Phish: Harry Hood 12.31.93

Absolute sonic bliss, and the best 'Hood' of all time?
Everyone has their favorite version for one reason or another, but without a doubt this gem is always toward the top of the list.
I couldn't find a good place to stream the tune online, so I threw it up here with a few simple pictures. Hope you enjoy.
'You can feel good. Good. Good about Hood'

I was there! Just bragging. I was hassled by a Mass. state trooper after the show for holding a beer in public. He ordered me to pour it out, while 1000 others around me were also holding a beer. I gleefully wished him a happy new year while pouring it out, and retreated to my hotel room where a cooler full of beer was waiting for us. Among other things ;)

[@jonathanrollins2470]

I still get a kick out of the documentary when Trey rags on The Band hanging it up after 13 years because the road was "too much for them." 35 years later and we are not only getting constant touring but also decent new music from the boys. Glad I wont't have to say I missed out on this band like I missed out on the Dead (mainly b/c i was in 8th grade in '95...)

[@Kingfish179]

If it wasn't for Trey Anastasio, this sound would not exist. What a beautifully sublime, otherworldly solo. You know you've encountered a creative genius when you forget that it's just four guys playing in a rock band. I believe this is the soundtrack that plays while you're slowly ascending into heaven.

[@ecp6490]

And Fish. Can't forget the most unique, special, supremely talented, music, fluid, octopussy drummer ever/namesake of the band.

[@davidmccullough653]

This is a very good hood. Any other suggestions? Years ago when Napster was a thing and it was just brand new there was a version labeled “dankest Harry hood ever” and it really was the “dankest” version I’ve ever heard. To this day I haven’t heard that hood again or been able to figure out what the data was. I think it was in the 94-96 range, I’m leaning 96. Anyone old enough to remember bootlegging everything on Napster and remember that label? Any other hoods that are unarguably In the top 4 or 5 of all time? I think if I got a list of top hoods of all time that I’d figure it out. It had the greatest peak of any hood I’ve ever heard. Trey shreds this more but I remember that hood being just absolutely beautiful and the build up and peak blending perfectly.

Everytime I check in and listen to to this, it consistently is moving, in a way that is difficult to put in to words. It was tough to explain back then, when I was 17, as it is now when I'm 44, but it is the coolest F*ing thing there is. And I'm really happy to hear that it moves you to tears Everytime, because that seems about right my man. Yea, that seems about right. God, is there anything better than Phish back at this time? Nope. Next question.

Holy hell, this absolutely floored me. One of the most beautiful things I have ever heard. This should legitimately be in the conversation for greatest guitar solo of all time and to think, it's freaking improvised! Somehow underrated, Trey should be consensus all time Top 5 guitarist. I've been writing a Phish blog to curate some of their best work and have literally listened to hundreds of the greatest Phish jams over the last couple weeks and nothing hit me like this. I'm sure I've heard this one before, but not with the better ear for music I have now and not with my new good headphones. After so many years this band can still astonish you.

[@epoclaen]

I've been looking for this version of Hood on and off for a while and this is it! I heard this version at the Spectrum sometime in the early 90's and the genius was how they take you on a journey from the "hook" chord stanza through a gradually progressing instrumental. Ten minutes later you're wondering, "wait - what song are we even listening to again?" and that's right when they bring back in hints of the key chords that remind you and finally they launch fully back into it and close it out.

Lynn Demma in his defense that '99 Hampton Hood is truly exceptional and easily top 5! Go listen! This '93 one is dirty and raw; the mr. minor section wants to rip off my speakers :) love it. But its really all about Trey's incredible guitar work. Notes get a little flat and whiny around 8 min but its definitely the most impressive climax Hood from a guitar standpoint. probably my all time phave but In no particular order, 12/18/99, 7/1/95, 11/14/94/, 11/22/97 are all sensational. 11/22/97 Is also the greatest Antelope ever IMO
