TTFF: 50 and a Short Poll
12-28-12 (Graham Lucas)
Here are ten more jams/sequences—unranked—that take the next ten slots in 2012’s Top 50. Below, I threw in a random reader’s poll. Take a few seconds to weigh in on some Phishy questions.
“Tweezer” 8/26 II, Charlotte, NC
This jam could be ranked higher.

“Back On the Train -> Hold Your Head Up” 6/28 II, Noblesville, IN
A rare move outside the lines of “BOTT” brought the show to outer space.

“Disease > Sand -> Twist” 6/29 II, Noblesville, IN
This sequence felt like the start of a huge set.

“Stash” 8/22 I, Kansas City, MO
A first set scorcher, one of the dark horse chunks of leg two.

camby, kurt thomas, jason kidd, kenyon martin…it was a fun game to watch.
st denis reba again, eh?
Palmer, thnx for the Dave’s picks info, can’t wait!
or im sure MiA linked it somewhere in the last 123 pages.
got off my lazy ass and looked….page 3 @boris
leave for a week long trip in 24 hrs and have a TON to do before then. instead of doing any of it I made a nice playlist from sumo and vw’s orange
#prioritiz’d
thanks xpun
i guess i have heard this before
solid goodness
i still hold msg 95 as the highest of the high, but that is not to say that there isn’t one floating out there that may be better
what’s shaking bb. i hope all is well. quick drive by: the new dave’s picks will be rad. ’69 was an amazing year for the gd. tc was a wonderful addition. when i was in high school 3/1/69 was a consistent go to. i can’t wait to hear the new pick. the grateful dead have been on constant rotation the last two weeks.
on a side note: the goat is good.
on another side note: been listening to a little 2.0 recently- a wonderfully underrated era.
What the hell, made a Chicago hotel reservation, right across from Grant Park: Essex Inn, not sexy but has a rooftop pool & is very close to Northerly Island
Doubt I’ll actually go, but just in case…
Bieber woozy…

In case you didn’t click spasms link:
“On Monday, he kept thousands of young fans and their tired, outraged parents up past their bedtimes after arriving on stage nearly two hours late for a sold-out show at the same arena. Bieber was greeted by choruses of boos from the crowd. Minutes into his performance, throngs of sobbing school-aged “Beliebers” were hauled away by parents desperate to catch the last trains home on a school night.”
Holy shit. Axl II in the making. Little dickhead
Mmmm IHOP Colorado omelette. Kids in tow. Lou Reed>Commadores on the radio. Loving life.
Block off July 3 thru August 5. That’s all I got.
No fest. Stand alone Dicks for Labor wknd.
