FunkyBeats Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 O.K., here's the deal:I would like to make a Phish mixer of some of my favourite Phish tracks. Now I'm a bit of a Phish freak but I know that I can't compete with your collective freakiness on this subject. So I would like to poll your opinions on the best versions of different tracks and compare them with mine. Let's start with the perennial favourite; YEM.What's your favourite version? Thanks,FunkyBeats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwa. Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 (edited) My favourite YEM is one that i was at. 12-2-99 i think it was. there was a silent jam in the middle of it and then fishman sang little drummer boy at the end and left. Wicked show overall: 12-02-99 The Palace, Auburn Hills, MI 1: Runaway Jim, Farmhouse*, Heavy Things, Roggae, Run Like an Antelope, Wading in the Velvet Sea, Poor Heart, Sample in a Jar, Free, The Squirming Coil (1:18) 2: Boogie On Reggae Woman, Gotta Jiboo, Bathtub Gin** -> Also Sprach Zarathustra, You Enjoy Myself*** -> Little Drummer Boy# (1:19) E: Bold as Love (0:06) *With slightly different vocal arrangement (refrain at end). **Unfinished; with "Also Sprach Zarathustra" teases. ***With silent jam. #Basically part of the vocal jam, which ended with Fish alone onstage, standing behind his drums, singing "Little Drummer Boy" (possibly with "vulgar variations" such as "I want to make love to you, ba rum ba rum ba bum bum"). review here. Another one from my collection that came to mind was from this show: 07-08-94 Great Woods, Mansfield, MA 1: Llama-> N2O*-> Lizards-> Tela-> Wilson-> AC/DC Bag-> Colonel Forbin's Ascent-> Fly Famous Mockingbird-> The Sloth-> McGrupp and the Watchful Hosemasters-> The Divided Sky 2: Rift, Sample in a Jar, Reba-> Y-Rushalayim Schel Zahav, It's Ice, Stash, You Enjoy Myself-> Frankenstein-> You Enjoy Myself, Julius, Golgi Apparatus. E: Nellie Cane, Cavern. First set contained a complete "Gamehendge" narration. *The idea was being in a dentist's chair, with the gas slowly putting you to sleep, and on your way to Gamehendge. Gonna put this second set on now, sooo good Edited December 13, 2007 by Guest fixed the date Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paisley Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 partial to the June 11, '94 from Red Rocks (3rd song set 1)whole first set is crazy on, top of the wavehave only bumped into the FM broadcast but its still great sound quality (aside from the rock radio dj girl who tries to go for commercial during a spacey moment before someone abruptly turns her mic off) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ike Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 My favourite version of YEM is the one from 07/25/92 Stowe Performing Arts Center, Stowe, VT. This is the one with Carlos Santana and his percussion section sitting in. Actually one my favourite live moments in Phish history, not just my favourite version of YEM.

Booche Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 I've been giggling about this thread since I first saw it because 09-17-99 immediately popped into my head. Some of my best friends raved about this one right after it. I would have given my right nut to have seen this show with them because it is great on disc but its not the best YEM.09/17/99 (Fri) Shoreline Amphitheatre - Mountain View, CASet 1: Free Thought, Guyute, Ghost, Lawn Boy, Peaches en Regalia, Moma Dance, Water in the Sky, When the Circus Comes, Get Back on the Train, David Bowie, The Squirming CoilSet 2: Runaway Jim, Sand, Piper > Jam, Roggae, You Enjoy Myself* > Bass Duet*, Wolfman's Brother > Cold Rain & Snow**, E: Viola Lee Blues***Comment: * - with Phil Lesh on bass (and trampoline on "You Enjoy Myself"), ** - with Phil Lesh on bass and vocals, *** - with Phil Lesh on bass and Warren Haynes on guitar.

PassedOutGuy Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 10.14.95 has to be my choice for YEM's but how can you really narrow this song down to one version... this one comes with some crazy avant garde shit with MMW... Trey later joins MMW that night at their late show... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phorbesie Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 that was a wicked show booche. but i don't especially remember the YEM. it did portend crazy things to come and we knew it, so there's that. phil jumping on a tramp with trey and page was pretty neat too though!

Northern Wish Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 Second vote for the Great Woods 94 version. Epic!That or the NYE run from 95 version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogatthestation Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 Although it doesn't fit the bill of "epic" YEM's, one of my personal favourites is the one from Toronto 7/20/99..A very understated and under appreciated gem of a yem, in my opinion. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
