    yeah, just get 'a live one' and go from there. if you can't get into that album, chances are you won't get into phish. even though i like a lot of them, their studio albums aren't what it's all about, really.

    i've been listening to a lot of 'the squirming coil'. the piano outro is almost always sublime.

    Thanks for all the album and song recommendations! I'm really getting into Phish, they are so good :D Can anyone recommend some really good live albums or shows to listen to?

    A Live One is their most popular live commercial release. Its a compilation of songs from shows in '94 I think. But there's so many good shows. Any New Year's Eve show would be great to listen to. NYE 95 is really good. They have a bunch of boxsets like Hampton Comes Alive, Chicago 94, Alpine Valley 2010, and plenty more. Pick up a DVD to see how awesome a show is too haha. But Phish is incredible, I'm seeing them in Toronto and Chicago after PJ this summer!

    Go for it man, you'll have a great time! Another great thing about Phish: your ticket has a code for a free download of the show which is available hours afterwards!!

    look up MKDevo on youtube.....top notch phish videos (and PJ too) from a fan's perspective. he does most east coast shows and has the full videos of those shows uploaded in the best quality you can find.

    each several years of phish will offer a different style of playing.....my fav. is 1997 (year of the funk), but the 3.0 era (which we are currently in) is very good. reminds me of older phish (90-93) with shorter jams on songs. very rarely do they really stretch out songs now, gone are the days of the 3-4 song set.

    if your looking to get shows, try 12/31/95 - the island tour from 98, a live one. for newer shows, anything from dicks stadium or whatever they call it is great.

    each ticket stub also gives you a free download of that show...i'll see if I have any unused ones I can give ya.

    Thanks so much! Yeah, I just got lawn tickets for the Phish show in NJ :D how is the concert sitting on the lawn (if you ever did that for a Phish show)?

    haven't looked for any unused stubs yet, but check out phishtracks.com, that should entertain you for a while. also, look up the phish spreadsheet. phishtracks has every show available to stream for free, and the spreadsheet is every show in a good AUD recording free to download.

    as for the lawn, you'll have an absolute blast, but do try to find a spot where you can see a sightline to the stage so you can get part of the light show (5th member of the band). Wish I was hitting up NJ, I'd come find ya, looks like it's only a few nights at SPAC for me this summer.

    also, it's their 30th anniversary, so expect a big tour come fall time I'm guessing.

    First off: Great choice of Reba. That's an all-timer version (though I think a bit overrated when compared to some others).

    Second: I got your back. I have a TON of Phish stuff. You name it: early "out to destroy the world" stuff, mid-90's tension/peak jams (my favorite era), late 90's funk, more recent ambient jams. Whatever floats your boat, I can help. Drop me a PM and I'll hook you up,

    Ladies and gentlemen, I give you:

    Halloween '94 Divided Sky

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MtowGfet ... ge#t=1020s

    the whole song is about 15 mins....with a long silent pause in the middle before the jam.

    (also in this set is a ridiculous version of Julius and another GREAT Reba)
