An alternate history where Bug is presented as their single instead of Farmhouse is an interesting one. Either way, happy to see Bug get the nod as a truly great Phish song.
Vultures is such an underrated song. It has also been nice to see Bug come back out recently (both of my kids love this song), and Carini has continued to evolve. The 10/13/23 version of Carini that opened the United Center run last fall is a top notch jam with new types of guitar phrasing from Trey. So fun to track the evolution from moments like this in 1999. Great write up.

Thanks for the memory-jog on Trampled… you think “Blue & Shiny” will ever see the light of day?
