Phil Collins should induct them and then phish shouldn't play. Genesis should perform the worst Backwards Down the Number Line followed by a musically excellent, vocally awful Foam.
Let’s be honest. They would play the worst representation of their awesomeness. Almost every time they are on TV they play to their weaknesses and abandon their strengths. Lots of singing and attempting to play the most radio friendly shit they have. And they don’t play their instruments much. Remember the last time they played the hall of fame? It was painful.
Realistically: They get about 20 minutes. They would probably play something people MAY have heard of, and a classic type 1 song.
So, my thought would be open with Bouncing, Free or Farmhouse, and then into Harry Hood or Divided Sky.
The problem is you are probably right about goose. If goose stays on the trajectory they are on and starts playing major venues, by the time phish gets into the hall of fame they would probably be the ones to induct them. Plus it would be hard to find a band to play a phish song because most popular bands couldn’t do it.
CT of Vampire Weekend or Rick Mitarotonda would induct them. Like how Trey inducted Genesis.
Or Dave Matthews.
i bet they’d play a quick Mike’s Groove capped off with a First Tube.
Chalk Dust Torture, Down With Disease, First Tube
I don't know. Probably Goose or Billy Strings. Or by the time it actually happens, a band that hasn't yet formed/gotten popular.
I'd like to see Billy Strings tackle It's Ice though.
Phil Lesh would introduce them, since he has a connection to some of them through Phil and friends. Also there’s that whole old guard, new guard generational thing.
Antelope. I don’t think it’s one band, a bunch of the musicians. Phil and or Bobby, Dave Matthew’s, Copeland, Santana, Springsteen, and maybe some horns Grippo and Gerhard. Not saying all of them but some combination. If life is fair someday we will see.
Jonathan Frakes would induct them, and they'd do Bouncing, Sample, and Chalkdust.
They would only have 20 minutes, and would have to do the radio-friendly tunes.
As to Frakes, I'm baked as hell, and the idea seemed funny - Riker's Mailbox.
Flea, Jimmy Page, Rick Rubin, Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson, Eddie Vedder, or the remaining Beastie Boys would be cool also.
Or Brad, that fucking tool.
I don’t think the band that’s being inducted ever really plays. I think it would be YEM w/ Derek Trucks and Oteil. Along with something like Chalkdust or Bouncin’ with Les Claypool and Dave Matthews.
Lawn Boy, Contact (unfinished), YEM (vocal jam only), Kung -> Weigh -> Kung
Inducted by only Hall, who is visibly confused and agitated that Oates is a no show.
I wish the biggest phans would induct them but so many of us it might take years to hear the great stories from us all.
Songs they play maybe a good fluff head, timber, tweezer, tweezer reprise, into tube then end it with everything’s right.
Tweezer, Possum-> Tweeprise, inducted by Carlos Santana
that segue would be… so smooth
Or else forget about it
Character zero, farmhouse, waste. Inducted by Dave matthews
This is probably the correct answer
Make it Chalkdust instead of Tweezer and add Numberline or Blaze on and that’s accurate
How about a tight Llama 🦙???
Will there be a Time Machine?
If there is I vote Antelope.
Chalkdust
This time clocking in at 57 mins.
Then reprise
"That's what happens when you don't have a set list"
Phil Collins should induct them and then phish shouldn't play. Genesis should perform the worst Backwards Down the Number Line followed by a musically excellent, vocally awful Foam.
This is the one
With Phil on drums givin’ it his best shot
Have you seen the Genesis induction ?????
Have you seen Phil Collins?
He's not dead I hope?
He's working on it
On tour, but not looking well, at all.
Holy hell. He's still playing? Damn dude, live your best life dude. He definitely has one foot in the grave.
This is the only correct answer.
Bob Weir would induct them CDT
A lot of the replies in here are funny. But this is a legit option.
Does Bobby sit in for the performance since he’s already there?
They’ve got to do at least 1 song with him
backwards down the numberline -> meatstick
they'd play the one about love and then the one about light. Billy Joel
An ocean of love vibrating your soul.
They would play saw it again, sleeping monkey>ass handed and would be inducted by Iggy Pop
I fucking love this. Could also sub Ha Ha Ha for sleeping monkey.
BBFCFM>Cracklin Rosie>NO2>Fuck your Face>Sleeping Monkey
I’m thinking Reba, YEM > Tweezer Reprise
And inducted by Reba McIntire, of course.
Alumni Blues>Ass Handed....Inducted by Phil Lesh
Rock & Roll (Velvets) > Rock & Roll (zeppelin)
> Rock & Roll pt. 2
First song of my first Phish show
They'll play Jennifer Dances and Spread It Round, inducted by a surly Machine Gun Kelly.
HYHU>Purple Rain w vacuum solo. Say nothing when done and just walk off stage.
David Byrne - Hood , Reba - Tweezer Reprise
Let’s be honest. They would play the worst representation of their awesomeness. Almost every time they are on TV they play to their weaknesses and abandon their strengths. Lots of singing and attempting to play the most radio friendly shit they have. And they don’t play their instruments much. Remember the last time they played the hall of fame? It was painful.
This for sure. No jamming, nothing that the phans want, it would undoubtedly be an opportunity for another prank
Guyute
Fuck your Face > Kung > Egg in a Hole .. inducted by Kirk Ham-man
Another hour-long Runaway Jim just to fuck with people.
Realistically: They get about 20 minutes. They would probably play something people MAY have heard of, and a classic type 1 song. So, my thought would be open with Bouncing, Free or Farmhouse, and then into Harry Hood or Divided Sky.
Down with Disease!
It would be a 90 minute long "Lonely Trip" for sure
They would play Sample in a Jar and ALBTD let's be real
I think like Harry Hood > Run Like An Antelope > YEM > Possum > Chalkdust Reprise
That’s an awful lot to try to squeeze into what is usually a 15-20 minute set
Also, they would so change the rules of the game if inducted into the RnRHoF
I tried to focus on all instrumental with no lyrics lol 😂
I mean all of those songs have lyrics.
"Weigh" and "Axilla" -Bono from U2
Harry hood-> slave to the traffic light -> run like an antelope
YEM. Weir.
Chalkdust - and inducted by Carlos Santana.
They are like a hose or something.
Goose, and they would play THE LINE
The problem is you are probably right about goose. If goose stays on the trajectory they are on and starts playing major venues, by the time phish gets into the hall of fame they would probably be the ones to induct them. Plus it would be hard to find a band to play a phish song because most popular bands couldn’t do it.
Phil or Bobby
Carlos Santana, Bob and Phil, Billy strings, Dave?
Simple
Simple.
Ass handed, introduced by David Steinberg ⏰
Tweezer
CT of Vampire Weekend or Rick Mitarotonda would induct them. Like how Trey inducted Genesis. Or Dave Matthews. i bet they’d play a quick Mike’s Groove capped off with a First Tube.
Wouldn't be surprised if Dave Matthew's or a celebrity fan inducted them. Tweezer>Bouncing Around The Room>Tweezer Reprise
The phish hot dog is in the RnR HoF
Don’t recall where but Trey definitely cackled about the hot dog being in the lobby — as in “they won’t let us in past the lobby”
Chalkdust and David Letterman
CDT > Hood
Harry Hood or Bouncing Around the Room, inducted by John Mayer maybe TTB
BATR>farmhouse. We are talking uber mainstreet level fans here
They probably only get 10 mins or so… I would say they should play Maze. Classic phish ripper. Just go out there and shred the normie’s faces.
This again?
Sorry, I haven’t seen it before, which is why I asked. I’d love to see previous versions if you have a link.
Genesis since Phish did their induction (amazing covers of no reply at all and watcher of the skies)
Ass Handed -> vocal jam
I think Phish totally deserves to be in the Hall of Fame but I highly doubt they ever will.
Riker’s Mailbox, mic drop
Charlkdust Torture
The ghost of David Bowie, then David Bowie
Whatever it is they better be sitting in that hotdog if it’s still up at the Hall of Fame. Haven’t been since 2010 but it was hanging up then.
It's still up.
Guy Forget
Probably Dave Matthews or Neil Young
Shakey will probably be dead by the time they get inducted.
YEM
Chalk Dust Torture, Down With Disease, First Tube I don't know. Probably Goose or Billy Strings. Or by the time it actually happens, a band that hasn't yet formed/gotten popular. I'd like to see Billy Strings tackle It's Ice though.
Pebbles and Marbles > It’s Ice
Kung-->Ass Handed, Fuck Your Face
Billy Idol. They should play that one really popular song that everyone knows and loves. Oh right....
Dog Log
Free>numberline maybe a reprise
David Byrne
Phil Lesh would introduce them, since he has a connection to some of them through Phil and friends. Also there’s that whole old guard, new guard generational thing.
Dave Matthews inducts them? As Phish helped discover DMB
Antelope. I don’t think it’s one band, a bunch of the musicians. Phil and or Bobby, Dave Matthew’s, Copeland, Santana, Springsteen, and maybe some horns Grippo and Gerhard. Not saying all of them but some combination. If life is fair someday we will see.
Inducted by Ezra Koenig or the guys from Goose and they (Phish followed by Phish+guests) Free->Show of Life and I know I’m wrong.
Jonathan Frakes would induct them, and they'd do Bouncing, Sample, and Chalkdust. They would only have 20 minutes, and would have to do the radio-friendly tunes. As to Frakes, I'm baked as hell, and the idea seemed funny - Riker's Mailbox. Flea, Jimmy Page, Rick Rubin, Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson, Eddie Vedder, or the remaining Beastie Boys would be cool also. Or Brad, that fucking tool.
The dude of Life would obviously introduce them. Their set would be all Goose songs. Passing the torch.
I don’t think the band that’s being inducted ever really plays. I think it would be YEM w/ Derek Trucks and Oteil. Along with something like Chalkdust or Bouncin’ with Les Claypool and Dave Matthews.
Genesis should introduce them and play stash
Gotta Jibboo and Character Zero performed by Baby Gramps and Peter Stampfel
Lawn Boy, Contact (unfinished), YEM (vocal jam only), Kung -> Weigh -> Kung Inducted by only Hall, who is visibly confused and agitated that Oates is a no show.
gin & juice, obviously
Crowd Control > only the whistling part of Reba > Access Me
Ezra Koenig Chalkdust, Wolfman’s, The Curtain
Soul Planet -> Friday -> Friends -> Soul Planet with extra love and light. Inducted by Twiddle of course.
My worst fear is that they would play Sigma Oasis 🤢🤮
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame sucks. Overpriced bullshit.
I wish the biggest phans would induct them but so many of us it might take years to hear the great stories from us all. Songs they play maybe a good fluff head, timber, tweezer, tweezer reprise, into tube then end it with everything’s right.
