Three Eras of Tube”
Today we take a glimpse at three generations of “Tube.” Enjoy. And if you need more “Tubes” to listen to when you are done with this sample size, check out some others here. Have a great Thursday!

7.16.98 II, George, WA
This wide-open funk jam oozes with the sound of the Gorge. Over-sized, chunky bass lines anchor this version as Trey adds all sorts of wah-groove into the mix. Trey then set some loops as Page sculpts the sound alongside him, adding a whole different, cathartic ambiance to the music. Returning to an extended series of slamming, whole-band grooves, this Gorge version has always been one of my go-to favorites

2.22.03 II, Cincinnati, OH
This explosive version kicked off one of the marquee sets of February ‘03’s comeback tour at The Crown in Cincinnati. Both Trey and Page stood out in a jam that moves far beyond anything we’ve heard recently. This furious rendition took over the entire arena, whose roar you can hear in multiple mid-jam peaks. Fishman keeps a driving, cymbal-heavy beat chugging for the duration of this best-of-the-post-hiatus era “Tube.”

6.18.09 I, Burgettstown, PA
Though its Star Lake show was nothing spectacular, this first set “Tube” remains the most significant of the modern era. Page’s takes an extended clav solo as Trey comps him with a diversity of rhythm patterns and pitch-bent notes. Trey then moves on, hitting some high-octave lead lines before the band comes back together in swanky groove and the final verse of the song.

“NPR announced this concert yesterday by saying “Former Phish frontman, Trey Anastasio…”
Did I miss something the last few days?”
Jesus, how much would it suck if that was true and we all found out because of an NPR item about Trey at the symphony?
*Shudder*
cali peeps
Anyone ever seen “Groundation”
Bob Marley tribute band. Yea I know, but kind of want to go see the venue they’re playing around here the next two nights
groundation is ok to see once. I’d spend 15bucks on em.
I saw Groundation play here in Arizona last year… They didn’t play any Marley, although they did do a tribute show years ago. They have multiple albums of originals and definitely have their own thing going on… I recommend them. They have a mellower flow to their shows — not dance hall.
interesting to see Sean Kuti’s tour. Not selling tix I see…crazy. No DC date and I heard he stiffed at 9:30 last time. Sean is playing fest this year and HOB late nit.
just spent some quality time with the Book. good stuff.
Wolavers Alta Gracia Coffee Porter.
Tasty.
plord, have you had their Black IPA? Actually, it’s by Otter Creek, which is owned by Long Trail, but you get the point. If you get the chance, it’s tough to beat for a six pack price.
I’ll look for the Black IPA; this was a random selection from the corner market 🙂
hey, how about that? a little beatles love from orchestral trey. good to see josie wales is still hanging around. love that tune & will be glad to finally get to see it live
has he done goodbye head in symphony before? i don’t think so but i’m not 100% on that. nice to see the repertoire expanding
suit & tie. no question about that
good idea, i think i just might dose…
Tanks outside the symphony kangfirm. Thing I got a decent pull of the two sets. I’ll check back either mañana or after mixing some drinks.
just got wrapped up in some amazing organ videos by this young lady. rips through some very intricate compositions. and oh, by the way, she’s blind.
Listening to this right now while watching some ball, and flipping through the book. Fishman’s jazz drumming is sooo good on this.

Grateful Dead: 14-DVD Box Set
http://www.jambase.com/Articles/57783/Grateful-Dead-14-DVD-Box-Set
If they put Egypt or a new show I’d be all over. I have a lot of those individually.
Listening to the 09 gorge jam. Still some of the best 3.0 but poor recording
What? Nothing from ’91?
