  2. You Will Never Believe What Covers Phish has in Store this Halloween

    October 27, 2014 by TreyAntipasta

    With Phish probably, maybe so, maybe not playing an album this Halloween show, The Phunion got together and came up with a list of random covers that Phish should play instead of some album everyone is going to bitch about anyway. Add your ideas in the comments below:

    Beck “Golden Age”, just to cause stats confusion.

    “Viva Las Vegas” with special guest vocalist Jello Biafra.

    Foo Fighters “The Pretender”, since Dave Grohl needs the money.

    The Doobie Brothers’ “Jesus is Just Alright With Me”, because they already played “Jesus Left Chicago” and this will appease The Phellowship.

    Daft Punk “Voyager”, to show that no matter what, Phish is better than Umphrey’s at everything.

    ELO “Evil Woman”, dedicated to Page’s ex-wife, Sophie.

    Trey Anastasio Band “Liquid Time”, yes, we called it a TAB song.

    Taylor Swift “Shake”, Phish’s way of bringing attention to Parkinson’s.

    Ozzy Osbourne “No More Tears”, dedicated to the Coventry Wading.

    Megan Trainor “All About That Bass”, since it’s better than ‘Contact’ ever was.

    Metallica “Master of Puppets” – is Fishman on par with Lars? Doubtful, but this will prove it either way.

    Any Billy Joel song – Piano Man can suck it

    The debate is over. All this talk of what tier some jambands are on is now settled. We used 3 scientific calculators, an abacus, two slide rules and a map of the stars to come up with this list. The result: a definitive list of jambands, ranked by tier

    4-tier-curved-swim-spa-step

    1st Tier – Phish
    There is no other band in this tier for a reason.

    2nd Tier – Grateful Dead, Widespread Panic, Bassnectar, Umphrey’s McGee
    The Dead would be higher, but they couldn’t handle their shit.

    AKA, the Dad Rock tier.

    Colorado gets its own tier because Colorado is super fucking heady.
