I was diagnosed with MS 2 years ago and this was the first show I ever had to attend in a wheelchair. Derek made it special it made me feel so much better in the moment.

People don’t talk about/appreciate how great Trucks can be as a rhythm guitar player. Some of his backup for Trey is incredible

Derek may be the best on the planet. The guy just steals any show he plays in.

Lived in toga for 15 years. I’m 21 y/o now, phish is my life. My parents raised me on em. I’ve gone to every phish Spac show since 2012, with the legendary, flawless YEM encore from that specific year, I was 10-11 that year. Changed my life. A whole decade later…I get a call around noon of the second day of the benefit shows, my best buddy whom has worked at spac for 8ish years and was a supervisor by this point this past summer of 2023, informed me that dereck was going to play the majority of second set, didn’t believe him and called him a goon until I saw the tech guys throw derecks simple set up on stage in like 10 seconds or less, as a guitar player since 6 (thanks to CliffordBall era trey) I knew my spac supervisor buddy was right when he called me around noon the second day for the heads up. Love that kid, matter of fact I brought him to his first shows and turned him onto phish via my mothers Clifford Ball full fest dvd set. He couldn’t get enough of it. He’s been a jam head ever since I showed him like 4ish years ago when we were like 17-18y/o. He’s been to almost as many phish shows as I’ve gone to since I was 10-11ish, he started at like 18 by himself. Anywho, this show put me at ease. Wasn’t so close with my mom cuz she got her third dwi a couple months prior to this and she was still drinking at this point, but a month post these beautiful shows I snapped her out of it and today she’s 53 days sober, taking care of my 17 y/o sister with terminal brain cancer, my mom takes care of my lil sis every day and she’s my mom again and she is being a fucking champion, sober at that for the first time for her (my mom) since she was a youngin. Everything rly is right rn and I’m holding tight. It’s been a bumpy trip but I’m so excited for everyone’s future. Phish has changed my life for the better good. Best band in the world imho just because of how much they’ve done for me personally without even having a conversation with them myself personally speaking. But since my mom has done so good and living in Saratoga, Trey is an alumni in the sobriety meetings in the saratoga area and she gets to meet him, and she is ‘making me’ (inviting me) to go with her for the event of sobriety and I get to meet my hero soon enough. My style of playing is just like my hero. Matter of fact by coincidence, my current abode is a 4 minute walk from the old Plattsburgh Air Force base which held phish’s first and largest festival which inspired me to play guitar in the first place when I was like 6 years old. This world is full of coincidences and convenience that I can hardly comprehend. But my hero Trey Anastasio has changed so many lives in one way or another including mine and his and everyone in my family that I can name. Conclusion: it was an honor to be back in my home town to whiteness these two amazing nights of music, all of which was for a great cause at the same time. Very grateful for this video to be up…still. As I will rewatch it whenever I need a spark of inspiration. Dereck was a perfect fit and phish tore it up both nights as a whole. Makes my heart move the same every time and I know that will never change. Cheers to life my phriends, as it is a blessing to be alive on this planet witnessing everything our eyes can behold. Peace and love: -Mason Malpass

I feel like some of these songs will never sound the same again. This is UNREAL.

Derek is amazing it’s like u can see every note he played soaring through the air 🍄 🍄

That Blue Sky tease at 25:50 is everything. And that First Tube is absolute magic. The way Derek can literally continue to play the guitar while simultaneously grabbing the slide from his pocket and SEAMLESSLY carrying on his solo is absolute witchcraft. Such a beautiful performance.

0:00 Golden age 13:21 Everything's Right>🐠&🚛 jam 29:40 Life Beyond the Dream 37:04 First Tube (💣) Signature jam of the night 🌙 🎸🎸🔥 46:15 Possum (Encore)

Yeah, this is the best video I’ve ever seen on this app.

Derek Truks is a guitar god and this jam while joining Phish is a treat. His style of picking is truly unique to him only. Seen him many times via Allman Bro’s and Susan Tedeschi Derek Truks. He’s such a joy to watch and always blows me away. He’s Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimi Hendrix, and Eric Clapton all rolled into one.

Best guest sit in for me all time and it's not even close!!

This was by far the best phish show I've seen live. They played amazing from beginning to end. The whole show was a huge dance party!

My God were we treated to something special that night!

Too wonderful. All great musicians.

As soon as I finished watching I donated a $100. That's how good this video was.

Why am I just seeing this now?!? This is amazing!

fortunate enough to be there..kick ass!!!

Walkin to the car w/ Derek trucks ascending into the clouds was a memory I'll have forever!!!

Thank you for posting. My two favorites.

This is Solid Gold. Trey is awesome, but Derek just blends right in and raises everyone's level. Love it!!

This means everything to me Literally heard it for first time Sunday night late , had to have best dog ever known put down Monday morning, and beyond grieving. But this 1 hour or so literally rescued my soul from despair 🙏❤️❤️❤️

Those harmonizxed guitars on First Tube are worth the price of admission.

Wish DT would jump on a few tours!! Absolutely stellar interplay between Derek, Trey and the entire band, hence the Trey-fist at 36:04.

@chip_douglas57 - Derek is a flawless guitar player. Both rhythm and lead. He listens to all the players in the band and knows exactly where to fit in his playing

Needed a good jam and found it right here...and Derek as a guest, lovely ❤ 25:50 heard it too. Feeling the blue sky vibe!

one of the greatest moments of my life. I've seen phish since 1988, I was mike side 18th row and rarely i was sober. just so blown away, saw the same thing with Carlos 7/25/92 in Stowe (not sober) where Im from. Not sure which is more unreal. I forgot how epic the first tube was , it will never be the same might as well retire it.

I watched the live feed and was happily surprised at how long he stayed on stage to jam. As a lover of great guitar 🎸 these are not just 2 legends of Rock, but 2 virtuosos taboot. 🎶🎶🎵🎶🕺🏾🎶🎵🎶💃🏾🎵🎶🎶

Everything Right with this! Blue Sky and slides!

This was an amazing show! So happy I was able to finally catch a special guest.

the whole allman brother vibe and blue sky flavored jam, then into Derek teeing off at 26:40 and doing some responses to trey. this is such a groove.

A friend just shared this and it’s fantastic. I’ve seen a few videos lately of Trey joining TTB, but either he doesn’t have his full rig or the audio is just not so great because you can’t really hear him that well. In this setting Derek adds such a huge new dimension. Definitely one of the best things I’ve seen in a while. Thanks!

This was an epic moment in time. What a night. Best way to finish 2 nights

Really cool, I heard a little “Blue Skys” in there. DT super versatile guy, he not only keep up but he was driving it for a little while

19:00 stink face engaged....pocket found!!!!!!!! 🌵

No offense to Susan, none whatsoever, she gets my pure respect and admiration, but I've been waiting for Derek to do something like this for 10 years!!!! Rock on!!! 11:06 that's what I'm talking about. 18:28 and that. funk.

Thank you for sharing this ❤

I love it when Trey takes a backseat and just plays rhythm love watching him take it all in for a second .

Best phirst show ever.

im amazed that derek or any one can show up and go what key is this in and commence to rip. these guys have mad guitar skills and great ears, love the way derec took over the jam and trey just followed.

Phish and Derek Trucks ❤

Dererk’s playing has gotten so much better over the years. He’s the best guitar player right now. He makes that guitar sing…unbelievable

It’s like two angelic creatures having battle axe sound sex pushing molecules in every possible trajectory at every angle and within each and every conceivable point in space at all points between here and there and now and then. These cats are purely making magic for the Gods. Holy houses in motion. Thank y’all Trey and Derek!!!! T and D scoring touchdowns all night long!!!!!

Did anyone else notice that Trey turned to look right at DT and emphatically point at him when he sang the words “some light being” in the first verse of ‘Golden Age’? I’d call that high praise-from one “light being” to another.

Gives me f'ing chills!

It's like Derek's been playing with Phish for 20 years...

EVERYTHING’s RIGHT❤

The whole thing is just money. As someone pointed out, that Blue Sky tease, legendary

This was so cool to witness

Absolutely ripping!

Derek with the large sit-in

This is the Shit 👍, Fuckin’ Amazin’. I’ve always liked “Possum” but damn, this is beyond. One of the best sets of music 🎶 i ever did hear. If i could afford KZfaq premium, I’d download it proper…

that melted my face. the only thing that heals my soul from my abusive father

just ridiculous....🤩

2 Kings on the stage was a sight to see

Derek 🛻 the 🐐

Thx heaps for post Jay

Can I use that Door Dash coupon?

They sound like Allman minus a drummer

mr. truck's last collaboration with phish was 7/7/1999 - he was 20 years old. fast forward 24 years later and here we are. pro shit.

Derek higher in the mix here than ttb👌💪

Let trucks Sing

I feel elevated

Caramba que coisa maravilhosa é essa. E só vim conhecer agora 030124 - antes tarde do que nunca. Não falarei da qualidade dos músicos e sim do retorno aos Staged sem falar que eles não sofrem a maldição do U2 e sua esfera onde, após ricos e famoso, repetem todos os dias as mesmas músicas para uma plateia amorfa lá da esfera de Vegas....

I'm cracking up at the Goose popup 26:02

GOLDEN AGE

Thank You

Amazing!!

Excellent, the guitar interplay was amazing. Can anyone post a set list for this? Thank you!

Don't sleep on that Possum!

PHISH GENIUSZ GENIUSZ GENIUSZ nad GENIUSZAMI KOSMOS KOCHANI na zawsze dziękuję BARDZO i MIŁOŚĆ ☮️ POKÓJ MUZYKA tak DEREK TRUCK ABSOLUTNIE GENIUSZ GENIUSZ GENIUSZ nad GENIUSZAMI KOSMOS KOCHANI na zawsze dziękuję BARDZO i już kochajcie ARTYSTÓW

I like that Phish bends their style to work with and get the best from Derek. Bravo! Anyone know when and where this was?

What is date/venue of this offering???

I listen to golden Age a lot

Good men, raising money for flood victims and marsupial awareness 👏 🍻

そこに居たかった🙏Wish I could be there...

damn, you slid posting this

I think it’s interesting that Trey tried to adjust his phrasing over the years to be like other players. His phrasing is unlike no other guitar player ever, in a good way. Listen to yem from 2/26/03

Fuego

Life Beyond hit a bit DEEPER on the re-listen knowing what happened😢

What might it have sounded like if "Possum" had appeared on the tracklist of the Allman Brothers Band's "Live at the Fillmore East" album in 1971? We get a taste at 51:04.

I PAID MY DUES

Who else thought that text message was for them lol

Did they auction off that Fishman moo moo? I’d of given about tree fiddy.

where is this filmed? fantastic!

35:43 perfect quintuplet

Did he rehearse this shit with them? If not... damn

A TVOTR song?! No way

I’m sorry trey solo off Derek in first tube is best he’s been in a bit

19:25 Luigi out here jammin

@9:20 I really thought they were gonna go into whipping post

Close encounters 2.0.

Where is this and is this the first time he jammed with Phish?

Where and when was this show, please?

🔥🔥🔥

Where’s the Neville ?

Wow

cool😎

anyone else hear Layla at 5:30 ?

@model_number_band - when TTB plays their annual run @ the Beacon in NYC usually Trey joins for at least a few tunes over the run of shows. There is a gr8 version of mountain jam (allman brothers) from a few yrs back definitely worth a listen
