I'm on a random adventure of watching people react to Phish. Everyone else gives blank stares but your comments are apropos. You deserve more views. Respect.

[@calikyd]

I've been binge watching all your Phish reactions... love them! The best band of all time to me. You really seem to get it.

[@pebblesanddirt]

Phish was formed in Vermont, but gigs in nearby MA did play a major role in growing the band

[@jasonvance8234]

came here to say this

[@desmondkisida8280]

If you're enjoying closing your eyes, listening to the lyrics and picturing what Trey's saying in your head, The Lizards would be a great song for you

[@sk8rtim709]

100%

[@FlowerSupply420]

Yep, the GOAT! I saw you leave your body at 20:02. We've all been there my friend...

[@mtmadigan82]

Not clapping dude. Snapping their fingers. Every shows like that between the crowd and band. Best live act of all time. If you have the ability to go see them they play a few days at madison square garden for new years every year. Nye at madison square garden in new york i one of the coolest thingsyou can go see 😊

[@sk8rtim709]

PHISH Vermont's Phinest. Bro....your face,your face at Garlic starts to rot. You were feeling it....❤ Sleeping on it...we been doing the opposite for decades. They are actually Huge,its not the " norm" whatever that is.... I love watching you challenge yourself Keep it UP.✌🙂

[@lookingforowls3647]

If you haven't listened to a show from start to finish yet, I would highly recommend this one, 7/8/94, to break into it. You've got the entire Gamehendge saga in the first set, and a lot of quintessential mid-90s material in set 2. Not their most jammed out show, but there's no weak point in any of it and it really gives you a sense of what they were about and how solid they were when they had that telepathic energy flowing in full force.

[@gingercloud7802]

super visual lyrics! you are right on! and infused with nature - irresistible- so happy you are reviewing Phish!

[@Dr._Mink_Coat]

Please go to some phish shows! you are extremely open minded and you’ll absolute love it These shows and the crowds are like nothing you’ll ever experience anywhere else ❤️ Completely unique experience

[@smittycal]

When the time is right I plan on going for sure. Hopefully they do a show in Las Vegas next year

[@averyprice9422]

They usually do Halloween in Vegas... Or Vayygoooos... A Halloween show for your fist show would be something else..

[@richardkrilljr.8711]

I’m dying for some live music......every fan of good music should do themselves a huge favor & see these guys live.

[@benfortgang3291]

@@smittycal did you end up going?

[@smittycal]

@@benfortgang3291 unfortunately no. I have had some other good shows under my belt though. Buuutt. I’ll be in California for a while. Hopefully I’ll be able to catch some of the west cost tour while I’m out there.

[@jjr007]

Pauses placed in the right places with pertinent comments like yours are fine, unlike some others I have watched recently that just put in random pauses that break the flow.

[@lookingforowls3647]

Another great react! 7/16/94 and 11/14/95 are a couple of my favorites, but you really can't go wrong with any of them. Definitely also check out the one he did at the Beacon just the other week. Kind of a stripped down lounge style version. Unbelievably smooth. Keep the videos coming brother! Peace and love to you.

[@jamesoconnor9027]

Hahaha Marvin: "He just melted the face off the whole front row right now."

[@Lightningph]

Haha!!!

[@whatwouldhousedo5136]

Stash is one the first Phish songs that got me hooked- 22 years later I'm a total Phish head and it's still in my top five songs. And yes, I do the clap. I love the old in-line stage set up and wish they would return to it. It was one of those cool things that made them unique.

[@markjalbert3801]

This particular performance of Stash is what made me a fan

[@stevehildner5630]

I remember , before they really took off and started playing stadiums, we saw them at a tiny venue called Liznor Auditorium. The crowd was so respectful as Trey asked for complete silence. They proceeded to walk to the front of the stage, all four of them, and, without mics, sang Amazing Grace to us, and we could HEAR them. I mean, what other band can get 5,000 people to be utterly silent. That was a turning point for me....

[@RraMakutsi]

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned that this is the Stash that was included on their first official live album release, "A Live One", a year after this performance... also, those psychedelic backgrounds are Marjorie Minkin originals. Minkin is Mike's mom, and a talented abstract painter... I got my own Minkin original on lucite when I bought Mike's solo album "Inside In" years ago (ordered as a limited special edition bundle through the Doniac Schvice!)

[@JackCerro]

In general, these early to mid 1990's Phish shows are tighter with more aggressive rhythm and soloing by Trey. The bass is a bit less prominent compared to post 1996 where the band began to relax a bit more and allow the music to get more expansive.

[@stevehildner5630]

I agree. I had forgotten how organic they sounded back in the '90's. Remember "the language?"

[@thedavephan]

Love this song. Phish had such a vibe.

[@yupperz6494]

Haha I remember my first time seeing stash live and everyone clapping around me. Not knowing the song I was like whoa, how do they know when to clap? It was like being let in on a secret. Love those dudes

[@stevehildner5630]

It is like a secret. They rip down the fourth wall, and everyone who is lucky enough to have been let in on it, feel almost sorry for those who are unaware. They are raw talent, right in front of you, like close-up magic, and you still can't figure out how the trick is done.

[@stevehildner5630]

So, I gotta say. I have seen Phish live almost 50 times and that Stash right there absolutely epitomizes what they are about and why people drive 5 hours to see them. It's absolutely transcendent to watch them, seemingly, paint themselves into a corner, and emerge unscathed. I also gotta give you props, Smitty, you seem to have grasped the idea and concept of this song extremely quickly. Yes, the words are actually nonsense, gritty and oddball, and many cannot get past that, and yes, they goof off on stage, while belting out those flawless, nebulas tension and release phrases. Everything they did from "maybe so, maybe not" was improv, so it's different every time you hear it. If you want to hear an exquisite instrumental, thats more structured, try "Divided Sky"...

[@DanielWeisshaar]

Man, it's really fun to re-experience the joy of listening to something for the first time. Maybe someone else pointed this out about the band's staging, but here's the history I was told. When Phish started first started, many of the dorm rooms, bars, and fraternity house were so small that Fishman’s drum couldn't fit behind the guitar and piano equipment, so they opted to practice and play in a line. Mike (Bass) and Fish will occasionally switch between extreme stage right. I usually try to sit Page (Keys) side, because it’s fun to say, “Page Side, Rage Side” and if the jam gets too “out there” he is usually holding it down.

[@stevehildner5630]

Yah. Funny, I was just thinking...Trey fucks up now and then, but Paige never seems to.

[@thomashoffman92]

You hit the nail on the head about the lyricw for many of their songs being just rhythmic placeholders with fun word play. There are definitely some very moving and heartfelt lyrics in the catalog.

[@thomashoffman92]

Frank Zappa did this too, you should check him out sometime, he was a huge influence on Phish.

[@thomashoffman92]

Also, since you liked Stash and I noticed you were disappointed when it was almost over, check out this version, possibly my favorite one. It contains a motif at the end that is so beautiful and some of the absolute purest Phish I've heard. kzbin.info/www/bejne/j4TGk3yKfs1_o9U

[@bigm8785]

25-year fish fan here, I really appreciate your reaction. You get it.

[@patrickscarpati6305]

Another phantastic reaction, love it!

[@mikeralston8251]

Love ur reactions ! U really are getting the phish vibes my man. Good job and thank you. Try out tweezer from lemonwheel or ghost from Prague

[@Swampfox-jq2sd]

Tweeprise!

[@andydougherty3791]

I keep seeing more and more Phish reactions and people getting excited about them for the first time. I cannot wait for this plague to end so I can get back out on tour and rage face with all these new phans.

[@Smegmadogmatagram]

Dude you’re great I’m very glad i found your channel, you deserve some more recognition! I also appreciate your commentary, you’re spot on. Would love to see you listen to a reba or harry hood

[@stevehildner5630]

Thank you Mr. Minor...

[@MrRezRising]

Ok, this was exactly half my lifetime ago. Went to school in New Hampshire from 88-92. Phish shows were a way of life. Keene NH had great shows, but their MSG NYE shows are some of the best the decade had to offer. You seem like a real musician, Marvin. First time seeing your vids. Good job. Take a few mushrooms and listen to this shit. The music absolutely makes you see crazy stuff. And, you know, the mushrooms. Chalk Dust Torture, Maze, Sample in a Jar.🤘🤘

[@pebblesanddirt]

Good lord that jam was ripping

[@averyprice9422]

Fishman is the one that holds them all together

[@stevehildner5630]

You said it, man. Fishman, like any good drummer, knows when to just stay in the pocket or when to really accent the band. I mean, it's so amazing to watch him play, he moves very little for the amount of rhythm thats flying from his core. And thet f***ing hi-hat, always opening and closing, no matter what else he is up to, and, as a drummer myself, I am very aware exactly how hard that is....aaaah!

[@lt3tretrois]

I was at this show. Amazing night!

[@7wnb]

Love the Phish reactions Marvin, I can see you “get it”! Lol You have to react to: Phish - Martian monster - 7/31/15 - Atlanta, GA (KZbinr LazyLightning55a) I was at this show & it was phenomenal! It was the first time I saw this song live & it became an instant favorite! I think you will definitely appreciate it!

[@bryanwinchell2485]

Glad you loved this one as much as we Phishheads all have for all these years.

[@Saultyness]

Dope reaction vid man! Both genuine and entertaining! Will def watch more.

[@shaunellis3060]

Please do a video on Dave Matthew's Band song Pig or Two Step from a live show. The drummer will blow your mind.

[@MrTahutahu]

Trey with the I'm a jelly fish just flowinG with the ocean current hair 🌊

[@112358dave]

Lol talk about jumping into the deep end.

[@randomperson-dy6kj]

I chuckled so vigorously that I scared my cat off the bed when I heard “my first Phish reaction was Meatstick...” Will have to check that out after finishing this one. :)

[@tgproductions97]

I’ll just say, this whole show is worth listening to. The first set is an entire performance of Gamehendge, essentially the Phish musical. This is special because it’s only ever happened 4 times in 30+ years, this being the most recent. If you’re interested, definitely check out this link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fHK9gGeagc6GsKs

[@ML-ib3oq]

You gotta do Reba ASAP 8/2/03

[@timhaines2894]

Trey is a Jedi!

[@euphegenia]

10:07 you nailed it man. At least for me, the lyrics in Phish are just part of the music. And the music is the only thing that has ever truly mattered with my love for Phish. Hold this sub!

[@Lightningph]

Amazing!!!!

Welcome to Gamehendge Marvin Smith.

Check out Gamehenge aka "The Man Who Stepped Into Yesterday". Reverberates through their content, and so damned imaginative.

[@danielmyers5897]

I will share. Before i even listen. As a big fan of phish and tons of music types, i love that you would do an open minded review. Hope you enjoy

[@cl2984]

Welcome to a lifelong obsession. I recommend that you check out the Tweezer from 1/2/2016 for something beautiful and the Suzy Greenberg from the Clifford Ball for some hot fire. Also, take a large dose of LSD soon and listen... Doors will open.

[@stillwaiting8971]

I watch a lot of reactions from JamelakaJamal, and when his videos get blocked, he puts them up on vimeo. They seem to stay up on that platform.

This is Plato's ideal form of Stash.

Trying to decipher STASH........it's so cute LOLOL

[@cshubs]

We called him Shaggy Dog that tour.

[@XravensunsetX]

here's the thing about Phish - yes, the lyrics are/can be very descriptive, but they can also make no sense whatsoever at the same time =)

[@camtron]

Jedi Trey!

Was it for this my life i sought Maybe so maybe not Control for “smilers” cant be bought The solar garlic (brain) starts to rot Maybe so maybe not Was it for this my life i sought Maybe so....
