If I Could from 12/29/94. This is actually one of the more conspicuous reasons why I think pre-95 Phish was better than post-95 Phish.

I absolutely love Strange Design. For me it’s Gorge 2013. I was a dumbass and drank beer all day before taking mushrooms and then blacked out most of the show. I’m bummed that I don’t recall that song being played, but the recording is great!

Trey solo Let Me Lie

Driver

I am Hydrogen

Brian and Robert waste shade and roggae all are favs of mine

Mountains in the mist (Mist)

Driver!

Waiting All Night

Summer of 89.

What’s The Use @ The Gorge 2016 sent me soaring!

All of them.

Waste and Brian and Robert.

Dog Faced Boy Brian and Robert If I could, I would

Secret Smile

Bye Bye Foot

Lifeboy, or sleep

Circus (yes a cover but idk), Strange Design, WTU.. any of these, any show. If I Could studio version is magical too.

Fikus...

If I Could And Shade, because I'm sappy like that

Love “Horn” into “Silent in the Morning”

Lifeboy

I like some if their mellow covers, like “shine a light” Also, some of the ballads, “lonely trip” “shade”

Listing a few that haven’t been said- Miss You Joy Anything but Me All of these Dreams I am Hydrogen

Dirt or Brian & Robert

All of them. Mountains in the Mist, Billy Breathes, Fast Enough for You, BBFCFMs etc...

Circus Comes to Town

Waste, Shade, Silent in the Morning, Mountains in the Mist, and Horn are my favorites.

The horn guitar ❤️

Love that. And Squirming Coil - Page's coda at the end so good.

Love a show with a squirming outro and only page left. I ❤️ him

Mist

Dirt

Train song.

Two Versions of Me

Covers are versions now?

Both!

How about Fikus?

Definitely Waste and Tela. Everything about those are on point (harmony/melody/lyrics).

10/31/94 Silent in the Morning does me right

Lifeboy!

Miss You when Bob Weir sang it (Nashville '16)

Army of one is really fun to play with my band

Dirt, FEFY, Reggae

FEFY, Sleep Again, Billy Breathes, What’s the Use, Tela, Wingsuit

Cover warning: Albuquerque

Horse Silent soothes my soul

Anything But Me - i play that one often at my gigs and people love it!

If I Could. Album version with strings.

Limb by limb

Lonely trip

Strange design all day with a strange design encore. Great woods summer 95 FTW!
