One of the top highlights from Big Cypress—an all-time great.

“Reba” 6.13.94 II Kansas City, KS
1994 and “Reba,” a match made in heaven. Here is another stellar version.

“Ghost” 8.7.98 I, Raleigh, NC
A first set bomb after the rain stopped at Walnut Creek ’98.

“Piper” 8.8.98 II, Columbia, MD
As Phish came back from Europe, after dropping Prague’s 7/6/98 version, “Piper” continued to expand.

“Tweezer” 11.3.96 II, Gainesville, FL
A groovy and percussive version with Karl Perazzo; two shows after “Remain In Light” you can already hear the influence of the album’s style.
[audio:http://phishthoughts.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Track-05-6.mp3]***
“YEM -> Izabella” 7.26.97 II, Austin, TX
Everyone knows “Tweezabella,” but do you know her sister “YEMabella?”

“Stash” 11.13.97 II, Las Vegas, NV
Phish dropped this mammoth “Stash” on the first night of Fall ’97. Funk, what?

mornin’ peeps
looking forward to the Selecta Dad Hour
and then spinning these tunes. thanks, Miner!
hey, did you guys see that Op Ed everyone is talking about? Total shock that he would leave the Empire.
also, for Kaveh and the other gearheads
T3 with the great humor this morning.
Hopefully GDad didn’t touch the tequila. We know what that does.
After some coffee…

Morning comrades
UVM!
The Catamounts are going to stomp UNC. 🙂
@MiA Indeed. Especially if he went to a Hardproof show. Live afrobeat and tequila mix all too well…
very true g7, very true
Whoever recommended the book A Heart Blown Open, thank you. Very good read so far
I bitched about it last night but my cable is out til Saturday afternoon, meaning no march madness except on iPad, but worse, no Internet for on sale
So if anyone got everything they needed and feels like trying for 2 for July 4th at jones beach for me tomorrow, I’d be very very appreciative
I trust in the BB magic so I know it will all shake out eventually but it’d be nice to have some tix in hand
Good morning kids!
I’m “watching” Sel J’s show right now
watching the playlist update, and reading the comments.
haha. audio withdrawal.
@Dr. Pro
can you go to somewhere with wifi or is that not safe? (sorry if that’s too obvi of an idea)
And how is Quinn doing?
**random reggae artist plug**
If any of ya’ll haven’t checked out Jimmy Cliff’s life work…shit is so dope. Guy was a genius.
@TypeIII and other climbers
I tried slacklining with my girl at a park last night
I stood up on my own.
tomorrow my goal is 2 steps.
it’s super hard, but super fun.
it must have been really funny to watch me yesterday. My girlfriend got about 3/4s of the way across and then she has to help me stand up.
I was playing hard, though. Left it all out on the field.
Morning BBers!
Going to be a great day: Happy Birthday to my Mrs. (mom and Phil Lesh); Phish tickets today and SelectorJ!
No dice on the lottery.
gdad in studio llfa
Awesome
word, BTB.
Sel J turned me on to one of the greatest sounding albums I’ve heard in a long time a couple days ago:
The Mighty Threes: Africa Shall Stretch Forth Her Hand
I think it’s changing my life. straight up. haha
Gdad in the heezy
>>LiveNation App<<
damn.
i wish i was listening so bad.
Guy
wasis a genius.don’t put him in the grave just yet!
celebrity sit-ins.
good point, he’s not dead!!! In fact, he still rocks out. I saw him performing at Radio City Music Hall on VH1 a couple weeks back. He’s still got it.
Sel J run tings seen
Hey folks- Go cats. Nice selecta today.
soccer people: crazy new info on the Egypt riot from a little while back. Unreal.

If Vermont wins today, Phish owes us a surprise spring celebration run
it’s only fair.
