Harry Hood- Favorites

Yukon_Jack Permalink
Yukon_Jack Hi all,

(brief bio)

I've been a Phish fan since...oh, about 2008 or so and was fortunate enough to see them in their 2009 tour etc. My love of Phish has inspired me to be a musician so I went though 4 years of music school (I'm a pianist) and soon going into graduate work for orchestral conducting.

I plan on doing a study of Harry Hood for my band's blog and would like some suggestions on which versions to listen to (ex- 10.21.95 etc) and learn from. The finish product will probably be posted sometime in January.

My ears are open!

My band is Glass Cannon

Thanks-

YJ

fishman4 well as you mentioned 10/21/95 is great, 12/31/93 is my absolute favorite, the version from "A Live One" is not to be missed either. 11/12/94 is also a fantastic version.

With all due respect (and with all due respect to the ALO Hood), with Hood I don't think you can really offer one version and say "end thread".

Plus the OP is looking for more than one version.

Two of my favorite favorites have already been mentioned: 12/30/95 and 12/31/93.

Several recent versions I have enjoyed more than most enjoyed: 8/15/12, 8/15/11, 6/4/11, and 9/2/12

Pockets_O_Houlihan Permalink
Pockets_O_Houlihan Cant believe no one has mentioned the Portsmouth,VA Hood it wasn't your normal old hood and IMO most ballsy Hood this year. Ya it wasn't amazing controlled, blissful hood jam that I love hoods for, but this hood went places... weird and super spacey places and then dropped right into WTU.

The two portsmouth shows were amazing from the stage antics, to the amazing variations of songs. Like the party time (with one of the great country horns), or this hood> wtu, or the maze with a lightsaber. Mexican cousin was something I had been wanting for a while and just turns out they come out in sombreros, f***ing hilarious. One of my favorite parts of summer with @wookiephart and @philletmignon. Sorry had to rant about how no one talks about these shows ever.

Best hoods IMO:
11/16/96
12/18/10(first hood ever so #1 in my books, plus musically it was beyond epic)
12/31/93
10/21/95

RovingReporter You should collect every Hood recorded and do a comparison chart. I'd be all about checking it out.

I can't speak to all Hoods as I've not heard every one, but Worcester 2010 is my favorite.

MDosque Permalink
MDosque The obvious classics:

12/31/93 - The last 5-6 minutes will literally take your breath away. Phish had arrived.
10/23/94 - A Live One Version with two drum breaks/peaks

A 2.0 Dark Horse (kind of - a lot of people are in the know regarding this version but still...):

7/31/03 - I saw it live and loved it then. Listened back on a quality recording, it will win you over. Really different, creative sounds in the middle and they were locked in.

Enjoy dude.
