The song that hooked me on Phish. I listened to it for weeks in 1994 on my Tucson desert drive through the mountain gap to work.

did the aliens build the pyramids tom? if so which aliens

Wow wouldn't have noticed the overdub if you didn't mention it. So jazzy sounding, can notice how much the song has been slowed down from it's original  version.

Come Spring

This song was written by Trey and myself, and eventually released by Phish on Undermind.  But long before that, I released it featuring singing by a great band called The Saras.  Check it out -- it also features a COMPLETE set of lyrics (AHEM Trey!...somehow a verse was overlooked by Phish!)

Nothing

From my band's Amfibian album with the same name, here's Skip the Goodbyes featuring Trey on guitar!

Skip the Goodbyes

Mike and Trey in the studio create an awesome version of a song that Trey and I wrote a long time ago...this came out on an unofficial leaked project called "Flotsam Five" -- this wasn't a Phish release or anything, and no one knows anything about it -- but it had a compilation of interesting songs.

Backwards Food For Backwards Folks

The ORIGINAL "I am Hydrogen". Me on keys, Marc Daubert on acoustic and Trey on his Ibanez...and a Fender amp I think.Recorded on a stereo recording Walkman (cassette). In this configuration we called the band Bivouac.I think in 1984


I Am Hydrogen

This song, "Silent in the Morning" was eventually released on Rift, and split into two songs: Horse and Silent in the Morning, for some reason I never was made aware of.Anyway -- this is the very first version, and it was recorded in late 1991 in my house in Princeton NJ on a Fostex 4-Track cassette machine in my "studio" -- a room that would be eventually occupied by my (then nonexistent) daughter.  Trey's on acoustic.  Singing along with Trey and myself are Marc Daubert, and our late good friend Amanda Lake.


Silent in the Morning

Sometime in late 1992 I handed Trey these lyrics inspired by the rhythm of the song Pocahontas by Neil Young.  Trey wrote this one completely by himself soon thereafter in his home studio in Vermont, and the first time I heard it was over the phone and we both flipped out over how cool it was.  Trey's interesting overdubbed solo carried through to the studio version as well to my delight.  Phish started playing it in early 1993 when it came out on Rift.  One of my live favorites, I always think back to this first version when I hear it...

Scott Herman and Tebo inflict severe Q&amp;A upon Tom. Scott, for those unaware, has 18 or more Phish songwriting credits to his name. Also: the REAL *Helping Friendly Book* is revealed.

For our Season-ending episode I am joined by the founder of Jambase.com -- Andy Gadiel ushered Phish and fans into the internet age with one of the very first band websites on the World Wide Web.
