TTFF: Relics of ’98
Denver 2011
This Friday’s playlist is composed of jams from a different era. All of the songs featured today have taken a back seat during the modern era of Phish, but were once central jam vehicles. I decided to pluck stellar versions from 1998 to add cohesion to the selections. Enjoy the tunes today and through the weekend!

“2001” 7.17.98 II
One of the all-time classic versions that never gets old.

“Tube” 7.16.98 II
The wide-open funk of the Gorge.

“Mike’s Song” 11.7.98 I
A somewhat glossed-over version that came as the second song of UIC ’98.

“Halley’s Comet > I Didn’t Know” 8.3.98 I

“Wolfman’s Brother -> Lizards” 11.18.98 II
One of the lesser discussed shows of Fall ’98—Greenville, South Carolina—had plenty to talk about.

I am 12 minutes in, which is halfway through their first song with him. I’m ready for some more Phish, please
I’ll watch the highlights after Tom
I am, Tom. What the hell happened to John Kerry. He looks terrible.
Hockey game AJ
You should have to take a shot of tequila every time Obama says “fair share” during the SOTU. You’d be vomiting on yourself in no time. ha!
Love watching the Republicans not clapping for bringing jobs back to USA and building the American work force. That must be some commie shit.
or every time the GOP says “it’s Obama’s fault” 😉
Shit talking about China tally: 3
yeah, his family hockey game over the holidays involved some heavy checking it seems
Make that 4
Obama- hates China and millionaires….lol
Scapegoating. Whatever, I’m sure he had to get China’s permission in advance. They pay the bills.
Still weird for me to see Arne Duncan on tv… my old boss, and before that a day to day colleague.
Moved on to set 2 of that show. Obama vocal jamming over Halley’s right now
Nice, keeping college costs down… on to my current job. I know people on here are on the O’bummer thing, but I fucking dig him.
Wait, did he just say he wants to make it illegal to drop out of high school?
I’m all for keeping college costs down. A fucking men
Wait, did he just say that women are equal to men?
I love you Barack
Did anyone else see Sean from Real World Boston when Obama was strolling in? I guess he’s a congressman now…or so my wife informs me
