TEN HOPES FOR LEG TWO
by Mockingbird Foundation Contributor Chris Glushko
A few weeks ago, I took a look back at leg one and ranked all 20 second sets from worst to first. In addition, Charlie Dirksen also took a fantastic deep dive into the first half of summer. Now that we’ve all had some time to over-analyze leg one in painstaking detail, it’s time to get our Phish nerd on for leg two. With seemingly anything and everything on the table this Summer, what could/should the band do to take it up another level?
As always, if you enjoy this piece or other content on phish.net, please consider donating to The Mockingbird Foundation, where more than 98% of the money raised is given directly to music education programs. Now on to the list -
1) “Izabella”
Last played in 1998 for the tenth and final time, many wondered if the band had forgotten that this explosive Hendrix cover was once a powerful part of Phish’s arsenal. Then on July 3 in Jones Beach, Trey played the famous lick during “Sand,” prompting fans to speculate “Izabella’s” appearance before summer’s end.
2) “Bathtub Gin” that goes deep
“Bathtub Gin” was a source of deep exploratory improvisation from the mid-90s through 2004. Since the band returned in 2009, “Gin” has become a powerful, yet predictable, rocker. Only 2.5 versions in the 3.0 era have received the type 2 treatment – the brilliant Gorge 2009 “Gin” and the Bethel 2011 “Ginteca.” The .5 goes to the rare second set appearance at Deer Creek on 6/29/2012 where the jam seemed destined for greatness before being abruptly cut off at the eight minute mark.
3) Second jam in “Mike’s Song”
It’s safe to say that “Mike’s Song” in the 3.0 era has gone about as far as it can go in it’s current retro format. At some point you have to imagine it will open up again or be shelved. Let’s hope for the former. If you’re not sure what I’m talking about, read up.
4) Halloween love to Quadrophenia and Remain in Light
We’ve seen a lot of love to Loaded so far this Summer. We’ve even saw a little love to The White Album. Yet sadly, no breakout songs from Quadrophenia or Remain in Light appeared on leg one. Maybe Remain in Light songs are too difficult to pull off as a four-piece? Maybe Phish no longer have the intestinal fortitude to unleash the fury of something like “The Real Me?” Still, I’d wager that Page can still sing a fantastic “Sea & Sand.” After fans predicted its return at nearly every oceanside venue for the last three years only to be let down, someplace like Oklahoma City seems perfect for this prized bustout.
5) “Spock’s Brain”
This neglected fan favorite has only been played eight times. Six occurrences were in 1995, its debut year. Given that it was soundchecked at Jones Beach, it can’t be too long before it appears again.
6) New original debut
On June 4, 2011, Phish debuted a new original in “Steam.” There has not been a new original since. The desire of fans to complain about new songs is strong. Give the people what they want.
7) 20-minute jam(s)
In all the fantastic music that came out of leg one, there was one thing missing – a 20-minute polarizing jam so half the fans can declare it the best of tour, and half the fans can say it’s overrated. Maybe we’ll have that pleasure in leg two.
8) Exploratory “Halley’s Comet”
“Halley’s Comet” has been played 27 times since Phish’s return in 2009. Of those 27, only two have opened up – 6/16/2009 Fox Theater and 5/28/2011 Bethel. Every time they played it in leg one, you can practically taste the improvisational glory of the past trying to bubble to the surface. Let’s hope they blow one open in leg two.
9) “Sweet Jane” do-over
If you didn’t make it to Deer Creek, you most likely felt the equivalent of a swift kick to the groin after hearing that “Sweet Jane” made its first appearance since 10/31/98. However, that pain quickly went away upon hearing the very rough and jam-free breakout. Let’s hope they do this one over in leg two, giving it the justice it deserves.
10) Grateful Dead cover
It’s hard to argue that any band influenced Phish more than The Grateful Dead. Constant comparisons early in their career obviously got inside Phish’s collective head as the band avoided any Grateful Dead covers from 1986 until the “Terrapin Station” encore on 8/9/98 – the third anniversary of Jerry Garcia’s death. Besides the shared cover of “Quinn the Eskimo,” only on two occasions since has Phish approached the Dead’s vast catalogue – “Cold Rain & Snow” and “Viola Lee Blues” with Phil Lesh at Shoreline 99, and “West L.A. Fadeaway” and “El Paso” with Bob Weir at Shoreline 2000. With Phish playing their first run in San Francisco since 1994, now would be as good a time as any to dust off a Grateful Dead original just one more time. After all, Trey plays a mean “Shakedown Street” and Page sings a fantastic “Franklin’s Tower.”
So what are your hopes and predictions for leg two? Let us know in the comments section below. To get you started, here are the wish lists of other Mockingbird Foundation volunteers.
Adam Scheinberg
1) "Lushington": it's time to restore this, even though it lives in "Fluffhead"
2) "Glide II": Yes, I know parts of it were transplanted into "Guyute." But it's beautiful and should be played again anyway.
3) New originals: we need a new injection of songs, akin to the Bearsville era.
4) Jam, just... jam. Don't be afraid to let the music find its voice. The Bethel "Waves" was gorgeous. I wonder how the MSG "Cities" might've evolved, given the chance.
5) The controversial: Shelve "DwD," "Moma," "Possum," "Number Line," "Piper," and "Divided Sky." I'm sure this will anger some people, but let some of the most common songs breathe a little, and people will welcome them with open arms when they return. Remember how "Roggae" become a fan fave when it disappeared? Let some classics sit on the shelve for a tour and let's see how fans respond.

I am not a musician, nor have I taken classes on tonal theory or anything of the like, but I do know that I like Trey's guitar tone from the mid-nineties more than I like the present day tone. The old tone was "rich" and "warm". Was Trey ever asked about why he has changed the tone? I figure that altering it for the sake of altering it is not what one would do.
1) Steam
2) Alumni Blues because I got my degree this year, yes at 36 I finally did it
3) Lifeboy or Dog Faced Boy, either one works for me
4) Waste> Taste or Taste> Waste
5) Bob Weir and Phil Lesh in SF
6) Covers from Halloween 98 and 09
2. All of you chatty Kathys and Talking Timmys stay home or shut up when the band is playing.
3. I like Dr Smarty's suggestion of an announcement of a 12/21/12 fest in Indio!
4. Spock's Brain!
2) Will it Go Round in Circles? (this was only played twice in '99, but it was a really cool cover, honestly)
3) Type-2 NICU
4) More themed sets- Like a water set...imagine this set:
The Moma Dance-> Drowned-> A Song I Heard the Ocean Sing-> Waves-> Free-> Theme From the Bottom
5) Type-2 Steam (it's time)
6) Harpua> Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress> Harpua (hear me out...A Harpua story involving time travel where they go all over Phish history and end up at their very first show)
2. EMOTIONAL RESCUE
Besides that I like the Shakedown calls in S.F. and it would have to be no less than a 20 min jam.
Remember hearing the tapes of Cup's debut (2/3/93) and being floored?...immediately to the top of most wish lists. Uhhhh, careful what you wish for?
Seriousness... I hope they have fun and play loose (see Jim, 11.29.97). You got nothing to prove boys, just be your weird-ass, genius selves.
2) A second set anchored by a Mikes-> everything 1.0-> Groove
3) A Gamehendge performance, preferably out of a mediocre tune like Sample.
4) A repeat of a random 1993 or 1994 set list of their choice, reinterpreted through today's Phish.
5) Corrina entering to regular rotation, with a jam added.
2) Restore Harry Hood to it's previous glory...so sad what's happened to this song
3) 2nd set Runaway Jim
2) Play shows like they were in 94 or 97
3) Play long, extended jams like in the mid 90's or 03-04
4) Stop playing that song we don't like as an encore
5) Play what we want you to play
6) Wwwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!
Tweeprise > Weekapaug > H20 > Simple > Mikes > Silent > Horse > Mockingbird > Forbins > Tube > First Tube > Suzy > Oh Kee > Tweezer
E: BDTNL (You know, relevance)
2) If you're not feeling it, don't play it - I think that's what is happening with YEM these days, and I'm absolutely fine with that. I would rather not hear Mike's or Reba or Hood just because the band feels like they need to play it to satisfy the fans. Perfunctory versions of traditional jam vehicles just eat up set time that could be used for exploration.
3) Slow Piper back down - The slow build used to be part of Piper's identity. I think Piper still produces some great jams, but I really miss the goosebumps that the build gave me.
4) Scents and Subtle Sounds - In 2003 I thought this and Seven Below would be the next major jam vehicles. Seven Below still pops up here and there, but S&SS is practically a non-entity. Again, if it's not something the band is really feeling, I get it...but I wish it would come back with a vengance.
5) Susskind Hotel - With the same "if they're feeling it" caveat, Susskind should be making regular appearances in the rotation.
There are all kinds of tunes I would like to hear more of, including Spock's Brain, but I don't want to just turn this into a request list.
Anyway, I had a great time this summer and am jealous of everyone gettting to hit leg two. So, one more wish...how about warming up for MSG with a couple of gigs in D.C.? Maybe Philly? Pretty please?
2.) The Great Curve
3.) Page play the Keytar on something other than Frankenstein
4.) A flawless Esther
5.) Anything off Exile other than Loving Cup, Shine a Light, Torn and Frayed.
2) punk & the godfather from quadrophenia
3) more delicious "sandwiches"( 7/6/12 tube or 12/7/97 it's ice)
4) drum solo
5) lay off dwd for a while
6) I wanna see some of the older songs (bowie,curtain with,Reba,mcgrupp) really take off
2. HYHU> Call me Maybe?> HYHU
3. Estmated Prophet w/ Lesh or Weir
4. ATR> Bowie, 2nd set opener
5. 10+min Tube FUNK
7. Chalkdust Torture Reprise
8. 25+ Gin
9. Spock's
10. Big Ball Jam
2. Mike's> Glide II> Weekapaug
3. ACDC Bag stripped down to its slower, funkier roots, a la early 90's
4. Bathtub Gin with more "three coned cap and striped stockings" and less "storming the hallway".
5. Play Steely Dan! Sign In Stranger or Kid Charlemagne would be fantastic outlets!
2. Spock's Brain - I think we're all in agreement. Saw 1 of 8 in Vegas '00
3. New bustout cover every night, or atleast at each venue - like Summer '98. Great choices with "Rhinoceros" and "Runnin' with the Devil". I always thought they would sound great playing "No More Tears" by Ozzy. Page would definitely contribute to this nicely.
4. What ever happened to the jammed out "Tube"? Hasn't been one since their return. Not asking for a 12 minute version, just atleast a 7 or 8. Too cool of a jam to cut short.
2. Rock-A-William
3. Sea and Sand
4. Any jam that features Page on the theremin
5. And a Harpua in KC, please
Any ABBA would be funny as hell!!!
2. ...
2. jammed out Gin
3. more Waves
4. new songs
5. more well structured 2nd sets
6. deeper jams in general
2. Dirty
3. Spacey
I always thought a vocal "-> " from YEM to Haley's would be fun.
Mostly I just hope they take charge and have fun themselves.
Song I heard the ocean sing at LB
A decent, even 2.0 style Theme
YEM at BG
No Dead, unless it's Terrapin, or better, Black-Throated Wind.
Don't care about Izabella
Shelve DWD, no Quinn, continue Velvet Underground.
Relax and get spacey, make me feel like I wished I'd made it to the shows I didn't.
Getting psyched for some indoor summer Phish!!
2. Super duper funked out Tube that goes over 10:00
3. Black Eyed Katy
4. Born under punches
5. Did I mention Black Eyed Katy?
About the same as my hope for Avalanche Peach. ; )
On the couch tour back on the civilized coast (:, I would love to see or read a setlist that includes...
1. Gamehenge in its entirety
2. A subtle, but easy to figure out theme to an entire show
3. Open a set with Hood and jam through, in and out of other tunes, but end the set feeling good about hood
4. Serious start/stop funk breakdown in 2001 or Tube - yeah, I also agree with someone else regarding Moma Dance - it could easily turn into a 15 minute 70's porn excursion.
5. It's true - its beyond time for a one-time Dead cover blowout and SF is just the place. Shakedown, Eyes, or a Scarlet/Fire. Just once then lay off the Dead moving forward.
Sincerely,
Dosque
[large gap]
2. Less one-time songs, by that I mean "If you're going to bust out a song once a tour, please rehearse it enough so that it doesn't sound like crap"
3. Less covers, more originals
4. Find new jam vehicles
5. Stop Fish from killing jams
2. Surprise me again
3. Shift the dominate vibe on lot from Hettiness to Kindness
4. Surprising me again
2. No Dead covers or guest spots, but wouldn't mind a show full of Dead teases & faux guest announcements at BGC.
3. An epic Rock & Roll (West Coast tradition in August since 2009).
4. Coil -> Velvet Sea, and/or Coil -> Walls Of the Cave.
5. Jennifer Dances!
6. At least one new original...even if it comes from Trey's solo album.
7. An extended, melodically jammed Have Mercy.
8. A YEM to remember.
9. 1st California Harpua.
10. A raging DWD reprise.
2 Phish
3 Temptations
4 #Sand
6 More TAB Tunes
7 #Sand
2. Less DWD
3. A 10 song show every once in a while, maybe once a year
4. Split Open n Melt> Spocks Brain> I didn't Know> My minds Got a Mind Of Its Own> Demand
5. 'Bust out' encores
No complaints here really. Phish sounds amazing this year! Some of their best playing in years as far as I'm concerned!
2) Ditch DWD, Possum, Moma Dance, Piper, Light, Golgi, Wolfman's
3) Replace respectively (as per show role) with Drowned, My Soul, Meat, Scents and Subtle Sounds, Seven Below, Sparkle, Voodoo Lady (Ween)
3) More Twenty Years Later as jam landing spot or in middle of jam. Bring back Sugar Shack and stretch it out.
4) 2001, Taste in first sets, Stealing Time, Axxilla (jam it) in second sets
5) 30 min. Access Me.
Also jammed out Torn and Frayed in second sets; Ventilator> just Wanna see his face
1. AC DC cover (Highway/Shook me)
2. throw in a Sublime reggae feel for LBC
3. LLAMA ta boot ta boot.
It might be interesteing to tell the crowd ahead of time that they have to figure out what year it is up to, based on what they don't hear! Instead of what they do hear!
Love this song and would love to catch my 2nd at ATL or Charlotte
2: Twenty Years Later and Tim Turns Elastic:
These songs are quality phish songs that should not be on the shelf. I realize most ppl hate TTE, but I see this song as better than ppl give it credit for. Bring Em Back!
3. Set II of 5 songs or less
Something like: Down with Disease> Simple> Ghost> Lifeboy, Harry Hood. This kind of thing would obviously require jams.
4. More Banter
5. REBA
6. Page-led jams
7. 20 min jams
8. Dead covr in San Fran.
9. New material
10. Triumphant return to Lakewood!
2. "Esther"
3. "Eminence Front"
4. Top Notch Special Guests (i.e., Phil Lesh, Santana, Sam Bush)
5. "Army of One"
6. Epic "Tweezer" with the tempo-retard ending.
2. Savoy Truffle
3. MOMA outro jam (good call deadphish 28)
4. The Real Me
5. Mr. Completley
2) slow-build Piper, with extended ending (ex Island Tour)
3) Tweeprise opener w/ a later monster Tweezahhh
IT'S GONNA BE COLD COLD COLD IN CALI
4) 5:15 w/ GCH guest appearance
5) a little more Zep please, maybe a full Heartbreaker
***
the new version of Mound! (ex SuperBall IX)
sure everyone loves a little Page organ action, but seriously Trey absolutely took over at the end of that Mound, like he was possessed. he was on a mission to prove once more that he's the boss and that PHISH rules the world.
sugar shack
shafty
so i will have heard every S song phish plays
@Poizon45 said:
I would love to see Phish throw out a China Cat Sunflower> I Know You Rider or a
Scarlet Begonia> Fire on the Mountain and just to blow everyone away a Morning Dew.
Also,if and when PHISH ever return to Miami Florida,how about Jimmy Buffett
Son of a Sailor,One Particular Harbor,and everybodys favorite party song to cap off a
new years run-Margaritaville.Yes, a little cheesey but what better way to end a run in the
glitz and glamor of South Beach.Us South Florida Phish phans would absolutely Freak
1. Ain't Love Funny
2. I Don't Care. The two songs I like most that have basically no chance of being busted out.
3. Keep the gap between YEMs over 10 shows. Do the same to Fluff and Divided Sky.
4. Make the last note of Maze the first note of Mike's
4b Mike's-> 40 minute Bouncing - the most jam friendly song to never be jammed out, with apologies to Camel Walk
5. Show with Gullioti or other 2nd drummer/ percussion player that plays this show
I: Mikes-> Timber-> Limb-> Round Room-> Ya Mar-> Paug
II: Simple-> Taste-> Vultures-> Undermind-> Taste
6. Roggae, Heavy Things, Undermind, Round Room, KDF, Vultures, Access Me, Suskind, Babylon Baby, Halfway To The Moon with somewhat significant improv, preferably following a 3 min Ghost or 5 min Tweezer to see who is in it for the right reasons and see who is a nostalgia junkie.
7. You know how you toyed with us with a few unfinished Hoods? Great idea! Expand that to antelope, Bowie, slave while you're at it!
2. Jammed out Ya Mar
3. 6/22/94-esque Mike's Groove (full of other songs)
4. Jammed out Mike's Song
5. Type II Chalk Dust
6. Jammed out Cavern
7. Off the wall cover like Killing In The Name
8. Full rotation jam.
9. Destroy Farmhouse with a mindblowing jam as a "fuck you" to those who don't like it.
10. Full Gamehendge show.
2.Born Under Punches or The Great Curve
3.Jammed out Mike's and Halley's
4.Gamehendge
5.Master of Puppets
2. Dead Album Covered- How long do we have to beg??? Do I need to start a petition in the lot?
3.Ocelot-20+ min jam
4. NICU> Manteca
5. Random Cover:Willie The Pimp (Zappa)
2. Keep Fishman in steroid shape. He actually played great music throughout leg 1, matching his strength to his vision.
3. Keep Mike Gordon profoundly in the groove. Sometimes he tries to play too smart, and takes away from that which makes the music dance the most.
4. Page, stay the virtuoso that you've become. Your technique has reached a whole new level! Keep going! Don't stop seeking.
5. Plasma. One of the very best TAB songs I can't get enough of. Be sick for Phish to do it.
6. The band is waiting for someone to hold up a sign that says: "Dave's Energy Guide." I want to hear it!
7. Play "Dave's Energy Guide" in all its twisted glory!
8. Do 300 songs next tour!
