Totally! Puffs of smoke blowing up and out all over the place!

< smoke machine ;)

I LOL'ed so hard when I read this comment. Thank you sir

Vaping before it was cool

Im impressed with how much weed some of you wooks smoke. I told my g.f. "im contact high" she thought i was speaking Japanese or chinese for 20 min. Wtf? Is contacti? She took like one hit

Pete Fiedler That describes it, You got it man!!!!

Kinda looks like Elton

I was in camp listening and recording for the set that started with sabitage(the on base radio station) I missed the beginning because I figure it was still some of the intermission music. Blew my mind.

They'll be back! They were 3 for 3 up there. They'll be back,

+Pete Fiedler I said that to my Mom once about Woodstock when she was in her early 40's (this was in '94). Now people are saying it about shows I was at less than 15 years ago. Thanks for making me feel old today. lol ;)

+Sinsemilla4u You are welcome kid. ;)

Pete Fiedler Try the ya mar, Reba, ghost and 46 days from IT. I think you'll feel the same way.

Thanks Bubble Vest. Peace!

agreed^

TheGrandAstoria he's bad ass and gets 0 credit....much like Nate Albert

Yup. I was there too! It and Clifford ball are the mecca.

Davino, you might be the only one that comments on phish shows as much as I do bro lol.. A+!!

I love to watch the videos, so I comment!

Same here dude

Agree 100%

I was there too, great memories. Would love if they did another festival at Loring.

Sorry Pham ):

@@finnster4949 ahhh Curve Ball. Not sure which was more disappointing Curve Ball or Coventry. I hiked 17 miles down the highway to get into Coventry just to camp in the mud and witness the saddest Phish show ever. What a weekend of emotion.

@@BostonDeadHead 17 miles 😳 holy shit man. What a memory.

Hopefully ya can make it to Delaware 2024 !!

he doesnt play better than garcia. hes right there though thats for damn sure. jerry had a very high degree of musical education by 1965. the man played melodic chords and scales like no one before. very much not an easy thing to do. knowing every chord shape and inversion takes alot of time and to apply it the way he did was unwordly. trey is on the same level in a different way. he plays like a fucking jazz player. never seen anything like it. jerry never did that. watching them both up close is so beautifully different

@@tw8454perfectly said man. no one needs to be better than anyone else because theyre all fucking great

Yeah it's like he is playing high on heroin

yup. perfectly said. jazz is phish didnt become a cover band for no reason

***** lol I slept thru the Tower Jam too! Broke my heart the next day. Waves was epic but what I remember most was the 40+ minute 46 Days and that fucking Ghost. 2003 is such an underrated year.

i thought there were like 4 treys let alone

I totally agree! The mid-late 90's were my undergrad years. My roommates and I would save all during the school year to buy as many tickets as possible, then, spend the whole summer living in a Phish-haze. I don't think I took 1 shower summer of 98. Ahh, What a life.

Craig Cameron Why didn't you shower?

Our car did not have one in it, and who has money for a hotel when you are seeing a show every day or two and they are hundreds of miles apart.

Craig Cameron Shit we always hotel it up when were on tour lol. Comfort is a huge part of the tour experience man, and cleanliness falls at the top of that list. I don't do stinky friends, need to learn to wash that ass lol!

yea, it seems totally weird now. My wife won't go to a show unless we get a hotel room. But, it was totally normal when I was 21. We became masters of bathing in a sink or just jump in a lake, in connection with a lot of incense.

el j arent they all

Mind blown :-D

Jams bands know their modes alright

is it bad that that just got me wet.... and i'm a dude

virolita Acá otro fan argentino de Phish!

I did it. I'm sorry.

Sorry I would have to disagree, coming from someone who has been drumming for over 15 years and loves all Phish, Fishman is definitely more polished now than he has been in his whole career, the man is a machine.

James Ricciardi - wow ive watched this video so many times and i never noticed that

Richard Stever ha good one

Bwahaha, please

Yeah, Treys not having any of that Bond theme...thank god

That second day was hot as shit if I remember correctly, with it also raining and adding mud and humidity to the mix. The show began at like noon and this was the beginning of the first set if I remember correctly. Look at how many people are just standing there with their hands on their head in complete awe of what's unfolding before them, especially in the middle portion. Then everyone just freaking the fuck out near the end

They type of people who get that close to the stage weren't they biggest dancers. Maybe it's different now, I dont know.

sweetpeajunglebean what about the ginger ripping the bowl next to him?

brob8479 ha good call

yes, in reference to the chord structures in the written parts of the song. but once you get to the improv (which is like 90% of this take) you can't pin them down to any particular scale. each member regularly departs from any and all scales they may be playing in.

Actually he's pulling more from E dorian/A mixolydian (It's the same scale). He also mixes the major and minor blues scales. He's very aware of the chord tones which makes it easier to be melodic.

+Tyler Thompson well said. Mostly blues with some Dorian

Dustin Taylor right.

Some jams make you dance, some put you in a trance.

Its hard to dance with your jaw on the floor & wooks with .25" on every side.

To each his/her own. I fucking love it.

LOL. Trey would wipe the floor with you.

Rock Seifert doubtful. i'm more into singers like Aretha Franklin

So you can play better than Trey? I love Aretha too.

Stephanie Susman Yes, definately hating. You wouldn't post comments if you thought "It's just not my taste". You would have left that comment out. Go tell your Phish Head friends that they are awful and leave this thread for people who understand their music and their style.

+I, IJCOBRA That seems like a bit of a close-minded definition of music to me, and I can guarantee that a computer couldn't jam like that, but I see where you're coming from. To each their own, I guess.

Yeah they should just play 3 min songs and make them for radio time just to make money. Id rather hear the same 30 songs played the same way at every show what are these guys thinkin

I think what you're missing is the fact that they're not out to play "songs," per se. If those are your expectations, then you will surely be mostly disappointed with Phish - particularly with the very thing they specialize in, which is the "jam." This is deliberately improvisational music, where the "point" is to experience musical moments as they evolve and take shape. But if you can't intuit the thread that stiches the passages together, then it won't make sense. It is a very abstract thread, to be sure - the key to the music being more like general guidelines for making a stew, rather than a perfect road map. For some people, it never clicks, and while that's disappointing to people like me, it's only reasonable. Everybody has different tastes. But that won't stop many people from trying to convert the uninitiated 😊

Ivan ubermensch, thats ok. Its not for everyone. Please dont try to force it. Tickets are hard enough to get as it is without someone taking one who doesnt enjoy it.

A simpleton has spoken!
