I was in that crowd somewhere bawling my eyes out, this band is capable of some powerful things

[@RobertKeeleyTV]

Michael! I'm so glad you're covering this sound. Dude, can you picture how excited I am that Trey is using the Rotary and the Zoma reverb on solos!?!?! Blows my mind since you can hear it so distinctly.

[@modelcitizen1977]

I got your Compressor+ because someone told me it could pass for a Ross. They weren't wrong! I never turn it off because it makes everything sound better.

[@miker2429]

just plugged my rotary in, thanks robert!

[@jmwise80]

Got a Halo for Christmas and now I am Andy Timmons.

[@Somethingfromtimmy]

So stoked you were there ! I was too and it was epic, didn’t realize you did Phish NYE 🎉, I honestly thought this run was best in a few years but tough call they always crush new years and Halloween runs

[@adambrunner9462]

@@RobertKeeleyTVHey Robert, I've been deep diving Rotary pedals for a couple months now and was super stoked to see you dropped a new one after the "I Get Around" project. When I went on your webpage and saw Trey was using Rotary and Zoma I was sold on both, but they are currently sold out (Rotary). Hope you restock soon I'm snagging them ASAP to complete a new board after a foray into the digital realm for a year!

[@muskybites505]

I’ve listened to Hood’s for 30 years now and this may be the finest. The song is a musical journey and a real treat at a show.

[@Papakittymeowmeow]

Mr Palmisano!! I love watching your reactions to the phish from VT. I’ve been seeing this band for over 20 years now, (which is not very long compared to some fans hahaha), and it just makes me so very happy to watch your different expressions as the soundtrack to my life washes over you, in a way it has over me countless times over most of my life. Thanks for doing this one. I appreciate the love you give to Jon fishman. If you’re unfamiliar with their early years, you may be fascinated to listen to some interviews or read some books that cover the listening exercises they used to practice learning and knowing one another. What we are hearing every night when they take the stage are four men coming together as 1, four men that have put so much blood, sweat, tears, joy, pain…all of it, into their craft together for over forty years. You are hearing their lives. And they take the stage and invite us in every night. And it’s the most beautiful thing I’ve ever been a part of. Thanks brother. Hope to see you at a show.

[@Conroy13]

Hey Michael, it’s Conner. I sent the first recommend you took for Phish years ago (Free). Super happy you made another video and enjoyed the NYE shows. They sounded great this run. Also amazing to hear you really start to understand the commitment / patience level required of the astute listener and how that “texture of sound” develops and evolves together through collective listening. It’s truly wizardry. Cheers Michael!

[@YEM_]

That video was how I got turned on to Michael and playing guitar! You sent me on a journey, brother. Thank you!

[@jayf54]

Went to all 4 shows. Incredible run! Def do more PHish!

[@BryanScheinkopf]

Michael, been listening to this band for most of my adult life and the words you used here are spot on. What a gift. To each other, to the fans, to the world. Teared up a little bit watching this one! Thanks for sharing.

[@alan-daniel]

wait you were at the GAMEHENDGE show!?! Really glad to see you open to doing Phish again! There's nothing better than a good Hood peak

[@louiscassis3426]

Love me some Phish! Went to my first show in a ballroom at Colorado State in the early ‘90s. ‘91 or ‘92. Been a fan ever since. Saw them maybe 8-10 times. Haven’t been since the early ‘00s. Need to get back. Seen some recent clips and it feels like they’re really hot right now.

[@adambrunner9462]

i have many, many, many favorite songs, but Harry Hood IS my favorite song. Seen it live more time than I can remember and every time it brings out emotions that I can't phsically handle. End up in a puddle every time. Simply out of this World. The Besst! They are the Masters and 30 years later once in a while I'm still reminded that! Thanks Michael😁

[@ancientsouloutdoors4088]

I would love to see them sometime. I hear they put on a fantastic show.

[@suckthehead1]

Yes u should def go see them live been over 100 shows and still can’t get enough best band on the planet

[@Papakittymeowmeow]

As someone who has seen them a lot, you are correct my friend. I hope you get to one as soon as you can❤️

[@ththejackjumper]

For those that may not know, Harry Hood was the mascot of the Hood Dairy company. Hence the line 'Where do you go when the lights go out' referencing the refrigerator light. Also 'You can feel good, good about Hood' was their catchphrase back in the day. Great reaction!

[@averyprice9422]

And Mr Minor was the previous resident at their house and they kept getting his mail..

[@Winstonrodney6989]

Thanks for the Phish lore! 🤘

[@vonarndt111]

I was floored when I watched this live. This is a real treat watching you reaction video. You make many excellent points. Thanks for this

[@RobertKeeleyTV]

We got to repair a couple of his Digitech Whammy II pedals that he uses for pitch bending. He uses it for half step and whole step bends you hear at 11:06

[@bryanwinchell2485]

I went back and clocked the sustain and it's more than a minute, try 1 minute 20 seconds (from 16:15 to 17:35---when he first briefly drops off of it and then five seconds later really comes out of it.. LOVE it!).

[@AndrewJDuddy]

Was there too brother. So much fun. Phish on NYE beats anything. Ive had "Ahhhhh, ah ah THUNDER" stuck in my head all week. What about that Whats the Use and First Tube. So much energy and excitement from Trey. Just a wonderful night. Also this Hood was fantastic. So glad the phish is still doing it all these years later at such a high level. FYI the jam started after the Thank You Mr Hood vocal when it got quiet. The Hood jam is always beautiful but never exactly the same. You talked about them listening to each other which is exactly what Trey says. He said you should never hear or listen to yourself on stage. Always be listening to the other guys because someone always has a musical idea.

[@JFrankMusic]

I was there both 12/30 and 12/31. So awesome! Beautiful song & band.

[@euphegenia]

So glad someone is reacting to this. My first thought was it's the best Hood in the last 15 years (better than 7/23/16). If anyone has a better one, I'm all ears.... Also: so glad Michael is reviewing Phish again!

[@Balfourization]

My favorite hood I’ve heard 100%

[@halhansen4278]

I'm a bit partial because it was a birthday show for me, but I LOVED the 10/26/24 Hood up in Albany. That said, this one probably topped it.

[@jeffbrown321]

Love your comments about the maturity, and how the band and the audience allow them to play this way... like you said, so much of music is about the next note and the next riff. Phish asks us to be present and enjoy the moment, and wait for that next note until it's ready to be played. (btw, you almost killed me when you paused right there, lol 🤣)

[@driftwood52hifeelsn80]

The jamming between page and trey was phenomenal. Spent my last hour of 2024 sitting by myself in a dark room listening, and this one got me there. Glad you picked it.

[@AndrewJDuddy]

Trey and Page are basically one mind. They somehow get better playing together all the time.

[@RecoveryAdvocates]

Phish was my top favorite band that made me love music growing up. The vast array of capabilities, the stage presence, the built in improv, i mean come on. Glad to see you review them

[@Dieseldiesel84]

YES PHISH REVIEWS ARE BACK

[@tmcogs76]

Interesting to hear your perspective on this song. I get goosebumps every time I hear Hood, at that peak before ‘you can feel good about Hood.’

[@page4prez]

'Look at that pedalboard' - The phish channel just posted a rig rundown of Mike's new bass rig... it's pretty wild. Check it out! kzbin.info/www/bejne/b6TEpp6Aj8h8qc0

[@Thatoneguyfromthere]

The sustain is controlled feedback. He has spots on stage he knows that will feedback and uses it like a, well, Jedi.

[@runningturtle4815]

Best band EVER ! Caught Alpine Valley, Deer creek, & Grand Rapids. Then @ Modgreen I was either heavily overdosed on LSD (without my consent) or I happened to have somesort of Severe Brain injury. I'm STILL Recovering from this today. Just thought I'd share. Peace & Much Love to All our Phish head's out there ! This is Awesome ! Thank you Michael !

[@slowwaterdrifting]

Glad your feeling good about hood Mike!

[@LKNDIY]

Best band to ever do it

[@bradcrabtree9276]

Happy to see Phish back here. What happened to the "cease and desist" from Phish management?

[@ameadors11]

Michael dips his toes back into PH world… I’m tempted to say something snide (as we persnickety Phishheads are want to do online), but it’s actually heartening to hear you went to NYE! Maybe you’ve finally found that nice balanced middle ground with the PH and us Phishhead trolls. I was here for all the videos and the turmoil a few years ago now. I still hate that you pulled them all down because those were such good times (and reaction videos) until it all blew up. Appreciate the video, Mike...even if you did pause it at all the wrong times lol! I’m still not convinced you fully get it but keep going to shows, and maybe one day it will click. I am a fan of your work. Happy 2025 to you and yours, Michael…

[@YoyoDaddyO]

You nailed it. This band is so attuned to each other. Just absolutely remarkable. Blows me away

[@tecreates2384]

“This is our most major song!” Trey Anastasio, to Mike Gordon. MG: “ha!! Yeah” (Edit) Mike just released his rig video. His pedal board is mostly “Meeeeooow”

[@adambrunner9462]

@@tecreates2384 Major key bliss!

[@stacybenstockklein449]

Harry Hood is the quintessential Phish song!

[@euphegenia]

Confirmed.

[@JBT42884]

Pretty sure. It's You Enjoy Myself ,but who cares.

[@matthewshubert8495]

It's so difficult to say "the" quintessential because there are a few I'd say. However, I always use it as the clearest and best example to showcase a Phish song and what they do. It's the best example (IMO) of how they play with the structure of a song, they do it to most of course, but Hood is loose so every one is truly different and unique. Yet the song remains the same.

[@AndrewJDuddy]

YEM and Hood will battle it out for all eternity. Its like the battle between bliss Phish and general virtuosity

[@stacybenstockklein449]

@@AndrewJDuddy I can get on board with this

[@jlinsenmaier]

i love watching you "get it" in real time. There is some real beauty in a lot of their songs. Phish evokes a lot of emotion that you cant really explain, but its the best feeling. Rock on Michael!

[@Jestinphish420]

Jon Fishman is so ungodly great at drumming. Every single aspect.

[@McGuinness1313]

Best in the world at what he does 🤤

[@timbauza1370]

“Who does that?” The amount of times I’ve said that listening to this band over the past 30 years.

[@eyeandmind]

Phish songs are like stories with all their different parts. The stories are always different and it varies on how long it can take to get to the parts, but it’s so much fun listening to what they do as they progress through the parts until the end. Some people are turned off cause the songs are too long but when you know the different parts and what they are doing to get there, it’s awesome.

[@cvachon7]

Harry Hood 11/22/97 will change your life.

[@bryanharrell4059]

Challenge accepted.

[@oliverchapman51177]

Phish will change your attitude

[@bryanharrell4059]

@@oliverchapman51177 Yup. Just did it and forgot I was at this show! Thanks for inspiring so many memories. This run was one of the serious peaks in their musicality, my opinion anyway. They were really hitting their stride. We'll, their 2nd or 3rd stride...So many epics on this run. I seem to remember a Halley's Comet that just blew everyone's face off. Trey was all about that looper, too. Was so good seeing them at the mother ship. Oh the fuzzy memories. Hampton was a home and having seen them in clubs and kind of growing up with them, it was a proud type of feeling witnessing them blow the roof off of Hampton. A real " they made it moment" at every Hampton show. And you're absolutely right. Life changing indeed. Thanks for the nudge to listen, my friend.

[@randomperson-dy6kj]

Obligatory I was at that show. :) Caught all the Hampton shows from '95-'98. Oh, to be young and totally free again.

[@fuffydingo]

You can feel good, good about Hood!!

[@joshphillips9033]

The compressor also plays a large part in the feedback, in addition to the aforementioned hollow body and tube screamers, although I’m not sure the second one is on here. I’m a little misty that was absolutely sick

[@jamescurtis8584]

JESUS H CHRIST THAT WAS NUTTTTS

[@angeloandino8472]

Thank you for sharing phish Michael. To me this song represents death and the beauty of the life we get to live everyday so we can feel good about hood in the end.❤️ happy new year

[@Tognar]

17:43 Glorious feedback! I love watching how he finds the note, the spot on the stage, the bloom. It’s quite fickle and it can run away from you and turn from warm feedback to shill squeal in an instance. Notice how he stays very still. I mean… it’s a master class.

[@moflow99]

1990... the year i bought Lawn Boy and Blues Traveler's self titled debut album. I wore those 2 cd's out 😁

[@fuffydingo]

@@moflow99 Same!

[@augustwest5487]

😂 Harry hood is probably one of the hardest songs to learn, let alone teach. Phish really nailed that Harry hood that night ❤

[@Guitargate]

It's insane. You'd really have to start and stop 600 times. And I'm sure they have like 100 variations lol

[@Headroom1]

That's Phishes M.O. friends. The end jam is always just D, A, G which is the easy part imo. But the way way they build up such a simple progression is just epic! Thanks for doing this. Hope to see more Phish again soon 🤙

[@augustwest5487]

@@Guitargate yes they have way more than 100 variations of HH. More like hundreds. Love the channel and what you do for the music community ❤️

[@jessoftherocks]

his pedal chain has two tube screamers if im not mistaken, and the cabinet he had built. his whole rig is just legendary

He has that trainwreck amp now... so sick

[@sandstronaut]

​@@averyprice9422he's been using the Trainwreck since 2021, and used the Trainwreck and Boogie Mark IIIs simultaneously in 2024, but for this run at MSG he was back to only using the Mark IIIs.

[@sandstronaut]

I was there! That minute and a half note and the shredding that came afterwards blew the roof off the place. The whole run was epic, and I think 12/29 and 12/30 were the strongest. Glad you made it to NYE and had a great time. I agree that they've been especially on fire this year!

[@robertr2953]

Awesome see you doing another Phish song! I was there New Year's Eve as well. SOOOOO fun! Great night, great show!

Commitment to listening! The more you listen you can train yourself to listen to the band as a whole and at the same time listen to each individual member.

[@JT96708]

What a wonderful thing to wake up to. 😊

[@jada90]

Phish Harry Hood NYE reaction dropped 5 minutes ago? Let's go!!!

[@Piperredworm]

Phish is amazing ( & my favorite) artists! If ever you get lost within Phish, Fishman will lead you home. The key is listening! I appreciate your listening skills. They listen to each other, and move/share the "lead" energy across the stage. It may be the "sustainiac" tool that keeps those Trey notes going?.... Page McConnell, Mike Gordon, Jon Fishman, Trey Anastasio have colluded to make our lives infinitely more enjoyable.

[@Phishheadie]

I was lucky enough to catch this night and New Year's Eve both nights were so much fun this band is ridiculous read Icculus

[@AndrewJDuddy]

Phish unploaded the NYE gag for your enjoyment. That pillow Jets was awesome. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aofLdmWtoLSEldEsi=k-MDzCk6vW40phRP

[@YEM_]

With the infinite sustain, the hollow body guitar allows feedback to carry the note. I can accomplish something similar on my fred instruments replica, in my home office with just studio monitors and playing through line 6 pod go (amp sim) .... Using like a knockoff Ross compressor and the green tube screamer turned up. Once you get the note to feedback, you can wiggle it forever. So cool!

[@jonfeeshman]

You can feel good! Thank you phanner! Subbed!

[@theworldofchris6736]

I was at this show, was equally mind blown

[@barbarjinx3802]

I was at all 4 shows. Harry Hood was definitely the highlight of night 3 but there were some really great moments. But yeah that particular NYE show may be my personal favorite I’ve seen. Magical band.

[@TheRealLange21]

I was there too! Great show.

[@juliusellison7510]

BEST WEDNESDAY EVER

[@scottshand8559]

So there are some bands that I recognize as just other-worldly like The Grateful Dead, Umphry's McGee, The Tedeschi Trucks Band and Phish as another. But there are some songs and some versions of them that I just can't stick with for more than 5 minutes or so. I'm not saying these bands aren't fantastic - they are. I think my brain (via my ears) has some sort of limiters that make me reach for the dial after a while. This being said, when Trey Anastasio is in the pocket and running I am always just blown away. He's one of those players that goes somewhere else to play while he is standing right in front of you on stage. Great video as always Michael, thank you!

[@briandelauro3471]

Damn, missed this to make sure I made the 12:07 train and weeks later it’s still killing me; didn’t see Hood coming as 2nd song in encore…. saw this come up on my feed and cringed thinking of what I did, but couldn’t not listen, gotta feel good bout Hood!

[@boysherman]

I was there for the 30th!

[@TK-fk4po]

I see them at least twice every YEMSG run and caught 28 and 29 this time around. The 28th had a few good ones but the 29th was fantastic. Of course Hood is ALWAYS good. This one probably better than most with the build. He usually holds one note for a long time - and when I saw them a few years ago, I timed him holding that note for a full two minutes! This song is such a wonderful uplifting peak that it is just about impossible not to feel good while listening!

[@YEM_]

Immediately paused what i was listening to (phish Sirius xm) to watch!

[@jasonmayes3107]

We all feel good about this hood.
