22 years, 4 months and 9 since this was played. The guys have changed so much in that time. They have had their ups and downs, their epic shows and their standard shows. Their sound has changed multiple time and sometimes changing back again, even a hiatus was involved and yet.... somehow..... any part of this, no matter where listen, could have come out of a Golden Age, a Light, a Tweezer, hell even a Seven Below from 2018. The beauty behind their music stands as true today as it did all those years ago. It truly does withstand the test of time.
@@adamseidel8901 More like a time where the shitshow wasn't easily visible to everyone, which as it turns out is a pretty good thing when you think you can't do anything about it
@@newusernamehere4772 that is exactly right things were still crazy but not quite nearly as crazy as they are now and the timeline really took an uptick at the year 2000 and then recall what happened eleven years later just one year before 2012 why it was the Patriot Act and of course the pre quilt show called 911 yes absolutely and then to go along with it you know to make everything just perfect the year of 2020 was you know the year of all things and then of course one year later the 20-year anniversary of 9/11 happened and of course it was a total Illuminati illuminated Freemason concept design in which the United States government really did and which out of their way to humiliate our nation and the people of the United States of America by the way that they conducted that operation and of course they needed to arm the enemy and equip them with lots of money lots of weapons lots of ammunition and a few you know pretty much a lot of equipment and buildings and materials most of the equipment they took out all of the electronics so you'd have to be pretty sharp and have the production line to you know operate those thing
Leo!!! Right, and only 10 likes in 3yrs. If you said "Trey's a jedi," you'd have 1000 likes. I don't get why so many fans act like the other 3 members are only there to support Trey, and I love the dude so this isn't shade.
He has come so far. The layers and thickness of his sounds are the best in the business and taken phish up levels Imo. The clean piano era is sick but he has been growing and growing
This was my favorite festival by far and utterly Phish at the highlight of their Ben and Jerry's I'm naming ice cream after you literally a staple in the industry...
My tent was near the concrete/runway/road to promise land. We were not expecting this when we started to hangout night before. We all ended up dancing and enjoying, like it was a concert. Best weekend of my life, by far. Everything was perfect. Thank you Phish for making all of this happen.
It was definitively a top notch weekend (other than having the car torn apart at the border). I was about to enter my second year of college and now my oldest child has graduated university and we sent him to Riviera Maya shows as a graduation gift. Time flies when you're having fun.
I drove from Canada to this show and had my car torn apart at the New York/Ontario border. On the way back we chose Vermont into Quebec and it was smooth sailing.

Cheers.
Yup. Like most, (from what I'm seeing) I also completely missed this being on the boxed set, that I already own. Many thanks for showing us what we've been overlooking. Looks and sounds great. Fun to hear them discuss things and be "turned off" when (mostly) no one was watching ; )
Willsawww Really would be sweet,don't leave out that magnaball soundcheck,and all dicks and gorge ✅'S either, something about that high west mountainous air!
I literally just found this video and my friend and I were two of those people!! We jumped a very tall wall and ran across a big field to get right up in front of the stage....and no one cared!
I can remember walking around outside the gate that Thursday night after getting settled in. This is great cause at the time we would’ve loved to hear all the banter in between. 15:14 nice Instrumental version of Argent’s “Hold your Head Up”
Nowadays as an adult i can't help but watch any band and feel for them how they have to be away from home to do their job and pay those bills i almost can't even really get into anymore. Just like in movies i see an actor acting and i critique them most have that smile I'm their eyes even when it's a serious part and some we all know who they are in case you don't PESCI DENIRO DEPP NICHOLSON theirs more but those are the for runners
For alot of musicians, the stage is our home away from home. Where we can let loose and be creative, free, and engage with an audience of people who enjoy our passion and our art. For as much as it is work at the end of the day and you have to sometimes be professional and ignore the circumstances or situation to keep playing on, that's part of what makes some music so good. The struggle of art is half of the art.
I met Mike Gordon once. Most uncomfortable experience of my life. Years later I stood next to trey at a no walk signal on the corner of 86th and Amsterdam in Nyc as he talked emphatically on his cell phone about some director he’d just met in regards to a film. That was slightly less uncomfortable, but only slightly.
I met Gordon backstage in Brooklyn back in 2004. I had had a few beers, so when he came up to me and my friend I introduced myself and explained who I was (we have mutual friends, including the keyboardist for Max Creek who I play in a band with). I proceeded to tell him "that it's a good thing Phish is breaking up because they lost the fire they once had". He gave me the strangest look as to say "what the fuck are talking about?" Lol! Definitely one of those foot in mouth experiences to say the least. Brooklyn Brewing Company had a beer stand hidden away and they were only charging $5 for 16 oz. That was my downfall! 🤣
Face grazing the edge of the hedgerow. An unguarded seam. I could fit through if it weren't for these wings. Floor out from beneath me and there I go again.
Wow.....I never knew of this! Im guessing it was a few days prior right? U can see a few people in front of them dancing towards the end. Thx a bunch for this!!
wow,how did they get so good,love that shit.....if you didnt see phish in the 90s .....ya missed out,some of you people just about missed it-no thanks-remember too theres other music out there than jam bands and jam bands only-i hear they are pretty fucking brilliant again
OP, great job calling that out as an "Eno/Lanois jam" - I'm curious if you think it is a specific reference or a general one? I hear it as very heavily influenced by the Lanois soundtrack to Sling Blade, which came out in 1996. I never made the connection to this style of Phish ambient/abstract jamming before, but when I flip back and forth I hear it 100% clearly. So that's a fairly major piece of evolutionary influence on the music I wasn't previously aware of. FWIW Sling Blade was a major development for Lanois where he really developed his analog ambient style, based around atmospheric use of the pedal steel guitar with mixing board effects. If you're interested in this style check out his albums Belladonna, Flesh and Machine (a little gnarlier) and the very gorgeous fully abstract 2016 album Goodbye To Language - all excellent.
China Doll H.A. are a disgusting organizing as it is. Just because they're making him give them money doesn't mean he did anything. Your security knows as much as you do.
trey telling mike to turn the bass down at 18:05 Trey: mike did u turn your bass up? mike: no i was playing harder trey:can we try it turned down ? mike:sure lol... :( :( PLM!..... FYI the mr sausage references ,,mr.sausage was a vending food truck in the concert area. at the begining of 2001 during clifford ball trey is again saying mr.sausage in the intro.. good times, no traffic either..
If you’re watching this, I know you love Phish. Therefore, my question is, of the 4, who is the most underrated member of the band? I know who I’m thinking but curious who others would say. All incredible musicians, who is the most underrated?
@@TheMrBlakeable not underrated by the fans of course. I meant which member maybe flies under the radar the most. I was thinking Mike when I posed the question. Whenever I listen to Phish on a system w/ good bass, he just always impresses me and I find myself intently listening to him specifically. That’s the only reason I was wondering what others would say.
Musicianship-wise? Page... he's an utter beast, and is their harmonic glue. Truly "Chairman of the Boards". Ray Paczkowski is great, but clearly no Page. My least favorite aspect of most recordings, and live experiences (now around 50), is how buried Mike usually is in the mix. It's mind-boggling. That said, he's not underrated.
@@j.kyronhanson5644 he’s not underrated by any fan of the band of course. As I said before, maybe just the one who flies under the radar the most and that could of course depend on the mix
@@j.kyronhanson5644 this has been really bothering me, i recently dived pretty heavily into Phish's catalog and there seems to be no consistency for Mike in the mix. When his bass comes through strong in the mix I'm always very impressed and greatly enjoy the added fourth element to the music. However, there's so many recordings where his bass is so faint. crank that shit up, let the dude guide some funk lines for the band.
Part of the fun for me has been watching/listening to the creation of new stuff though. New has such charm. Do you play at all? What's your instrument?
guitar, bass and computer stuff. I can say I learned how to play the guitar jamming along Phish and the Dead lol. What lacks in the new Phish is the sense of adventure, of discovery. Nowadays they sound predictable, it's like they already did every possible jam they could so there are no more surprises. No more voyages. Just a given key, a given rhythm and its iterations. It's, like, back in the day, they would do that to ease themselves in a certain zone and blast a new door open to create purely unique stuff. Now the jam is that beginning itself, it doesn't lead to that special place.
Sy Borg same with 89 dead but it absolutely rips. Not the jamming from 73/74 but the shit in spring 1990 absolutely destroys it’s amazing. I would say the same with phish. They’re older, they’re approaching a point where it will start to get harder. At least they’re sober
