7. Chapeau Mauvais
[audio:https://glidemag.wpengine.com/hiddentrack/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/ChapeauMauvais.mp3]This percussion-heavy instrumental has seemingly been forgotten about by Anastasio as it has disappeared from TAB setlists since November 1, 2002. In listening to this gem from TAB’s severely underrated Fall ’02 tour, Trey clearly put plenty of thought into picking just the right parts for each of the ten members in his band at that time to perform and Chapeau Mauvais would only benefit from an additional 30 pieces or so.
6. Rift > The Curtain With jam > Rift
When Trey debuted the orchestral version of Guyute with the Vermont Youth Orchestra in 2001, we saw how Red re-connected My Friend, My Friend and Guyute after many years. Maybe it’s time for the guitarist to do the same for Rift and the “With” section of Curtain With which spawned the title track to Phish’s 1993 release. Let’s say we have Trey and the orchestra work through Rift as we know it now and then when they get to the solo, drop the tempo and play the “With” jam. Dig it?
5. Scents & Subtle Sounds
Phish – Scents & Subtle Sounds
An instant fan favorite upon its debut at the start of 2003’s summer tour, the full version of Scents and Subtle Sounds shows off the many different sides of Anastasio’s songwriting abilities. From the gentle chorus to the anthemic charge into the lyrics, Scents has it all. Instrumentally, this multi-part composition would greatly benefit from strings, woodwinds and a full percussion section.

Fast Enough for You!
excellent, well thought out list! Some I wouldn’t have thought of that would be great!
While I must say that HiddenTrack is the best music blahg on these here interwebs, this particular list is a travesty. I would have ONLY accepted this list as the option.

Difference between my list and your list:
Your list: No Harry Hood
My list: All Harry Hood
@Miner – Thank you!
@The Sturge – For me it was between Slave and Hood (didn’t want to be greedy) and I think Slave would benefit more from the orchestra than Hood. I think so much of Hood’s beauty is based on the interplay between Trey, Mike and Fish; I just don’t know how you’d recreate that with an orchestra. Hope Trey shows me wrong!
Great list…. Mines
10 curtain with
9 yem – please
8 hood
7 Esther – think it would be perfect
6 car ini – just cause I think it’s impossible
5 div sky
4 goodbye head
3 big ball jam – how cool would that be
2 pebbles and marbles (it style)
1 slave
Great List Scotty. Trey should bring Chapeau Mauvais, Sidewalks of San Fran, and Olivia back to TAB.
Stash, but not with a string section but rather a brass section. Strings other than Trey’s sounds odd to me for whatever the reason, so I wonder what Trey would sound like backed by the symphony horns.
Great list everytime I thought of a song the next one was that song. Waves maybe. pepples and marbles they have done i think. slave would be nuts, hood would be nuts. Even though its not an original Peaches en Regalia would be nice and the inlaw Josie wales
I would love to see an epic orchestral rendition of the Inlaw Josie Wales – but I agree with all the songs you chose. I think Slave would be an amazing song to play. I agree with you – its definitely one of the most or maybe the most emotionally charged song that Phish consistently plays.
Wolfman’s brother, stash, and divided sky were stellar at Princeton!!!
Taste
The Man Who Stepped into Yesterday
I’d love to hear Trey and the Orchestra bust out a bluegrass medley. Sort of a Boston Pops Sleigh Bells meets Big Red mashup.
I can also seeing him resurrecting the one and done cover ‘Aeroplane Under the Sea’. Slo
So are you saying we won’t be able to get the live cd from trey with AOS on the 9 of feb
‘complete’ gamehenge
