Boy boobs!

5:00 mark: me in a red shirt jamming at the drum circle I started with only two other guys. We played for hours… couldn’t make a fist for days. 😂

Great version of You May Be Right !! This is the year i had my high school band also!

The mid 90's were the absolute best

You can’t see the bass player/main vocalist and the guitar player is blocked by the bassist but the music is actually well done and the sound is pretty good too.

Good stuff. Get some tragically hip in there to. All Good song choices though either way.

Niceee so many good memories. And awesome bowie tune. ! Niceee

Good stuff !!!

what happened to the time capsule?

We all started somewhere.... Work on the abs, the hair is perfect!

I have no idea why this was recommended to me.

We played the last in a cover band I was in

Why?

I had a strong feeling they were going to play a Beatle song!

I gotta say somebody from this band still plays :-)

this has made me so unbelievably angry

Are you that kid from 91?

This should be in front of 1k people... So damn good

Those cypress trees were nuts while tripping balls

I was 19 and this was a trip of a lifetime. The show, the setup, and those GIANT balls flowing from the front of the stage to the back. So great

My favorite memory of this whole experience was standing peacefully at the orange barricade listening to the sound check. No one wanting to be unruly, everyone who was there just standing there peacefully enjoying the music.

This seems so familiar, I think I was there.

I'll never forget that night. I got some sloppy top in the back of my van from some spinner chick from colorado. She was greedy as all hell

No cell phones!

9a, 6a before phones we used the force

I was a day shy of turning 2 when this happened. My mother said she made sure I was awake when the clock rolled over to 2000. Being in Arizona, we left 1999 around the time they were playing Sand. I can only imagine how intense that night was. Glad I can sit here and listen to it whenever I want here in 2024.

Was there too... drove from Washington State. I saw phish probably 2 dozen times - this was my last show. Life changed and I figured this couldn't be beat. Maybe I'll see them again, not sure...

Drums disappeared.. was it the cell phones or the N2o? or both?

Not a phone in sight...

Oh shit..... I forgot about the drum circle in the woods.... What a good time..... CHEESECAKE!!!>>>>>Thanx!

The greatest Phish show ever.!!

No smart phones it was beautiful!

SLAVVVVVVVEEEEE TO THE TRAFFIC JAM

the end of a golden age no better place to cash in your chips

This is great stuff, Matt! I'm impressed! Such a unique arrangement which truly carries forth the tonalities and the spiritual essence of the song.

I grew up 10 mins from where the GW took place. The year prior to that some promoter tried to have a show called Spudstock with these old performers like Eddie Money that was a total flop. Like 2000 people showed up. So everyone thought the GW would be the same. They were all cynical. Of course those of us that were Phish fans and had been to a bunch of shows knew better and just kept saying, “You wait. This is no Spudstock”. The locals were blown away by the number of people that showed. So the next year at the Lemonwheel all the older people went. I ran into my girlfriend’s parents and was like, “Ok this is getting surreal”.

what a magical weekend! we were guest of Chief Jim Billie!

I think younger people today look at the 90s kinda the same way I was looking at the 60s during the 90s

Thank you for sharing. Im 48 now and it is great to see this and the memories of that experience thank you

I was there. I remember the drive from Maine. We pulled into a rest area somewhere along alligator alley. I got woken up at 5:30 am to some crazy wook screaming in my face “the gates are open get up!” and that was the beginning of my amazing new years 2000 weekend at big cypress. The best most memorable new years in history

Thanks for filming this and posting this! I was 24 years old and will never forget it

Clearly one of the most important events in the history of modern music, and you could easily argue American culture as a whole. Nothing really epitomized this generation so well despite the fact that Phish was a niche band in some ways. I think their significance stems from the origins of Phish fan culture, which tends toward upper middle class and educated. In some ways you could see this as the high water mark of established American bourgeoisie culture. Everything changed in the 21st century, and America began its speedy descent into ruin. But the energy and beauty and chaos and unique naïveté of American youth is on full display here, turned up to 11. I wish I had been a phan back then, although it might have killed me. Maybe if I had picked Cornell over Georgetown I would have found the weird hippy kids who should have been my friends back then. Sometimes it feels like I’m living in the wrong timeline, like I missed a turn somewhere down the number line and have been lost ever since. I mean look at me in the YT confessional at 2:37am on a Wednesday in an AirBnB because we don’t know where to live. I’m not complaining, just … letting the thoughts out. God bless all you beautiful freaks and geniuses, all you lost souls and wanderers. Who knows, am I right? I really need to find a decent therapist.

We should be there! 🥲

Man I wish Deer Creek was still in the middle of nowhere like it was back in the day!

Ticket #336 loved the whole experience greatest show and new year even the traffic was a hoot

God Bless the Earth

What a great memory!!!! And I remember that traffic!!!

At 0:20 you can see a dome on the left hand side, thats where my group always is!

Never been to a Phish concert but my god it’s looks like fun!

The weekend of Rock A William and malachi. Did Deer Creek > the Great Went. Had a freaking blast, being free on the road for 2 weeks seeing this beautiful country. Bringing back some good memories here. Thank you for sharing. Peace > Love > Phish
