Phish - 4/17/2023 - Tweezer → Simple (4K HDR)

[@itsjoshuak]

My first Phish show ... I feel very lucky

[@alan-daniel]

haha yeah, that's definitely pretty lucky. Were you new to the band? Or just your first chance to see them?

[@itsjoshuak]

@wakeboarderal05 I'm young compared to others in the scene, and am a big Deadhead first and foremost. When I saw they were going to the Greek I knew I couldn't miss it. Made it for Monday and Wednesday, was huge for me. Worth every penny and every minute of waiting

Welcome on the train. This band is life.

[@gavinradersmusic252]

Was that you with your future father in law, named Dave? If so we danced next to you :)

[@cowlover1836]

This was my 66 year old father's first show. About halfway through the Tweezer he turns to me and says, "Okay, I get it."

[@Toppjimi-]

60 and phx. Needs a show! K

[@danielamidon5543]

I took my folks to the first night of bethel woods '11. On the ride up, we ask the "what do you want to hear" game..my mom said "tweezer" my step father (who is many ways the antithesis of anything phish related) said.. "they should play something by Jimi hendrix' because Woodstock etc. I said "waves". I can't remember, but it was either during kill devil falls or waves that in unison, they turned and looked at me with a look that was "wow, ok.. I get it now". I think my step father may have actually gotten a bit tipsy. At our hotel, We stayed up for an hour or so just talking about the show. This does not happen in my family. It was one of the best nights of my life. Thank you phish for being phish.

[@stoneystank7355]

I'm 46 years old. My first Phish show was back in 1994 so I've seen these guys go through many different phases as a band. A lot of older heads talk trash about Phish. This is some of the most beautiful, inspired music I've EVER heard them make. When they drop back into Tweezer about 30 mins in holy shit! Goosebumps.

[@TheHSIHP]

47 here. First show was also in 94. I agree with your sentiment.

[@ello_ello_]

what thay be sayin i am intrigued

[@VandaFloral]

YES! Also 46 years old, first show was Albany YEM in 95, and 120+ shows later, this band still is everything to me. They just keep getting better, but I do always want the old stuff for nostalgia, and not all the new trey dad rock, but I'm happy when they get to that place no matter what the jam

Ditto

[@prasad530]

Truth

[@ryanphelan6861]

same or its in group of 500 shows from 90s :) but I never thought id hear them hearing each other and improv on this level its so clean its like denver ghost just their tones and tempos have changed with time but quality is there. Was so happy to know they can still pull this off its magic...have to see them when theyre close id stopped. CK5 has lights playing with beat like drumer pushing or pulling its absolutley stunning. Very lucky

[@justing42]

[@novakaya]

That’s because they’ve never been better Mark my words people, they are still climbing to their career peak of their collective powers. The best is still ahead for all who want to witness and it’s a glorious fucking thing

[@kevinr9383]

Jonathan Fishman is my hero.

[@stoneystank7355]

Me too

[@ezekielbrockmann114]

Indeed. We all wish we could have as many Rugrats. He's also arguably the best percussionist behind a kit today.

[@DannyJ_2003]

@@ezekielbrockmann114not arguably lol. People always mistake technicality for skill. Fishman is easily the most skilled and intelligent drummer of the last like 20 years at least. I mean, he’s the fkin engine keeping the thing runnin man!

[@honuman39]

​@@ezekielbrockmann114 he's a fantastic drummer (he's influenced my playing a lot) but his strengths don't equate to the best percussionist. Not trying to be a hater but try listening to some of the best drummers today. Fish has always had good hands, tasteful creative improvisation, dynamics, courage and stamina. His longevity makes him uniquely notable but the best drummer/percussionist? He's not but that doesn't take anything away from him.

[@STSGuitar16]

Man, the first thing that always strikes me when I see performances like this is how absolutely rock-solid Fish is on drums. He is so damn good and groovy. Every bit as good as Trey is on guitar at the very least. He is honestly what makes Phish sound like Phish. Fish makes Phish sound like Fish playing Phish, if you will. Always a great thing.

[@danielamidon5543]

My first show was in Patterson NY, Big birch 1994, when I was 12. My older brother (14)was super into them, but my parents were always in a recreational but working band..knew the deal, heard some things about these hippies from Vermont and the distinct possibility of various shenanigans/goings on.. so they wouldn't let him go alone and didn't find a babysitter= my first show! Anyway my point is that Ive loved this band since then and am probably guilty of being of a "jaded vet" or whatever at times.. But then they play shit like this and remind me and everyone that they are, and always will be the greatest fucking live band that there has ever been. Brains blown, face melted, oozing puddle, yet again. Thanks boys

Outdoors in the house that Jerry built was the icing on the cake. Will carry the memories from the Greek run for the rest of my life. Catch them now while they are still in top form and thank god they aren't blasting their brains out with opioids etc anymore.

[@MarcBurkhardt-zj1xk]

Yeah man, I’m a drummer and was surprised he was doing that for Tweezer too. It’s a technique that popular with New Orleans type drumming, so the accents are all on the upbeat, pretty awesome!!! Saw Phish in 93 and started playing drums immediately after because of Fishman!!! He’s phenomenal!

He didn't use but he can't rock straight 16th on his right hand anymore like he use to. A band on the decline.
