Phish - 04.02.98 - Sneakin' Sally Through The Alley

Island Tour '98

[@AS_caterpillars]

they were INVINCIBLE during the island tour

[@PhactorPhiction]

Your right. These type of electric transitions arewhat I miss most. This version reminds me of hanging out with my olds friends smoking pot and listening to an array of phish boot leg tapes

[@dnlespy]

one of my favorites for island tour....actually scratch that, the island tour is my favorite, period

[@endomedia9907]

14 years old 92 The Springfield music hall was my first show, grew up in Vt suckas

[@dnightfox]

sweet. They were jamming for these shows. Very clean.

[@endomedia9907]

If you weren't there you have no idea! 98 oh my god Sally. I remember it like it was yesterday; funcked out 98 this island tour was epic. I snuck into one night in Rhode Island went stealth invisible man and got into the stadium. The bomb, 15 thumbs down that's messed up.

[@HarryHood96]

I agree with your humble opinion. Toussaint is brilliant, and Palmer rocked this great song. So does Phish, during other, more upbeat performances on live recordings I've heard.

[@notmefuckingname]

how could anyone dislike this

[@revatman]

@bejaconow haha. okay. did not know that. now I'll have to go find that version.

[@erjajobev33]

the`re fu(n)cking great!!

[@olekingcole37]

Best living band that is not together! Probably best living american rock band during their reign. At the very least, at this very pt. Lol.

[@dudes420]

ahhh yeesss if i cant find something new with my timmeee.... so goood

[@backwoods518]

do they do the Mind Left Body jam for the segue into Frankie Says?

[@ericauld1]

Amazing

[@Luke139]

11 people like widespread panic.

[@ChrisMcGuire634]

@achmood21 HA! He does.... He is from Fort Worth TX

[@HarpuaND84]

Sick transition into this from Wolfman's.

[@mattjm82]

@UglyToontown I think Phish does put their own style into their covers that clearly separate them from the original but with good taste. Frankenstein/ Peaches might be the only ones I can think of that are almost note for note...then again they are instrumentals. Loving Cup, Boogie On, WMGGW, all have a Phish vibe to them that is different than the original. None the less it's all good...even the Palmer version, which I like because you once in a great while hear it on the radio.

[@PTJams]

It's all about the tees! LALFA :Thinks about Charlotte show: Hmm. Must give band cool tees the night before every show for PH ST12.

[@dbell10]

phish is like wine and cheese

[@pranky4]

@bejaconow actually he didnt 'do it first' he wrote it for Robert Palmer for the title album sso technically Robert did it first.

[@scottasin]

goodness that was a slick segue. why don't they do it like that anymore?

[@theclarkey100]

@jds122567 yup, too slow & muddy for me too but pretty good vocals ...just rehearsing an acoustic version, for performing live tomorrow, and can't find a key where I can do it justice! 'course you can't beat robert palmer's version

[@bejaconow]

it's an Allen Toussant song, so he did it first, for your info.

[@smn9ac]

Well, i did say "in my opinion". The recent tour has shown all four of them on top of their game, especially the way they sync together on jams. I would suggest you go back and listen to Sneakin and the Gorge Jam with an open mind.

[@vettefever67]

@mikee1mollisch please post a video of your better rendition.

[@canadianroot]

huh? oh yeah, pot. i almost forgot. in my day, i think i dropped more between the sofa than most dudes smoked in their long and illustrious careers as full-time bona-fide potheads.

[@jbdfc]

@mikee1mollisch they do this a whole lot better now bro

[@itsallHOOD518]

excuse me while i break into this phunky dance

[@suttschenkoo]

WHAT!!!!! That was the WEAKEST version! Anything from '97 or '98 kills ANY other versions!

[@smn9ac]

I agree, that was the first thing that hit me; too slow. The Gorge from this year, is by far the best version of this song (in my opinion).

[@tennesseevol]

RAGEFACE

[@revatman]

lee dorsey did it first. to you robert palmer fans..

[@AGOPIMOU1]

well opinions are like assholes, everybody has one. Oh and btw, I am not a jew and if I were jewish, I certainly wouldn't care what you thought! jUST SAYIN

[@AGOPIMOU1]

Decent cover but a bit too slow for my liking. Robert Palmer owned this song totally.

[@pranky4]

god damn this sucks, actually i have stopped liking phish all together now

[@st4155]

This joint is too slow. I rate it a 2. Stick to the original.

[@MrShakedown1972]

soul-less.... not good.

[@UglyToontown]

@mattjm82 yes of course i agree with the fact that they put their vibe on the covers they do, i'm just saying if you listen to the pre-jam parts of most of their covers, it's pretty much part for part in the same key/tempo/phrasing..etc. GTBT, Old Home Place, ADITL, Rock and Roll, etc. they do have a phish spin, but not as much as say Cities, Roses Are Free, and 2001.

[@UglyToontown]

the lee dorsey version is completely different than the robert palmer version so i can't see how anyone could effectively argue for one over the other. joe cocker did the same thing with beatles songs. is anyone really going to say that he did it better than the fucking beatles? no, but they're allowed to like it better. and for anyone saying phish is trying to outdo robert palmer, you obviously don't know phish and their catalog of covers. they hardly ever try to make them their own.
