    What was the first Phish song that you remember hearing? And where did you hear it from?

    I heard Bouncing Around the Room back in... February, from George. I haaaaaaated it and just detested Phish because of that. (haha I'm so open to new things :rolleyes: )

    Then he sent me some stuff in May... I think it was Sample in a Jar and Waste... I just about lost my mind and have been frickin hooked ever since...

    Ironically, Bouncing Around the Room is my favourite song to listen to at the moment.. :rolleyes:

    95. My sweetie had an awesome cassette collection.
    I managed a show in 95 in a 3000 seat room which was technically brilliant but emotionally flat.
    Jerry died two months earlier and the scene had not adjusted.
    We had a cat named Possum, because she was so ugly she looked like roadkill and the song had been in my brain for a while.
    We caught far more Panic and a few years later has this cassette labeled "srting cheese" (sic) forced into our hands.
    now we just love catching new scenes.

    I was about four... my uncle was always playing guitar, smoking weed, trying to become a cartoonist, while going to UNC in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. He was a big head and I think the first song I ever heard was probably Reba? I don't even remember. He was always carrying around a walkman and getting me to dance/sing to it. He died of heart failure at 40, last year. My first phish show was with him and I went with him when I got older to a string of six shows, in a row. That was probably one of the greatest times of my life.

    I first heard a cover of "waste" consisting of a guitar, vocals, and a piano... no bass, no drums... and I felt so attracted to the song that it got stuck in my head for days afterwards. About a month and a half later, I bought Billy Breathes; lo and behold, track three was that very same song. Technically, "Free" was my phirst, but "Waste" hooked me way before.

    It was christmas of 98 that I got Story of the Ghost, so I guess Ghost would be my first phish song. I listened to it a bit but didn't really appreciate the album (I just listened to what was on the radio back then, no real idea of musical taste) but later on I came back to it and loved it. Then years later I found out that Phish had a huge following behind it and was some kind of musical phenomenon.

    Last summer a friend of mine was ranting about Phish on AIM. At the time I had only heard a few songs (cant remember which ones) and didnt think too much of Phish so I downloaded some songs off of limewire, the phirst song done downloading was Super Mario Brothers, thats when I got hooked.

    down with disease was the first one I heard, it was on beavis and butthead way back in 94-95...... I didnt even know what the name of the band was back then, though..... first time I consciously listened to a phish song, it was boucing around the room, and I was hooked ever since. I downloaded it off napster in '99-'00, somewhere in there...
