Your Favorite Trey Solo By Year

CannedWalrus Permalink
CannedWalrus List your favorite solo that Trey played for any given year(s). Why do you love it?

For example, here are a couple of mine...

1997: Taste 7/22/97 - Aside from the 32nd note rampage toward the end, Try's phrasing here is really marvelous. He delivers theme after theme and meanders through the chord progression in harmonically strange ways.

2012: Light 8/19/12 - I'm talking about the portion just before Sally when the band starts to hint at the syncopation. Just a storm of criminally nasty blues licks.

etc.

SpiritWolf For 2012 I like the boogie on 12/6/7

GhostBuster Permalink
GhostBuster Big fan of the '97 cow funk stuff like the 7/23/97 Ghost. Anything that's just about that in-the-pocket funk groove is what I really dig.

Oh gosh... this will not be competent, even. But, highlighting only things that I consider Trey SOLOS:

92: Weekapaug 3/24
93: SOAM 8/20
94: Hood 11/12
95: YEM 12/9/95
96: Weekapaug 10/22
97: Taste 11/26
98: Stash 12/28
99: My Left Toe 7/21 (arguably not a solo, but I'm counting it)
00: Bathtub Gin 6/28 (also arguably not a solo)
03: Hood 2/28
04: Limb by Limb 6/26

And I'm afraid my 3.0 knowledge won't even give me a fair shot at putting together a good list.

This list would be wildly different if I sat down right now and started it again.

TheArgus These are only the ones I can call without a question my favorites from the year. List is entirely subjective so suck it

87- Curtain With 8/29
91- YEM 7/26. Not a long one at all, but Trey shredding + horns......drools
92- Hood 4/18
97- Stash 7/2
00- Moma 9/29. Whole show is great until Kid Rock came out. Phish, you are still not forgiven for letting that swine share a stage with you
03-Hood 7/25
09- Waves-> ASIHTOS 6/10
10- Fluffhead 10/16

88-89 are missing, but any Whipping Post from those years are in the running, just raw energy
93-96 are missing because duh. Same goes for 98-99
04 is missing because I like to pretend that year doesn't exist
11-12 are missing because I still need to take more time to listen to them

I would also like to add that all early 90's Possums kill. Especially 92. They are dangerous though as they have been known to induce erections lasting for over 4 hours... generally full of secret language signals too

Beautiful , reminds me of Fukoaka in ways. Though I love this version i think trey meanders a little too much towards the end, felt a little forced/lost.

03 piper 2/16 so inventive and fun

You're missing the rest of the date, and a song. Only show played in Meh (usually spelled "May" ) 2009 was 5/31. You're probably thinking of the Ocelot solo. Debut version. Trey tore into that first instrumental break like he can haz claws.

All better now?
