Phish - 05.23.00 - Bug

[talpajam]

love sig riff at beginning of the tag section...a real beaut

[ShuguProductions]

this song reminds me of "Opium" by moe. has the same chord progression for the chorus. idk which came first

[GordosMama1111]

IT fest - wolfed a handfull of shrooms and heard the show start on the "bunny". ran a mile and a half..this song started just as we "settled in" yea. i left my body..was AWESOME. havent needed to trip since, either...everytime i hear this song now.. hehe love it!!

[Peekay1]

First Tube - nuff said

[ason81]

Used to hate this song in '99 ... just not what you want to see when you travel days and days for a few shows ... like it now though!

[Bizness88]

wonderful album-one of my favs....cant hate on farmhouse

[andy23822]

It doesn't matter..............

[dmonroe333]

let me clarify some other posts... you cant be a phish "fan". you can only be a phish phan. there is a difference whish needs to be respected

[mostirreverent]

The phrasing and forced rhyming is distracting if you listen to the words, otherwise I love this song.

and like wilco, I can't stand the 3-5X repetitions of a line in a chorus...

[standad445]

@mostirreverent you are the expert!!!!!!!!!!! go fuck yourself!!!!!!!!!

[unusuallyabby]

Farmhouse was the first phish album i owned and is still one i keep close

[dmtharpua]

beautiful, relaxed, phish

[nmetsy]

[YellowJullyfish]

[axwell21]

@laddy2020 Easy on the doses, brahhh

[spykiss72]

Best Bug..Ever!!

[TheUnknownTribe]

Fish drums the hell out of this one, but then again what doesn't he drum the hell out of?

[WoahRunawayJim]

i freaking love farmhouse, the album introduced me to Phish, my first album after hearing of Phish when Mike and Page played Page's solo stuff at the Simpsons movie premier in springfield vermont, Farmhouse is a very "Vermonty" album which is one of the reasons i love it.

[Ducatiboy73]

nice werk boyz!

PLEASE DO HALLOWEEN IN INDIO AGAIN!!!!

2010 =)

[TheLurchdaddy]

People hate on Farmhouse because the title track is garbage. Most of it is great though, I totally agree with that.

[ezekieloak]

I'm always impressed with Fishman's work.

[pcburgh01]

this is a great song! probably one their better "songs" if you catch my drift

[phishphreak247]

whos hatin on farmhouse ur forgetting PIPER !!!!!!!!!! Sand the whole CD is off the hook live FUCK the haters cant wait til teluride, deer crek, alpine, jones beach, wish i could go to the greek too but damit cant get that many days off alreay looking at over 2 weeks but but i think 8 shows will be a hell of a time

[ezekieloak]

@phishphreak247 Your lack of punctuation makes your comment ambiguous. Something like "The haters can´t wait ´till.."

-Can't they? Ok.

[phishphreak247]

whos hatin on farmhouse ur forgetting PIPER !!!!!!!!!! Sand the whole CD is off the hook live FUCK the haters cant wait til teluride, deer crek, alpine, jones beach, wish i could go to the greek too but damit cant get that many days off alreay looking at over 2 weeks but but i think 8 shows will be a hell of a time

[bchomka]

amazing song, was great at alpine this past summer

[zeppelinchild3]

@bchomka i was at alpine to where did you sit?

[bchomka]

@bchomka was at the front of the lawn on the left, gotta get that front 3 rows of the lawn up in wisconsin, only spot where your not on a straight up 45degree angle hill

[zeppelinchild3]

@bchomka yeah i was like 10 rows down in the chairs.. during the tour this year im going back and i have general admission each night though. but whatever its cheaper!

[ajbellis]

Yeah, I dont know why a lot of phans hate on Farmhouse. Sleep, Bug, Wales- these are beautiful songs. I think Tom's lyric's are incredible on this album.

[funkymeter411]

@ajbellis +1. sand and first tube are the heat too. wish they played them both more live, especially sand

[wholewheatbagel]

@ajbellis.. if by phans you mean PT...haters gon hate.

[YellowJullyfish]

@ajbellis Yeah, there's no Phish that I don't like!

[feverlead]

@ajbellis i agree and im a phish fan

[dmonroe333]

@feverlead If you were a true phish phan you would have spelt it p-h-a-n

[dmonroe333]

@feverlead you meant to say youre a phish phan

[feverlead]

@ajbellis the truth is their not fans at all they dont really care for phish

[BADPHISH27]

@ajbellis how bout Sand, Twist, Jibbo, Back on the Train, Heavy Things, Piper, First Tube, Driver, Dirt....lol i probobly just listed all the songs you didnt but thats a hell of a second set right there!

[ajbellis]

@BADPHISH27 they're all good, I was just giving examples.

[Hunsanity]

@ajbellis because miserable people need somethign to be miserable about..

[sk8er4ever0101]

No hate on it apparently :D

[permanentvacation6]

Farmhouse is such an amazing album

[james9911]

3:26 I kno i'd be dancing too

[Rome012]

im going to charlettesville tonight. i hope they play this, i think ill cry if they do. such a beautiful song

[rayboy1488]

weird seeing trey and mike in different positions on the stage

[safetymonkey42]

It DOESN'T matter

[ipal80]

what a rockstar!

[ipal80]

gordon looks like he could stand in at a supertramp show

[jackedup82]

there've been times when l wonder

and times when l don't

[StBeasty1]

the rain, wiiind on the runnway

[MarcoEsquand0las]

i just watched this cuz it's silverchair's thumbnail pic

[ccol16]

awesome..it doesn't matter

[ctccj]

beautiful

[bikehelmet]

very great, now don't think or even imagine saying pissy stupid shit about each other could change what just happened here. This song simply rocks and no contempt for each other could make Mike the jewish lad from BOston seem like he isn't playing to a staring musician.

[logan3088]

CACTUS!!!

[marloweowsley]

well... yeah. he is from Jewton MA

[schrumpfl]

the bass player looks super jewish here-nice

[crustyundies123]

you sound like a nazi fuckwad....douchebag

[aptrosto]

whats your deal crusty... schrump sounds like a jewish name and he's from FL...

it doesnt matter to me

[Neonyxia]

His name is Mike. Buzz off.

[frymane652]

@Neonyxia TREY ANASTASIO IS THE SINGER AND LYRICAL WRITER FOR PHISH, NOT MIKE GORDON



[MikeyRed76]

@frymane652 Really? Trey and Mike sing. They both write lyrics from time to time, but Tom Marshall writes most of their lyrics. Easy on the caps there, bud. MIke's written some of my favorite tunes. "Weigh," "Contact," "Mound"

[Vinsanity15814]

@frymane652 yes trey is the primary songwriter, along with mr tom marshall, but they all sing and write dude. mike songs are classics too you should know this

[Spiritzground]

guys who commented on this post... i dont think

schrumpfl really meant harm.  tho if he did then he is a dickfuck.

[matt09832]

dudes sparking up at 5:57 lol

[phishimiss]

didn't get tix for Hampton either dissapointed was there last time after MSG for new yrs! well got Knoxville,Star lake and Aplpine Valley!! Hope everyone has a safe summer!

[KyndestKid]

Amazing Show... I was there!!!

Boogie on...

[patchworkpork]

[hippietrucker67]

there've been times when i wander...and times when i don't...sitting here having a small cry, listening...didn't get tix for virginia...nothing i see can be taken from me...it doesn't matter...shit...

[chunkybutt420]

i didnt get tixs either....... keep ur eyes open for summer tour :P

[hippietrucker67]

true, true...rumor is phish will be playing 2 shows at boonaroo as well...

[KyndestKid]

I got screwed in the lottery and didn't get tickets for Hampton.... so we're in the same boat. :( Hopefully they come back to Deer Creek where I live nearby!! C-ya down the road phriend.

Boogie on...

[hippietrucker67]

looks like i'll see ya in deer creek this summer...oh, man, i am so psyched!

[phishman706]

yeahhhhh deer creek! got 4 tickets to that shows

soo jacked!

[Emericaman132]

gratz, im goin to Aug. 11 in chicago

[sneakonproductionz]

I remember this was on the the short lived vh1live show and they did a special 1 hr episode, which means there is sick footage of at least a set out there

[phuture5]

Don't need it, don't feed it, thoughts faded, over-rated

^ correct

[MsThings]

yup of the six times I have seen this song live this was time that had really gave it some meaning for absolute meaning for me.

I had a couple in front of me that just could not tolerate my sing-a-long & shouting. To make matters worse, I was to the back right of the venue where the ceiling suddenly drops and makes it difficult for one to hear. LOL.

I believe this story is the reason for The Comeback BUG of 2/15/03 which was TOTHETOP.

phans, it REALLY doesn't matter. ;)

[nugstoker]

Mike is singing backup, listen to a more recent version of this song- say 03 or so.. It is easier to hear what he says, but here it is: Dont need it, dont need it, thoughts fated, overrated..

there you have it..

[stewart591]

when trey is singing "it doesnt matter" what is mike singing?

[aaronmysterio]

Don't need it, don't feed it, thoughts faded, over-rated

[paulinnc]

This is from the VH1 show I believe. I remember comng home after the Atlanta shows and seeing this on TV.

[rjohnston1128]

i think the real fans were stuck outside for this show.

[jakem11]

What do you mean by that?

[taylor410ce]

i used to be friends with a guy that could play this song on piano and guitar, than he got really into god and quit doing drugs, now i can't get him to playing anything but chirstan music. it makes me mad to think that he can't lissen to Phish without thinking about drungs.

[taylor410ce]

sorry that last word is spelled "drugs"

[beedubs03]

sounds like Jeff Holdsworth

[taylor410ce]

his first name was jon.

[beedubs03]

Actually, it was Jeff.

[taylor410ce]

no i am talking about someone else named jon. sorry for the misunderstanding we had there.

[J0hnnyTsun4m1]

i wonder where phish would be if jeff hadnt gone with the whole God thing

[emailwiz2]

who's jeff holdsworth??

[J0hnnyTsun4m1]

phish's first lead guitarist, when try played rhythm back in college.

they had a couple bands befor phish really kicked off but jeff turned super religious and left the band

[hockeychamp1615]

i thought Jeff was on rhythm guitar..

[J0hnnyTsun4m1]

maybe, i dont quite remember. i read it in the phish book

[knathanstein]

i just finished the phish book, good book
