It is easy. Change the song list to the following:Pebbles & Marbles
7 Below
46 Days
Walls Of The Cave
Waves
When Round Room was released, I listened to it once, and then removed all the songs but these, and said "Wow, less is more." BTW, doing this makes this a 47 minute album, which is pretty standard for an LP.
After a decade, I still wish they would have done this. At the time, there were all sorts of long, complex songs that had never been recorded (like Slave, Harpua, Hood, and most Gamehenge tunes,) but nearly every ballad and short song had found its way onto a studio album.
I thought then, and still think now, that it would have been a nice change to have some shorter songs like Round Room and Sugar Shack enter into the canon of songs that only serious fans would know about.
And they would have had an opportunity to sober up and forget Mexican Cousin altogether.

You gotta leave Round Room and Mexican Cousin in there. I love those songs.

Mexican Cousin is a pretty good song for a what it is. I love the Stones and that's what it is - through a Phish lense.

Thunderhead is beautiful. I really hope the bust it out at a show this year (one i'm at preferably). When I saw it at Deer Creek in 03 it just seemed perfect. I was way up on the hill, the sound was great, as were the shrooms. It's one of those phish memories that I'll hold onto forever.

I like your perspective. Definitely agree. Not a fan of Round Room (the song) Mexican Cousin is cool though, you should keep that in.

The first few times I heard Round Room, I was pretty appalled. It was an example of what I hated about Phish 2.0. I listened once or twice and put it away. Then I read up on the album and how it was produced and why it was the way it was and that intrigued me enough to go back and give it another listen. Now, I love it. It was a pretty bold move for Phish to release Round Room as it was. The recordings on that album are very raw as the band was essentially playing through that material for the first time. It's more like a rehearsal tape than anything else and it captures a very interesting, perhaps even emotionally fraught, period of the band's history. They had just come back from the "hiatus" and were trying to come back together as a band again. Listening through that lens, the material on Round Room made a lot more sense. The message the band was sending was "This is who we are. This is where we are at right now". There is a fragility and vulnerability to the material that is beautiful. Even Mexican Cousin.
