      Mind's Unchained plays really well in Washington State: see Bellingham 3/8/18 and Seattle 11/14/17

      Shoutout to @Josh-Ross for turning me on to the Seattle Mind's last winter 🙂
      Bellingham is just an incredible show overall

      I'll give both of these some (johnny-) love. Hoping some other people will start jumping in this thread and upvoting these suggestions. Feels like it's the same group of us every time...Come on people, 12k views and only 112 posts, let's hear what you like!

      On that note, how about that Walls from 6/16/18? Anyone else as hooked on it as I am? Seems like an outstanding version to me.

          Sorry, Walls. I saw Windmill in the post above mine and must've put that instead! Good catch.

            Just a few things ive noticed as i listen to the fellas get down.
            12/29/17 "Aint that wrong" is just filthy
            9/30/17 "Aint that wrong">>"On fire">>"Aint that wrong" is really strong and it has caused me to go back and listen to any version of "On Fire" with a better ear. Some consider that a bathroom tune...No such thing with these guys. And from the same NY state run "ETS">"Dis Go in 5?">"ETS" which has become quite a tasty sandwhich in the Arsenal that these bring each and every night...

                9/30 AIT and the On Fire are on the list. You may have already noticed that, but just wanted to mention it. Also the 11/16/17 Backdoor Funk>On Fire>Backdoor Funk is one my absolute favorite things I've heard from them.

                  Our first Galisteo Way added to the list! Love that Lonely.

                  We need some new recs from this Summer run. Only 4 songs added since April!

                      I'll throw one out there. My Road, My Road from Indy late night is pretty amazing, or Outstanding if you will. 08/11/2018/1

                        Do we want descriptions of the notable jams? I was present for a few of these and could easily throw together a sentence or two about them. Personally when I browse the jam charts on phish.net I pick things to listen to based on the descriptions. Life is short, gotta choose wisely what to put in your ears 🙂

                          A few recommendations..

                          11/15/17 LTLO – Oddly, the second jam starts in a major key. Unusually upbeat and eventually cathartic, more like Slip & Squander than LTLO.

                          10/19/17 BDF - Outshined by the first set's Bee Jam, but very worthy. Quickly departs the typical BDF jam for percussive ground. Amazing upbeat peak explodes into cowfunk before unique phrasing and a metallic guitar tone lend a surreal quality to the song's conclusion.

                                Alternate Ending is bliss city. Check out 1-25-17 Wonder Bar the ETS -> Alternate Ending -> Salamander is choice

                                Palisades is another pretty blissful one check out 3-27-15 Vegas version - this is also on the "Live in Vegas" release on Spotify

                                Windmill can get very blissful - 1/31/18 Culture Room has an almost Eyes of the World feel to the first jam..should probably just check out that whole first set too, that Culture Jam doesnt mess around and they just melt into the BDF. The version on Live Vol 1 (not sure the date) is also really good

                                  ive been digging the weasel>palisades>weasel from that vegas release for awhile

                                  you got any recs for a weasel>palisades segment?

                                    Not too many off the top of my head but if you search this thread I think others have made some good recs for Weasel sandwiches

                                    8/5/18 BB Kings Phish Afterparty is pretty sick with the Red's Jam throw in the sandwich too

                                    1/20/18 Lancaster is a lot of fun with them switching it up and doing Palisades inside ETS and Alternate Ending inside Weasel. I think the highlight of the show is the outro jam of ETS before the drop into Weasel. After Palisades, they slam hard into ETS and finish it then the outro they drop into like half speed for a bit and bliss out before the Weasel

                                      11/04/17 is my favorite. The return/end of Weasel is one of my favorite things they've done. I also love when they hit the big riff at the end in stride instead of stopping for it. They don't seem to do it much anymore.

                                        1/12/18 Definitely gets into the conversation for W>P>W action. Early ‘18 is a treasure trove of Weasels.

                                          This thread needs some action. What is everyone digging from the last few months? I'll throw out a few...8/11 All in, 8/9 and 9/22 Bee Jam, 8/26 ETS. What else you got?
