Fishman is such a good drummer

[@shgram74]

Duh 😮

[@Wayzor_]

Well the band is named after him n' all. The guy studied all the Zappa drummers.

[@Cowberg]

**throws down crutches** YES!

[@LucidRevelation]

Wow! I started listening to Phish over 25 years ago, it's hard to believe that they are still able to perfect songs like this at an ever-increasing level. Best Wedge I've ever heard.

[@stephanlarsen8169]

Phuchk yeah. So different more of a groove than a jam. Phunky?

[@rebeldropper8933]

96 Nassau Colliseum was my first show theyve only perfected there skillz

[@InnerTubes]

Phan since 1992. Hardly perfect but yea the jam is tasty. Rather hear fewer songs played with precision than hacked up rarities.

[@mattferrara6472]

When a 5 minute drive takes 14 minutes, pHish is involved

[@sybo7617]

Love your post!!

I hope these guys never give it up. Phish is just one of those bands that has stuck with me since I was about 15, man that was forever ago.

[@truthawaits4u458]

Rob Marley same here. Feel like I grew up with these clowns by my side all through my teens and into my young adult life. I'm 40 now! Its amazing really!

[@spuddougherty7860]

Been with them since they were an opening act in 92. Quit seeing Grateful Dead shows for Phish in 94...still going strong. Really pumped for Wilmington NC this summer.

[@TK-fk4po]

It’s the paradise city jam!

[@joshuamarks1129]

T K even in the correct Key!

[@tommodeski8637]

I just listened to studio version, i was in highschool when rift came out,and just met this awesome group of deadhead kids, what a time early 90s was....it actually brought to tears listening to this!!!

[@antoniopereiraRB]

FOLK´S THE BEST "WEDGE" EVER..... ICAN´T STOP LISTEN THIS

[@studapeppahead5384]

The RIFT track is the best.....

[@deweytucker5413]

Such a classic Phish song! This song makes me so happy and carefree when I hear it at a live show. I would have lost 5 pounds dancing to this.

[@mrphim13]

This wedge does not get old it rips

[@qinghai1]

That was pretty fucking amazing. Just sitting in my computer chair listening in my iPhone and just grooving out. Completely sober. Almost wish I still smoked weed.

[@kevinsellers5243]

Enjoyed playing a quiet Mando rendition along side this totally limitless big phish phishyness

[@duffman7793]

No matter what, don’t pick up

[@ryanjones4150]

This just played as the next thing because I listened to the awesome 12.29.97 Tube. I think we all agree that 90's Phish is the best, but this is pretty damn good.

[@davidcrosby751]

You are smoking crack

[@theforeverpuddle8754]

I love watching page sing and of course love hearing him play.

[@eyeamsky]

The last five minutes of this on repeat forever.

[@thaddeus1ism]

I got fired...because I was late to work...because I couldn't stop listening to this jam.

[@michaelg5889]

I would totally get fired for this one

[@HowToPutTheCondomOnRealPenis]

good riddance, hope you are on to better things!

[@sweetconniemac2242]

Am I the only one hearing the end as being REO Speedwagon’s “Roll with the Changes”. From the 11:00 mark and on?

[@lumpyheadcarini7553]

Thank you!!..was driving me crazy trying to think of it and you're absolutely right

[@carlintripp]

Haha, nailed it

[@adamdavidoff1500]

As a vet of 356 shows (and counting) this is a true story. And I was there and thinking the same thing that night!

[@euphegenia]

Conor Mccarthy nah, I hear the melody from the chorus from “Join Together” by The Who. That’s what I heard at the show and what I hear to this day.

[@clancykobane9102]

@@euphegenia thanks for your input.

[@tedlafforthun4858]

Yeah, I can hear a great tune like this, drive 4 miles to a grocery store, go in the store for 20 minutes and back in my subbie, the song is still on.

[@shaunkerr6898]

Rad. The Ghost that they play right after this is even better, love listening to it when I mountain bike!

Damn...don't get too many Wedge jams! Absolutely love this one, Phunky!!!!!!!!!!

[@studapeppahead5384]

My 2 best friends were getting laid at a campsite in Illinois....I was ashamed and alone....this song helped.....a lot.

[@themainten4433]

I’d have rather seen this live than get laid honest

[@camtron]

Man that was fun

[@edubz1906]

Very nice version and not a song that gets played very often, and on my list of favs that I haven't seen yet. Just love the sound and style of all the songs from Rift

[@dfieldspga]

Absolutely spectacular! They take this to fantasy land!

[@harrycanes1]

WOW!!!!!! If this doesn't move you in a positive way you have no soul!!!!

[@dennisotoole5525]

no joke!

[@cosmicalico1]

Best Wedge ever!!!!! You guys never cease to amaze me. :-) \m/

[@aaronmandelman8049]

Forever dubbed the "Atomic Wedgie"

[@Wompzalot]

Ok they need to bring back that projection light rig the back of the stage looked so amazing at 10:40

[@euphegenia]

Riley Narayn No fucking way dude...the rig they’ve had since 2017 is fucking fire. The moving rig. Produces insane visuals.

[@jimmyneaylon4]

Was at this show.....For first 5 minutes thought it was going to be a nice bridge song towards the next song in the set. 5 minutes after that I felt my face melting and body possessed.

[@PIPER898]

That jam melted the pyramid they just built, block by block…… Woooooooow👏👏👏

[@theforeverpuddle8754]

11:00 sounds like Sneakin' Sally. I really enjoy this Wedge.

[@mattburke2450]

I thought it sounded like "Fire on the Mountain" around that time

[@elizabethevans2457]

Teasing like the GD always did

[@deweytucker5413]

Well dam! That’s my jam!

[@MarshalTennerWinter]

Trey is shaggy here. Looks like he just crawled from a cave to look for honey.

[@mattferrara6472]

Well he certainly found it!

[@HarryHood96]

This is some of the best shit ever.

[@jasonc5512]

What I love about Fishman is he developed his unique style (basically self taught) to compliment the band as a whole. He knows when to follow and when to lead. All of them are incredible listeners while still playing at a very high level

[@CelticYogi]

At 10:50 there's a flash of Grateful Deadness, just a little echo, which is nice.

[@BryonBlackArtistOnTheLoose]

Yeah, I heard a bit of that too.

[@daiglemeister]

Can't wait for the west coast swing!

[@NateFoss]

Right as they are winding down....Trey's effect at the 10 min mark..so gosh darn good!! This is really really good stuff.

[@theresadog]

That sound reminds me a lot of Jerry on Estimated Prophet or Fire on the Mountain.

[@Dogsrule777]

Excellent kick down- ❤️💯🤘🏼

[@pcataldo83]

This jam reminds me of "Paradise City" by GnR...anybody?

[@healthyherbalist8376]

hell yeah they did!!!

[@JamesHenderson22]

Jesus Christ Superstar

[@davidhunt8384]

Paul Cataldo. Love ya family. Love this song. No resemblance to paradise city at all. But holler if you ever need anything at all brother :)

[@danielmyers5897]

Paradise fo sho

[@BillyDaMountain]

Was startin' to sound like they might slip into "Roll with the Changes" by REO Speedwagon there in that sweet jam.

[@bryontreece]

Exactly!! Definitely more like REO than the Paradise City that some people are claiming. Obviously very similar progressions, but sounds more like REO to me. Keep it Rollng!

[@shaunkerr6898]

Bryon Whitley Yeah I saw a lot of people saying Paradise City, but I'm not hearing it.

[@posternutbag6496]

Oh, idk....just picture(uh, in your head?Ears? whatever?) segment of Paradise City, right during the intro, prior-to-&-during Slash's brief solo before the whistle blows and it switches to 'Paradise City proper', if you will; VERY similar. DOES sound like 'Roll w/ the Changes', tho, too. Also just sounds effin' sick regardless. Was a blast being there. word y'all.

[@steelcityspeedshopj.r6942]

this was from a summer of Highlights ❤

[@fargocheef]

well, that was a jam!

[@Phishheadie]

2014 was one of my favorite light rigs aside from the 2017 stuff

Sick jammed out Wedge. I fucking love this venue. Just a surreal view of the Chicago skyline. Amazing. Lawn sucks tho.

[@andrewdyke5561]

phishphan97 worest lawn ever complete flat and very far from stage

[@daveleafey9283]

I so wish I was there

[@tonystfa]

The jam that starts just before 11:20 and up to pretty much the end sounds very much like an early version of the last section of "Drift While You're Sleeping" ("We move through stormy weather....love will carry us through").

[@johnstallings4049]

Now that's a lot of notes.

[@HELLADJ]

best shit ive seen in a while! great song

[@honuman39]

The tease jam at 11:00 is REO Speedwagon's Roll With The Changes not Paradise City. They have similar chording but Trey's tone and strumming matches REO way more than GnR.

[@thetruth34o9]

Really wish they would give that song a full cover, feel like they would absolutely kill it.

[@SAEmusic7]

[@seangrexa4707]

Trey's sobriety compromised by that hit let out at 13:25 That jam is either Paradise City or something off Jesus Christ Superstar, nice.

[@JamesHenderson22]

JCS reprise

[@tonystfa]

I can hear that but that almost the whole last part of the jam seems to follow the chord structure of the end of "Drift" from GOTF.

[@justenw]

Or roll with the changes
