I cannot imagine my life without: my wife, son, dog and Phish. Hopelessly in love with this band since my first show in 1991.

[@troyweber841]

Completely agree! Sometimes my wife tells me my prioritization of importance favors Phish too much! 😀

[@posternutbag4415]

YES! Nothing gives me that feeling and satisfaction of a live Phish show. I’m addicted really and i think i might have a problem. At least my bank account thinks so.

[@ddaavvee68]

same bro, but my first show was 1990! this chalkdust was the first show i took my son to 🤙🏼

First time I’ve listened to this band. Very good musicians, tight and loose at the same time. Really dig the guitar players chops.

[@bgrace94]

That’s a good way to describe it. Keep going down the phish rabbit hole on KZbin, there’s plenty of great jams from all eras of the band to explore.

Trey Anastasio is a legend but I have to say Jon Fishman is an unbelievable drummer. I love listening to him carry the jams.

[@posternutbag4415]

Those two are like each other’s musical spirit animals. They were just meant to be playing together. Really the whole band but those two especially. Fish just fills off Treys guitar solos so damn well. And this recent tour was so of if not maybe the best playing from fish ive ever heard. He was just other worldly on that Oak Mountain Soul Planet especially.

I did a few Phish shows sober and it was pretty amazing. a couple I was very high on weed and the weed wore off by the time I got to the lawn. Then the lawn crowd was passing around a pipe and I got high again. 90s into the 00s. Good stuff

One time they moved me and my old transient delinquent granny from Jericho to St. Albans. Then my granny jumped the border into Canada fleeing from us Marshalls. Nobody knows for sure what ever happened to her, but they say that someone fitting her description, a 4' 7" female white version of Shaquille O'neal was seen holding up a post office in Canada years later.

[@ryanmorrissey4087]

It’s interesting how ‘90’s Phish this was never a song that would lead to extended jamming and improvising. Always a tight set opener or closer and played quick and never varied much from the studio version. First time they were invited to play Letterman in ‘94, Dave requested that they play this song. It really has evolved into one of their best jamming vehicles and now can go anywhere; as seen here.

But no peace for Jezmund tonight I plug the distress tube up tight And watch what I say as it flutters away And all this emotion is kept harmless at bay Not to educate somebody's fright

Greatest band of the 90's. I will not apologize for saying it. I'm sure Rolling Stone magazine wants to hunt me down and destroy me for going against their Kurt Cobain agenda but Nirvana doesn't even make my top five. Phish was consistent through the nineties-- studio albums and live performances-- but all the rock journalists want to ignore them. Why? Because they had the audacity to believe there was still a place in rock n' roll for an amazing keyboardist? Because they never took things too seriously? Maybe it's because they never dared to think of themselves as better than their fans. It's disgusting to think of the business model of Rolling Stone magazine right now: Tell young people who weren't alive in the 90's that Nirvana was the best band of that decade. These young people won't listen to the people who lived through that decade when they say otherwise because hey, young people refuse to listen to their elders. Sorry to rant, everybody.
