I'm looking for people's opinion on the best soundchecks as far as them just goofing off and interacting
Score: 0
The festival soundchecks are great and easily to find. Here's the SBIX check.
Score: 2
Superball is definitely one of my favorites but I still think the clifford ball soundcheck is number 1. The clifford ball in general is number 1

@stedman24 Shows that include soundchecks are noted on the spreadsheet.

im lovin the glens falls soundcheck from 10.31.94. they start off and it sounds almost like a 'the band' song, then they just go off. somewhat blues-y but still very phish-y. seems like sound checks are a great place for the band to let loose a little without the pressure of the crowd. like someone said in another thread, i cant imaging what their studio jams sound like.

The Coventry Soundcheck is one of the best things about Coventry, IMO.

Phish - 9.14.11 Essex Junction Soundcheck
Jam (13:00)
Midnight Confessions
Ginseng Sullivan
Silent Night (on Theremin)
“Too Much Fried Dough at the Fair” ->
Peaches en Regalia
Cannonball tease
Jam (6:00)
Some gems from the soundcheck:
•Trey discussing tripping balls on Christmas morning
•Trey mentions that the vacuum and theremin sound the exact same, and they should do a duet. Page says, “good idea.”
•Jam #1. Where the hell is this at shows? As Gordo said when it finished, “Please email that to me.” Seriously. So disgusting. Let it rip like this, gentlemen!
Score: 6
ah yes, the essex soundcheck was some funthe IT soundcheck (jam> skin it back, jam) is very solid as well & along with some of the deeper type II stuff (46 days, ghost, the jam between waves & bowie) compliments the tower jam nicely
that compilation is pretty sick & covers a good deal of ground. there's still more out there so keep on digging
party at the lamppost? jugglers with fire...
wish they'd play this outside of TAB. also wish a bunch of MGB songs made their way to the phish stage

For goofing off, go with the one from Dick's last year (Close to Jews) or the one from New Mexico with the Dickie Scotland Song, both effing hilarious. For jamz, Bethel Waves, /thread.

That's what studio jams sound like my friend. I wish they would release more, I would pay the price of a show download for some hidden studio gems
Score: 1
Also, I really think under "Jamming Charts" there should be a "Soundcheck Jamming Chart." It would take a lot of work, but it would definitely be worth it in my opinion.

Scents and Subtle Sounds soundcheck from 7/15/03 is one of the best I've heard. has an almost spooky intro and an amazing jam clocking in at around 25 minutes. you can download from the SaSS jamming chart

The Bethel waves is insane but the Island tour Providence sound check is the best I've ever heard. BOAF, Providence jam and Shafty are 35 minutes of bliss.

On the lines of pure music, not goofing off:
8/1/03 IT soundcheck is great. Also, not really a soundcheck but the 8/15/98 Lemonwheel "Ambient Jam" is incredible. 52 minutes of beauty.

The Clifford Ball soundcheck had some really cool moments ... and you can actually watch it, its' on the bonus dvd (#7) of the Clifford Ball dvd release.The Big Cypress soundcheck was killer. I wrote a review awhile back (see the review section for 12.29.99).
The IT soundcheck was incredible as well ... still remember rolling thru Limestone getting our minds blown on the car radio to it!

i just threw this together last weekend to have a CD for the car, but upon repeated listening, it accidentally turned out to be one of the best Phish compilations i've ever made.it's a CD-length collection of my favorite NON-FESTIVAL soundchecks, recorded between 1993 and 2000. the tracklist:
1) Glen Falls Jam (10/31/94, with Star Wars 'Luke & Leia Theme' tease from Trey)
2) Arcata Jam >
3) Dog Log > Jam (3/28/93, with full-band 'Beverly Hills Cop' theme tease)
4) Miss You >
5) Take Me To The River (4/9/93, with Can't You Hear Me Knocking ending)
6) Vancouver Jam >
7) Leprechaun >
8) The Wedge (8/24/93, original Wedge arrangement... the jam sounds like a proto-Meat)
9) The Buffalo Soundcheck Song! (9/14/00)

I love the dog log soundcheck from 1995.10.21the checks bring out everything i love about phish. no pressure, goofing around, extended grooves. It's like a taste of what they must do when it's just them.

Lemonwheel is my favorite by far=)Starship Trooper Jam from fest 8 is something that I have really been loving recently as well.
