Episode 117: Simple Exploration

In Episode 117 we discuss the song "Simple" in three different eras: 11/16/94, 02/20/03, and 08/06/21. Exploring the beauty in the song that bleeds into wild improv, we discuss how this song represents various aspects of Phish history while also serving as a launch pad to their dedication to in the moment evolution.
