Trey tore that After Midnight to absolute shreds!! Love it!!

[@Phishboy26]

The energy that is displayed between a clean and sober Phish along with the unity of different nationalities and a crowd that has to be in awe has never been done at this level. I have tears coming down my face as i am witnessing in my opinion the most amazing Meatstick ever. The sun might have been coming up at Big Cypress on 1-1-00 during Meatstick but on 12-31-10 Phish took things to a level of joy that is only dreamed about at times.

[@ABFB206]

I want to live in this video. Watched it again today (after 2018 NYE couch tour) and fell in love with it again. I think my favorite part is when the Scandinavian ski bunnies go and grab the band and bring them out to dance. The one who grabs Trey is so adorably excited the whole time and is an awesome dancer. I just noticed this time that after the countdown the hotdog guy lays a midnight kiss on her, lucky SOB! Then when the first notes of After Midnight start she's still jumping up and down with joy as they walk off the stage. Love.

[@XravensunsetX]

this never fails to give me goosebumps. Wish I'd been there.

[@maryannreed9640]

It's one of my greatest music memories, being at MSG that night. It gives me the chills. Happy 2019!

[@Tyler53Durden]

everything about this is making me happy

[@reezyrob]

I don't think I've laughed harder in my entire life than when I saw this! Really special to see in person.

[@deadtimber]

One thing I always love about seeing Phish, the GD, and some other bands is the incredible joy that fills everyone, dancing and smiling and being part of a big positive communal feeling. It's different than when you see a pop, heavy metal, or country band and everyone is having fun. Especially when they go off the rails and veer into the abstract and everyone follows them into the rabbit hole out to another universe and back again. I love the mindfk. Our jam-enjoying culture takes joy to a whole 'nother level. Glad I've been part of it for the last 50+ years. We are lucky to live right now.

[@bbooz]

just holding a crowd of thousands in tune for that long is saying something for how well they are loved by their fans ... AMAZING

[@haroldashton1049]

I feel so lucky to have attended this show. one of the most joyful experiences of my lifetime. holy fuck that After Midnight hits so hard even after 12 years.

[@tonystfa]

So over the top but also strangely touching! Wish I'd been there - not sure how this could ever be exceeded!

[@Triumph865]

greatest moment in concert history?? Def debatable.

[@jalang63]

right up there with david gilmore showing up on top of The Wall to do his comfortably numb first lead! goosebumps yo!!!

[@DMB414034]

Yeah. Just like "what?!" So charged as always

[@stuartblum2389]

As far as Rock n’ Roll concert history, absolutely. Beatles Don’t Let Me Down on the Apple roof... Hendrix Monterey 67 lighting up his axe... Both are Rock N’ Roll concert moments that will likely live forever. Legendary live Phish pieces slam all the senses massively harder. Talk about 4 dudes whom have made as awesome as possible of positive impact on the world... Fuck n a.

[@maryannreed9640]

I was there.....I still get chills. It was an incredible display of talent and camaraderie. We all felt it that night. Shocks my brain! Happy New Year 2019!

[@Sam76321]

Amazing video. I was there that night and couldn't really take it all in. Now I can thanks to this. Damn I love you, Phish.

[@stephanlarsen8169]

Trey mazing

[@slightlyunscrewed8305]

Happy 11th birthday to this legendary Jam

[@anntrav]

I can't stop watching this. It's truly a instant classic Phish/rock moment!

[@scarletfire28]

This is my choice of morning music today!!!! What a way to start the day!!!!! Glorious DAY!!! Thanks Phish!!!!!

[@mindyelmergreen5470]

This gives me goose bumps every time I watch it! So amazing.... Thank you, Phish...

[@Jsp767]

this was really something live...thanks for capturing it all!

[@TheChicomangman]

Amazing video!! I've seen Phish 40 or so times over the years but have never seen anything like this... Seriously great...thanks for posting

[@ronaldpetrin5823]

Permanent part of a New Years Video set, just love the festive buildup, phsyche u UP! Wo oo oh shocks my brain! Every time...

[@JMBraz1]

The Best Live phish of all time

[@Gadzooki]

This is the greatest thing that has ever happened at MSG. You can't just watch part of this, it's just a smile-fest.

[@DAVINOENTERPRISES]

Incredible, saw this live!!!

[@deadtimber]

Lucky you!

[@MaMa-ht5tm]

I was there. Pure Amazment.

[@PhreeTaste]

We feel like we went to the NYE party with Phish. Thanks for sharing!

[@LeoChiu229]

Wow, loved those balloon drops! Especially the 646q "hot doggy" balloons (one of my favorites). It's sooo UPLIFTING, UPBEAT & VIBRANT! AWESOME! I watched this video along with my cat & it always keeps my cat's ears up like an owl 🦉. LOL. Cheers! ❤️👍✌️🦉.

[@kaileighsdad86]

Mind=Blown.....Face=Joy

[@rjhowe99]

[@Laura-dt3ef]

This is straight fire

[@GSRJosh33]

Thats one of the best Phish clips Ive ever seen. Awesome. Thanks for sharing what I missed.

[@deadtimber]

Love the meatsticks! HOLY white puffs! I never knew there were actual prescribed dance steps to go with the lyrics. I love these guys, and I'm an old geezer, lol.

[@MRNYCRISPY]

That was some seious New Years Eve action, amazing footage. Cheers!

[@814deadhead]

Great video and was a great time that night. Thanx for posting

[@brooklynwilbury4446]

0:22 -- Well, that Phan who brought the "Meatstick" sign was certainly happy! (Lower right) Sometime during the third set, Trey should've had some fun with that Phan and said the sign inspired the entire gag ... that they went into the concert with no idea what they were going to do until they saw the sign.

[@markmcsns]

Harpua, you're the man for getting all these shows recorded. Can't wait for the Sneakin' Sally deep space phunk!! Keep em' comin

[@andrewsmythe6124]

I can't believe this is almost 10 years old and I've never seen it. It shocked my brain!

[@MalibuStacy420]

Your videos are amazing. Thanks for capturing this.

[@petemags5]

This is SO F_ing cool! Thanks Phish... You should have the NYE show at MSG every year!

[@chlakdsut]

[@MycoGroove]

Chills, every damn time...

[@SWAllen420]

Sheer genius. Why I love this band.

[@wmadel]

[@brooklynwilbury4446]

4:26 -- Crew member standing near Page turns on the prerecorded music. 📻

[@UtahWaterLog]

This is pretty much the greatest thing I've ever seen. Wow!

[@Cueball8384]

HarpuaFSB, please don't ever stop going to & recording Phish shows. Your videos are always the best

[@newsgodaz]

this is just so Phish and so NYC! The best!

[@Krazy_Shorts]

This is one of the most incredible things i've ever seen!

[@AWAKEBUTNOTWOKE]

Still can’t believe I was there!

[@guitarvocs]

This is the coolest thing ever. Also extremely cool is your posting these vids. I'm an old Deadhead but haven't really gone Phishin' until 3.0, first show Hershey PA June '10. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing, and for having a really scary-good camera.

[@PreetingPaws]

this is so awesome ahhhhhhhhhh!!

[@ToddWCorey1]

Still makes me smile

[@tonypmuzic]

Harpua, glad i stumbled across you on KZbin! Awesome.

[@stephendean2224]

All I can say is WOW!!! That would have been so much fun too have been there!!!

[@EvanFazio]

I can't stop watching. :-)

[@YaroandNightshade]

This is pretty damn epic!

[@CrustyWhiteBread]

Great recording.

[@michaelraymond8958]

you always know somethins awesome when your pissed the volume doesent go up any louder

[@jirizary73]

Epic!

[@Manits1515]

Probably the best performance of Meatstick ever.

[@brooklynwilbury4446]

Trey's hot dog catch at 12:12 After Midnight at 19:07

[@matt7825]

The catch!

[@awonderbean]

Every time I watch this video I seriously belly laugh. Such a phun show.

[@SuckaMucka123]

MEATSTICK!!!!

[@brett1234]

wow dude. you got a great view.

[@bubmar81]

This is Awesome , havent heard them sing this in Japanese in awhile let alone 4 other languages .. simply amazing!!

[@nomad535]

WTH are they singing?

[@ThePedalDance]

best three days of my life!!! #YEMSG

[@GratefullyRed]

This is wonderphul.

[@darkstar9480]

I once saw the hot dog but it wasn't that show. This might have been peak Phish.

[@stormchasingmikey]

Instant Classic.

[@PaulClarkPhotography]

the STEAM gag doesnt each touch this awesomeness

[@dan420smp1]

Re-watching this, because why not. Forgot how cookin that After Midnight was.

[@Rhet0rik]

What a party!!!

[@dannyclarke1482]

World peace was achieved, if only for a brief moment

[@ieatumbrellas]

who got my heady time machine, bros

[@Phishboy26]

@ilovealexjones1 You need to research this stuff yourself that way you can tell people about it like me. I was once using drugs and drinking and became sober and it is the most amazing feeling. I know for a fact Trey was using because i could see it in concerts. Eventually Trey got arrested and went through Drug court and is now a clean and sober person who is playing with a clear mind and is enjoying the shit out of life im sure. I am so proud of him and can feel his joy with him

[@andy23822]

The best After Midnight ever played by ANYONE. Just go ask ANYBODY!

[@thebrianlowrance]

Item on the bucket list: See Phish at MSG on NYE!

[@dayzophunk]

god damn was this fun.

[@bechilled202]

woah.... shocks my brain

[@user-mp1mi2zk7n]

Those were the days. All out of FREEdom and Capitalisn in Hillsborough....Hows Vermont, rancid like Bristol and Plymouth (Vermont).

[@user-mp1mi2zk7n]

Cheesecake MP3 playas. Check out IPNA, the Continentaly deaf!

[@TheDeadAreAlive68]

At some point I'm sure I'll stop watching this, right? I'm going on 20+ viewings and it's only getting better!

[@learntowaterski]

i think it was perfect

[@JBScott-fx3it]

The ten year anniversary of Big Cypress...

[@hayseman]

THEY PULLED A HOUDINI!!!

[@toastyplatters70]

"Mitosutikku Jikan, Mitosutikku Kakushite, Mitosutikku Toridashita. Do Do atama ga shock!"

[@btenem]

I cant believe only 7,359 people have watched this

[@ianmurawski8165]

By the way, this summer phish has a very special guest

[@MrsMiracle78]

my sister is in there dancing!

[@bahbcat]

@FluffityAntelope Its around 6:20. Or I could just be hearing things. It isn't like I speak all those tongues.

[@toastyplatters70]

@vedas7317 YES. :D

[@saasoccer209]

hahahahaha yes!

[@bahbcat]

@TheDanification Only the ones you can't understand. I lost track of how many languaghes they were singing at once.

[@WuzzleWorld]

@wydog286 In a heartbeat

[@Juancilra]

Where and when do you think they recorded the loop. Pretty smooth transition. Or smooth enough for me not to notice when it switches.

[@kfunkorange]

CRABINMYMEATSTICK!

[@phish2008]
