This is the next installment in my Top 25 PJJ tracks series for a year, which you can stream every track directly from Phish Just Jams . As with the previous installments, this is meant to be a list focused solely on the Phish Just Jams tracks from the year in question.





This is my version of the list for 2.0 as a whole. I'm not suggesting that it is the definitive list and there are a few choices that I could swap out with others depending on the day. I'm not ranking these 1 to 25 but just presenting the list as a whole because really what difference does it make which jam I think is 11th or 8th or 23rd or so on. The purpose of this list is just to provide a Phish Just Jams playlist of the best jams from the year. The list will be presented chronologically and can then be parsed and dissected from there. The list will also link to the full version of each song from the terrific resource that is www.phish.in for those want to take in the whole song instead.





Since I'm covering 2 years for this list. I'm expanding the list to a top 35. I try to look at it as putting together the top quarter of jams from a period and lets face it, 2004 doesn't have as much to offer so combining the lists just makes sense. With the introduction of the slop that defined much of the compositional sections in 2.0, Phish Just Jams is a perfect fit for this era since the band was always willing to go off the deep end into the abyss. If you struggle with the composed parts in 2.0, give this list a spin and see if you find it more accessible.





This mix totals out at nearly 8.5 hours of pure Phish improv and can be downloaded here . You can also stream it here
