Your 10 favorite Phish songs..........

JonBaker 11/11/10 8:22 pm

Everybody has their favorite Phish songs. Whats yours. Mine are #1 Run like an Antelope #2 DWD #3 Mike's Song #4 Weekapaug Groove #5 David Bowie #6 Loving Cup #7 Timber Ho # 8 Split Open and Melt #9 N I C U #10 Cavern....... Now these are songs which I love to hear when I see them live. Now there are certain songs where some versions are better than others. For example, the best Julius I've heard was played on 11-30-95, and the best version of Bathtub Gin was also played that same night. I was just asking in general what your 10 favorite Phish songs are:

Not really. There are so many Phish songs out there and I knew I'd get a lot of different answers. You sound to me like your kinda young to like some of Phish's newer songs. I didn't say that was bad or that I didn't like them cause I do. I just like a lot of their older songs.......

I'm sorry that I didn't say at first that it didn't matter if it was a true Phish song (that someone in the band wrote) or a song that the group has performed before. I should have emphasized that..........

I know that Loving Cup and Timber Ho are not songs originality done (written) by Phish. But I do think their versions are performed better than the original artist......

I know what you mean. I love so many songs too but these songs I picked are the ones I enjoy the most when I see Phish live. I've never been disappointed with any of those songs at all. (not that I'm disappointed with any other song they've performed either; except Split open and Melt the last time I saw them do it. They didn't go into that long jam that they usually do when they play it)..........
