As someone on the other video of this on youtube noted (that is significantly lower-quality yet more popular??), it's worth remembering that this was a pretty big moment for Trey. It was his first time on stage since getting sober 7 months earlier. He reportedly even had to get his judge to sign off on going. While he does seem a little timid at the beginning, it definitely feels like somewhere around the 4:45 mark, after what looks like a little nudging from Dave, he clicked and instantly got his confidence back. This started the road to Hampton 2009 and phish 3.0. Really, really grateful that he got sober. While he may not have the machine gun speed like the early-mid 90s, to me he continues to get better and better every year. There's no guitarist out there better at building music to giant, emotional peaks. This was a good one. Glad I ran across this version
Never seen a moment like this in music. A young legend (Trey is but only 43 here) shaking off his addiction and rediscovering himself in the moment. While a great friend who battled his own similar addiction urges him along.
Really wish Dave would release this, it's such an amazing solo and such an amazing piece of music Edit: first time listening in about a year..still gives me the chills such an amazing solo considering where Trey's life was at
The last year of dmb... things changed when leroi passed a year later and now without Boyd, it’s just different. 98-02 were years I will never forget, so many epic shows I saw by both phish and dmb
I really do not understand why they haven't replaced Boyd, to me dmb isn't dmb without a violinist. Dmb fans get pissy whenever I mention it but to me it just doesn't sound the same without that instrument being part of the sound.
@@lucasm7177 I 100% agree. 90% of their catalog was written with violin, and it’s not like it’s another guitarist that left the band, it’s a main component in what made their songs different. Obviously the dude did some weird shit, but atleast get someone to replace him, don’t just erase one of the best parts about their music
@@atamagashock I agree, it's so weird that they haven't replaced him. IDK what Boyd has been doing but I wonder if maybe Dave is hoping to have him back at some point after he gets therapy or whatever, but it's so strange that they haven't replaced him at least with someone temporarily. Dancing Nancies was one of my favorites and Cornbread, like those don't sound right without a violinist.
Chris M the two bands I’ve seen the most live... phish 125 dmb 21... luckily started seeing both in the late 90s. Wish I was earlier to both, but I cherish everything I’ve seen by both
Almost unfair to take the sheer musician talent of DMB... then add Trey. Dave really "gets it". We get to enjoy some remarkable stuff... and yet there's MORE that happened.
LOL must be similar to when Hendrix was opening for the Monkees, except the lame monkey fans bood him! anyways yeah it's like eating a salad AFTER dessert. Sure Boyd still plays a few good "croutons" in there, but we just tasted chocolatey goodness. It's hard to get excited about even the most delicious salad after that. Regardless of the croutons.
there is a LIOG with Trey from 2001 circulating around on RU-vid...and as much as that is a more complete video, this jam with Trey is so much better (despite the Trey-Boyd dual on 2001 video)
