Just....wow. Trey is freakishly talented, incredible guitar work!! Whole jam was 🔥

Atlanta, GA - 7/23/97...my first Phish show...they played a Ghost that is unparalleled in my mind...this one is pretty damn good and shows the live potential of the song...but, damn, I get chills thinking about that jam...

Love seeing trey rock out like this!

Holy sweet mother of god this is a cultivating jam brah.

I've watched this so many times over the years. Thanks for the upload!

ive come back to watch this so many times. still gives me goosebumps every time!

I was in the Lucerna watching this - nice to finally see some video, 98 was great

just seen phish in Chicago for the start of the 2010 tour and damn they are amazing!!!

wow iv watched this video atleast 15 times in the year and a half and everytime i come back to it im in shock after hearing that....shredder

i never saw trey get so energized this rocked!

The delay loop produces a nice spacey feeling and then all hell breaks loose out of nowhere after a nice jam. Blissful chills all over

The 2nd set blew my mind! In all accounts, it was the phunkiest show I have seen in a long time.......

been a phish fan for several years now, sadly didnt grow up with the scene but this truly is treys finest jame ive yet to see, thanks for the vid!

To the trained ear, this is what to live for.

Still haven't heard anything as good as this!

this is why we all love phish so much. If only all the haters could appreciate brilliance like this

Its so fun to watch trey just raging it and the look on his face when he knows he's melting faces.

and this is probably the greatest video i have ever seen. it's beautiful

this made my weekend, thanks!

how the fuck his glasses not fall off

From what I can recall the Phoenix 97' show was considered to be the best ever version of Ghost..That was my first show when I was 17. I'm still looking for a copy..

When Trey tears it up like that it makes me see colors!!!

love your thought process~ funkin love phish

Sick!!! Love it . Thanx!!!

During the worst moments of the middle of a work week, I'll throw on the headphones at my desk and just take this in for ten minutes. Therapy.

Nice...and one month later, 8/7/98 @ Walnut Creek one of most underrated Ghosts of all time was played.

i strongly suggest getting this whole show. it kills

One of my all-time favorite Phish jams

Hampton '09 is going to be the best party of our lives!

Unreal! What a great jam!

the 6th minute of this video is especially mindblowing.

Man... It surely is missed! Long live the videos!

Look at trey, he just knows he's a fuckin' boss the way he makes the crowd go crazy with his smooth fiddles of the guitar.

This show is being released on March 25, 2008 as part of the Live Phish Downloads series.

this vid is still the best. everytime i watch it, i puke.

awesome vid, thanks

dude... thank you

Best Ghost jam EVER!!!!

great footage and a total shredfest.

unbelievable! great stuff here

Trey plays like Trey... and they charge right into this one. brilliant!

PSSSSHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! Trey's rippin' while the foundation is and was always so perfect... I thnk my pupils just dialated for like 10 minutes...

that really went up a notch quick....

just so good

AT 4:12 Trey knows how he effects those of us in the know. He knows what those sounds do and that is what makes him a master of that instrument.

trey has the best vibrato of any guitarist period, raw emotional release. WHat a jam... amazing

The main reason people don't like Phish is that when we try to show them, like referring these sorts of videos or recordings, nothing interesting really happens in the first minute of it. It's really just too foreign for most people who think of music in the way they do about commercial products like Hollywood films. It was great to hear Trey defend the community (original) aspect of music when inducting Genesis. This kind of art isn't consumed or performed, but lived.

grim, i think everyone here can agree that you are one of the funniest people on youtube. and i mean that in the most insulting way possible ;)

:) Absolutely

Heat. Pure and simple.

best i ever heard or seen trey jam as hard as this

1997-11-17 Denver (Live Phish 11) has one of the best Ghosts ever - it goes into a really smooth ambient style jam driven by a beautiful chill bass line. 2003-08-03 (Limestone) (IT) has an excellent Ghost with that alternate rhythm, which is also great

Damn, don't think I've ever heard this Ghost. Sick version.

thanks man

Coked up OUT OF HIS MINDDDD. but that's when he excelled!~!

Only jams from 1997-2000 really have a lot of 'siren' loops. Fun times...the good (not so) old days!

Trey at his best, you can tell cuz he's smiling practically the whole time. This is the epitome of musical virtuosity.

totally worth it

This is sooo sickkk

Yep, definitely have to have dope to enjoy very much of this...

thats some sick trey...wish he would see this

unbelievable guitar

where the hell did this version of trey go? this is the trey we all know and love. I want him back damn it!

agreed...this is my favorite 'ghost'

i've never seen trey get so into it before. pretty incredible.

This isn't the Ghost, It is the Haunting Sounds Of Phish baby~

I miss Phish when they really loved playing

its true I never realize. Pat's lyricism is definitely evoked here

I have watched this video too many times to count and Trey's bit from 4:00 to 4:30 is just crazy good.

The guitar sound is amazing

Started a little funky "Penguin in Bondage" to me... I hear Zappa all the time. With a little more rhythm. Either way by 5:57, Trey stands alone amongst my favorite guitarist. More creativity than anyone else I've ever listened to. And a great ability to stand back and let everyone else play.

This is Rock n' Roll!!!!

I'm seeing them June in Pittsburgh YESSS

Even though mike never looks too enthused I think he loves it so much

I agree. 06/18/2009 Tube. Epic for sure

last comment was directed at jm :) you know it's about to get down-right nasty-dirty-tongue escaping good funk. Be what it is! and it's divine~ love the bassist gordon.............& btw not only can Trey hold a flame to any modern great.........so can paige & phishman! love it! (& prO-BAMA while we're at it)

ROCK STAR TREY!!

HELLA SICK

very nice. trey was rocking.

Woooow. Face= melted..

You have to give it up to the rest of the band for being able to hold it all down under that. Even though Trey is shredding balls, you still can feel all of their energy behind it.

haha, I love when Trey just goes crazy during a jam, so fun

right on.

SICK

This is machine gun Trey at his most fierce; tongue out, head thrashing, monster stomping shred session.

I wish that trey would throw a freak out like this every once in a while nowadays. I didnt really hear much of it at hampton but maybe as he begins to settle in again he will go nuts like this again.

Trey absolutely shreds this. Would've been incredible to be in that crowd.

11/22/97 (Hampton Coliseum, VA) Izabella trey goes completely NUTS

They are raging hard!

Phish tour dates on their website. 3 day run at Hamton in March!! WOOOO see you there!

Sick

a ghost jam a day keeps the doctor away

a collective peak.

EPIC

This is a video of a man possessed by the power of rock! You can see it, it always starts with a little head bob, and next thing you know you're jumping around like a damn animal. It's the best drug known to man, the music takes over your whole body.

It's on LivePhish. You can download Ghost .mp3 (free) and then line up the audio in your media player (iTunes) to 5:15:30 or so, it lines up very very good. It's within a couple miliseconds, so it'll be like a real theater with the delay. Makes my day

wow!

im seeing phish in a week!

This is IT!
