The Chameleon Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 Hi gang, Being a deadicated Dead freak and Phishead, I have often lamented at shows, that certain songs got too much play and other great tunes were played all too little. [color:green]So what are your choices?..... Mine= GD: Played too much El Paso Me & My Uncle Not Fade Away Played too Little Unbroken Chain Brother Esau Keep On Growing Hey Pocky Way Lost Sailor Phish: Too Much Character Zero Guyute YEM Bouncin' Round the Room Too Little Camel Walk Destiny Unbound Alumni Blues Time Loves a Hero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M.O.B.E Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 Lost Sailor was played out in the early 80's. The rest of the band stopped this song, with Saint and took it out of the song selection. Also Brother Esau was also played many times in the early 80's and played out. Thats why these songs never made it that far.Unbroken Chain and Keep on Growing however I will have to agree 100%. Keep on Growing never really got a fair shot and was put away for special occasions. The Merriweather 85, Keep on Growing and the one at apline the week previous are stellar. You want to find a true rotation of GD songs go back to 79-85. Thats when alot of mix and match happened and the setlists are never even close to the nights previous or even other nights in the tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Evil_Mouse Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 "Day Job" was always a great tune, too; those little rolling fills are one of the things I love in Jerry's playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradm Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 (edited) I don't know if nero has a "Played too often" song, but (to my ears, anyway) they have at least one "Not played often enough" song: "Johnny Joe". (I also know of only two times "Sunspine" was played, both in January, 2003.)Aloha,Brad Edited November 8, 2006 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chameleon Posted November 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 (edited) Played too little:The Golden Road (To Unlimited Devotion)Till The Morning Comes Both those songs could have been monsters.Agreed "'till the moring comes" could have been a staple.The also could have played Mind Left Body Jam way more.Also why did they never play "Pride of Cucamunga" live? Great tune! I say Phil & Friends do it and it was killer!P.S. I know Lost Sailor and Brother Esau were played in the 80s. but in the grand scheme of things not enough for my tastes.As for PhishPlayed too much: Limb by Limb, TastePlayed too little: Tube, Curtain With, Big Black Furry creatures from Mars, What's the Use.

I'm still waiting for Diesel Dog to take my suggestion and cover "Fever Dog", from "Almost Famous", with "diesel" in place of "fever." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha!Dark Star wasn't overplayed but it is overrated. I like the melody but I can do without the aimless noodling, squeaks and squonks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
