By Phish. By Trey Anastasio. Arranged by Michael Mollo. This edition: pdf, streaming. Blues, Jazz, Pop, Rock. Lead Sheet / Fake Book. 3 pages. Michael John Mollo Publishing #1168869. Published by Michael John Mollo Publishing (A0.1598025).
Is it a nail-biting tale of a daring nighttime rescue mission, or a surreal yarn about a camping trip gone horribly awry? Whichever, the dependable set-closer “Cavern” is one of the most frequently played songs in the Phish songbook. This much is clear: the protagonist is venturing into strange territory where grave danger awaits. His friends admonish him to have one for the road before he leaves. When he finally departs his home base, he faces various unforeseen perils: “primal soup,” “porthole pirates,” and “sanctuary bugs.” But wait: before you start deploying phrases like “fifth-level Magic-User” and “+2 mace,” this isn’t just some arrested-adolescent Dungeons & Dragons fantasy; far from wielding a mighty sword, our hero is armed only with a hedgehog’s spine and his friend Rick’s trusty fork. And in the end, it all would’ve worked out, if only he’d taken care of his shoes.
Except for some early lyric changes – no longer does the narrator attack with an unwieldy knife and leave his poor victim in a pile of excrement, and no more does the chorus mention an Austin Powers-style enlarger pump – “Cavern” has been a rock in Phish’s rotation since early 1990. While it has settled into a comfortable role as a set-closer or encore, initially it was much more versatile, appearing just about everywhere in the setlist. But since fall 1992, well over half of the performances of “Cavern” have come either at the close of a set or during an encore. And no wonder: the song’s straight-up rock feel and fist-pumping climax make it a fitting exclamation point on the end of an evening of more excursionary jamming.
