WE NEED MORE PHISH, DOUG!!!!! Thank you for this. I first saw phish live in 1992 at Saratoga Performing Arts Center(SPAC) opening for Santana...458 shows later, here I sit. Welcome to the phamily my man. Worth a very deep dive. They played their first show in March of '83. The road has been long, and it's been an incredible experience and journey. The juice is well worth the squeeze.

I went to that 1992 SPAC Santana show w Phish opening also. That was my first Phish show but I was there for Santana (who killed it btw) and I remember seeing all these Phish fans who got up and left after their set before Santana started. I was mad and thought it was disrespectful to Santana. I didn't know Phish at all and I think I liked it but I didn't get it at that show. A year later I was living in Denver and I saw them at their first Red Rocks show and left with my jaw on the floor.

You nailed it RE: ensemble. I don't consider what they do as soloing, one may take the lead but it typically is not a solo it is a part of a whole. I love how, especially these days, the instruments combine and the blend to the point where it is hard to distinguish amongst them. It blends so well that solo just doesn't describe it properly.

Jumping around in the crowd.. as a composer/musician, INCREDIBLE. Find the gems with the time signature differences, sneaky ends of a songs into the start of a new ones.. you never know what version you'll get, it's always different. A huge reason why we're all still here. Jazz fusion is 100% accurate, into all genre's. Music addiction.

Yes! So glad you're coming back to Phish. I've loved your other two Phish videos, have watched them several times. This wasn't the smoothest performance of the composed sections (it's one of the harder songs to play perfectly on the guitar; I've been trying for quite a while), but the song's great. Glad this was one you covered, but it's one of the more difficult for the average person to get into, IMO. As for the lyrics, we actually just got some fresh lore for the song on New Year's (this past one, on 12/31/23): the eponymous Reba is apparently the cousin of a major character in Phish-dom, Jimmy. If you happen across this comment, you really should add "The Curtain (With)" to your list. I think you'd really like it.

That was me and my wife and our crew chanting for a DIFFERENT Phish song, "Tela" ("TE-LA! TE-LA!") at the start of this. Trey whipped his head around (he was already silently strumming the chords of the next song they'd play that night, "Birds of a Feather," about to count it off), heard us, and started playing "Reba"! It was hilarious, since we love this song too, but it wasn't actually what we were chanting and requesting! Oh well, we got this ridiculous "Reba" instead which was the perfect call for that moment in the show. The part you said reminds you of jazz fusion really reminds me of a Bach 2-part invention between the bass and the piano/guitar, with the piano and guitar playing a canon at the unison on the repeat. The reason you're hearing the jam as IV-V is because the song overall is in Bb! And that jam is an Eb Lydian jam with a lot of emphasis on the A-natural from Trey.

The large majority of this is through-composed excepting the lengthy guitar solo (when you correctly noted it may be entering a more improvisational section), and the audience knows all the changes and is waiting for every note. Re: lyrics, Phish really embrace silliness in lyrics; it doesn't always really have to matter what they mean, it just matters that they're fun to hear and sing along to. Super fun reaction, love the variety of artists you choose.

Oh cool, I went to this whole 3-day run! This was in a period where their crowd sizes were relatively small - I think there were only 12-13k people at the show, and wasn’t sold out. Also I could take the 4 train home each night and sleep in my own bed. The Chalkdust Torture from this run was instantly well-reknowned, but the Bathtub Gin is great as well and nobody talks about it.

The Chalkdust was a turning point in a way. It really marked Phish 's return to deep Type II jams with multiple key changes and sections of pure evil, pure bliss and everything in between. And the Tweezer that night...it wasn't the best ever, but the place it found in that second set was perfect. The crowd lost its collective mind when it dropped. So sweet.

Reba is one of those songs that they stick to the script every time up until that last section that goes from IV to V which is improvised. Fantastic versions if I may are New Years Eve ‘93 in Worcester Mass and Clifford Ball ‘96. Thanks Doug

We had shared some kind bud on ski lift towards the top. We all knew the lyrics and as younger guys could spit it out pretty fast. Then whistling the last section together. Great memories in such a beautiful place with a head full of bud and Phish in our brains. The constructed parts of this song with all the changes have always reminded me of Zappa. What do you think??

I took some time off here and there, but I still catch them as often as I can, hopefully in Vegas at the sphere in April. You have lots of opportunities to see them considering where you live; they play New York City a lot. Anyway, that was a lot of fun. Thank you for putting a smile on my face this morning.

Really really enjoyed your commentary Doug. I have always wished I had someone who could explain the more technical aspects of the band (my music theory class from college isn't as fresh in my mind as it once was) and I could let you in on many of the idiosyncratic aspect. Just one example is called the "big ball jam" where each band member had a specific ball which bounces around the crowd and each time someone hits it, a corresponding note would be played, essentially allowing the audience to participate in the jam. PS Harry hood is another great composition that also functions as a strong jam vehicle. And if you get the chance to see the band live, GO! You will not regret it!!

FYI a lot of Phish’s earlier stuff, lyrically, has no meaning whatsoever. Their aim is not the words having meaning, but rather the words making sense phonetically. See “The Mango Song”. They were so committed to the music having meaning on its own, that many of the early lyrics are gobbledigook.

Great video. To be honest, these old classic complex Phish pieces were much stronger in 1994, 1995 and 1996, both in composed sections and jams. Randall's is good for the era but they play it much slower in the modern years.

Phish has “type 1” & “type 2” jams. The former being more within a defined structure and the latter being free flowing & very, very open. Different songs have different spaces for different types of jams. I’m only a lowly clarinet player so far from an expert but I think those are the terms used & that’s what’s going on

You gotta check out the version of Reba from 10/31/94 it’s the best they’ve ever played it Also check out any version from 1994 of colonel forbins ascent > fly famous mockingbird. That’s another great example of phish’s compositional genius Also a lot of phish early songs lyrically are campy and have a play on words aspect to it. Not always about the meaning of the words but more the sound the words make

Reba kills-interesting that it was meant to be an ‘unfinished’ piece, but I makes sense. It has always seemed like a a vehicle for a wonderful, mellow jam after all kinds of technical switches. It remains interesting after infinite live incarnations and that’s why I love this band! I’m glad you do too

The instrumental portion was used by The Weather Channel during their Local On The 8’s often in the early 90’s! It was so freaking awesome to hear Phish on TWC! 😂

Reba 10/31/94. The jam section is incredible. Trey really attacks it with an immense intensity and the band is firing on all cylinders at that time.

Also, on the composed piece of Reba, you missed "the chase". The first time through, keys and guitars play it at the exact same time. The second time through, the piano plays it a half second before the guitar plays it a half second later, nite for note. The guitar is chasing the piano note for note by a half second. Brilliance.

​@@randomperson-dy6kj Yeah... I wouldn't have suggested a track from 2014 for this listen. Definitely should've done a nice 1993 version. I imagine he would have been much more impressed (tempo, precision, etc)

@@DJKernelForbin Exactly. I'll be first to admit I'm a jaded 1.0er but I really cannot see (hear) or understand why people are saying how good they are now. I love the band. Always will. I got old, they got old. It is what it is. They are ok now, but nothing like they were in the 90's. Nothing. When I was seeing the Dead in the 90's, we knew it wasn't anything like '74 or '77. And that's fine. They got old. It happens. But we certainly weren't saying how great they sounded, that they were playing better than ever, or how a new live version of a song was 'best one ever,' or any of that. The best Phish will always be Page banging away on the grand piano, Machine Gun Trey, Cactus in his big haired-glory, and Fish tripping face and still killing it. 1.0 in untouchable. On the flip side, if Doug is impressed with this mediocre Reba, imagine how he'll react when he hears a classic, tight, impeccable one. :) Sorry for the rant, it's been a tough day.

These make me laugh so hard, Doug gets it. For those scoring at home, everything up until 10:08 are the composed part of the song with almost zero improv. What follows is what we call the Bliss Jam which has all the improv, but usually follows the mood & feel of this one although occasionally breaks into other spaces.

9:17 you have a little classical fugue going between guitar and keyboard, right where you commented about it reminding you of Jazz fusion. Early in the song when you commented on it not really repeating, it really was but it was repeating where each repetition became a shorter time signature like a iteratively reducing pattern. It's a big long composed section to that slow blissy improv jam at the end basically. That's Reba.
