Phish - Ghost 7/23/97 - Lakewood Amphitheatre, Atlanta GA (UPGRADED AUDIO)

This audio is a big improvement over the previously posted video.

[@FZappa20]

I knew I would find this here

[@davidthomaschwclmt5925]

Just discovered this gem. I said goddamn!

[@kylel2326]

Amazing audio, everybody is locked in start to finish. Competes only with 11-17-97! I long for the minimalist funk fusion starts again one day that blend into unhinged, seamless jamming and psychedelia.

[@skiboat1977]

This was my “is this still --?” moment at my 1st show!!!

[@mophreo]

This was my first Phish show. Pretty much all I was familiar with really were the songs on the studio albums. I had a couple live recordings (remember b&p's?) but songs like Dirt, Vultures, Ginseng Sullivan, and a couple others were welcome surprises. And then the second set began. I'd never heard PYITE but it immediately became a huge favorite. Nothing could have prepared me for that Ghost though. I kept my hands on top of head the entire time just to make sure the top of my head didn't explode. It's one thing to listen to a tape or CD of PHISH at the top of their game; it's quite another to actually be there.

[@bcompasn8842]

SAME!!! happy upcoming phishiversary

[@deweytucker5413]

Well said.

[@sethstine4698]

yEp

[@terryatpi]

Sure. !!! Me too. Jk. Cool

[@MrHooks-hh7wc]

One of the funnest nights of my life. This Ghost was sick, but the YEM->Rocky Mountain Way->Chalkdust blew my mind.

[@jmjames66]

This was my 5th show and the whole show was great - This Atlanta show and the 2 shows from Atlanta 99 need to be on Live Phish! Hurry!!

[@andrewdyke5561]

Funkiest jam ever

[@Rottenfusion]

Ali, Gretzky, Jordan, Phelps, Ruth, Pele, Graf, Karelin, and this Ghost. Best ever.

[@onceuponasuperhero666]

Spot on

[@moheganson]

Rottenfusion Tom fucking Brady.

[@skiboat1977]

My very first show

[@bobscomix]

You missed Lemieux in that conver

[@jgfunk]

Tom Brady is missing...

[@foxtrotmediainc]

the turn this makes at 17:10 is what makes this the greatest band on earth

[@jessemichaels6274]

Foxtrot Media, Inc. what’s another favorite ghost in YOUR opinion.

[@jessemichaels6274]

Oh shit. 3 years ago lol. You’ll never respond.

[@jonpopa1908]

7-6-98, 11-17-97, 9-12-99, 5-22-00

[@jgfunk]

8-7-98 was pretty darn good too. Not on the Denver or Atlanta level, but very good

[@fundays7999]

Was my first Phish show,and was blown away🤩I didn’t realize at the time how magnificently funky,this Ghost was! I was literally speechless the whole show!!!As a 19yr old kid I was like dammnnn I need to do this wayyy more often! And so I DID😎

[@FZappa20]

Never gets old

[@theforeverpuddle8754]

+FZappa20 Chomper.

[@michealgolombik3536]

Chomper for life yo !

[@kylehorner8567]

where you from Chomps Mcgee, chomp city? Chompsville? you make me sick

[@zevilone]

still the best gh0st ever played

[@hesh8367]

zevilone The best part is that this can be argued with many prime examples, which just proves how many times they’ve torn this jam (and their audience’s minds) to shreds.

[@tswartz4871]

17:35 18:25 Even after 20 I years I get goosebumps almost every time I listen to these releases

[@bradb7010]

Usually I'm listening to Trey just shredding during this point, but today I focused on how F'ing ludicrous Fish is just crushing this too. Mind boggling jam.

[@TJosephExiles]

I’ll never understand the claim that time travel isn’t possible. I pressed play on this recording and for 23 minutes, I not only journeyed 27 years into the past, but somehow made it from Seattle to the shadows of Atlanta in an instant. No DeLorean, plutonium, 1.21 gigawatts of power, nor the flux capacitor capable of channeling it from a lightning strike was necessary. That’s just in movies, I guess.

[@andrewmalone8022]

the audio quality on this is absolutely amazing. this was from one of the best runs of their career. i never thought i'd hear this so clearly. 7/1-12/31/97 might be the actual pinnacle of phish. some of the themes from this jam were built out of the deer creek 7/22 DWD->Mike's that if you haven't heard you should go check out after this one.

[@sethstine4698]

Best Ghost ever. The quintessential Ghost.

[@vtogjava]

These shows were epic I was 18 and loving life and seeing Phish night after night, good times!!

[@1997Ghost]

i was 18 too man. cheers

[@PickpocketJones]

26 years and triple digit shows later and outside of Big Cypress this is still to this day my favorite show and jam.

[@ocoeepicture]

Thanks for this! Probably the best show of theirs I've been to so far.

[@theforeverpuddle8754]

Incredible Ghost and the sound is fantastic! Thanks. One of my favorite things that the pfish have done.

[@deweytucker5413]

I was there. Pure joy

[@michealgolombik3536]

sickness !!!! Thank You

[@wesscherer9266]

Love me a tight Ghost. Thanks for this.

[@jasonmedland2411]

Enjoyed this show! Something about Alpharetta though! Special place

[@astavely56]

This is soundboard audio for Ghost. I don't think any other tracks from this show are available from the soundboard source.

[@jdiggitydog]

Fantastic audioohhhhhhhh!

[@wescoe23]

just amazing don't know what else to say

[@ctbojar]

Hot damn! Forgot about this gem. Yup, best ghost.

[@rollindwnthemnt]

I love seeing a Phish post with no negative voting!

[@chrissterrmusic]

Yes! And, yes! To hear the Limb, and Possum with the skip Rouls

[@jamband64]

It's like Pilot Wings 64 soundtrack but in real life

[@bo5656]

Dude, yes.

[@jez443]

@23:52 they just don't that anymore, I don't think treys used that effect in all of 3.0

[@rcnhsuailsnyfiue2]

I miss the funk siren too :(

[@DublinSeafoodInc]

this is hooose. the whole thing is hose

[@captainmillenium_II]

I love the fact that you guys consider this the best ghost. While I personally don't agree, my pick being the 11/17/97 version and 2nd best being 11/28/97 this is my 3rd favorite. I was at all 3 of these shows and Ghost is my 2nd fav Phish song behind Slave to the Traffic Light. I am so fortunate to have seen 29 shows in 1997. To be 18 again...

[@_grateful_zen_4515]

No love for the Prague 97 ghost? c'mon dude! Its all apples and oranges..

[@captainmillenium_II]

The Prague Ghost is up there as well. Why can't they seem to play Ghost for longer than 10 minutes now a days?? They jammed Mike's Song after being notified. They jammed Tube after being notified. Time to get the message to them 👻.

[@_grateful_zen_4515]

Absolutely bro.....

[@Madcatcon199]

Patrick Sweeney the ghost at lockn was pretty dope!

[@jez443]

Radio City is my vote for Goat

[@deweytucker5413]

Good lord Mr. Gordon!!!

[@nickthebold]

so fucking metal at the end

[@chrissterrmusic]

Would be great, too.

[@bo5656]

Six to midnighttttttttt!

[@jgfunk]

Even my kids like that melody that starts at 9:27

[@tumbleweedjones]

Chubby Gordo slaps.

[@conjandysecurity]

Phine and phunky.

[@vickimurray413]
