i don't think anyone would argue that Round Room is Phish's magnum opus, but there are a lot of GREAT fan-beloved songs on that disc that have barely been touched at all in the past four years.

Totally agree. I can't stand listening to Round Room (and I like Phish studio albums) it's so poorly recorded but the live versions of songs like "Pebbles and Marbles", "Anything But Me" (for the ballad slot), "Seven Below", "Mexican Cousin", "Walls of the Cave" and "Waves" are terrific IMHO and should be played more often, they offer plenty of scope for jamming; only "46 Days" gets played even semi-regularly. When they *are* busted out, they're underehearsed and don't have the same impact as in 2003/04.

As for Undermind, "Scents and Subtle Sounds" (both parts), "A Song I Heard the Ocean Sing", "Army of One", "Crowd Control" and "Access Me" should be in the rotation I think.

Maybe those songs bring up bad memories for Trey, being the Oxy years and all, but I would hope that the quality of the songs would win out. I loved hearing Scents and Subtle Sounds during the S show in Denver in 2011.
I agree with most everything that you said. Both albums have some incredible tunes on them.

I have read a lot of people say bad things about "Friday" but I actually really like the tune.
