Jestinphish So many good points.... So many good jams.... And no Reba on the HOF list hurts me, just for personal reasons. It is the song that drew me into Phish. That Eb-> F jam hooked me the first time I heard it. I saw it live for the first time on 8-10-96 at Alpine and it cemented itself as THE Phish song for me. And to this day nothing soothes my soul and blisses me more than the first couple bass notes by Cactus as Trey starts to softly plink away and they relax into what could be a stellar jam. And I say could be, because they never seem to blow it completely out of the water. 8-16-93 and Clifford Ball are both amazing versions. I'm preferential to the 8-16 St. Louis (not just because its my birthday). I'm still waiting for the definitive version of this song. I don't think they've played it yet. I sure hope I'm there when they do.

Reba is my Phish pizza. It's one of my favorite things. I love it every time. Even when it's not the best ever, it's still pretty god damn good and I will never get sick of it. It is the only song I could see at every show and I wouldn't complain.

For now, I agree with it not being Tier 1 HOF material. Let's hope the coming years change that!
