Phish - 7/8/12 "You Enjoy Myself"

[@fatherfigure5]

As an old man I can't help but hear tones of YES in this music. I like it and I'm sorry I slept on Phish!

[@astrosauce]

Definetly, Page’s playing got me into them

[@medicine_box]

I remember traveling in Italy on a High School trip in 98. I brought my journal and a CD (yes a CD) that had ALL my favorite live YEMs on it. I'd listen to it on the bus between cities trying to channel Trey and Fishman on their trip to Italy when this masterpiece was scribed. I then understood the freedom and creativity they had when you totally immerse yourself into a different culture and let it release emotions within you that you didn't know you had. We finished that trip in Florence (where the Uffizi gallery is). I ditched my classmates for an afternoon and wandered the alleys there and found a pawn shop serving espressos. A couple espressos later for the free spirited 18 year old me and I left with a $100 nylon string guitar. I walked back to the Uffizi Square and saw a group of travelers singing along to a guitar player, so I lifted my guitar with the universal head nod of "may I join" Turns out the guitar player was from my exact state (NH) back in the USA. We dropped into playing "No Woman No Cry" so that EVERYONE could comprehend the language of Bob Marley. Within minutes there had to be 100s of travelers from ALL over the world singing along with us. Later that year, I used this experience to write my college application essay and was granted early acceptance to UVM in Burlington VT for the class of 98. I'm 42 NOW and this experience is forever engrained in my heart, mind and soul. Thank you PHISH for being a magical weaver of life experiences that has transcended space time since my first show in 95.

[@richardlewin9282]

Has to be one of the most underrated drummers👍👍

[@danostyli514]

Has to be?? He IS the most underrated drummer.. Fishman’s playing is adaptable to any genre of music and often sounds as if there just has to be multiple drummers involved (when listening w/out video).. but it’s just the one and only. The energy it takes to play certain sections is truly unimaginable sometimes and he plays them so smoothly ..this mf is an incredible talent and once in a lifetime opportunity, as you can say that pretty much about any other member of this quartet ✌️🔥

[@francus7227]

​@danostyli514 Ever see Fishman get off the drums and sing Elvis' "Suspicious Minds" with Trey on drums? What a cool version.

[@Doktor7734]

This is one of those jams that you never get tired of....

[@JDubbs032084]

Phish broke curfew to play this for us, closing out an incredible 3 night run. Heading into Set 2, we all thought we were getting a YEM...we were due. As curfew started to come closer, they played Hood > Cavern and we all thought, perfect, plenty of time to get of stage, come back and finish this weekend of with a proper YEM... but then after Cavern they went into Bowie. Now I am not one to ever complain about a Bowie, but this all but sealed the deal for a short quick encore. Still an amazing weekend. They came back on stage at about 11:55pm. When they busted into YEM, the place exploded. This YEM probably cost them $15,000 - $20,000.

[@astrosauce]

Money well spent

[@MakerNoMoney]

I was reading an article about the ten classic rock bands that sounded better live than on a studio recording and because I'd stopped listening to rock music after transitioning to r&b vocal groups, I decided to listen to this selected song by Phish and became an instant fan. They had a lot of fun movements and cool sounds that grabbed my attention. Now I'm going to several videos to see how you guys perform in 2024!

[@themersh4064]

This song/video captures everything that is Phish and what makes them so much fun. It's like a singing circus on acid. Nonsensical Dr. Suess-like characters come to life. You certainly get your moneys worth at a concert, no doubt about it. Thanks boyz!!!

[@danadian9514]

I really enjoy this myself so much

[@isaacrosen6446]

From 12:05 - 15:35 is some of the best type I jamming I've ever heard. Maybe not as whimsical and exploratory as their most creative jam excursions, but I'll be damned if that's not some of the best guitar Trey has ever played. Tasteful, patient, dynamic. I'll never get over how transformative and narrative his best improvisational work is. There's something almost plot-driven about it, full of conflicts and resolutions, lulls and climaxes, melodic characters and themes that return and reference each other throughout -- he builds a story through tone, melody, and the dynamics that weave them together. The debate on best players or best improvisers of all time is endless and totally moot - but for my money, no one in the world can build and release musical tension on guitar quite like Trey!

[@DaFreezeey]

One of my favorite Phish moments for sure... He's so locked in... every note he plays during those 2 minutes is so phucking perfect.. Also lets not forget the launch pad Page builds for him right before the peak... so insanely amazing

[@Ihitthings3]

I remember the first time I heard Junta back in ‘88 or ‘89. It had just come out and my buddy Mike said “dude you HAVE to check these guys out” and we sat in his car listening to the cassette smoking a fat joint and my head just absolutely exploded while listening to Divided Sky then this one came on and I went from meltdown to groove. Just stunned.

[@EugeneAxe]

Definitely a sick album. Funny, I heard it for the first time literally one decade later ('98) and was just as blown away

I'm old enough to remember when I wouldn't be able to enjoy a video of them somewhere like the Sphere.

+CHFilms So many awesome different influences. I listen to a lot of metal and progressive music, and when I first heard Phish I didn't like them at all. I found them boring. But tons of my friends were into them and ass my musical tastes broadened, I eventually starting realizing that there was something there for me. I was intrigued by the melding of multiple genres and the progression of these epic jams. A lot of my favorite bands are all bands that became an acquired taste and rewarded repeat listens, and Phish turned out to be the same deal. I heard a few more tunes a few years later and noticed the infectious groove in their jams, then I watched a live video of Carrini and have been hooked form there! That is the song that sold me!
