Feeling pretty mellow today, hoping to relax a bit. I was just wondering what you all think the prettiest jam you've heard is?
Score: 2
Recently - Farmhouse from Dicks night 1 this year.
Score: 3
Bethel waves soundcheck (5/26/11) goes through some tension but when they resolve it and mellow it out it's incredible. The last theme of the jam is one of the most gorgeous phish improvisations ever. And 4/2/73 Eyes of the World. It's already a really pretty song, and the jam is great. The whole band is incredibly tight. Also just about any Divided Sky is pretty.

Lots of good recommendations here. I listened to "Nothing" from 6/7/12 today, not type II, but very well played. Another example of DCU bliss is the 12/27/10 Roggae.

@lefty said: From the Dead:I can attest to this, listening to the Ship of Fools right now and its f***ing gorgeous. My Phish suggestion is Alpine '10 Reba skip to like five minutes in and you've got a nice mellow going on.

Gotta say Dead, 11/24/79 and the Peggy-O that ensued. Not real jammy...real, real pretty. It was one of the thirty days of Dead tracks last year on the other .net.http://archive.org/details/gd79-11-24.sbd.clugston.10022.sbeok.shnf

I feel like Harry Hood often produces some of the lightest prettiest music they play. Checking 11/12/94 now.

@kipmat I remember streaming that tour opener, being jealous as all hell I wasn't there. Loved the Nothing from that show, it is indeed a very pretty type-1 jam. To respond to the OP, off the top of my head I'm gonna go with Mountains In the Mist from IT. Not crazy type 2, but damn is it hauntingly beautiful.

The jam that leads into Taste on 2-17-97 is the one. The f***in One!!

6/4/11 Harry Hood-> Have Mercy-> Harry Hood always makes me tear up! The jam after Have Mercy is so amazing. Trey and Page going back and forth before PERFECT lizards and have mercy teases. Gets me every time. Also the hood from 12/21/95, curtain with 10/26/10, waves 8/15/11 and 6/28/12 waves-> bug. Just a few off the top of my head.

8/18/2012 Simple is relatively short but very sweet. I find the playing similar to the end of the Bethel Waves. Another one of my favorites is the jam after Horn from 7/15/98 (labeled Portland Jam on the live Phish release). I often listen to this before bed.
