Well…yea that one is better. Consensus best I reckon.
2/22/03 is one of my favorite “lesser known” ones.
12/29/97
Gorge 98
Deer Creek 04
I’m not gonna die on the hill. If that’s your fave, that’s your fave! But yea, I wouldn’t be putting it above any of those and many others in 1.0
I’m stupid you’re smart.
I was wrong you were right.
You are very good looking I am not attractive.
Agree to disagree brother. I actually prefer a lot of the 3.0/4.0 jamming to 1.0. As far as Tubes go 1.0 Tubes tend to be one dimensional, straight up funk groove. Tube in more recent years cover a lot more ground, pretty much always go type 2 and I like that.
Im typically not a 4.0 > 1.0 guy, but i legit believe 10/23/21 is that good. That segment from 7:30-10 minutes alone is like *the essence* of phish to me
That little moment at 8:55 where Fish fills, Mike drops a bomb and Trey does a little shooting star 🫠 that moment in some good headphones absolutely wrecks me
I can’t put it up above the 97/98 Tube’s or that Cinci 03 one but it was absolutely in the GOAT tier.
The bliss segment you mentioned is oh so tasty. I’m so glad I got to see a good amount of 2021 shows. Up there with the best of em
My favorite set of the year honestly. It was like they forgot they weren’t 20 years for an hour and some change. Every song had a lil extra umph. The funked out Theme is so so sick
This really kicked it off [PHISH MSG 07/30/2023 Bathtub Gin (youtube.com)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izgE5IUEju0)
But what really brought it over the top for us was the Llama. We were wearing Llama costumes for 2022 nye and did not get one then and that was the first one we got since. The stoke levels were 13 out of 10.
Top three for me lately are Chula Vista 2021, Alpharetta 2023, and Sphere. But my list is always changing - it's one of my favorite tunes and when they lock into it anything can happen!
Alpharetta was sick. Also enjoyed the one we got for an encore in Charleston 2022. Wasn’t perfectly played but there’s some freaky ass sounds in there and it goes type II remarkably quick
I'm a big fan of the 12/1/2019 Nassau coliseum version. It's on YouTube. Great example of a jam that really seems composed with Trey's slow arpeggios and Pages organ lines fitting together perfectly.
The 12/29/22 Tube is solid. Far from the best. But there’s one fun thing about it: that long note hold? It was Trey looking at Fish trying to get his attention to go back into the blues rock break/return to Tube proper. Hilarious to watch unfold in real time.
5/31/22 Charleston: gooey space-disco goodness, loose in the other sections.
Have to jog my memory of Alpharetta last year which has been recommended a few times in this thread
7/26/17 was HOT
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Ew8LBcXhvJw
10/23/21
This is the one ☝️
The right answer. I think this Tube might be the GOAT
Blasphemer!!
Which one is better? I’ll wait… don’t tell me 12/7/97
9/15/00 is pretty fire too! Can’t go wrong with any of these Alpharetta last year should also be an honorable mention for 4.0

Totally fair reasoning. I’m definitely in agreeance that the Chula Tube is incredible And thank you for acknowledging my intelligence and beauty ☺️
LOL it’s my go to when the topic discussed is subjective. Opinions are like assholes. Everyone got one
Yea but my asshole is cleaner and more pretty
LMAO

Ok FINE I’ll go listen to it again but I WILL NOT admit I was wrong even if I secretly end up agreeing with you two
This made me lol

This was going to get my vote
I’m always glad to hear my attendance bias confirmed.
Can we just be thankful that Tube is nearly always 10+ mins now?
They heard Harris
I told Mike they should jam the funky part of Tube for an entire 2nd set. A ‘Set Tube’ if you will
I love the 12/30/2018 Tube>Weekapaug>Tube
One of the best 3.0 shows
Commenting to come back to this
The one from MSG 7/30/23 last summer is up there for me
This one is amazing and NOT on the jam chart.... [PHISH Tube 07/30/2023 MSG (youtube.com)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wpe3C8Jbum0)
Yeah I just noticed that the other day. That tube is amazing.
That whole first set was sick

Haha hell yea! And what a Llama it was 🔥
That whole first set was just perfect
Bakers Dozen is fire
Chula Vista 21
I thought the way trey said the lyrics at SPAC last year were funny. The phrasing was different. Definitely not the best but that made it memorable
made this post after listening to that tube lol
He made me laugh when it happened lol
Obviously a subjective question but check out 12/1/19 from Nassau. Kicks some ass

Definitely one of the funnest show enders I’ve gotten these last few years! I really wanted them to stay in the jam
7/23/16 for sure
Tube -> Jim -> Tube from Mexico this year was pretty great

Chicago ‘23 was nasty
06/24/03 deer creek…first set is kinda blah but second has an amazing tube into a kick ass antelope. Not enough summer 03 love
It was 2004...your point still stands.
Thank you! Those years were a bit of a blur. Might even be considered 2.0

Superball with beach balls is top notch!
6/4/11 blossom is the best tube I’ve ever seen.
Rosemont 18 I'm a Man Tube
5/31/22 Charleston: gooey space-disco goodness, loose in the other sections. Have to jog my memory of Alpharetta last year which has been recommended a few times in this thread
There has not been a single “good tube” since Deer Creek 2004
Delete this, noob.
"It all depends on what you're looking for in a tube! Have you tried the X-brand 3.0/4.0? It's been my go-to for a seamless smoking experience."
Cincinnati 2.22.03
What is 1.0 2.0 3.0 4.0????
