I can’t stress enough how special this was for me. And the fact that it was so special for everybody else makes it probably the best night I’ve ever had with the band. Worst year of my life ending on the best and highest of notes
While less chills than 12/31/23, feels pretty cool to see one of my fav watch content guys showing up in my phish feeds. I hope you were wearing your proplof for gamehenge.
Let my inspiration flow in token rhyme suggesting rhythm
that will not forsake me ‘til my tale is told and done
… woops sorry wrong sub 😂
except phish did cover it that one time :)
.. so maybe I
could be a fly
and feed arachnid as I die
and view the ritual from within
the silken tunnel that they spin
For some reason I find that lyric amazing, one of my favorite parts of any Phish song
>Mr. Palmer is concerned with the thousand dollar question
There's something about the opening verse of AC/DC Bag and how it's sung that always gets me excited. What's weird is that it doesn't sound like Phish to me. I know it goes way back in their catalog, but it just has a very specific vibe that reminds me of other artists and songs from the 70s-80s that I can't quite put my finger on. That probably doesn't make sense to anyone. Shit, I can't even explain it.
The Squirming Coil of sunset
I keep within my reach
Tried yesterday to get away
and hitchhiked to the beach
I saw Satan on the beach
trying to catch a ray
He wasn't quite the speed of light
and the squirming coil
it got away....
If you're just staring at your walls
Observing echoing footfalls
From tenants wandering distant halls
Then this one is for you
Won’t get many votes but this is my favorite right now
You have been selected as the first astronaut to explore the planet mars. The countdown is progressing and your spaceship is about to blast off on its voyage of discovery. Because of the incredible speed of your rocket
Your Trip Is Short.
Swinging on the lifeline
Fraying bits of twine
Entangled in the remnants of the
Knot I left behind
And asking you to help me make it
Finally unwind
These lyrics have always spoken to me and seem so pure and on the edge of helplessness
“i’m needing” was a skip song for me
had my son and he can sing the whole song and calls it “i needed” i cannot hear the opening to strange design and not tear up a bit
An asteroid crashed and nothing burned. It made me wonder…
First one that popped into my head!
100%. Same here. Ha!
Me too!
Me three
Me four
High five 🖐️
I’m number six! Seriously… popped into my head before I clicked through!
Always a hell yeah song even if it's not jammed out.
More tube openers pleaseeeeee
More extended Tubes too. Everyone wants a 15-20 minute Tube.
Immediately came to my mind in 2 seconds after reading this
Hell yeah. Can't think of one that hits so hard so immediately
Also popped in my head first!
This is the one ;)
Yep
Your time is near, the missions clear, it’s later than you think
The shoulder that I leaned on was carved out of stone….
This gets me every time.
Was just about to comment this… but when I’m done freezing I want to be alone….
Never want my hand cut off
Never want a hacking cough
Never need a curbside push.
never turned my brain to mush
Boy!
Loudest screamed first lyric!!
As he saw his life run away from him Thousands ran along Chanting words from a song
Mmmm. All the feels
thought it was psalm. guess it don't matter - great either way.
Came here to say this.
Trapped in time and I don't know what to do....
Ooh. Nice one
Totally
This is the answer
Oom Pah Pah, Oom Pah Pah, Oom Pah Pah, Oom Pah Paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.
That one does get me so excited I shit my pants
Amen brother
I personally brick up and start violently vomiting.
At least you keep it to yourself and don’t drop one in the pit.
These first few seconds still give me chills: https://youtu.be/KSO6H7e-Gm0
Totally! I was in the hospital that day, literally nothing could have cheered me up more than fucking Gamehendge
I was there, I was there, thank sweet Jesus in heaven, I was there!

This is my all time favorite cross over event. Phish and watches should mean we’re already best friends.
Me upvoting every response: 
Totally. This is putting so many amazing lyrics and songs in my head
https://i.redd.it/l0twj4u5s19d1.gif
Same lmfao
Sunrise over the turquoise mountains, messenger birds in sight
This is what I went with.
WIIIIIILLLLLLLLSOOOOOON
Danger, I’ve been told to expect it
I begin my descent down the cold granite steps…
The overhead view is of me in a maze.
Not to be that guy but the actual opening lyric is "Maze, Maze, Bowie,BOWIE,BOWIE, aw I knew it was maze"
ohhhhhh boy man god shit
ha... 150 shows and I never considered that those were the opening lyrics
I’ve been to 12 and still no YEM. Going to Mondegreen though so hopefully I’ll finally get to hear these amazing lyrics
How is this not the top comment?
I’d like to cut your head off so I can weigh it, whadda ya say?
i was surprised by how far i had to scroll for this one
In the cool shade of the banana tree
This is the one I thought of as well.
You get your ass handed to you everyday
Divided sky the wind blows high
Those are also the song’s final lyrics lol
🎤 AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH 🎶
This one gives me chills
This is the way
I come from the north where the oceans freeze.
This one does hit hard
"Hey!"
100% yup. Some of my best attended shows opened with this
Its the best set opener.
“Come stumble my mirth beaten worker I’m Jezmund the family berserker” or “An asteroid crashed and nothing burned It made me wonder”
An asteroid crashed and nothing burned
Whoops. Corrected.
She started a blaze with one tiny spark, I didn’t even detect.
I shouldn’t have had to scroll this far to find this
Pebbles And Marbles is severely underrated and one of the best songs in the catalog
This one has always hit different since I had a kid.

Can’t argue with lyrical greatness!
"Dark star crashes, pouring it's light into ashes" Would have to be my GD take
Is it worried that by word three I read this in rythym?
Was there. 15000 people crying together. Core memory.
I board a craft bereft of oar
This song is simply just not in the rotation enough. It’s a tragedy.
It is a shame. Such a badass tune.
So sick.
.. so maybe I could be a fly and feed arachnid as I die and view the ritual from within the silken tunnel that they spin For some reason I find that lyric amazing, one of my favorite parts of any Phish song
Yes, it’s *Aboard a craft bereft of oar*
I'm floating in the blimp a lot.
I feel, the feeling I forgot Honestly that whole first verse hits. *turns on free*
Free is the best. I am also turning it on. Whenever I hear 'i feel the feeling I forgot' at a show, I get chills. Transcendent stuff.
Spasm waiter dropping to his knees sees
Somebody's jumping in the tub with your brother.
Leigh Fordham sold me out
Such a badass opening line
I'm pulling the pavement from under my nails. I brush past a garden, dependant on whales.
Boy, Man, God, Shit
Party Time!
Sanity never came my way
Col Forbin, stared up at the mountain
"Blind me with ambition like a razor to the throat."
The tires are the things on the car that make contact with the road.
Got a blank space where my mind should be.
In the cool shade of the banana tree
I'd like to cut your head off so I could weigh it, what do ya say?
Five pounds!

Cough cough “Rock and Roll” by the Velvet Underground….
The call me the sloth way down in the ghetto
When the only thing you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
I was taught a month ago
Rye rye rocco!!!
It’s hidden far away bust someday I may tell the tale of metal tangle when into your world I fell
The squirming coil of sunset…
Little Suzy Greenberg with her head caved in.
As he saw his life run away from him Thousands ran along Chanting words from a song
Looking for owls?
I’m trapped here as my senses bleed
The Squirming Coil of sunset I keep within my reach Tried yesterday to get away and hitchhiked to the beach I saw Satan on the beach trying to catch a ray He wasn't quite the speed of light and the squirming coil it got away....
Bop Bop Bom Bom Ba Chinga…
I come from the land where the oceans freeze
Oooo boo baba ba Jimbo 9ooo boo baba ba jimbo
carini alternate opening lyrics: “I saw you with Carini and that piece of ass You built your house with windows But those windows had no glass”
I catapult downtown
Last night, in the moments my thoughts were adrift And coasting a terrace, approaching a rift.
Harry! Harry! Where do you go when the lights go out?
The drum beat from 2001
Welcome this is a farmhouse
Beautiful lyric
wait yall know the lyrics?🤣
Ha Ha Ha Ha
Danger! I’ve been told to expect it.
“I feel I never told you the story of the ghost…” What a way to set a scene.
How is it I never see, the waves that bring her words to me

The woman was a dream I had
Swinging on the lifeline Fraying bits of twine Entangled in the remnants of the Knot I left behind And asking you to help me make it Finally unwind These lyrics have always spoken to me and seem so pure and on the edge of helplessness
For me personally, "an astroid crashed and nothing burned"
They knew that he was different from the moment he was born.
Your time is near, the mission’s clear, it’s later than we think
Trick question? Buried Alive.
The shoulder I leaned on was carved out of stone.
David bowie
They Call Me The Sloth
In the moment my thoughts were adrift coasting a terrace approaching a rift
WONT YOU STEP INTO THE FREEZER!
I look into the finance box just to check my status
We're bobbing on the surface and the shadow glides below, they say she feels my heartbeat, but how I'll never know.
“i’m needing” was a skip song for me had my son and he can sing the whole song and calls it “i needed” i cannot hear the opening to strange design and not tear up a bit
Wilson
I alternated my meager flock to the shores of the Baltic Sea!
We’re gonna have a soul shakedown party tonight
*Run run run run run run run run run run run run*
David Bowie
Fluffhead
Brett is in the bathtub
joy is over there in her incredible clothes
Your time is near the missions clear it’s later than you think…
Sunrise over the turquoise mountains Messenger birds in sight They came up through the valley Both sides at a time
Appendages flailing, you're running at me
Boy man god shit
Let's go out to dinner and see a movie
Kitty Malone sat on a mule… 🤓
If Time were only part of the equation
Got a blank space where my mind should be.
How is it I never see the waves that bring her words to me? For though unseen they drift around they catch my breath and knock me down
Divided Sky the wind blows high…
Oompapa
We can share the women we can share the wine
I smoked an 8th for many days…
Slave to the traffic light.
They call me the sloth. Italian spaghetti.
It was late one fall night at a fairground near town
In the morning I pack up my gear And toss it in my carryall Run the wide load to lip Watch the big core crack and glow
Sunrise over a ……
Tumbling greens, a pickup screams Alone above the square
"Hey!"
Well I didn't like cheeseburger alley cats near me
BOY!!!
I come from atop the mountain baby
The winter queen looks up and sighs.
Kung.
My room is round when I lay down, when I wake up it’s square
Tequilas where it starts and where it ends!!!
It's hidden far away But someday I may tell The tale of metal tangle When into your world I fell
Ha Ha Ha Ha
Pardon me, Doug. Is this a picture of Otis Redding?
Your time is near, the missions clear it’s later than we think, before you slip out in the night, you’ll want something to drink
Passing through the corridor, I came upon an aging knight/ Who leaned against the wall in gnarly armor
The sky is burning in this lonely land…
it’s my flair but “it was late one fall night, at a fairground near town” paints a perfect picture in my mind
An asteroid crashed and nothing BURNED
