[@dane6641]

They played this my first phish show in sacramento. Had never heard the song, left the venue with it completely etched in my brain. Stuck with me, this song is everything for me

[@jasonmuhsmann5670]

Same thing at my first show in Austin I think in 1994 or 1995.

[@adksherm]

I’ve been listening to phish since before I was born in late 90. And this is just is good as any IMO!

[@mero40k]

Just saw Between Me and My Mind on flight back from LV and was so happy to see the four of them still giggling like little school children at the studio after all these years. Amazing.

[@pamflattum5995]

I’ve been to many Phish concerts and I have to say it’s been one of the highlights of my life! Love them!

[@celenabarclay1488]

This song should be our anthem for humanity and unity. Blessed Be one and all!!! Y'all can play this at my funeral or should I say my step into outer realms. Much love to you all!!!

[@absolutelypositively]

Grant Redding they have so many more songs now. Been on board since 94 and have only had the chance to catch 5 shows this ‘century!’ Whereupon I caught around 15 gigs in the 90s. And back then I heard ‘Free’ twice before Billy Breathes came out! Fortunately I get Eugene and The Gorge. It’s like the 90s all over again. Yay to Phish for giving the. Pacific Northwest some love! Just wish they were playing in Autzen Stadium. That’s a magical place. Of course, anywhere in Oregon is pretty f’n magical!!

[@gfuterfas]

@@PurpleUrkle79 Well the Jam at the end of this is pretty good, and they were having fun doing it, but they can't seem to remember which order they play the regular parts in, which is different than the original album version. I mean, Mike even started to sing in the wrong part, Trey's playing things in a different order, and they're all just trying to follow along. Didn't Trey actually sing the same verses twice in this version? Free's one of their easier songs, too. Still love them, though.
