GottaJibboo Thanks for all your hard work!

I'll be honest it took me a few reads to really understand the difference between tiers and other defining factors that went into the final list. Nonetheless, a great read.

I'll echo previous comments made and ask how Reba or Down With Disease failed to make the cut, despite both being on the list for number of unique versions. With respect to the latter, there are too many HOF worthy versions to single out the one DWD which should be on the list.

As a huge Reba fan, I am very partial to 8/16/93 and believe this version should be somewhere in the HOF, if not top 10. 7/6/94 is a great version, but personally I think 8/16/93 is the better of the two.

I have issues with the Tahoe Tweezer being #1. I love it, I really really do! But I also love the 12/16/99 Tweezer, the 2/28/03 Tweezer (which made Tier 2), the 11/17/97 Tweezer, and many many more. They may not be as long as the Tahoe version or have as many sections, but longevity does not equate to superior. Don't get me wrong, I do think it deserves a place in the HOF. But I wouldn't put it in the top 10, let alone #1.

The one jam I'm most shocked which not only failed to make the list, but failed to make the lists of those made public in the earlier post: 6/29/00 Drowned. Maybe because its more of a segue into RnR? Either way I think its a travesty for this jam to miss the radar of so many fans.

Finally, I wonder if Vocal Jams can be ranked or included in the HOF? I guess these would have to be attached to the song they were born from (YEM, Sneakin' Sally, etc.), but think this is a great topic for one of the next of many Phish lists.

In summary: 8/16/93 Reba, at least one DWD, and 6/29/00 Drowned need to be in the HOF.
