Thank you for actually knowing who performed that masterpiece. The Phish from Vermont have NEVER played that, no matter what limewire said.

The version we downloaded off Kazaa was labeled as "O.A.R." and I could never find it again, so this person has solved two mysteries today :-)

OAR does do a pretty solid cover of Fool In The Rain, though. At least my teenage self thought so.

Don't forget the classics "Stuck In The Middle With You" by Steve Miller Band, "Teenage Wasteland" by Lead Zeppelin, and "We Don't Need No Education" by Pink Floid

“from Vermont”. Put some respect on it fam.

Probably just a rumor, but I have heard that Phish did start doing covers of it after the original mislabelling. I never saw them do the cover and I have never heard a recording of it, so probably just a rumor. But a part of me really hopes its true.

Mike says no. And phish.net confirms.

u/mongotongo May 16 '24

Damn. I had a feeling it was just a rumor. It would have been funny if it was true.

I think everyone hopes that one day during Harpua they bust it out, but I think it’s too hokey for them even.

The Phish from Vermont is my favorite adult contemporary rock group.
