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.

Obama was jamming to some Built to Last by the forefathers before he stepped to the stage..
Wouldn’t have been my choice of a dead jam, but it works for him.
Nice AJ!
How ’bout that milk spill in WI.??? 🙂
“Let me be clear. Trey must stop Hors’ing jams starting immediately!”
no one will ever go to jail for financial crimes… who do think is paying for the campaign?
Hate to say it, but tar sands oil will be harvested. It all will be.
Buffets secretary in the front row…. awesome.
Win the future is out . Built to last is in. Campaign 2012 gonna be super h3tty!
Dicks Picks 8 FTW.
Show me something….
Pennsylvania Ave is the new Shakedown St.
I hope he does Picasso Moon next.
Victim or the Crime would seem to work on many levels also.
So I assume that makes the Congress building the Brokedown Palace?
lolz you guys are killin’ it
Barack’s got no balls and Mit’s got no point. Gonna be an interesting year.
state of the union filtered through bb comments and twitter feed is very disorienting. he’s a fan of Brent era dead tunes and hates Chinese millionaires is all I take from it. Guess I should watch it when I get home for clarification.
Obumers balls will come out when he’s a lame duck pres.
I am hoping for that @Duder.
if your a die hard Dem you have to be rooting for Newt, right? I mean, that asshat has zero chance of beating anyone for president.
beating the war drum
Yeah, Newt is not Built to Last at all. He’s built to fart.
Love that newt = Dwight photo mr p
Newt won’t win but will be Mitt’s only competitor
Too much clapping
