Phish - 10.31.94 - Reba - Part II

from Glens Falls Civic Center, Glens Falls, NY

[@jeffsal]

this may very well be the most glorious piece of live music ever recorded

[@panoptijohn]

My wife has been instructed to play the final 10 minutes of this Reba at my funeral. I prefer it to all of the great Rebas in the Phish canon, including the epic Montreal performance on 7/6/94. Since the day I first heard it, it has been my favorite piece of improvised music. After nearly 20 years, it still gives me goosebumps and nearly moves me to tears. If you get it, you get it. If you don't, I feel bad for you.

[@SKIADK]

My hometown of Glens Falls. The Reba and Divided Sky are still the best versions ever IMO, this last section of Reba is beyond words, one of my all time favorites Reba 10.31.94 Halleys 12/7/99 Harry Hood 11.22.97 7 below -> Ghost Albany NY 11-09 Bathtub Gin Great Went 97 My 5

[@zacharykrenn2963]

@John Porter I get it. I've watched these 10 minutes so many time but never scrolled into the comments. Nice to read yours. These ten minutes are my favorite improv piece too. They play off each other so well and then at like 6 minutes let Trey lead while still doing so much in the background. They all know their roles so well, and the roles change constantly. I've only seen 3.0 due to age but I've been listening to this reba since high school. It has happiness, tragedy, jealousy, heartbreak, love and so much more all in one.

[@mentalwill]

this hit me in the feelballs

[@AT-dp2ym]

29 years later and this is just as incredible as it was that night. Phish in the second half of 94 is really something special.

[@johnbenigni6729]

This is THE Reba

[@wizzlemane7308]

Simply the best.

[@KM-lh8uu]

Really like page is this one...always makes a great reba

[@jackeminor]

I don't know that I've ever seen Trey so focussed on his guitar and playing. It really shows. That solo leaves nothing more to be desired.

[@gironda11]

I dont care how much more technical any other players out there are compared to Trey. This has to be the most well-paced, masterfully constructed solo guitar piece in recorded history. I will take that one to the grave. Nobody can convince me otherwise.

[@buckeyekef]

The most powerful reba I have had the joy of listening to

[@StephaneNestel]

BEST REBA EVER!! really insane thanks for posting this must have been an amazing show!

[@Peter-em7wl]

This is ….. IT! 🎉7 mins is the sound

[@1arm72]

12/7/97 one of the best rebas

[@FluffityAntelope]

the lick mike starts at 2:25 always makes me smile, it's so simple yet playful

[@gianc123]

Trey's hair and his getup are amazing. His guitar playing isn't too shabby either!

[@arlhartley]

my, oh my, oh my, i need a high quality recording of this show... the entire setlist is sick..... Thank you so much for posting this!!!

[@vpaczkowski]

94 was definately the best years

[@StewPhillips]

absolutely incredible, thanks for this one silverchair it's probably my favorite version

[@StephaneNestel]

thanks a lot for posting this !!!!!!!!!!!!!!amazing reba

[@jmlrugby11]

The quintessential Reba.

[@christopherbaxter7701]

LOVE IT!!!

[@LakeMorehouse]

5:47-5:49 are solely the greatest sounds to ever come out of Trey's guitar. Wow. Not human.

[@taylor410ce]

WOW! amazing.

[@dzzy121]

what a great night, i remember it so well. drove quite a ways for the show, scored a ticket outside (40 bucks) and was blown away! 15 years ago, wow, i'm getttin' old. great venue, was so small, you could pretty much go wherever you wanted. highlight was trey playing the opener with a mask on, then flinging it off and tearing it up!

[@aparias]

you know Trey is on point and in the zone when he starts walking back and forth in measure.

[@christopherbaxter7701]

Awe 94!

[@webb10588]

Agree. Maybe the best show ever

[@Liamisamom]

12/8/94 has a spectacular Reba thanks to the jam. one of the best. and you cant go wrong with NYE 95 either.

[@brooklyntype]

thank you

[@shaneomeezy]

I hear ya man. Nice analysis, they are all Sickkkk Reba's.

[@phartknocker]

ABSOLUTE BLISS.

[@GarlTsagan]

Really really special music < 3

[@AndrewThoreson-hb6kl]

During the rest after the jam you can see Trey look over to Fishman like ‘holy shit dude’. After playing something like that it must be a feeling I would like to hear him describe.

[@huebertd]

good god, that is some ass kicking guitar work

[@taylord6469]

XL t shirt trey was unstoppable

[@benslooking4coolstuff]

Very beautiful. Nice camel walk, Amazing really...whistle or not

[@eolsen411phish]

arguably the best reba ever

[@stevenplock9452]

This looks better than Dead and Co Sphere visuals.

[@seancroke5261]

2/20/93 another superb Reba

[@suttermasta3000]

lawn boy is by far phish's best album

[@ComedicAlchemy]

I *sniff* can't not listen *sniff* without *sniffle*..DAMN THESE ONIONS

[@redhouseovayonda]

fishman listens so well to treys solos. hits all those accents u kno?

[@TheDennisQuade]

it blows my mind that I have met this man.

[@John-xe5kr]

Lucky duck

[@Fluffyfluffyhead]

7:45 YES!

[@briannloo]

BEST REBA EVER

[@StewPhillips]

i owe you kdeezy, that was a good hood,

[@tylerwatkins9582]

Reba Dever - 12.31.1995 - also incredible - do yourself a big favor and hear that one if you have not!

[@hellbornelfchild]

best ever!

[@7R4dicalized]

I saw an interview with Clapton years ago, and the interviewer asked him what it felt like to be the world's greatest guitarist. He aptly replied "I wouldn't know, perhaps you should ask Trey Anastasio."

[@yourockbro]

i like how its 68 to 0. epic version

[@dobtoronto]

I am happy.

[@bcp5296d]

@Purplephish20 can't believe you made it that long

[@TheHeroicDoses]

this is trey in his absolute PRIME

[@pensessedecouleur1]

God Bless the Northern Mt ranges of North en France .. : )

[@SKIADK]

Best Reba ever.

[@garybewsy]

"Maybe the best show ever" hahahahahahahahaha

[@mrblazer15]

the mecca of all rebas....also see IT festival

[@mbglosser]

The last 4 mins of this are ridiculous ... Amazing how trey sounds even better when you can see his hand move

[@bwsf]

Trey borrowed my pants for this show... He hasn't returned them yet!

[@cshubs]

I love Shaggy Dog Trey!!!

[@Wmosserbrown28]

@ nogas: I definitely agree with you, though I would like to add 12/31/93 hood to that same soundtrack...that is the only other piece of music that can pull me in as much as this reba.

[@h4rryhood]

8:01 --- Trey: "wait, what just happened I blacked out"

[@phishnet003]

Not even going to attempt to argue witch perfection is more perfect but EVERYONE needs to check out 05-08-93 UNH Fieldhouse Durham NH Definately in my top 5 favorite Rebas

[@iluvbaylay225]

I love wook Trey

[@StewPhillips]

bah I was at the IT Reba, it was touching, but in my oppinion this is out of it's league, 1:40=page brings the magic... I'm rather stuborn on this haha, if anyone knows of some other good ones let me know some dates!

[@MinusVirus]

like where you have that it reba such a gnarly version

[@bennettrw87]

7:40 is insane

[@abungle]

this show is phish live vol 13...

[@ezekieloak]

Is this true? To what interview are you referring? Where can I look it up?

[@shaneomeezy]

#1 Worcester NYE 93 Reba #2 "IT" Reba #3 Glens Falls #4 MSG 95 #5 Clifford Ball

[@declan993]

1994/06/13 is amazing 1994/12/08 is amazing 1994/10/18 is amazing 1995/05/16 is many peoples favorite

[@weebefree]

1:42 ... and thats why phish needs page

[@ezekieloak]

Well you know what to do, yes ... ? Bag it, Tag it, Sell it to the butcher in the store-o.

[@jw89]

hack it, tag it, sell it to the lumberyard store you go, tree, you go

[@7R4dicalized]

Wow- I followed these guys most of 95, then saw them sporadically in the SE during 96 and 97. Damn I had to come back to reality and the obligations of trying to get my degree sometime... Makes my ego lose itself just watching this shit- wait here it is, no there it goes again...

[@HunterCSartin]

how? ....................how..?

[@esqueejy]

insert erkel...DID I DO THAT?

[@garybewsy]

I don't really remember what you were referencing on that quote. I think it was some show from 97 though. Great year, but laughable when someone uses that year as an example of "best show ever." Earlier Phish destroys later Phish.

[@guyyute]

Trent = the greatest rock improviser of all time (sorry Jer', Zappa, Herring, etc.)

[@jellyfish74]

haha...trey's hair looks like a living animal.

[@redhouseovayonda]

@guyyute imagine if he was trent anastasio lol. trent.

[@lopsided1]

Why not available on mobile?

[@webb10588]

Well....?

[@afrisbo]

i dont think he knows what he just did

[@garybewsy]

Well what?

[@herbivoreheadyjewish]

Respectfully I will disagree with your statement I would go...1. Glens Falls....2. MSG 95 .3.... Worcester 93...4.Clifford Ball.....5. IT....just two cents though...Glens Falls is beyond the prime of epcot...btw later on.... the one from Miami 12/29/09 is no slouch either...just two cents once again but to each his own......

[@huebertd]

this one is pretty sweet, I think I like new years 95 the most.

[@guyyute]

Incendiary.

[@JoeBamba6]

Clifford Ball Reba OWNS this one.

[@unvddwhodey]

I liked trey when under the influence. U, my friend have way too much time on your hands. My advice to you, is to get a job sir. The bums will always lose, you hear me Lebowksi, the bums will always lose. I love Phish.

[@webb10588]

Just curious as to what's so funny

[@Liamisamom]

best version is the IT Reba. by far
