Everyone in this is high on beasters

This is a super authentic capture of the late 90s scene. I love it. It took me back. Love and gratitude to those who captured this and made the post.

I miss the 90's

"there's something in the air that makes em addicted like crack." Nitrous. It's nitrous.

This is such a great little artifact for a newer head like myself who didn't get to experience the 1.0 era live. Funnily enough, plenty of similarities in how people describe the scene. I'll take as much of this stuff as I can get so long as 2020 tour is done for.

Everything about this smells of nugs and patchouli. This is the era when I always caught as many shows as I could when they played in my area (Philly, NY, NJ). 12/11/99 being my ultimate Phish experience. I went to Big Cypress and my final run of shows of that era were in Albany Fall 2000. It got a little too bigtime for my tastes at that point and I think the hiatus was needed. I have seen them a handful of times since they have been back but im no longer 20 years old so I don't rage like I used to. Funny seeing the meatstick dance. That was the corniest shit ever. Thank the gods of succinctness that some genius bestowed the name wookie upon the type of people that everyone in this video struggles so hard to describe. Everyone trying so hard to be cool by being into obscure and experimental music, or whatever is their schema of good musical taste, is high-octane nostalgia for me. I don't understand the patchwork corduroy "hippie uniform" but you will get no judgment from me. I saw a few familiar faces in the crowd but I will have to rewatch to see if I can find myself or anyone I know in the background. I don't remember noticing any video cameras back then but my mind was often on many other trips. I also didn't go to Star Lake after Oswego so I'm definitely not in closing credits. Immense gratitude for the blast from the past.

This is awesome. Remembering late 90s mentality and how special and important Phish was at the time. The scene has changed but it’s still a great scene and certainly the best available. The realness is there.

Ah, brother Brennan. This came up by the algorithm, and saw it was your channel. I remember hitchhiking from Green Acres to the Creek the day before your wedding with Wichy and the filmmaker. I never felt like being interviewed, but its a great moment in time and space we shared documented, and was cool to briefly see Wichy and I in the back of that pickup truck. Love from Cambodia. Summer of 99 Phorever!

This doc is really incredible, thank you for sharing it!

Thank you for sharing...it brought back flashbacks from the Went!

Thanks for posting this. Too young for this Era but still alive at the same time as Phish, I am a lucky person.

The '99 Camden Chalkdust opener.......whoosh!

This is really phantastic. Thank you!!

Happy to have found this. A friend told me about it maybe 2 years ago, and I am finally committed to watching it. 1999 summer is the one tour I did in it's entirely, save for Europe '98, which was only 8 shows, and technically I didn't do all of that because I skipped the set at the Midtfyns Festival. Did most of Fall 1999 until Normal, IL. Summer 1999 though, those 20 or 21 shows I did all solo with no riders until I picked up a dude I had met in Europe at Oswego. It was an absolutely epic, yet profoundly exhausting experience. Ironically, just yesterday I moved a framed picture I have of lightning striking behind a packed lawn at Antioch, TN during 'You Enjoy Myself' so that it is more prominently displayed. To this day I believe the band was controlling the weather. Thank you Mike Mack! And thank you for sharing this!

12:10...the Phellowship. Amazing. Just, awesome to see this cat promoting a group that no longer uses drugs and alcohol. Never heard of them. Glad I just did. I would be one of them. One too many shroom/mescalin or Lucy trips, while on narcs, at shows. I still see the dream everytime I see deer creek, drugs no longer are necessary to reach that joyful, beautiful place which is what the music is all about anyway! Lol rock on brother

this is amazing. thank you. ah memory lane

1:03:35 .....those eyes lol whoa! He got some good stuff. Hahaha that ending was always my favorite part. Seeing the faces and reactions of everyone after experiencing the show together. :) love this doc. Thankyou for sharing!

It was easier touring the Dead because there used to be a travel day in between cities.

Someone gave this to me on VHS at Big Cypress. I only found this copy here thanks to phishvideos dot myportfolio. I've been meaning to transfer my copy to digital and upload but it looks like someone beat me by a few years! Looking forward to watching it again. Thanks!

Born in 1991 born too late for 1.0 just in time for the good times that remain!

I intially thought this was going to be terrible, but I was wrong. This is a fantastic doc, very well done and a fantastic trip down memory lane. Thanks for the work you put into this project.

The 90s, what a time!! Last great decade! Thanks for vid!

THANKS!

17:00 I think the term your looking for is "Wooks"....(Harmelss but smelly) You also have the prep school jocks and various other tweens who just come to get "wasted"... I usually eat just enough Hallucinogenics that not much matters besides Treys insane Tone and Phish's mind numbing improvisational jams. Although about 3-4 times a show I definitely fall in love with "the most beautiful hippie girl Ive ever seen in my life"...

Oh shit! This was the year that Mickey Hart played at Nelson Ledges after Phish at Columbus. That was really cool. Only a few hundred people there. Said hi to Mickey. He was very pleasant. Anyway, the ghetto of lot that homeslice was talking about, we used to call that 'The Yo Row'. At Nelson Ledges...Oh my God, I even remember the dog's name. These Yo Row kids with their raspy voices and boomboxes were up on the cliffs and one guy was even throwing his poor dog, yes of course it was a pit bull mix, off the ledge and into the water. Locks Dog was the dog's name. If you are in here and remember that, I am judging you. That was not cool, and I hope you realize as much by now.

It's so funny they brought up my town glens falls NY there being a problem in 94 with people flooding the town not being able to get into the show 😂

THe best and the brightest! Peace!

Stash of my life...................

Girl at 8:46. God damn. 😮

omg i havent seen this since college. i had a copy on vhs freshman year in '99. i havent even watched it yet and all i remember is "midnight-30" :)

8:38 Very cool and smart children.

I go to phish shows clean, but I definitely don’t go sober!

Fisher-Price My first full tour

Remember concerts.....

Do you know the guys who filmed on the Europe '98 tour by chance? I have been trying to reconnect with them since, well 1998.

Was on this tour

I think I saw a screening of this back in 'Cuse in '99. Was the creator a student there? Great stuff, man!

Who is the professor dude talking?

Cool story bro...

aw, sweet

@6:00 is this the peyton hooten show?

I wanted to up vote but that made it 421. So I took it back.

Aaaaah. The 90s, when the pills were dopey and the L was clean and pure.

That clinton poster hits different now.

55:14 hmmm interesting? Please tell us more

30:27 fucking LOL at this guy

You need to eat a few Panes of blotter to initially fall down the rabbit hole man!

I have this on VHS...

I saw the Bozeman Tweezer. It was ok.

4:41 double-fisting brown bags of fireworks like a Boss

Where is this ?

If E.R. Silverbush is reading this my email is monterhey AT gmail DOT com. I received a notice that you replied to a comment here but I can't find it or your email.

I did this entire tour, how am I not in this doc?

Hey is the guy from 9:20 the same dude from the rift promo?????

What about Max Creek?

I was also on this full tour. Wanted to watch and see if I could see myself walk by but the same 8 people talking bored me to death. I too had a video camera the whole time actually. Posted video on here from Oswego and from Florida NYE. Think if you click my name you can find them. Most viewed videos I have up pretty sure. I tried a couple times walking down the middle of shakedown with the camera. Each time almost ended up with people wanting to fight. Thinking I must be a cop or paid by the cops to do it. Half would smile and wave, maybe 3/4, some would turn away or say threats as they walked by. I was 18 with long hair and didn’t look anything like an undercover. Haha. Oh well. Was the most fun I ever had that summer. Only full tour I ever did. Shows were so good and was just so great on so many levels. To be young again. Life goes by way too Fing fast. It’s not a cliche. It’s true

13:00 - The good ol' days. Back when it was possible to be both liberal AND pro capitalism. Miss the independent vendors.

Dude 39 seconds in gets it!a lot different nowadays, if you don’t agree with the newer kids agenda they can turn real nasty real fast 💨 not everyone but it’s definitely changed

So many white t-shirts.

48:36 Kyle Mooney

18:26 I'll bet this guy is really fun to trip with.

Pure Guava and wife @ 52:14

Love the band - hate the fans.

Blah blah phish is boring
