DirtyAl1173 Damn. I remember when I first got into Phish "Sample" was always being bashed as a NOOB's favorite song.

Well, I was one of those noobs then and after so many years of listening to them, I still have my noob moments.

Robert_Zimmerman I love possum, bouncing, heavy things, sample, and farmhouse. I do not always love the set placement.

But I hate Alaska with the passion of 10,000 burning suns.

^^^^^
This is pure poetry, and it also comes close to my feelings (although I'd want to throw a coupla thousand more suns in there just for good measure).

kipmat Alaska is welcome to appear mid-first set, but it is a classic second set flow-killer.

Call me a dreamer, but I believe someday Sample In A Jar will go type II. And all of Phishdom, the wooks, the dweebs, the weed whores and white-hatters, will hear it and go a camera.
