While this song was popularized by The Jimi Hendrix Experience on their 1968 classic Electric Ladyland, it was originally penned and performed by New Orleans R&B artist Earl King, who passed away in 2003. Alternately known as “Come On (Part One)” and “Come On (Let the Good Times Roll),” it was decidedly the much harder-driving Hendrix version that influenced the Phish cover on 4/29/87 at Nectar’s. Check out and this hot and widely available show to hear Phish perform this tune; Trey's vocals are tentative, but he absolutely shreds the solos and the band exhibits "youthful exuberance" throughout.

Though there is only one known performance by Phish, Trey’s 8’ Fluorescent Tubes performed the song at their only public gig on 4/17/98. "Come On" also appeared during the electric set of the very first Trey Anastasio-billed solo performance 2/15/99 at Higher Ground, as well as four more times during Trey’s May 1999 tour including the last known performance by any member of Phish to date on 5/15/99 at Albany’s Palace Theatre.

People talkin' but they just don't know
What's in my heart and why I love you so
I love you baby like a miner loves gold
Come on sugar let the good times roll
Hey!

So many people live in make believe
They keep a lot a going up their sleeves
But my love baby is no kind that folds
Come On Baby, let the good times roll
(Let the good times roll)

ah baby, come on and let daddy fill your soul.
baby, let the good times roll.
hey!

A love is nice if it's understood
It's even nicer when you're feelin' good
You got me flippin' like flag on a pole
Come on sugar, let the good times roll

Hey! Yeah! Let the good times roll!
Feel me baby! Come on, good times roll!
Come on and let me fill your soul
Hey, let the good times roll
