I saw them three times the week prior, once at Alpine Valley then twice at Deer Creek. The Monday after Woodstock '99 (when Phish played the song Woodstock) was one of my favorite shows. It was so surreal, the local news was showing fires and riots in upstate NY, then interviewing calm and peaceful Phish fans at the shows. I'll always remember Trey thanking the audience and saying of the Woodstock '99 festival (I'm paraphrasing) "When money is your main priority you end up with a lot of things burning." Peak Phish.

25 years ago today. Only made it to 1 show in 99 but it was a dozy 9/14/99 Boise

[@bentertin7407]

Love that they use "Bucket Full of Thoughts" to name "Back on The Train" :)

[@brendantimmons5415]

I love the japan shows because the audience is so respectful to the point that they are dead silent in the middle of the quietest part of this Bowie, allowing the band to flex dynamics they normally wouldnt have been able to

[@dyrwolf]

so cool. This festy was so much fun. Field of dreams got more crowded each night. Night 1 a had my elbows on stage in front of page.

[@Madcatcon199]

fish looks crazy during the encore vacuum jam lol giant hat, stern sullen face its just too good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@timhanby8028]

David Bowie is just absolutely take your breath away top shelf Phish. That’s what you go too hear and witness. 1999…what a year

[@jester070993]

absolutely phenomenal

[@BW-pr8qr]

[@cherryaxiom9711]

[@brendantimmons5415]

So awesome

[@kevinmurtagh4996]

18:48 Sonic Youth!!

[@joshyoung81]

Damn that Caspian is a screamer. Is it me, or are the boys (namely Page and Trey) completely spun?

[@andrewmega8482]

100%. There's some real high-quality playing on this show. Dosage was good

[@Frigoni]

@@andrewmega8482 agreed, Caspian>Fluff slaps

[@dogfase515]

Musical ninjas,especially "you know who"

[@newusernamehere4772]

Mike? I always thought his eyes looked squinty, and I'm only saying that out of respect.

[@RustyB22]

"Thats the SUCK board!"

[@desmondlawrence9492]

beck sighting at 32:60 ?!!

[@phoebexavier7050]

32:42 ish yeah that's definitely him.

[@pango-y8j]

Yes 🍄🐟🍄

[@isaacburdiss]

0:02 Um... have I been saying his name wrong all this time? I thought it was An-as-tAHsio, not An-asTAYsio.

[@phoebexavier7050]

It's Troy Pistachio ;)

[@teedomeowgi7959]

I thought it was post 2014 Trey was unable to play his own songs, but now I see it goes back to 1999. Such a shame to have a band this good and not take it seriously enough.

[@jimmydweeb9096]

yea. i see that. i will say they make up in the jamming 99% of the time. then again its cool to hear a note for note stash or fluffhead or reba. personally, im a jam man so that’s usually what im paying more attention to

[@joeshafer6806]

who gives a flying shit about note for note composition trey was absolutely ripping here lmao

[@briancullen9575]

The rust became noticeable by Fall 1998. The jams were white hot through 2000.

[@hammondOT]

The other members of the band exist as a backing track for Trey to play guitar hero.

[@brendantimmons5415]

Are you insane this is one of the best shows ever

[@Sniz420]

lmao how did no one get arrested here , keep trey sober and such
