the single greatest concert moment of my life. still gives me chills to this day. my friend and I knocked his gf over jumping for joy at the first notes of fluffhead, too excited to pick her up while hugging and jumping for joy. phish is the greatest...SO GRATEFUL to still have them playing for us 15 years after this moment. We are blessed

"We're about to make so much fkn money" - troy probably

I wasn’t even into Phish at this time even with my sister trying hard. Years later, I finally came over to Phamily. Watching this made me cry. Simply because I now know how bad the break up would have been and was for all of you. The emotions pouring through this video are intense. I can only imagine how intense it was in person! 🖤⭕️

Holy smokes 4:40, absolute mayhem typing with tears in my eyes. Thank god Trey got sober.

This is the quintessential jam band bust-out, and the "OH!!" at 1:48 (along with the rest of the crowd's reaction) is the perfect encapsulation of what it feels like when a bust-out happens (Edit, a few months later) I hate to reduce this moment just to a "Bust Out". This is one of the greatest moments in the history of live music and the history of rock and roll. And I'm not even really a Phish fan and I've never seen them play live)

Started crying at phirst notes - especially at that time (Trey got sober). Thanks for an awesome memory

Everybody blew their load on the first song lol you still got 3 hours of music

Whoaaaaaa. No band has ever, or will ever get an opening reaction like that. Whew! So amazing. Also, now I see why the venue is referred to as "Mothership" thank you for posting this.

Bring a tear to a glass eyeball...thanks for the capture bro 😎 👍❤️🐟

I love you guys!

chills everytime brahs

Goosebumps at 14:29, one of may all time favorite Phish moments. I come back a couple times a year to watch this, it's really the only video that truly captures how we all felt that night in VA.

Unreal. Fucking chills. So happy Trey is clean and happy and the band is killing it all these years later

the feels

These kids act as though they've never heard 'Fluffhead'. WTF!

I cried

Righteous thank you

8 years ago today. Thank you for this Mike. I needed it.

I am such a little bitch....this had me crying again and I've watched it 100 times!

The emphasis on the "Wooooah YEAHHHHH" was so profound. I was about 15 feet from the stage, my first trip to the east coast. 3-day pass from PTBM lottery. One of the top 10 moments of my life, captured here. I was with a dear friend, he died last year. I am sobbing. Thank you.

who almost cried

God I love this band.

epic

watching this, even after all these years, made me weep like a baby....

Holy chill bumps. Seeing the boys at the Hampton has been on the top of my venue list for a while now.. got to make the trip from Colorado next time they visit

Awesome! This is the first recording I've encountered that has come close to doing that moment justice. Well done.

Thank you Mike, thank you Phish. Thank you phanners. this is what its all about

tear.... ;(

I literally just got tears in my eyes re-living this moment through your video. Nice job man, this was the best day of my life

The band does not need to sing with that crowd participation. Waves of energy! Thanks for sharing a beautiful moment in Phishstory.

happy 5 year anniversary!

thanks bro

One of the highlights of my life. Still get goosebumps watching. Thanks for sharing.

freaking amazing energy!

Thanks for filming and sharing - I was immediately to your left... pressed up against the rail - man it was packed back there!

that's amazing how the crowd says FLUFF HEADDD at the beginning guitar riff.

this gives me chill bumps

amazing

Thanks for this. Fucking epic way to begin their reunion.

Good call on not replacing the audio.
