The Online Phish Tour crew all picked out our top 50 and posted the results last week. Interesting how many differences there were -- e.g. Vegas Piper and Gorge Rock and Roll didn't get a single vote on OPT (neither did 11/30/94 II, but only because we tried to exclude set-long suites).

Likewise, the 5 jams that were unanimous top 50 picks by the OPTers (5/22/00 Ghost, 9/14/99 Bag, 8/13/93 Gin, 5/7/94 Tweezer, 2/28/03 Tweezer) got a grand total of 4 top 10 votes from phish.net.

All of which just goes to show that Phish's history offers such an incredible bounty of glorious jams that there is bound to be an equally diverse list of favorites among members of the fanbase. Lists like these only help bring more great music to more fans' ears, so I applaud the phish.net staff for putting it out there. Even if their picks weren't as good as ours :-P

Awesome, I love these kind of lists! Like I said in the post, this wasn't really an organized effort - we all tried to do it as spontaneously as possible. If we had gone to 50 I'd have no doubt that the jams you mentioned would have made it - but we also wouldn't have been able to do it in two minutes.

But to ignore the Vegas Piper is criminal. ;-)
