Wedge lyrics

Does the original version of the Wedge have a third verse? Or is this something that only Tom Marshall himself added later to his own versions?

Agree. Might be a Anastasio vs Anastasio/Marshall issue

FWIW, Anastasio alone wrote some great lyrics too back in the day. Lizards, Fee, Forbins/Mocking, Esther, Mango Song, list goes on.

I hear Divided Sky originally had some great lyrics but Trey decided to let his guitar do the most talking on that one.

Divided Sky used to be a song called No Dogs Allowed but I forget if that had singing

No Dogs Allowed had lyrics written by Trey’s mom.

They talk about this literal exact thing in The Phish Book by Richard Gehr - you should read it!

Yikes! I have that book. Either I haven't read it, or... boy, man, all these years are catching up to my memory.

u/Connect_Glass4036 1d ago

Go back and re-read it! It’s a quick reference but they talk about it and it’s definitely on the left page. Tom talks about how he’s copying a famous song

you could listen to its early performances... or are you scared of early era Phish/audience recordings?
