gotta go with umph on this one. saw them play this with Kyle from SCI sometime in 2005.

umph also just made a sbd of the 4-08-2008 show available for free on the LMA (rawking second set with sick jams going into N2F and returning to ringo):

i think the reason nobody covers phish is because it’s too soon. all those other bands are now defunct. and everbody hopes (knows?) phish isn’t done yet

Nice question Jennifer. I’d rephrase it to be,

“Why does every jamband cover the Talking Heads, Pink Floyd & The Beatles but many are scared to death of the third-rail of the jamband scene: The Phish”

Not a hater on AGP or Scarecrow here, but the Umph (both on this edition and live) editions are excellent…

nice selection this week HT.

I have a topic for HT – Why does every jamband cover the Talking Heads?

I mean, other than the fact that the Talking Heads are one of the best bands ever.

UM, my favorite lyrical stew to date came after that one. “let me smile, let me laugh, let the good times pass, then I’m gone”

Whenever i am at an SCC show and close my eyes when Nick takes the helm of this song I come to one and only one conclusion: I want to move to Vermont with him, carry 3 out 4 of his children to term and open up a bait shop.

What I am saying is: he fucking nails it hard, and long.

Love this song! Really some great versions up here. Was torn, but had to go with Umph on this one, but I did vote for Scarecrow Collection for the Jammys. Really enjoy this column.
