DMB Fan Hears Phish for the First Time!! | Reacting to "Harry Hood"

[@connerzedalis9651]

So Harry Hood was the mascot of the Hood milk company and the end part of the song was their jingle back in the 80s when the song was written. Three of the band members used to live in an apartment that was across the street from the Hood bottling plant and that jingle played almost constantly so it was pretty engrained into their heads. Mr miner was the person who lived in the apartment before them and so they used to get his mail before he changed his address. Basically the song is kind of a big inside joke to them:) hope I helped! Also check out like 2001 or sand when you get a chance

[@deepdivederek]

That's funny! Thanks for the recommendations!

[@Phished123]

@@deepdivederek the reason the line is "Where do you go when the lights go out" is in the old Hood commercials, whenever someone would open their fridge Harry Hood would come out and extol the virtues of Hood Dairy products. So, they are wondering about what happens to Harry whenever someone closes the door.

[@cshubs]

I attended UVM in the late 80s when they were still playing dorms and house parties. Down the street were Ben & Jerry making ice cream, and for a short time, Bernie Sanders was still mayor. I would say listen to Junta and Lawn Boy with headphones, for sure. Then jump into live stuff. I would suggest starting with shows from the prime of their prime, 1992-1995. The energy is unreal. I am happy you started with Hood! May I suggest You Enjoy Myself and Run Like an Antelope? For sure, check out their 1991 shows with the Giant Country Horns.

[@deepdivederek]

Thank you! I'll check those out!

[@blake46long]

Those of us who Phell for Phish in the early days (for me, 1990) seem to have a different relationship with the music than those who learned to like the band post-Hoist. Yes, the energy and playfulness of the early days has never returned except for small glimpses here and there. They're a different band since the late-90s with a different vibe and approach to their music, and that's fine. People love it. Phish today brings hordes of people huge amounts of joy, and that's what really matters. But for me, their apex was NYE 92-93 at Matthews Arena at BU. It still mystifies me why that show has never been officially released other than a bad radio simulcast recording.

[@cshubs]

@@blake46long 1990 is also when I started listening to tapes, though I first learned of their existence in 1987 when I first came to Burlington.

Those are solid suggestions

[@deepdivederek]

Thank you! I'll add these to my (growing) list!!

[@LumpyHeadStudios]

@@deepdivederekI highly suggest checking out the 7/10/99 Chalkdust torture. It’s a pretty straight forward rock song, but the jam goes to special places with some of the most beautiful music they’ve created. It doesn’t stray too far into wild psychedelia that is jarring for some people who are first getting into phish. It’s a beautiful, but easy listen.

[@tombadil64]

​@@deepdivederekRewatching this today, that chalkdust he mentioned is a MUST listen. Arguably the best jam they ever did. The tone trey finds is IT.

[@alan-daniel]

The Phish studio work is largely... fine. There are some gems, though, like the "If I Could" from the album Hoist, that features Alison Krauss. Most of us would (me definitely included) recommend sticking with live stuff, though. Basically anything that Phish puts out on their official KZbin channel is a safe bet, as it's usually one of the highlights from a given show. "Harry Hood" is a community favorite, as it's consistently well played and almost always delivers a big, triumphant peak, the thing that made so many of us fall in love and become obsessed with this band. Nobody out there understands how to do that kind of thing better than Trey and Phish. If you liked this, "Slave to the Traffic Light" is a similar kind of thing (usually quick song, long-ish slow build, big peak). "The Divided Sky" is also a good choice. Some quick answers: (1) yeah, anyone in the community would instantly know what song it is. Hood is largely composed (and therefore usually played pretty similarly) up until the "Thank you Mr. Hood," at which point it becomes more free-form and can go anywhere, though it usually builds to a big peak and returns to the song for the outro (2) it's not technically the original members, but it's the same lineup since Phish really became Phish in '86, when Jeff Holdsworth quit and they became more than a college cover band. (3) I think the vast majority of us listen almost exclusively to the recordings of their shows. They release every show they play on their site (and have since 2003), and something like 75-100 shows from pre-2000 have been released as archival concert recordings Welcome to the community. It's definitely a pretty deep rabbit hole.

[@deepdivederek]

Thanks for all the info! I appreciate it! The (intimidating) deep rabbit hole is what has kept me from checking out Phish in the first place. Now that I'm here, I'm excited. Thanks again!

[@cshubs]

I think the exceptions are Junta, Lawn Boy, Rift, Hoist, and Picture of Nectar. Those albums stand as albums you want to hear with headphones. The White Tape was a good but a bit amateurish, as you might expect.

[@gmcsrbosavl6964]

Rift is the only album I ever revisit.

Almost any 92 Harry Hood is spectacular. 93 is my favorite phish year. And there are some good Hoods then too. But it's just great song. I'd encourage listening to any year.

[@deepdivederek]

Thanks!!

[@FlowerSupply420]

And to answer how to get into Phish, the answer is to have a Sherpa, a spirit guide, a vet of the scene take you through the “best ofs” of every phish track.

[@deepdivederek]

Well said! I couldn't have put it into better words, but that's what I used to think!

[@zoephotoart]

Late answering, but because this song is largely composed (instead of improv jamming), yes, if I dropped in I would immediately know what song it is. When they have type 2 jam sections (where they divert completely from the original song structure - which they frequently do) it might take longer to pick up on what song it is. I highly recommend you checking out the Harry Hood on the A Live One album - that whole album is a great intro to live Phish. For studio Phish: Billy Breathes, Junta, and Hoist are your best bets but live is where it's at. Enjoy!

[@ryankartheiser855]

I started the there first live release A Live One. Phish is known more for there live performance. But I still really enjoy the studio. You can really go wrong with anything from Phish. FYI I am a DMB fan as well.

"Harry Hood" is a heck of an introduction. Try "Billy Breathes" studio album along with "A Live One"

[@deepdivederek]

:-) Thanks! Perhaps not the best intro since it was so intense. On the other hand, I need to jump off the deep end!

[@tamarakelsey9630]

Yes definitely agree great album

[@jeffgallucci4558]

Check out phish from the mid to late 90's. They were a bit more wild and tight back then ,imo. There is also a lot of Phish lore out there, from covers to narrations to secret languages. Try Stash, Reba, Maze or Piper.. the Ghost from Prague is insane! Enjoy the jams!

[@hlf_coder6272]

Technically it's actually not the original band. Originally they had no keyboardist and two guitarists, but that was only from 83-85 when they were still in college. The other guitar player had "creative differences" and left the band. That summer Trey and Fishman (the drummer) went to Europe and while they were gone Mike (the bass player) basically hired Page (the keyboardist) on his own. When Trey first heard about it while still in Europe he disagreed with the decision because he didn't picture them with a keyboardist, but he said he instantly knew it was the right choice after the first time they played together. So technically it's not the original band, but it's really the original band considering they hadn't actually done anything significant by 85.

Harry is a carton of milk, so when you close the refrigerator door, where do you go when the lights go out?

OMG what a great intro to Phish w/ Harry Hood! If you had to make me choose... Harry Hood might be my favorite Phish song. So, hard to choose. But, It's def top 5.. or 3... But, yeah what an Intro to Phish! Always Always Always Always Always listen to live Phish! I'd recommend watching/ reviewing "Ghost" from Prague 7/6/98. There are just so many great songs a performances!... it's hard to pick just a few. The songs "Stash", "Tube", "You Enjoy Myself", "First Tube", "Mike's Song", "Weekapaug Groove", "Mercury", "2001" and "Sand" are some of my favs! So many good songs! Maybe we get you into the story "The Man Who Stepped into Yesterday" at some point! Enjoy the ride down this rabbit hole you plunged into! 😃

[@deepdivederek]

Thanks for the all the tips!

[@treebeard8475]

Sand has one of the best flicky guitar riffs I love it. Probably unpopular opinion: “horn” is one of my faves lol

[@pertjacanape]

Dave is a force of nature with certain generic gifts and a heavy load of trauma from his past which he has been working through in his songs for his entire career; he was lucky to find Carter and luckier still that Charlottesville had the scene it did, and the rest of the original lineup sort of coalesced around Dave's tremendous drive and Carter's fericious rhythmic engine. In this regard the DMB is an extension of one personality--Dave's. Phish are arguably the tighter band more prone to exploration and improv. Phish's Mike on bass guitar is unshakeable::Lessard usually is purely functional within DMB, perfectly adequate is all. Dave's playing is generally thought complex or quite gymnastic, I've heard it described as tortured in places:: Trey's playing rivals that of established jazz legend John Scofield. It's very clean and soaring. Beauford is one of my favorite drummers but Fishman does for Phish what Ringo did, play ecactly the right style for every song, fill, transition, ect. Fishman is always on time, he's the silver thread running the full length of the tapestry. So DMB has been the therapeutic vehicle of a disturbed genius in my opinion, while Phish is what can happen when brilliant people like scientists and regional business leaders have kids who meet in college over a shared love of music making, and they say" well, let's do this like it was a job, but never let it become one."

[@jesslloydjansen]

Honestly, the best thing you could do is go to a live show or two shows on consecutive nights.... you'll be hooked for life. Pun intended. Cheers

[@johnholland9371]

I've been listening to this song for almost 30 years and it just occurred to me that "where do you go when the lights go out" could be talking about death. "Thank you Mister Miner" is being grateful for the people you met along the way who influenced you. And then after a deep introspective dive into all your regrets and successes you realize how wonderful that you're still alive. And that feels pretty good! I'm glad that you're alive. I'm glad that you've arrived. And I'm definitely glad that you're a glide. ❤

[@kevinomalley22]

They used to live down the street from a Hood Milk plant in Burlington Vermont. "Where do you go when the lights go out" refers to milk when it's put in the fridge, the light shuts off when you close the door. Mr. Miner was their landlord and they would receive mail in his name, Publishers Clearing House mail "thank you Mr. Miner".

"holy cow"... yah man that pretty much sums it up.. and this is only scratching the surface..

I saw DMB open for Phish in 1995 I'm pretty sure. Honestly DMB had a better show that night. I was pretty surprised they got outplayed. Phish's 1st set was very mediocre without a lot of punch. The second set they must have had a band meeting and they came out on fire with the best Simple I've ever heard. It's the one that's on A Live One. The rest of the second set was very good but DMB I felt just had a lot of momentum then and they just killed it that night.

The thing about Phish and every time they play a song is that they never play it the same way twice, unless the song doesn't have a jam and is strictly composed music from start to finish. But even then they might play with the effects on their instruments to give the song a new sound. So, when you mentioned that they've played this song so many times and Trey still gets giddy, it's because they haven't played that song the way they just did. Some versions are better than others and a lot of it is subjective. I've grown an attachment to songs that I've seen live that others may not enjoy as much as I do. My advice, go see Phish. Nothing beats being there. The experience of going to a Phish show is unlike any other concert experience. One of my favorite experiences was on June 15, 2011 where it hailed on us in the lot and they had to stop the show half way thru because of a crazy storm. But man, they come out swinging and gave us one hell of a set 2. I get goosebumps listening to that show! And check out Reba from Bader Field in New Jersey 2012.

[@chaseroberts116]

This is like a 6/7 on the Hood scale. Studio albums can help when it comes to knowing when they are going type-2 , or when they launch into an improv jam. Phish is the greatest live band there is. No 2 sets, let alone shows, are ever the same. You should deep dive live starting in the early 90s. As a 4 person band they produce an incredibly full sound. Trey is a composer, so the more they add the greater it can get. For an added bonus check out the Giant Country Horns shows, Trey with the symphonies, and most recently with Derek Trucks. Some of these versions become instant favorites.

I tell people who are new to Phish to listen to A Live One. Then listen to it again.

[@FlowerSupply420]

Last comment, sorry! Phish is different than Dave, in that their pointless lyrics, below average voices and less catchy songwriting makes them not nearly as "pleasant" to listen to, on the surface. Less accessible so to speak. And, to enjoy them requires more fully "surrendering to the flow" as us phans call it. The joy of Phish is fully allowing yourself to feel and absorb the energy and emotion of the jam. Even when it feels a little quirky, off key, out of place. Because if you're in it fully, when it quickly turns into something magical you'll really feel it. When you were closing your eyes, trying to fully feel that peak in this video, that's the sort of "attention" it takes to feel the Phish jam, vs a DMB jam which is a little more cohesive and accessible. And their jams span a wider spectrum--both emotionally and stylistically than DMB. There's more darkness, more disarray, and ultimately more elation, more psychedelia, and still the tenderness and sensitivity in their own nerdy way. You were spot on with Pink Floyd. It's like Floyd meets DMB meets a divine sound that's never before been explored by humanity.

I think the idea of listening to other versions of Hood is a must do at some point. You should hear differences between the eras - but I have favorite versions from early 90s, late 90s as well as versions much more recent. Other great songs to check out are chalkdust torture; Reba; down with disease; simple; fluffhead (this will blow your mind!!!!!) - if you want songs with less jamming try Cavern; Sample in a Jar; Character Zero.

There is no studio recording of Harry Hood. Several of their most popular songs were never released on a studio record. I would recommend listening to some studio songs as well as live performances. Rift, Horn, and Maze from the album, “Rift” are good examples. From the album “Billy Breathes”, Dave Matthews has called the song, Waste, his favorite song - and pretty much always has Trey play it with him on stage. From the same album, Free and Prince Caspian are a couple solid ones. You’ll do well to check out live versions of Run Like an Antelope, Tweezer, and Down With Disease

The first half of the song is entirely composed aside from flourishes until just after that spot you said you shouldn't have paused. They land back in the composed section just after you mention the difficulty in repetitive licks. It's generally identifiable even in the jam sections. Same lineup since 83, they had a rhythm guitarist for a minute before he was replaced by Page on keys. I can't imagine phish coming after any copyright nonsense, they make room for tapers to record their live shows.

[@williamherzog4784]

I believe your best intro to the band would be the Clifford Ball. The Clifford Ball was a festival the band put on in 1996 and it was a watershed moment for the band. The Clifford Ball show was a culmination of early Phish. So many songs could be considered to be definitive versions of those songs (although there is no such thing). However, if you prefer to start somewhere more recent, I would recommend the Baker's Dozen run at Madison Square Garden in summer 2017. But, in the end, my advice is to just go to a show. You will love it!

It’s gross but I use my mic to scratch my nose when I have to 😂

[@JohnRyan-uf4bp]

Reaction videos are lame, please stop watching them. Also Phish is awesome

[@williamhaden5960]

uh, any phish show after about 2000 is pretty unremarkable. Dig a little deeper, your mind will be blown far wider...

[@deepdivederek]

Fair enough. But serious question. Is your comment meant to discourage me from attending a live show? Any show I go to would be an unremarkable, post 2000 show, correct?

​​@@deepdivederekEvery period of Phish is incredible. I could list, without looking for help, probably a hundred jams right now post 2000 that are pure magic. The moment never ended. Surrender to the flow..
