[@angelsplacebo]

if you can't feel the magic of this jam, that's cool, phish just isn't for you and there's nothing wrong with that. but if you can feel it, it's better than any feeling any drug or anything could ever provide...the chills that entire jam and especially the peak bring are insane. this is why i love phish

[@scottkadelski3227]

That’s why I love them too. Well put

[@jktunney]

this song especially has some fantastic visual story-telling lyrics

[@maityarkodeb]

who is this man? i must protect you

[@josephgulick6666]

Wow. This is amazing. I am a new Phish Phollower. Just discovered Steam. The vibrations filled my soul.

[@jamesbrumfield1594]

I jam to them while on my mountain bike, uphill they keep me motivated and down they make me feel faster (hah) and I get the purest best buzz ever!

[@marcusfoto]

hands down best version ever, accept no substitutes. my best friend's only show and today he's gone took his own life bear hugs to the ones you love every chance you get

[@doctorfraudchi8084]

Thoughts and prayers man

[@theforeverpuddle8754]

My first show. This was the highlight of the night for me.

[@GRANTBAILEY9099]

favorite jam in so long. just love the dark vibe. didnt know there was a video. awesome.

[@davisleemiles3113]

I’ve never seen Trey mad before, any of them for that matter. It’s a great quality to have, definitely one I pine for. I can most certainly say these guys are great role models.

[@chris-yi8tc]

Pure bliss. This is Phish at their best. Can't help but notice how sick the light shows get with time.

[@samdelano86]

the press of the steam is just so sick, love this song

[@adayinthelife8646]

Definitely digging the new album, imo, one of the best they have put out in a bit and this song is at the top of the list! Love me the funky shutf!

[@Deetchmaster]

That jam was incredible. Phish is the Best!!

[@jcman240]

Song is mad dope, especially when they bring back around after 11min mark

[@charaara]

So fire

[@TheTedp19]

at 2:18 trey can be seen grooving in the crowd...

[@charleslad]

thats his twin Troy

[@michellewright4795]

phish is a true blessing to those of us who tap into the magic they harness. The world is a better place because of them...what an incredible feeling they unleash inside of us PHISH-HEADS!!! thank u, tom wright

[@bobbydtv1]

damn john!!!!!! I got to say that's one of the best sounding ride cymbals I ever heard

[@michaelfinneran1771]

Saw this live, good times.

[@mikemeade5737]

Michael Finneran me too. It was stellar

[@marcusfoto]

gummy goodness!

[@jdmalave5009]

It was epic.

[@Oceanmachine27]

When they kick back into the song at 11:09-- chills. They can still do it, big time.

[@easytoslip]

+Oceanmachine27 Sometimes I even think 'they can still do it big time' even BETTER. Instruments and gadgets are top notch and well-honed, tight tuning and pure clean tones, it makes the magic even deeper than when they started IMO

[@easytoslip]

+Oceanmachine27 Right before that 11:09 mark is the classic tension jam before the release. Phish winds the coil so tight, it's awesome

[@Kevin041357]

Page at 12:00...the look of rage side!

[@michaeldematteis3409]

Treys the master of tension and release

[@CruznN4th]

so damn smoove

[@Dosetrey]

Whos here after the new release??? 🔥🔥🔥smoking hawt jams

[@elijah27b]

I like Steam!

[@304bobgnarly]

This is some serious baby makin' music!! Ugggghhhhh! The steam from this years MPP show was so sexy

[@Benjamin_Holland]

Steam is the new Sand

[@jdpb291]

around the 11 minute mark, I thought i was kinda losing it. My mind had wandered off to some bullshit. Soon as I noticed this, the band popped the jam and went back into the groove. Even when Im not at a concert, and im just listening to this band on youtube, if you let your mind be open enough, it will synch up with the band. if this has never happened to you , i sound crazy, but if you know, you know. phish is capable of channeling that upper realm. and i love them for it

[@samh4127]

Very good

[@alexk5556]

Love the darkness of the jam. Awesome peak too!

[@cheesegirlll]

my social studies teacher was listening to this

[@michaeldematteis3409]

I freaking love this song.idk.I think that riff is so mean gets my head bobbin in a hurry

[@GameOfMicrophones]

Legendary band

[@leolldankology]

Fak, I melted my face off again......

[@markjoinnides2942]

[@mikemacrigoosephishgratefu8988]

[@BDB78]

[@Phisherman86]

[@mwilkinson802]

[@robbrown6934]

[@i_yam_highdrogin]

[@alexvimo8739]

The Horse’s Nostrils Steam🎉😊

[@BDB78]

I’ve watched this at least 20 times. It’s just so insanely good.

[@ledhed5553]

Treys like...Page man....help a brother out at 11:26 ...I forgot a few words 🤣

[@schnobelmcshtinkaldorf2549]

I was cooking a pot of gumbo tonight. As the steam rose off of the pot i smelled it and thought it smelled great. But then because of some wrong seasonings i placed into the pot the foam began to build and it overflowed onto the stove. I called the repair man and he said to fix it i must pay a fee. But i had no money so i called my friend esther to borrow some. She could not help me because her dog jim had run away and she found him and had to pay the vet because he had become ill. After ruining the pot of gumbo i was still hungry so i had a meatstick that i bought earlier to hold me over. I pondered and pondered how i would find the money to pay the repair man. Unfortunately i had to sell my jemp truck to get the money. I payed the repair money a little late and a wedge was put between he and i that day. He was quite pissed actually. So on nothing but a meatstick and a pot of ruined gumbo and no jemp truck i went into my bathroom and mixed up some gin in the tub. If i could do it myself then why buy it from the store? And then i was able to rest with a tall glass of my very own gin. While i drank happily i could see the light. I thought as i basked after all of this adventure "I enjoy myself." What a maze this place really is sometimes. Woke up hung over the next day. My neighbor mentioned that i looked like a ghost. From all of the excitement and gin im sure that i did look like one. So as i ripped back the curtain with my hands again and head out into the world my friend carini pulled up in my drive way. She did not look well. She said she had been attacked by someone with chalk dust on her way home. "What do you mean chalk dust?" I asked. "They tortured me with chalk dust!" She yelled. I was perplexed to say the least. "You can't torture someone with chalk dust anymore than you could with a tweezer." I ridiculed her in my response. After speaking with her further i realized that she had come down with disease and was not in her right mind. I suggested that she go get some help in weekapaug for her problem. Off to work again. We were in an in depth study of hydrogen for the past few weeks. I kept wondering about it's properties and their effects on my body, because hey after all i am hydrogen. Maybe in a few weeks ill go to the beach for vacation and lay in the sand for awhile. Ill study the waves and their beauty and relax. But which beach to go to, ill have to choose one of these cities. Most certainly not the beaches of portland i thought. Just not fast enough for me that place. Looking forward to some time off i layed down in my bed. "I've been waiting all night for this." My mind wandered a bit before falling to sleep and i thought of my old friend mike and the music he used to make. I couldn't remember the name of this particular one. "What was the name of mike's song?" I thought as i became more and more sleepy. Then it all faded into black.

[@betrue311]

haha did you have fun with that?

[@schnobelmcshtinkaldorf2549]

Yes, twas a good time.

[@laurincollum5685]

If only Trey was your professor, I believe he would grade you an 'A' if this were a college requirement. Great Job!

[@218maryland]

Did you send this off for senior review edits? Needs to be revised. Put more effort in next time. Also, make it longer. Not long enough.

[@alexk5556]

Brilliant.

[@dummydingus8291]

So glad this got tracked on Sigma Oasis.

[@TweezerStreet]

please change the description, also solid performance, I love this version

[@TheRealForrestGeorge]

there is the tower like a solitary flower standing in the snow as the wolves all wait below and you're walking on the ledge throwing bread crusts off the edge as you sing in voice so clear and my name I think I hear concealed within the theme then it disappears as steam and I'm standing far below watching wolves you seem to know as your voice still carries on in your never-ending song and my blood begins to boil and my bones melt into oil hissing liquid in the snow as my body sinks below and a ripple sends a beam of sunlight dancing through the steam my now unfettered soul has direction I control to your tower I draw near but do I see a trace of fear? the approaching sound of hooves now scatters all the wolves you briefly watch the horseman ride then you quickly run inside the rider's weapons gleam while the horse's nostrils steam there's no time to reflect, who is this man? I must protect you in the rider's hand I see he holds your prison's only key he glances up and glares and then he starts to climb the stairs I can tell you're terrified so I quickly go inside but then I hear a fateful scream and your soul joins mine as steam we escaped the dreadful night and as lovers soared in flight blissful weeks turned into seasons but one day without a reason or goodbye you flew below back to the animals you know now you forever sing your song with the wolves where you belong now quite alone I often dream I hear you singing through the steam

[@marcusfoto]

their best lyrics since wedge or free

[@noahtheearcetectvsthesuici9768]

I absolutely love phish. funny thing is all my friends ditched me at every show. dicks. but i learned its more fun to roll solo in the crowd. met great peeps along the way but never bothered to get names or digits lol. funny scars heal wierd....

[@michaeldematteis3409]

[@drumsloth100]

[@davidnussbaum4639]

In steammmnmm

[@davidjackson8838]

5:10 sounds like pink floyd

[@Oceanmachine27]

***** I realized a while ago that this jam is so good partly because it reminds of Pink Floyd's "Live in Pompeii"

[@alexvimo8739]

I meant to listen to a good Roggae better then current non comparable to back in the day!!!!

[@jcBurton2094]

They are creating live magic just like Floyd in the early days

[@jakevincent6472]

Does Fish have to make that sound? Is it REALLY necessary? At 4:40

[@m0sesdewitt]

dont question Fish.

[@alexvimo8739]

…:not hurt name stupidly by accident…..s

[@Gumbo72203]

This jam rules, but Chris's lights make NO sense at all. He's doing peaking stuff when the band isn't building a peak.... dude just doesn't have it anymore, unfortunately :\

[@Gumbo72203]

Actually he gets it together once the band is finally in peak territory. But early on in the jam, Chris is trying his damnedest to get them to peak early. Also, what's with the blinking and strobing during the song proper? Just create a fucking mood, guy. We know you have 4,439 special effects patterns you can use. But can you still make good mood lighting?

[@michaelgaravel]

Gumbo72203 dude shut up

[@TweezerStreet]

it also was the first time this song has been properly jammed out so uncharted territory also I'm pretty sure he was trying to create a chaotic atmosphere, but yeah not the best work on his point

[@Isaac70065]

This shit sucks without acid . js

[@betrue311]

I just couldn't disagree with you anymore. do you ever have a day where you maybe aren't feeling it at work? I mean dudes not perfect. and if you're saying hes all over the place more often than not...... with all due respect ..... you're nuts
