HarborSeal Just a few other jams that I personally would consider to be from the Hose:

I think @Icculus is not crazy about IAWITW, but 2/20/19 and 12/30/22 both have HOSE jams imo. The former has a long righteous blissy major key jam, the latter is rip-roaring and shreddy but I think it gets drawn along by its "own thing." I'd say the former is more clearly "hose" than the latter.

The last 5 minutes or so of the 11/13/98 Disease--the stuff leading up to the explosion back into the main theme--are very much Hose to my ears, even if the rest of the jam is more, as Icculus might put it, the Wall--albeit the rather pleasant and funky wall.

12/31/98 has two Hose moments imo--the last few minutes of Mike's, and the --> from Tweezer --> Cities.

I regard the 1/4/03 Roggae as containing HOSE, even if it only lasts about 2 minutes. Starting a little after 6:00, there's a MOMENT where suddenly the way the rest of the song needs to be played just becomes completely evident. Trey plays a perfect lead, and everyone slides in under him, and there are a couple of passes at a crescendo and then the whole thing just CONNECTS and is played perfectly. At any rate, if you want to call the Vegas 04 Roggae Hose, imo this is HOSE too. (Not really sure about all those Vegas 04 picks tbh; but I'll take any occasion to fluff this Roggae.)

Capturing every moment of HOSE in a list like this is impossible. Frankly, I would be inclined to say that there is a lot more hose in Phishtory than a post like this could possible convey. Sometimes a totally Type I Hood (11/23/96, 2/13&17/97) or Antelope (11/30/95) or Bowie (12/1/95) or Reba or Jim or Paug or Julius (7/23/97 or 8/3/97 or 11/23/97) can be HOSE when the crowd is attentive and the band is listening and reacting and something in the universe just lets them KNOW where to go....there are tours and years of Phish where that is happening at some point almost every show--and apparently Carlos Santana thought the rather Type I summer your of 1992 was one of them!

But imo it can be hard to pick out Type I HOSE just by listening to recordings, and it's much more obvious in many of the cases on this list that it's the music playing the band.
