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.
***
“Golden Age -> 2001” 6/30 II, East Troy, WI
A hearty dose of whole-band funk at Alpine.
***
“Crosseyed > Slave” 6/16 II, Atlantic City, NJ
Solid Phish through and through.
***
“Twist > Piper > Billy Breathes” 6/15 II, Atlantic City, NJ
A quality, mid-set chunk of 6/15’s second set.
***
“Run Like an Antelope” 7/3 II, Wantagh, NY
A full-throttle run through the set closer
***
“Drowned > 2001 > Reba” 6/17 II, Atlantic City, NJ
Another high-quality start of a set.
***
“Tweezer” 6/10 I, Manchester, TN
The Bonnaroo “Tweezer.” The best of Leg One.
