This is the best single song played by members of Phish between 2004 and 2009.

Antelope best ever imo

Trey looked like shit this tour. Caught a bunch of shows and it was so heart rending...so fucking grateful he's alive and healthy and Phish is still with us.

Holy shit look at these fucking guys lol

Present!!

I forget how incredible they really were until you see something like this.

Trey hàs à síçk mullet....wild I used to hàvé thé white tàpe ànd Ian's fàrm

Incredible to see video from this show! My favorite year of Phish and these were great shows.

SET 2:1:07:05

time stamps are your friends & set lists

First show. And, just to make things really weird, I had the final exam for my EMT license the next morning. That was an interesting experience. It worked out, though. Passed the exam, and left for Limestone, ME immediately afterwards. Why did the CPR mannequin just wink at me? Oh yeah, 🍄 ... lol.

"Taken far away" indeed. One of the best versions of this ever played

I don’t remember much about these two night other than the fact that I was there. Perhaps a naked person got taken away from near the side of stage in the stands at some point?

80's phish is so great but that Yamaha CP70 piano that page plays during this time period is sooooooo bad lol

Mike's timing in the intro is insane

Where are these guys now? They were good.

Dear lord almighty Trey on the Sample outro!!! ❤❤❤❤

That was gayer than a Ricky Martin fan club cruise.

my favorite phish song 🙂

My goodness, when they start the climb in Reba, magic just shoots through the amplifiers, Trey hits that streak. Wow.

Does anyone know where I can listen to a better recording?

A Goomba was there with Heavy-Thing and D Bolden Saraven.

Love it

I saw them play with Sugar Blue (encore) in Tinley ‘97. Unless they played with him a 2nd time, this is from TP.

I remember a bunch of my college roommates went to this show

What in the fuck is he doing at 39:39? Dude is not from this world.

12 minute mark

ahhhh yeah get it on

Outstanding version, but is there a less echoey recording somewhere?

This jam gets the goosebumps on high alert

I miss the robot army that were the Altmans

Matt Ruthenberg told me to check this one out!

Amazong to see these same four dudes still putting it out there almost fourty years later. Not in a comparative way here, but seeing as the deads career within the same entity lasted thirty years, the Phish from Vermont are so far beyond established at this point, theres a permanant mark they've left on the american land and soundscape. Nobody else has managed what theyve managed to do and build on. The dead are first and foremost to me my favorite American band thats ever been, but its undeniable the accomplishments these four dudes made within their realm of music. Everything and more, every passing year brings more and more fullness to their career in Phish. Same four guys, 37 years into the same moniker, their music isnt going anywhere but up up and away

Back when treys head turned into a jelly fish

Was there!

Listen to it at .75x speed you're welcome

Killer skullet about 4 rows up on the left!

Where’s the rest of 12/30/97?, I know it’s copyrighted, but I would love to see a full video of the audience perspective.

This is how they sounded when I first started listening......

Fishman.

It's so wild to see Trey and Mike walk offstage carrying the guitar and bass with them instead of putting them down.

59:15 hell yeah

Son Fucking Seals🔥🔥🔥

My God Trey was a beast in his day. And this was PRIOR to his prime (obviously) but I miss the days when he melted faces. The band as a whole is so much better now (40 years later) but Trey is much more focused on vocals these days and pedestrian in his playing. Not knocking the boys - my fav all time band, just miss the old days.

Trey’s playing sounds quite a bit like Zappa here.

I was at this show, and yes, it was f&cking amazing!

I so prefer this sound compared to The Sphere!!!!

I was there those shows and man hearing the crowd roar when Wipeout starts during possum gives me goosebumps and at the same time bums me out. Just had so much fun back then. Was on a mini tour between 3 venues at that point. I think Worcester being the final stop. Or maybe not. Can’t remember. The shows back then were just amazing. Treys guitar was at its peak. I haven’t watched a video from this era in a long time and man watching him impresses me. Was so used to it then we almost took it for granted.

Wow I didn’t know this was recorded!! I wasn’t far away from this camera. I was tripping really hard. Not something I’ve done at that many shows since usually I would be on either full tour or a long run of shows and it can be really staking of a substance. These shows were awesome. Saw some amazing shows from 97-99. Not sure how anyone can argue that phish from 94-98 or 99 wasn’t the best period. So tight and all the amazing songs! There are very few songs past farmhouse I can really dig. I think they tried to add too much lyrics. For me it’s all about their instrumentals and jams. Wordy slow songs just don’t do it for me. While with Grateful Dead or JGB a lot of the slower songs are my favorite.

1.0 all day everyday
