I was standing in the Michigan Theater, last night, something a cross between a
cult 
movie theater and an opera house, watching those cats of the silver notes 
playing out an unrecognizable tune. The girl in front of me grabbed me 
during Sparkle, the previous song, and exclamed her love for the melody. 
This first bonding experience encouranged me to see if she could perhaps 
dispell my curiosity and tell me which song was hitting the ear drums. We 
both had no clue. 
     Near the end of the groove a familiar word shot into my brain. "My 
friend's got a knife" rang out with horrific tones of mystery and suspence. 
I've never heard that song before. but I recognized it. Where? The 
PhishNet!!! In the set lists, the song was mentioned. I decided to make 
this a game. Any tune I didn't know perhaps could be recognized by a few 
key words.
     In the second set before the balls were bouncing around, right after 
Ester, I believe, another tune I did not recognize. The even bi-sylabic 
rhythum helped remember es-ter as the previous song. Something to check on 
the net set lists (Where are those by the way??? you mean to tell me that 
none of the U of mich people bothered to sign in after the show???). 
Another familiar phrase hit my ear: Astyllax (sp?), the witch. Another unknown 
name on the set lists recognized in context.  Jon really got into this one. 
He groved on the nessecity of the beat's strength and simplicity. Something 
he could do for hours and still keep smiling (then again he could probably 
do the beginning riff to llama or My Sweet One for hours and never tire).


This has happened to me a number of times. It's how I recognized I am 
hydrogen-->mikes song--> Weekapug (sp?) Groove when they played it 
(I believe) at the Agora last spring..

Zonk.

I finally wandered over to the library ("the dewitt wallace librry" and pulled
out the most recent Business Week and quickly flipped to Page 74.. ad sure
enough there they were!  I like the shirt Matt- the net.shirt that is!
Would someone explain how this photo came to be or something, just wonderingf.
I thought that it was ironic that the photo had a Phishnet shirt, and a 
Phish hat but under bands it listed Nirvana, RHCP, but NOT PHISH- think
about it!

You can get a Phish hat or any other shirt or sticker thru the mail.

You can always call and find out, too.

Hi,
 I just have to say that with all this whining about the bamd not hanging
out anymore it is simply not true. I went to 3 shows this tour and either saw or
hung out with them at all three:
1) At Albany Trey was hanging out right outside the stage door , hanging
  with EVERYBODY. The funniest part about it was that many people were
  standing as close as five feet from him without even realizing it.
2) At Binghamton, no pass was required to go backstage, I just walked in the
   side door and hung out. Trey even stepped out for a litle while and
   smoked with a few fans on the bus (which surprised me because I was
   under the impression from the net that he no longer smokes)
3) At Portchester the first night I once again just marched backstage
   from the Stage door with nobody stopping me, but  unfortunately only
  saw Fishman, who was extremely friendly and spoke to me for a good 10-15
  minutes.

So who is complaining that the band no longer hangs out? They are making a
serious effort, but they can't just walk into the lobby of the Cap Theater
right after a show they played to 3000 people.
Smaller shows = more intimacy.
 Who was at Roseland in the Spring? At that small venue, several band mambers
were hanging out right on the floor in the middle of everyone before they
even had a chance to catch their breath.

So if you want to hang with them jusyt go and hang out, and don't cry
bedause they don't go running to you.

| Can anybody else think of earlier versions of tunes that have been revived

How 'bout that random piano bit in Gamehenge that has become the solo in
Esther.  

| Does anybody else think that the reason that they don't compose epics like
| Fluff's Travels and David Bowie and Antelope is partly because they don't
| have so many loose pieces of jams floating around anymore. 

I totally agree with this theory.  Some more thoughts:

Seems to me that the band did this in their 'forming years.'  They wrote a
lot of 1/2 songs, or stupidly lyric'd songs with a great beat or jam.  Over
a number of years, many of these parts all managed to evolve or work their
way into the 'newer' songs.  Now it seems that they write entire, full songs
and don't mess with the unfinished song-bits on stage all that much.  Maybe
they DO have a ton of half-songs that we'll never hear live, just because
they (might) have changed their live playing style.

On a related note...  Phish seems to experiment A LOT on stage.  A long time
ago in a restaurant far, far away came the '67 Electrolux -- it sucked.
There were trampolines at some point.  There continues to be a plethera of
guest appearances: Giant Country Horns, the Dude of Life, Artis the
Spoonman, etc.  Last tour/year it was the language.  This tour its the
big-ball-jam.  What's next?

All I'm trying to suggest is that maybe our guys have decided not to
experiment as much with their songs and song-bits live, and focus instead on
other audience-participation activities, so we can join in on their fun!
Do their shows suffer because of it?  I don't think so -- it's viceral to
the Phish Experience!

I guess that's one way to defend fraternities. On the other hand, some
frats are just a great way for a bunch of LSD crazed druggies to get to

a house, though it is sadly demised (NOT OUR FAULT!!! ;-)

i agree with matt - don't judge phish phans by their age.  if anyone
judged my commentary to be against new phans or show attendees based
on age or stereotypes - that's not at all what i meant. yeah, i was
rather young at my first show too. and i LOVE running into folk who
are seeing their first show - esp. if they don't know much about 
phish and haven't heard 200000 bootlegs and so forth - "cuz they
always look completely blown away and they're so boggled by the bands 
and such things as vaccuum cleaner solos, etc (that many of the old 
fans kinda take for granted).  no, no - nothing at all against new phans
or against younger pholks at shows.....what i hate are people who 
either are obviously not there for the music and who are obnoxious
to other people, act irresponsibly, harrass women, and generally 
phuck-up the experience for anyone else. those things are inexcusable 
in any situation. well, gotta run - i'm late.
ANN ARBOR TONIGHT! i'll be there... i'm the redhead in the bright 
turquoise phish shirt if anyone sees this before going to the show 
and wants to say "hi"...don't think i'll be able to make the gathering

The stuff shown between sets, before and after the shopw, and also at the
other times was First Ave stuff.. I've seen it all there before at other shows.
The music was also First Ave's choice (after all they ARE a club that DJ's

High Hoe,
Well it has taken a great deal of restraint to keep me from commenting on
all of the recent net warfare, today my resistance broke and so here I am
throwing my two cents worth in about how we should deal with what gets 
posted here.  Let us first try to remember how unserious all of this really
is.  For goodness sake how can anyone out there get all worked up about 
what someone posts?(note my perplexed face as I consider that this post is
me getting worked up about people getting worked up).  Jesus all of you
rule mongers go home(again the perplexed face as I try to make a rule 
outlawing the rule makers).  Let people post whatever they want.  I am
oft-times fascinated by how many other things people who like the band
Phish have in common.  Isn't that what communication and the like are all
about?  Trying to find the common theme that makes us humans?  I for one
am involved with the scenes that I am involved with(Phish, Dead, etc..)
Because I find that in those environments there is a special freedom and
understanding, a mellowness.  Couple that with music that literally becomes
a religious experience and you have near perfection.  But alas there are
always folks who try to grab control and influence the direction of things
(note that the perplexed look is becoming permanent).  My wish is that
everyone would take a step back, relax, and not give a shit what other 
people post.  This is a forum for all of us, we can easily enough pass
by what we don't like and engage ourselves with what we do like. I'll 
admit I found the first sorority joke tasteless, so I just hit the 'n'
button and it was out of my life forever.  I didn't like the spin doc
smashing, so I just hit 'n' and it was over.  The net is not real life
it is a place where you can just get rid of agitation by hitting a button,
so why not try it? Let freedom dominate, chill out, and listen to Phish.
Love->Jeremiah

Anyhow, here's the chords for it.  I've only written them out the

As always, comments, corrections, etc., to ericbe@microsoft.com.

--Eric Berman

-----------------------------------------------------
"Fee" by Phish

       Cm                Abm
In the cool shade of the banana tree
       Bbm                     F#m
On the rugged trail toward the balcony
  F#m7                   C#
A child of the twentieth century
  Ab                                      
A dried up Goliath and a weasel named Fee

(same chords for each verse)
Far away in another place
A fading beauty named Milly Grace
A gospel singer with pocks on her face
And a bamboo cane to help her keep the pace

Fee was a Buddhist prodigy
Long past the age of maturity
Someday he knew it would set him free
Like it did for Floyd the chimpanzee

Eb  Bb          C#
Oh, Fee, you're trying to live a life
       Ab
That's completely free.
       Eb
You're racing with the wind
       Bb
You're flirting with death
   Gm7
So have a cup of coffee
    Ab
And catch your breath

Fee first met Milly in a bar in Peru
His heart was jumping like a kangaroo
Like a beast in a cage in an old Dutch zoo
It was hopping and thumping in wooden shoes

But Floyd was jealous and alone
He wanted Milly for his own
A desperate craving in his bones
"Their love", he said, "I will not condone."

Then one day on a ship to Quebec
Floyd found Milly on a lover's trek
He picked up a bottle and broke off the neck
It sliced through the air, and Fee hit the deck

Oh, Fee, you're trying to live a life
That's completely free
You want to stay with Milly
Until you're dead
But you just got a bottle
Upside your head

Milly turned and began to scream at Floyd
She said "You think you're pretty mean"
And though she was as thin as a small string bean
She slammed him in the face with a nectarine

Floyd fell back over the edge of the ship
Till he hung from the rail by his fingertip
Milly said, "Floyd I'll make you lose your grip
With this tiny piece of paper I can make you slip"

So Milly took that paper and did the deed
Floyd hit the water with astonishing speed
And as the sharks circled and began to feed
Milly knew her weasel was finally free

Oh, Fee, you're trying to live a life
That's completely free
Floyd is dead; he's nothing but a ripple
Cause Milly took that paper
And sliced him on the nipple
