i come back to this jam and chalkdust torture 7/10/99 when i really need to remember how to feel. i quit drugs a long time ago, and its hard to remember how to feel sometimes. its hard to remember alot of triumphs and really celebrate them. these two jams always help me do so, always help me feel okay. I dont know what they were feeling that night exactly but ive felt it before and have never been able to express it quite as beautifully as this with words.

I run to this on loop, and because of this I can run forever. I’m still running.

At around minute 11 there is this feeling that wells up in my heart and i feel like everything that i worry about in my life will ultimately be okay. No other band taps into my soul like this and this is just one of many examples of Phish jams that can pull you out of yourself so you can gain some perspective. Amazing.

This shit will still have me flipping out when I'm 90yrs old.

I would request the Went Gin, in lieu of a final meal, before my execution.

The energy that is built in this version is palpable. If I'm feeling down i can play this and it makes me feel better. The 'botched' vocal entry reminds me things don't have to be perfect to be perfect.

Late August way the fuck up in Maine out of our minds seeing the greatest band ever. So long ago damn what a great weekend that was. Still seeing them regularly. The magic has not faded.

Not many jams out there that can hit like this. I feel the feeling I forgot. Thanks for everything, Phish.

The part that gets me everytime is at the peak of the jam when everyone in the crowd starts cheering in unison... chills down my spine. To have been there to witness that...

I will fight anyone that does not think this is amongst one of the most amazing live performances by any musician throughout history. Hood from a live one and Chalkdust from bakers dozen are my top 3. Was at the went and could not believe what I was hearing...then they played hood and I couldn’t believe what I was seeing!

This is good shit. I love Paige's piano fillers at the beginning.

Phish is too good for most ears.

After five years of listening to phish…. I finally discovered this. All I can express at the moment is wow.

This build and peak is what I imagine my soul leaving my body flying through the sky would be like. I LOVE THIS BAND. The simple from deer creek and carini from oak mtn have been magical already this tour. PHISH IS BACK!

Wanted to add that i love the cover art for Phish, that old school station wagon on a scenic highway is so perfect.

I was about 50 feet to the right of that tower in the picture. Clear line of sight to the stage for this masterpiece. Heaven found in northern Maine. What a weekend that was!!!

I want this jam to play as I'm leaving my body for beyond. Perfect,

Have to state what i have said countless times, Page is such a crucial part of the machine that is Phish. So hard to imagine Phish without Page laying down those gorgeous chops. Blows my mind that he wasnt an original member, and thank God and Mike that they found him, because it simply wouldn't be the same without him.

When i first got into phish i wasnt really sure about gin but as the band grew on me i realized how great a song this is, if this dont put a smile on ur face theres somethin wrong wit ya

once in a lifetime experience how you not cry. Best of my 90s, thanks phish

!!!!!!!!!Pure distilled Phish goodness!!!!!!!!

"The Great Went", "IT" and Lemon wheel all three festivals at the top of Maine were Incredible. So many memorable jams and moments. The Harry hood glow wars. One night the band stopped playing and had the audience turn around, they turned off all the lights and we all stared in silence at this huge full moon. That mid-morning when there were strong winds puffing up everyone's tarps and flags whipping in the wind gust. The Hang Glider doing big loops right before the show. The burning man project that was lit as we left to go back to tents and cars to party, that kind of freaked me out to see that fire. Smoking weed, drinking beers, doing whippits and munching shrooms. "Drifting and Dreaming"

Best Gin I've ever heard. This jam is the real deal.

Hichhiked there from ct when I was 16 a show ill never forget

That note Trey hits @12:22 .... THAT is when you have ascended into heaven... from that note until the end of the jam, you have made it... Most beautiful part of the jam

The more I listen to Mike the more I want to listen to Mike.

Happy anniversary everyone! Feel the bliss and know that you are loved 💚

I caught this gin the other morning otw to work....floored! Can’t get enough of this jam!

been thre.. 1st time hearing it..on tape..as us old folks say.. im back.. gimme a hit

This is such a good performance

WE"RE BACK! Who else is here celebrating the 2021 tour announcement????

Favorite phish jam ever

Was there on my 21st birthday. Today I turn 41. Where do the years go? Best jam of all time.

Is it weird that this makes me cry?

Even camped in a tent the night before caning in two day festivities.. the first night we camped and parked in some strange forest night before no idea 🤷‍♂️ where in Maine 🎉 True Story it wa super s Fun 🎉

This shit needs to be sent out into space so when aliens find it they know what the fuck the PHAMILY is ABOUT!!!! 🙌🤘😎

absolutely a peak moment from a band at the TOP of their game.

one of the best version of one of the best song in one of the best year of one of the best band ever. nuff said

One of their best jams ever. Starting going to their shows in 96. IMO 96 - 98 were their best years. They were on point 100% of the time.

My tent will never forgive me for this weekend

I'm pretty sure the JAM in this one is up there with any of the most exhilerating performances ever recorded within the history of mankind.....I seriously just relived some of the best moments of late teens early twenties just now. Thanks so much for posting this!

As someone who doesn't really listen to Phish, not only did this recording blow my mind but these comments are cracking me up lol

This is my number one jam of all time. There’s so much to it. I love the way Trey handles the slide of the chords. Jon is an all star here. Mike and Page lending tremendously to support the jam vehicle.

Music does not get any better than this......

The guitar notes beginning at 4:42 I bet made quite a few audience members aware that the acid they took earlier in night, has definitely kicked in.

proud New dad here this was my newborns first phish song

this the best phish jam of all time

Wow! Thank you for posting this!!! I remember dancing in the bubble house when they started to play this!

I was there and it was fucking magic

GFD this is beautiful! I will never stop loving this band.

There are a couple of times that I think that Phish totally (without trying of course) taps into the sound of the time more accurately and effortlessly then any other musicians ever could. This version, besides being one of the best things I've ever heard, has a 90's alternative sound that puts the stamp on 90's alt/rock genre BETTER then anything else every created. It is timeless because of it's greatness but just really hits the sound of that era on the head for me

Thank you mike, that bass is what makes this song truly special, that and Mike's background vocals.

my good friend becker just put me on to this jam. could possible be the best bath tub ive heard

30 years?! Naw...Not since that concert at Loring ('97)....but maybe since the first incarnation of the band start-up? yeah. :-) I wasn't lucky enough to get to that concert up here in Northern Maine...BUT on the beautiful Monday morning after the show I was travelling down I-95 about two hours South of there enroute on a trip to upstate New York with my 17 year old son in the passenger seat....we got swept up in a huge wave of Phish people for about 12 hours!! LOL Wall to wall, bumper to bumper, and in every ditch along the way (nobody hurt :). Police everywhere....just making sure everyone was OK and waving traffic on. Dead stops in the middle of nowhere North of Bangor. So I just dropped the top of the convertible I was driving and chatted with all the people in their vehicles sitting around me (son was mortified "Mom!!! You don't do that!!!") AHAHAhaaaa :D....just like "back in the day" after Woodstock or somethin' (LOL)...good vibes....happy/mellow people with neat chatter about the show and the weekend. Thought I'd shake the pseudo-hippie traffic when I got off I-95 at Bangor and started cutting cross-country to make better road time....but unbeknownst to me at the time: the band was from Vermont!!! LOL....WHO KNEW??!!! and I had to go right thru Burlington and up along Lake Champlain!!! I swear every VW bus ever made since the 60's was on the road that day!!! Between all the Phish tunes we could hear all around us...and the "Tool" and "Stones" me n' my boy were cranking.....well, it was an awesome trip. If Phish ever goes back to Loring.....I think I might just have to see the concert this time!!! Happy 30th, guys! Next time bring Phish Food for all of us on the highway!! ~~ RED ☮♡♫

Pure bliss

I always love when Page inserts the "Rhapsody In Blue" riff. Here it's around 2:25

Yeeewwww!! Will never get enough!! A great two days for my (our) Souls✌

I was there, good times.

Thanks so much for posting this! I've been using the split video part 1 and 2 of it live but always having to stop and start the second half. This is the first time I've been able to enjoy it straight through. It is in my opinion the best jam bar none and really.. my favorite 15 minutes of any music in any genre. I'm kicking myself in the ass for finding this 6 months too late. Again, thanks brother! Closing eyes, turning off my mind and surrendering to the Phlow!!!

I was there, first time listening to it was tonight, 1st time with the video, this time eyes closed floating, epic

WOOOOOOOO!

it's really about 8:30 when high gear kicks in - so melodic!

i love 3.0 bc its all ive been around for but i feel like this is what were really missin out on

It was a great show! Lots of rain, too.

As a phan it is hard for me to rank songs because they are all fire... BUT Gin is definitely one of my first loves.. has to be Top 5..

greatest gin ever, better than big cypress. I could listen every day.

Goosebumps from a time long gone

This was the best of the 37 shows I saw and their first show was in 84

ive listened to this about 80x this week

25th Year Anniversary ;)

we went

I really like this! 😆

I was there for this!!! Thank you so much!

It would have been really cool to be at this show and had your psychedelics kick in right as this came on.

Very triumphant, very Golden-Hosey. Very Phishy. 💫

I remember this vividly ...and I do mean VIVID !

Heaven

Love you Mark!!

Magical spell

Warning! Around 9 mins in you just start to lift off the ground uncontrollably.

sounds great

had to get in my tub for this one

@Kieran Reardon-Hhahaha. I laughed so hard at your post, "Mike's burning fresh grooves." Love it! Great describing words!

soaring

...but have you heard the Coventry Glide??

This jam right here is why I will not miss Mondegreen. Phish festivals are religious experiences for the band and the fans. One collective unit. Souls colliding. Heaven meeting earth. Thank you @phish!

8:35 mark for me is when I knew this was going into uncharted territory.

Only the great went

the keys at 9:10 just slay me

Big ups to Harris Wittels

All about Gordon at 7:24 changing the tonal center to Am and then.....blastoff.

Good audio, thanx. Btw- best gin ever.

Helluva jam

Space suit approved

my favorite gin is still 8/13/93 Indiana

The Taurus had a leek in the radiator when we were about mile from Air Force base. Campground The Great Weent It was retárdese Fun until stuck at Gas station about a mile from the Air Force base… we weee re stuck and waited hours for a replacement part I think a tube like named replacement par came by truck obviously new not (stolen sold st. San Martin) 😊

Heaven!

Yea...I was there and it was great. Mmmmmmk

Anyone have any other Legendary versions of Phish songs they'd like to share? I listen to this Gin and Harry Hood from 12/31/93 every damn day. Looking for new jams

My first Phish show :)
