Phish - 12/7/95 Possum

Niagara Falls, NY - 12/7/95

[@danielmyers5897]

Just your standard kind of 12 bar blues ;). No groans for possum in those days. Used to feel the roof might blow off on one of those crazy winds to the high A. Theres easily 10-15 great ones from that era. Perfect example of what phish brought to rock and roll. Eye popping face melting Peaks never before seen. 95 fire

Bro this is not standard 12 bar... or even close..

[@DillonStrichman]

I could never groan at a possum!!

[@benringenberg2394]

@@DillonStrichman thank you for saying what needed to be said. I get as excited for possum as I would for a chalkdust.

[@donshelden5218]

Exactly

[@ben-yg5jj]

10:52 Fishman saves the tempo and they all take off like some beasts of nature. Love this band

[@benringenberg2394]

I dont know man, I first saw them in 94, and possum was one of the songs that really sold me on the band, and to this day I love it.

[@benringenberg2394]

Had to give some love to a fellow ben who loves phish and the dead. My two all time favorites, peace and love my friend.

[@wta1981]

Fishman is unreal in this one.

[@123danks]

This is the possum equivalent of the 12/1/95 DWD. In my opinion. 12/95 is pretty dope apparently

[@Sco3000]

October to December 95 is cream of the crop for sure.

[@oldmanuserphan]

Trey looks fit trim and muscular here. It looks like he wrenches on classic VW busses by day and rocks out to thousands by night.

[@RonMckernan72]

cuddly but muscular

[@jesuselizabeth16]

Followed these guys on 4 tours in the late 90's.....Good times to say the least 🎶💃😎✌🏽

[@starrlightmighty5789]

I love this so much

[@slimpickens6422]

This is probably the best of all Possum jams. Probably 5 peaks with the Deadish freak out in towards last peak. I don't know how they keep it together. Maybe they don't!!

[@imk814]

Trailer park Trey at his finest!

[@jeffreye2102]

I want trey to bring back those pants.

[@Sco3000]

I bet Gordo stole them!! lol

[@Louis-ef4eb]

[@lionelcrawford4562]

Phish is my favorite band today but had I been of age to see them do this back then they’d be my favoritest band

[@Krazy_Shorts]

WOW...absolutely ridiculous! I can't even begin to imagine what it was like to actually be there for this! Too bad we didn't have 4k video back in 1995.

[@bflokid2000]

It was fucking freezing.

[@randomperson-dy6kj]

but we had really, really good hallucinogens back then. :) I was shocked at first when I got back into Phish a year or two ago and noticed Possum was greeted as if it was Character Zero. It used to be incredible and definitely ridiculous.

[@danielmyers5897]

I think i was here. This is new haven right. Anyway. Yeah. Possums were fun as hell.

[@Sco3000]

This footage is from the Niagara Falls show

Somebody find me Rutland, VT, The Valley Club. Older friends of mine caught it.

[@bigduke5150]

The great Page! And show. Thanks Sco!

[@Phisherman555]

I'm confused. How did you get pro-shot footage of Niagara? Doesn't seem to me that there was an official release. Where can I get more? Seriously, about to check YT but in the event I find 0, could you help a phan out?

[@Sco3000]

Why the video to whole show is not out there I do not know.... However the reason I have footage is because I got a download to mp4 files from Live Phish when the CD to this show was released a few years ago.

[@Phisherman555]

Well...Thank you for sharing! I did see that Phish released this bit from the show on their YT account. kzbin.info/www/bejne/poCQp3ePqbuhgqc

[@chrisdory8218]

my 3rd show.

[@thejamnasium6447]

sounds like a half-ass Kid Charlemagne tease from Trey there in the intro buildup

[@nducati]

fish was a beast. still is, i reckon.

[@doublea5589]

Still reckon? Fishman is my absolute favorite rock star of all time... And it ain't even close!
