Phish - Ghost Jam 7-6-98 Prague SBD

[@jmlrugby11]

Best guitarist of the past 30 years

[@SnackinBill]

For real, that's what a rock star looks like. Unreal.

[@letsgomets181]

The guitar playing in this video is just incredible

[@drooski1111]

its not all about trey here... i will say he is KILLING it but the band as a whole here is something else. all of them shine here.

[@guitarvocs]

I'm an old Deadhead and late to the Phish party, but this is Just Exactly Perfect and I don't care who knows it. And I agree with a91585, it's really four aces playing at their peak. Fish just tears me up. (May be blasphemy, but I really wish the Grateful Dead would have had a drummer as good as Fish!) Geez, this must be that face-melting thing the kids talk about.

[@MikeinAustin]

I never tire of coming back to this

[@WitStream1]

I don't see how this can't make you shed a tear if you really love Phish, or just rock and roll in general. My fucking god!

[@WHOAnesto]

I CAN WATCH THIS FOREVER ON LOOP! p.s. umphrey's is my band, but I'd be a liar if I didn't acknowledge that the peaks of Phish are greater than any band EVER.

[@ACLNOLES]

^

[@twenty7en]

Treys raw emotion is insane. I have been watching this over and over for years now haha straight hose

[@WHOAnesto]

basically the reason I got into Phish. Listen to this jam almost weekly.

[@ericjams]

I love at the 1:00 mark where Trey is seemingly paying attention to a sound/light guy off stage and is still ripping, effortlessly.

[@phartknocker]

maybe the best youtube phish vid there is.

[@TheHOONIS]

4:17 I can never get enough of it. By far, the best Ghost EVER!

[@JJGPhila8]

Trey is pulsating on stage in this one.. simply face melting!

[@gushfest]

PHUNK. by far one of my favorite jams. the funk was certainly swelling in prague that night.

[@roxy4472]

Trey deserved a way higher spot on Rolling Stone's 100 best guitarists of all time list. WTF??? They never saw this jam.

[@Acidrainia]

Too many people forget how great of an ear Gordon has.

[@waxmaniac2]

This is why I fucking love Phish

[@Linz9987]

a pleasure to listen to. primetime!

[@trinocular]

love how trey just blasts off. that's like the old days; everybody else just holds it down.

[@CJLMarketing]

do you think the rest of the band is just like, "holy shit where did that come from?" this is such a aggressive ghost jam, holy shit

[@molecularchaos]

just mind blowing. goosebumps on this October morning....

[@Matt-Morgeson]

And just so there's no confusion, but it's the Digitech Whammy II pedal he's using. Its an older version. Not to be confused with todays big red whammy version.

[@Posterharpua]

so fucking sick this is one of my favorite ghosts

[@avhalofan123]

it's also his boomerang looper, he took a loop of that lick he was playing and actually reversed it so it came out backwards over the PA while simultaneously bringing the whole sequence up an octave with the whammy pedal. fucking J E D I

[@MordecaiKart64]

AWESOME. I'm almost positive that LivePhish offers this mp3 for free, go check it out folks!

[@1arm72]

trey absolutely fuckin already melted faces eveywhere

[@MordecaiKart64]

best phish on youtube imo

[@cmvanderwiel]

this is incedible

[@midwestskater2]

this is why everybody should love phish

[@pkuhn91]

un-fucking-real....Trey is the absolute man PERIOD

[@DubWiseify]

We used to call it the machine when they got locked in like this. Hide yo wife.. I mean good lord. 97/98/99/00 were my main years and we'd just laugh at how good it was... all the time.

[@jeniaq420]

love this show front to back~

[@rjd91289]

holy shit this is amazing

[@mw383]

God, it's so stupendous: living in this tube...

[@huebertd]

what is that repeating riff he does, when he is using the pitch shifter at like 3:40 to 4:20. it sounds so good

[@donaldprichard1916]

OMFG @ 5:30

[@sammartin6110]

YES!!!!!!

[@trinocular]

man i miss that guy.

[@BlackNapkins86]

Man, that was fucking awesome. Holy fuck.

[@freeskier80]

I believe you're talking about the digitech whammy II. He gets the dive bomb effect with that puppy, its used like a wah pedal.

[@IMFletcher1]

Machine gun Trey.

[@liquidrider47]

@waxmaniac2 He is Yoda's father.

[@jkesty]

Did you people hating on Phish even WATCH the video? Because I'd say this about wraps it up... What a nasty jam.

[@dalastejas]

jedi'd. at 4:05 - 4:15 trey shows us he knows they're about to kill it

[@huebertd]

I love at about 251 they all change the groove just a little bit, and then its on. yay

[@huebertd]

this is the video you show a person who says phish sucks. watch them have there face melted

[@phishshn]

Well put. Both bands have a totally different way of performing the face melt trick. If you're one of the lucky people where both bands tricks work on you..... then I guess we're in the same club. :)

[@dhaselton]

gd i hope trey doesn' have a chronic, progressive disease that the opiates were covering up so that he could play like this. Cuz he can't now, at least for the most part. still love em and see em a lot, and NOT a hater. this shit melts my face. love thee guys. here's to a sick 2010!

[@Phishboy26]

Fuckin sick.

[@campbellhatch]

OH... yea

[@ericjams]

its just so so good.

[@hellbornelfchild]

Crazy shit mang!!!

[@waxmaniac2]

Trey is a JEDI

[@JoeBu24]

Greatest video on the tronz...even better than Grape Lady.

[@verymooner]

this doesn't have over a million views because its been posted by several other people, check out the views on some of the other postings of this video

[@rjd91289]

trey gettin his gun off!!

[@garybewsy]

yes

[@danelrey77]

I wish they would do something crazy and cover this jam note for note. To open every show. And close them, too.

[@ghodbc]

4:02 Trey = Jordan

[@treywarren2204]

wow, just wow

[@AtmaRising]

raw energy!!!

[@Displaysac90]

Damn that's good.

[@YonderedOUT]

my head just exploded! fucking amazing!

[@huebertd]

this version sounds alot better than the non sound board one.

[@ProtozoaSound]

Anyone know where to grab this in SBD quality? (minus LivePhish cause I'm cheap) EDIT: jk, just found this in the "Ambiance 1998" compilation floating around Phish.net and the like

[@misphotod]

@phunkybiotch lol! Perhaps they have horrible aim and missed the "like" button by about a centimeter. I can't imagine how frustrating that must be for them. :P

[@subiej25]

Does anyone know what effect trey puts on at around 4:00 ?? It lasts until 4:05 I think he puts on some distortion right before this but I'm interested in the effect that has the weird pitch change to it

[@xSm0ky]

I will miss that guitar.

[@willb483]

machine. gun. trey.

[@jgfunk]

@roxy4472 I was thinking the same thing. What was he ranked? 72nd or something?

[@funkymeter411]

When I die, this is where I wanna go

[@moeron420024]

Tray is killing it

[@grant5603]

moeron420024 it's Troy

[@ColtoSillas]

this and the piper from this same show are fucking insane

[@pazleen]

absolutely

[@thedizzit]

is this from the prague show that was somewhat recently released on cd?

[@willb483]

when page stands up during the jam, get ready for a face melt.

[@cerqs76]

After seeing this... how the fuck could ANYONE say "phish sucks!"

[@arz703]

love you trey

[@washuffitze2]

i love that shit eating grin when he kicks on the whammy around 4:00. see you at the mothership!

[@OneMike2013]

can someone please explain to me WHAT HE DOES AT 4:02 WHAATTTTTT??!?!??!?!? tone master.

[@mw383]

starting at 3:36, trey told Pluto not to be a planet anymore. Pluto listened.

[@paullybizzle]

good shit

[@mcintire09]

so about that whole trey isn't a top 50 guitarist of all-time...

[@617tbone]

YEAH RED

[@jeffsal]

Summer 98 - the last great tour

[@AtmaRising]

ahhh....the pitch shift days

[@ghodbc]

some fuckin' rock n' fuckin' roll

[@wolfmudder]

wow

[@poniverus]

it's ok if you don't get it dylan. not everyone does!!

[@vailtelemon]

This is almost as good as tube37

[@pazleen]

Whole-heartedly agree with ya, but that riff at 4:17 is off the mutha-fuckin chain, son.

[@richiemabie]

@dylan1728 if they are so boring . who is not ??

[@spk13066]

comparing dmb and phish is apples and oranges as well but still they both do have a good live show .... as far as musically phish is traveling at mach speed

[@Henroll-]

ahh!

[@phishnet003]

dylan, buddy, the lack of intelligence shown in that comment is unbelievable. Especially after Trey Michael Jordan'd mid rip.

[@shaunboyd27]

i do too!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@collectiveconscify]

at 6:00... the big bang occurs for a parallel universe. where trey is GOD...oh wait thats here too.

[@Obiwannabe]
