Phish 12/31/2019 Set 3 - End of First Tube thru “Encore” - Trey Gets Stuck

12/31/19 Phish at Madison Square Garden New York City, NY. Trey gets stuck.

[@robertr2953]

Had to watch this again. Just one of the best nights of music I've ever seen. The energy in that room was unreal.

[@EpicNole]

Its time we stopped holding Trey up on a pedestal, he's getting stuck up.

[@LSommer]

😂😂😂😊😉

[@Yetimon]

[@mastercheif91]

The "incident" happens at the 6:30 mark, Trey's platform jolts and goes uneven. He grabs the Microphone stand when it happens.

[@chrissterrmusic]

jjthejetphan yeah, it looks uneven... wow.

[@juhawks37]

From our section we could clearly see it was leaning backwards a bit. Someone in our row then pointed and we saw a crew member climbing up a rope ladder off the side of the stage. Crazy!

[@1alexwel]

You can also see in a couple of shots afterward, at least one of the chains, not being under tension anymore. Like at 7:34

[@dunnright00]

This explains why Mike was higher up. It was supposed to be Trey/Mike on one level and Page/Fish even down below. Trey was supposed to keep going but got stuck

[@rhubarb1073]

the reverb in the room from 39:00 was incredible

[@auburnwithalake]

Total Spinal Tap moment. Glad they realize it, too.

[@Luketarleton]

Clay Ellis What was the spinal tap incident?

[@auburnwithalake]

@@Luketarleton Getting stuck on a platform 20 feet in the air, while clones of yourself look on worriedly?

[@Luketarleton]

Couldn’t remember spinal tap had to go back and watch that movie

[@auburnwithalake]

@@Luketarleton oh man, such a great movie. "Yeah, but it goes to ELEVEN!"😂

[@Luketarleton]

Haha yes I forgot how amazing this movie is.

[@Wompzalot]

"its only a matter of time till they start playing on platforms in the air." - me last new years run. mind is obliterated.

[@euphegenia]

Riley Narayn they played on platforms on 12/31/11 too

[@Wompzalot]

@@euphegeniaohhh shit gonna watch this asap

[@newton2013]

I figured they didn't do it already due to liability insurance.... Overcome!~ How many people freaked out thinking that they had thought about it happening~ before it happened...

[@euphegenia]

@@Wompzalot kzbin.info/www/bejne/g5SQnplonMaFm9U It was pretty cool. Everyone shits on this show though.

[@KhalDrogo76]

If this wasnt a fitting start to 2020 i dont know what is

[@rm1133]

I think Mike spent the whole set looking over at his buddy Trey clearly worried and hoping he was going to be OK seeing that he was stuck.

[@euphegenia]

rm1133 agreed. I think he definitely looked concerned for Trey

[@starmanrush]

Best band on or off the planet.

[@gillynuggetplayz680]

Ikr!

[@bmiraglia7]

Thank you

[@TheDailyVinyl]

so absolutely crazy!

[@scotty3034]

Great fun. He made the best of it.

[@LSommer]

Thanks 😊

[@OldFirstConcerts]

I love your music

[@unoclayGaming]

set 2 of 12/30 spells TRS, TRS "The rescue squad, the rescue squad" 12/30 pan narration: Hit me in the head with pan, I screamed I feel like I walked out onto a cliff that I cant get off Im just gonna walk backwards and fall off this cliff he got you guys good....

[@conjandysecurity]

You think this was planned?

[@unoclay]

it definitely was. the setlist on 12-30 spells trs,trs...the rescue squad. fish says, apropos of nothing--"you guys have seen spinal tap, right"--guitarist stuck inside his prop. the whole zamfir makes things go wrong gag makes zero sense...unless you realize Stuck is the gag itself. best prank theyve ever pulled. same band that invented a fake halloween album as a prank just months before.

[@conjandysecurity]

@@unoclay this is blowing my mind. Stanley Kubrick level thinking. I've been having fun trying to decode all the gamehenge eggs. I.e. three consecutive shows of 19 songs each culminating with their 83rd show at MSG. Old nerds still goofing at a deep level.

[@unoclay]

I dont even think its conspiracy theory. They have a long history of pranks. this is just the one time they DIDNT reveal it. Well, Joey Arkenstat but thats Mike. The whole "pan in the head" zamfir thing literally has no Payoff unless....Trey wasnt stuck. @@conjandysecurity

Taking the music to, new heights

[@chipinchina]

8:52 - Kuroda purposefully doesn't have the spotlight on Trey, but he keeps them on the other 3 members

[@euphegenia]

Skip Dyver yeah but at 9:20 the lights are back on Trey. In fact, if you watch closely, right at the 9:00 mark, the lights appear to go back on Trey but the screen cuts away (until 9:20)

[@andykrew336]

I figured the spots were automated/cued to the platform heights. He likely had to override that spot's position to get it fixed back on him later.

[@ProtozoaSound]

Ah, so that's when it started (stopped) Most InTense jam ever?

Maybe next year we go with good ole, I and I instead of Pan?

[@YachtRockFiend]

Thanks!

Scary. That is easily high enough for death. Glad trey used the force to get himself down.

Ahhh, thank you for gracing us with your jaded vet 1.0 critique. Phish really misses you!

[@kingofpirates4039]

these dancers got no rhythm lol

[@staggerlee4979]

What's with all the choreography? Silly dancers and rising platforms? Looks like a Taylor Swift show. 😳

Stagger Lee still way better than Dead&Co

[@staggerlee4979]

@@euphegenia Unfortunately, the Dead Co of 2019 left me no choice but to agree. I actually like the Lizards more than Phish.

What used to be one of the greatest jam bands which at big cypress played what 7 hours straight is now playing the lamest shows ever! this is the new years set? stages that go up and down and a group of clones what one Earth is this seriously grown adults find this amazing they went up and down on platforms how amazing and genius clones singing you know oh and trey got stuck that's so basic of thier stage crew lack of training and basic safety protocol is beyond incompetent how hardcore of you Phish I mean it's easier than playing dad rock right I hope my child or dog doesn't get hurt rail riding!
