As a substitute kindergarten teacher this is one of the kids favorite jams they love to hear and dance to the lizard song lol had a few parents ask about it like wtf are they talkin about this lizard song you guys dance 2 lol

See that little micro-spec in the distance by the mist tent? That was me. Losing my shit on mushrooms and weed and I loved every minute of it!

Might be the best version of this they ever did. Certainly the best I can remember hearing.

A great version of this song. The last 3 minutes are so incredible. I hope everyone that gives this song a listen gets to experience that last 3 minutes.

I was 18, about to enter college, but wanted one last weekend with my high school friends before we parted ways. You couldn't have asked for a better weekend than the Clifford Ball.

Trey's ability to write legendary melodies on full display with this outro.....guy has the touch

Lizards is the definition of Phish, improv, jazz, soul, rock, jam, face altering and ear melting.

If you are feeling down listen to this.................best medicine ever

Probably the cleanest version of this perfectly crafted song that I’ve ever heard. Truly Phish at their best.

You are witnessing an historic event; this particular set is THE set; the pinnacle, the top, the Cornell '76, the moment that every cylinder was firing for this band. I was at this show, next to the tapers and I will never forget the profound and industrial energy at this show.

Oh man, old school Phish is so, so good. So sweet. I remember coming back to my place after the bar and listening to this in the car with my good buddy Ben. He started writhing around. I was a little worried, so I asked what was wrong. He said, "The music! The music's got me, Bug!" It's got me too. I've been captured by it. I'm its prisoner, its torture victim, its lover, its darling little baby. I can't get enough of it inside me, yet I keep on trying. I keep pouring it into me, even though I'm overflowing. I'm melted. I'm crying. And the next toon on autoplay is The Divided Sky. I might die. But at least I'll die happy.

This song changed my life

I was there. During divided sky it rained. Then it cleared up. Then it was sunset. Later that night they were playing on the back of a flatbed truck. God Bless Plattsburgh

best phish song ever!! the fact that its only a live song makes it better and that much more special! consider yourself lucky if you've seen it live!!

I feel so old watching this! I can not imagine watching shows days after we were there! Sweet! The grasshoppers were OUT OF CONTROL!

Everything about this song is amazing....but Page..wow...off the charts!

This jam gives me chills every time. Trey leads us on an incredible journey. Soft & smooth to power & deliberate. Beautiful music

Trey's 90's tone was an inspiration.

The first and best of the Phish festivals, a soothing balm for frayed deadhead nerves. This weekends' music speaks for itself.

metaphoric still to this day, treys whole thesis. Glad I was there and glad its here to remember

Esta banda la descubrí hace pocos días y la verdad es que me tiene muy enganchado, son originales, interesantes y tienen groove. Bajé varios temas a mi celular. Que agradable!!

The helping friendly book it seemed, possessed ancient secrets of eternal joy and never-ending splendor, the trick was to surrender to the flow.

Something happened to the universe at this show. Things were never the same afterwards. If you look closely, you’ll see me standing to the front left of the taper section as a good friend recorded this on DAT

Love Trey's groove moves during Pages' solo! He's feelin' it

Incredibly beautiful.

I whitnessed the glory of this show as well! 18 years old. Mind opening bending times!

the outro always sounds like the end of video game to me. Would love to hear it in 16-bit like SNES

Face-melting. The perfect Phish song.

Phish your drummer is so tight.

The only man in the world who can pull off wearing a shirt with The Grinch holding a candy cane? Trey Anastasio. What a badass.

I was 19 at this show and had been fully initiated into the scene. Sugarbush 94-95 was a proper induction to the festival type Phish show, this became biggggg, CB was close to 100,000 folks, almost 3 times bigger then MagnaBall. Had a killer NYE run and wish you all a fantastic 2016

This is peak Page Lizards for me. What a great version, maybe my GOAT

Oh man this was my first show! Blown away and hooked ever since! I was so lucky to grow up in New England and 20 years old! Oh what fun! I’m glad glad glad that You’re alive!

The slight smile from page at 1:26 knowing that they’re about to shred it

This song was my fav.. I love the story telling and sweet sounds...

That outro is so iconic

I miss those days!!! Will always remember this awakening...thanks!!!

goddamn page chops! goddamn trey riffage! goddamn gordo groove! goddamn fish high hat control! goddamn masterpiece performance of this song!!!

Always loved this one live

This NEEDS to be put back into the rotation.....seriously....such a sick tune, but they NEVER play it anymore...except for last night of course! (Burgettstown 12)

One of the best Lizards! I was there too...oh so long ago....

Paige's look of glee before the chorus hits is priceless!

Trey's Grinch shirt is Life

someone should animate the man who stepped into yesterday

This is magnificent! Thank you for sharing. Much love!

6:11 page goes in for an itch mid solo! Epic!

I WAS THERE,WHAT A TIME!!

Brings back so many great great memories !!

I wish i could remember this weekend

I was at an all time low that Summer, I was a Dead and Phish Head, but Jerry having died the Summer before, I was hurtin', the Clifford ball was a life-raft.

the helping friendly book is the opposite of Facebook . hahaha

What a fine weekend indeed! Glad I was there!

It's amazing to watch play rythym as well as lead. His chord knowledge and voicing runs deep. There's alot to learn grom him.

The crowd is like snow... love it!

one of the best times of my life here, the lill play town they had set up doing match sessions in the lill fake post office.... lol... i was out of my skull i think. also i think shakedown was prolly the best set up of any show ive ever been to, so many stands... not commercial stands but tons of awesome talent in hand crafted items from just awesome lot folk... see back than and even a couple years earlier the lot was chill and not spangy, dope wasnt so out of hand or apparent then or atleast to an obvious point.... i am glad to see the band playing together again or still... i havent been to a Phish show in about a decade. i do miss those good ole dayz though... im just glad i did get to partake in many an excursion though..... o/ keep rockin guyz, be safe, responsible and have tons of Phunnn

Gods music:)

Everything in the universe came together at this moment

Somehow I cannot help myself but thinking that when Jimmy Buffet meets Grateful Dead you apparently get something Phantastic.

This song is everything

Now this is phish at it's phinest!

23 years ago today. Feels like just yesterday

I was at this show. Wow. Still a great band!

just about every live show they play trey has them great sounding speakers behind him

Real good stuff! Good memories!

THIS is the band I love. The band that changed my life. Look at the way trey wields his guitar like a weapon or an extension of his own body. The way they all do, actually. They were so, so tuned in to it all around this time. And imagine the thrill it must have been for them to see the turnout for what really set off a summer tradition for many years to follow. 60k+? not exactly amy's farm. seeing a band so effortlessly locked in to what they are doing like this is truly inspiring. rare.

Passing through the corridor I came upon an aging knight Who leaned against the wall in gnarly armor He was on his way to see the king Wilson Wilson Wilson He led me through the streets of Prussia talking As he tried to crush a bug that scurried underneath his boot heel He said there was a place where we should go So he lead me through the forest to the edge of a lagoon by which We wandered 'til we reached a bubbly spring The knight grew very quiet as we stood there He lifted up his visor and he turned to me and he began to sing He said I come from the land of darkness I said I come from the land of doom He said I come from the land of Gamehendge From the land of the big baboon But I'm never never going back there And I couldn't if I tried 'Cause I come from the land of Lizards And the Lizards they have died And the Lizards they have died And the Lizards they have died And the Lizards they have... He told me that the Lizards were a race of people practically extinct From doing things smart people don't do He said that he was once a Lizard, too His name was Rutherford the Brave and he was on a quest to save The people from the fate that lay before them Their clumsy end was perilously near The Lizards would be saved, he said, if they could be enlightened By the writings of the Helping Friendly Book In all of Prussia only one existed And Wilson had declared that any person who possessed it was a crook He said I come from the land of darkness I said I come from the land of doom He said I come from the land of Gamehendge From the land of the big baboon But I'm never never going back there And I couldn't if I tried 'Cause I come from the land of Lizards And the Lizards they have died And the Lizards they have died And the Lizards they have died And the Lizards they have… The Helping Friendly Book, it seemed, possessed the ancient secrets Of eternal joy and never-ending splendor The trick was to surrender to the flow We walked along beneath the moon He lead us through the bush 'til soon We saw before our eyes a raging river He said that we could swim it if we tried And saying this the knight dove in forgetting that his suit of arms Would surely weigh him down and so he sunk And as his body disappeared before me I bowed my head in silence and remembered all thoughts that he had thunk He said I come from the land of darkness I said I come from the land of doom He said I come from the land of Gamehendge From the land of the big baboon But I'm never never going back there And I couldn't if I tried 'Cause I come from the land of Lizards And the Lizards they have woah whoa whoa

Phish is an American gem. I don't know how they do it. But they do.

Fishman was a machine in this song. This song is incredibly hard on the drums. Especially with the rest on the Hi Hat triplets.

Trite, but Thank You Phishes! A new standard has been set.

I love this song... it reminds me to let go and pay attention

witnessed that live! amazing.

This was epic. I still watch this

This "Thunk" really resonates. It's been years since I first thunk with it!

It's all about the Rec Specs...viva Henrietta!

Gotta love the Lizards

Gahhhh...Sooo soothingg!

Gawsh guys the solo to this one makes we want to sail away.

Flawless victory.

One of my favorites. I was at there!

That outro is just fuckin sick

Mike Gordon kinda looks like Big Bird

This the best thing I've ever seen

Excellent.

This was such a great weekend.

i want that damn shirt

mike knew exactly what he was doin by wearing that ensemble ;) it worked

I wish I could've been at this show, shit looks legendary!

Not a lizard, but I live the book! Puro amor to Jay Starman

Page rips this

whoa. great version. trey doesn't miss a beat.

Seen Phish in Providence Ri in fall 96 then they also played a show out in New Haven and Hartford shows i went inside 2 out of the 3 that season.. Shaweet

Live music at its finest. Their live sound was so impressive … truly mind-boggling and quickly made me realize why people follow this band around the world..

I was there man!!!

Almost forgot to listen to this song today....

As did I! And amazing it was!

I miss this tone Trey had on his guitar. Fisman’s drums were mic’ed better back then too. Still love PHISH though!

Got two new dresses in this am that would put Fishman to shame.

amazahzing

I am so lucky to be in the right part of America. I saw these guys in 8th grade at Dartmouth. I think. it was $6 general admission.

Great musicians!
