Mr. Piraino, if you're reading this thank you for making this the first full length Phish song I ever heard. You put it as the first song on the mix CD you made for me in 9th grade homeroom. The music you played each morning when I sat in front of your desk quietly was the #1 reason for me going to that new high school, and it even got me perfect attendance in 9th grade because I always was curious to see what you would play. It was the only cure to my anxiety. I've been searching for the date of this version for 13 years because I was always to timid to ask back then. The mellow intro always made me think that it was an opener, that of which I was wrong and made the journey that much longer, but for the better. You changed my life for the best and it keeps improving thanks to you and this life changing music. Thank you Mr. P! PS, yes I'm still taking care of my shoes.

Great story. You were lucky to have that guy as your teacher indeed

[@Trey7105]

This is one of my top 5 favorite versions. Stupid dope Crosseyed teases and the best 2001 ever played at MSG.

[@minniefluffmeowsington151]

Thanks for posting this! This is in the conversation for best version of 2001 / Also Sprach Zarathustra. The best intro for sure.

[@georgetebbens3524]

Deodato. John Tropea on guitar. Phenomenal.

[@georgetebbens3524]

8 bar homage to Talking Heads' Cross Eyed and Painless ("She's Still Moving") during the intro. "The island of doubt. It's like the taste of medicine."

[@ckremlick2202]

This feller on the drums is alright!

[@disgracedkeg7838]

Awesome

When Mike's throwing down meatballs at 8 minutes in you know things are going well

[@hicks78]

Epic 2001...truly did think I was Jesus at the 98 show in Houston during this tune, it’s etched upon my DNA 🧬

[@Trey7105]

I exactly the meatballs you're talkin about!

[@wizzlemane7308]

So good

[@hicks78]

5:30 Fish mounts up 🐎

[@hicks78]

It only really gets out there after 12:00 🥳

[@markborzillo1761]

Holy Moly you're right, after 12 min it's get down time. That is funk with a Capital F baby.

[@araujofilho4538]

@@markborzillo1761 You are RIGHT. That is realy Funk. It's Richard Strauss Also sprach Zarathustra but based on a version of EUMIR DEODATO 1973 album that sold millions of copies and gave the brazilian Deodato a GRAMMY. Please listen to his tune. It's really FUNK 49 years ago.

[@jakewankel]

Kick ass version man. Thanks!

[@rossslucher1609]
