Fishman did this show on the way to his other gig as a bartender at a wedding.

[@finalalarm]

That's pretty funny!

[@davidlastname1832]

Fishman didn't wear his dress on the summer 97 tour.

[@SunshineDaydreamSLOCO]

If Fish is tending bar for you circa 97 u better sip slowly. Hahaha

[@townzen190]

At that time, it was shocking to see this version of Fish.

[@lokijam]

No band worked harder in the 90’s than these guys and these late 90’s shows show it. One of tightest bands on earth.

[@barberitis]

Great quote and im so glad I witnessed a ton of it

[@ryanphelan6861]

that is the wonderful way to put it not just because I completely agree :)....like 98 just as example a band that couldn't help but not mesmerize on small show like sessions on west 54th street in a year in which they played yet another incredible festival like the Lemonwheel. All while having that run from island shows through my favorite summer gorge, prague, portland meadows, shoreline, that acoustic set :), playing terrapin finally virginia beach, and in fall my favorite show for entertainment and great music the wipeout show in Worcester along with countless I haven't mentioned. So many phases of sonic curiosity by this point you could and would hear pieces of it all in a single show. As a miles fan reminds me of his passing through and absorbing all elements of his craft from blues, swing, bebop, going to europe finding his sound scoring a film, creating modal jazz with gil, avant guard, fusion al be it later as phish did with bluegrass, funk, spacey soundscapes/ambient sound, orchestral, theatrical, rock, jazz, zappa' touch, and I do believe their halloween shows helped firmly they were never the same after remain in the light imo such an incredible sound and style and so funky. Phish between 90-2000 reminds me of Miles decade with 56-66 roughly. A bebop quintet playing relaxin, workin', cookin', to a new sound in kind of blue. Coltrane leaves Wayne shorter and younger quintet of 60's playing miles in sky and at an incredible level leading into bitches brew and in a silent way he'd mastered it all . Both bands in very different times and ways refined their lines and music to something so lyrical and immediately recognizable. Like you refined all that into 2 sentences for everyones benefit. :) ✌

It’s so difficult to even fathom a Phish show now for that few of people

[@pebblesanddirt]

It would be the same if they toured Europe now

[@jjmah7]

@@pebblesanddirt I seriously doubt that. Most of the shows would be filled with Americans traveling with them lol

[@pebblesanddirt]

@@jjmah7 that’s mostly who was there back then. The band has almost no fan base outside the us. They couldn’t book many large places on just the hope fans would travel europe with them.

[@sethstine4698]

Ikr! I know it's Germany, but it's hard for me to fathom that there were so few people in the audience THEN, in 1997! Phish had crowds bigger than this in 1990 for God's sake 😂

[@kevinmurtagh4996]

My favorite single-set Phish show. In terms of tightness and cohesion, this is pretty much as good as they got at that time. There isn’t any type-II journeys, but that’s not always necessary.

[@EstimatedProphet92]

These European shows are underrated as far 1997 goes. Definitely hugely instrumental in the shift from machine gun phish to jam alarm phish

[@robertozariskeeni1875]

Jam alarm?? Could you please explain?

[@VinnieDaidoneGuitar]

A fine performance. Does a little bit of everything they do well in one set.

[@kevinmurtagh4996]

It’s so crazy seeing such a relatively small crowd. Brad Sands said in an interview that they always lost money when they went to Europe, but it was just accepted as a cost of trying spread the band to wider audiences. Also, most European shows they did were just American fans who followed them to Europe.

[@MrTheoriginalkarate5]

I love this Dirt

[@lolijustfarted]

yeah what a great version. One of my favorite phish songs, ive actually cried when seeing it played live (was on drugs for sure)

[@FesteringEarth]

For some off reason I've really been waiting to get a good video of Trey enjoying a tasty jam with the band and saying a solid "fuck yeah" on camera. Sometimes I'll hear a good "yeah man" or "woooo!" From other shows in the past. And finally, after like 2 years of searching, I got a great fuck yeah at around 58:23! Plus, I dont blame him, an early Ghost at the start of introducing more phunk? I'd feel just as groovy as he was. This show is wonderful! Enjoy the unique energy quite a lot.

[@TheGunner131]

Trey locked in on stash one for the books for sure.

[@PhactorPhiction]

[@timlazar9030]

he said we'd like to bring on Steve Winwood and then Steve Winwood never showed up, shame, I would've like to see him performing with Phish

[@MrMattyswift]

Fun fact: Trey played on Gimme some lovin later this year with Winwood in Burlington. Also, Trey and Paige sat in with Panic in 93 at the Roxy in LA for a ridiculous Low Spark (Winwood). Wonder what caused him to not come out? Although he didn't write it I always loved Phish's take on Traffic's light up or leave me alone on the early tapes I had. Saw a bunch of shows from 94-99 and was blessed with the bust out on 12/30/99 - 1st in 10 years and on what turned out to be my final run. That was a really fun new years, even though I had to sacrifice DDBB with Panic

[@tychobergquist3885]

Maybe this will be the venues of the Phuture to satisfy social distancing. I can dream of that much free space around me with a lot of people who don’t even know who Phish is [was]. Beautiful and solid playing too. I am stoked for a 97 phish DAAM installment next. Phish 97 was the bees knees. And that’s the year they used for Bittersweet Motel. Wawaweeewa!

2:57 this is why I set my mic up at an angle where I can still see my frets while singing. I don’t get why Trey always has his mic parallel with the stage.

[@ericb.9426]

think you have this backwards..

[@musiccellarmillerton]

Eric B. A mic pointing up at a 45 allows you to sing while still looking down at your frets. A mic parallel w the stage requires you to be looking out at the crowd rather than down at your frets

[@ericb.9426]

the goal is to look at hotties and not have to look at anything else cuz you frkn ROCK

[@ericb.9426]

jus sayin

[@musiccellarmillerton]

Eric B. Haha! That is the goal. I always have to look at my frets. Some players don’t and I always wonder how. I have seen it mess Trey up on a couple of occasions.
