Trey must've been coked up on this night. He went OFF.

Tell you right now Seth is the best guitarist you never heard of.

Ahhh i remmeber trading for this vid back in the day before guitar tabs were all over the internet and learning how to play the guitar parts. Great quality!

10:55 for transcription purposes

He's pulling of insane jamming and fixing his glasses at the same time. Somebody get this guy an optometrist.

I honestly think if I could choose to be at one single show in Phish history, it would be this one. There’s just such an intense energy that is so unique. Whether it was the tiny club, or the Bittersweet Motel cameras on stage, or the supposed weed brownies the band consumed before the show (I think that was this show anyway?). Whatever the reasons, I just can’t fathom being in that little club on that night.

9:33? Anyone else see that?

This version of Antelope is a fkn masterpiece. People frequently associate how phish accelerates this song with how good or intense a version is, and that is not the case.... In this version the band completely dominates and controls the song, which allows them to fully explore its possibilities, still completely smashing its insane intensity. I wish the band had a chance to hear what they did to this song in this evening.... The response of the crowd to the end of this version was an entire MSG in total shock. I remember people's jaws wide open, speechless. This is literally "out of control". Insane Antelope.

Such a beautiful version of Velvet Sea. So profound. I wish there were better videos of this show available.... This was such an emotional and beautiful show. The NYE pre-everglades... Phish (95-00) and its fans were both at their peak. Antelope from this night was the best version I ever heard. What a great show this was.

Who owns the onstage camera footage?!

Absolutely RIPPING. Any other suggestions they’re playing at this level? I’ve been focused on late 90s (island tour)

Best summer ever...

this is medicinal grade

SO NASTY!!!! This is my third time listening to this one tonight, since I just discovered there was video on KZbin. I was listening to the audio at work earlier, and sent the link to a buddy to gas him up for the Sphere shows in April. Phish then, now and forever!!!

look at those lights!

Phonograph Song by Piper Madison OverviewLyricsListenArtists It's 12:15 and I'm still in pajamas I got shit to do but I don't really wanna And I'm just now eating breakfast, is that bad? I hope not For once all I wanna do is not focus on that Should brush my teeth, didn't wanna scare away the loneliness, but Maybe it left when it when it realized I hadn't showered in Twenty-four hours, enough time for an epiphany I realize the demons that I'm hiding from, they live with me There's a black hole Where my heart used to lay In my chest, beaten to death All that's left is a phonograph Playin' music that could be The theme to a movie that no one ever sees Hey! Woah-oah-oah-oah Woah-oah-oah-oah Woah-oah-oah-oah-oah It's been a new year now for twenty-two days The honest truth is one lie we never say I haven't done anything I promised I would do I didn't make my resolutions because, really, what's the use? One month down, eleven more to go I don't wanna waste away, but they have prepared the tombstone So grab me up, preserve my skin and bone while I Take a vacation to understand my soul There's a black hole Where my heart used to play With the monsters, I must've scared them away All that's left is an old phonograph Playin' memories I forgot that I had Hey! Woah-oah-oah-oah Woah-oah-oah-oah Oo-oo-oo-ooh Woo-oo-oo-ooh Oo-oo-oo-ooh Woah-oah-oah-oah-oah-oah I prefer loneliness over Sympathetic phoniness To jog your memory Who's running your mind? History The life of the common red wiggler worm seems simple upon first observation. A typical day in the compost heap for the red wiggler consists of drawing organic material into its gaping maw with the aid of a protractible pharynx. Effectively swallowed, the unwitting organic matter passes into the crop, where it is briefly stored before moving into the gizzard. There, it is smashed and ground into smaller and smaller pieces until sliding into the intestine where digestive juices dissolve and extract the useful energy. Ultimately the red wiggler disposes of the “useless” waste as a tubular cast of its sphincter. Of course what is useless as an energy source to the worm is very useful as fertile soil for the farmer. The farmer uses the enriched soil to grow new vegetables. Many of these vegetables in turn end up back in the compost heap to provide energy for the worm. The entire process is microcosm of the never-ending cycle of life and the exchange of energy. Piper, Piper, the red red worm of the Gamehendge compost heap, plays a similar role in the exchange of energy between Phish and its fans. The organic matter (listener) is unwittingly drawn into the gaping maw of the worm by a delicate pharynx wherein Page pours gentle piano rivulets over Trey’s “lightly strummed, simple chord progression.” The time in the crop is typically brief, allowing for Mike and Jon to settle into an exponential groove where the pace quickens and the pressure increases. ”Piper” - 7/6/98, Prague, Czech Republic Cast into the gizzard of the worm, the muscular bass and drums pound the listener into smaller and smaller pieces while the maniacally repetitive yet glorious wash of keyboard and guitar pushes us onward into the intestine. Tom Marshall’s simple (yet certainly profound) lyrics repeated seemingly ad infinitum create a fifth instrument, which helps the worm to absorb the useful energy from the digested listener. Some listeners describe the voyage through the digestive system of the worm to be akin to sailing. In fact, throughout the repeated verse of the song, the distant wail of the siren “Henrietta” can often be heard to proclaim just that (“I’m Sailing”). Finally discarded as a “useless” cast, the listener is typically spent yet enriched at the same time, imbued with the intoxicating glow of the Kava Kava root (Species, Piper Methysticum), fertile soil ready for replanting. After bursting forth from its egg at “Bradstock,” the neophyte “Piper” made its public Phish debut on 6/14/97 in Dublin, Ireland. The short, simple, red wiggler worm appeared frequently during the rest of the European leg of the summer tour, gaining somewhat in size and stamina while remaining a “radio friendly” length. “Piper” was conspicuously absent from the two Amsterdam gigs which featured multiple references to riding the worm, highlighted by “Wormtown,” a demonic variation of Steve Miller’s “Swingtown,” including a warning from Trey about the monstrous worms in the canals of Amsterdam. As if summoned by the black magic of the night before, “Piper” squirmed from the compost heap onto the stage to open the the next show in Nuremberg on 7/3/97. Fall ‘97 saw “Piper” rise from its burrow and grow into a voracious monster space worm; don’t miss the powerhouse versions offered in essential Phish shows on 12/6/97 Auburn Hills, MI and 12/12/97 Albany. ”Piper” - 10/20/98, Sessions at West 54th, New York, NY Fattened and lengthened by the Bearsville Story of the Ghost sessions - though ultimately not making the cut for that release - “Piper” grew more bold and experimental throughout the late 90s. The 4/3/98 Island Tour version featured a closing jam segment which set the improvisational bar for future worms to attempt to surpass, something that many have done since. For pure otherworldly improvisation where “Piper” escapes the compost heap entirely, seek out 8/8/98 Merriweather and 10/31/98 Vegas, the latter released as Live Phish 16. Fat and juicy worms which were played in subsequent years include the fiery 25-minute 7/18/99 Oswego performance which was used as the base for the Farmhouse studio version of the song; the magically psychedelic “Piper” from Portland, ME (12/8/99); the glorious swamp thing found deep in the recesses of The Show at Big Cypress; the worm that digested Godzilla on 6/10/00 Tokyo, a 21+ minute excursion that anchored a five-song first set tsunami; 9/11/00 Great Woods, over 23 minutes and sandwiched by sublime versions of “Twist” and “What’s the Use?”; and the “Piper” which dropped from the beak of “Birds of a Feather” at Deer Creek on 7/12/00. ”Piper” - 12/30/11, New York, NY A good gauge of how much Phish likes and respects its devastating worm is their selection of “Piper” as the song with which they concluded the hiatus (and perhaps the champagne with which they toasted the New Year). The 12/31/02 MSG “Piper” really set the tone for 2003 - it crackles with the electricity of the moment; it is tight, yet molten and fiery, and somehow manages to find its way back to the burrow. 2003 was truly The Year of the Worm, with almost every version worthy of praise. 2/16/03 Las Vegas was a lively techno-boogie swirl that features several breakdown jams and has a diseased tail. The high-energy 2/22/03 Cincinnati worm that melts into a groove so deep that it almost reaches “Seven Below” before soaring skyward into the “Weekapaug” that got lost the night before. Summer 2003 witnessed one of the greatest back-to-back-to-back displays of improvisational greatness within a single song in Phish’s history, all opening second sets, all over twenty minutes, each in their own way stunning and essential listening: 7/19/03 Alpine Valley (chilling, with a “Tweezer Reprise” tease); 7/26/03 Atlanta (more twists and turns than a murder mystery, plus a “Can't You Hear Me Knocking” tease); and 7/31/03 Camden (an emotional roller coaster that pushes and then erases psychic boundaries). A particularly hard rocking 20th anniversary show rendition that gets hot enough to cause blistering before petering out into ambient noise. The most deeply burrowing, exploratory, and at over 32 minutes by far the longest version of “Piper” to date - the bootlace worm (Lineus longissimus) - took place on 6/19/04 at SPAC and featured a “Tweezer Reprise” jam. “Piper” made only one emergence from the soil during Phish’s breakup - a solo acoustic version by Trey at the 11/16/05 TAB Boston gig; acoustic aficionados will also want to seek out the only acoustic Phish version, from the 10/18/98 Bridge School benefit.

A “Ghost” to remember

Trey was possessed in the 90s! Man was insane!! Would have loved to be at this show!

Phish was just untouchable in the 90's! Another level! Good times! Bring back Head banging Trey!!
