[@KhalDrogo76]

As a fan since 1993 this literally makes me well up for some reason hard to explain...it's a brighter world with these guys out there still making moments like these

[@6sfo]

Right? Miracle, them coming along when they did, overlapping the Dead, so that magical spectacle gatherings never did die after the 1965. The greedheads could start grinding us down unless a new power rises up soonish.

[@sixfootben4892]

You kids are lucky.. glad to see they still brining the joy. I remember beingat the final show at Coventry and I'm glad they came back.. I'm 47 and retired from the scene. But I'm happy for you kids. Keep it alive and take care of each other

[@MrTWillz]

Thanks kind internet stranger for posting this! Been a phan for close to 30 years and never seen anything like it. I do feel bad for whoever had to pick all those jaws up off the floor of MSG last night, but wow - what a show! Happy 2024!

[@JArtinger425]

Some say the roar from inside MSG was so loud, that at that moment, the phans drowned out most of Manhattans street noise.

[@dyrwolf]

No doubt. Seen it before.

[@d4ydr34m3r420]

I cant wait to see the look of that little ickemans face when he hears this crunchy groove

[@Andriig75]

Who?

[@jeremysantiago8661]

i enjoy the wide shot and just watched the whole thing synced to the livephish app at work. taping should be freely shared, thanks for the effort.

[@spoonito]

THANK YOU for posting this and letting me live vicariously through my laptop.... what an amazing night! xoxoxo to all!!!!

[@Gumbo72203]

as soon as that second part of Harpua hits, I lose it. Every time.

[@DPaintingC]

Took some time for me to really believe they were even doing it, we get fucked with so much and teased…and then you finally realize no wait. This…is…IT! So wild. Thank you Phish

[@erikcarrillo789]

When the rhombus rose, I started to lose my shit. I still get teary eyed watching these vids. 27 years I been chasing this unicorn, and by the grace of god I got it! But I kept thinking that for the remainder of the second set. "WOULD this be a FULL Gamehengdge or was there a bigger gag in play?" Wasn't until they ACTUALLY continued the story in the third set that I started to believe there would be no fuckery this time! And I was on the floor for NYE. Been 24 years since I had a 4 night run at MSG, and BOY was it worth it!

[@iamwhoiam7482]

They actually did it! Hope all who were there had a great time!

[@DRourk]

Tears of joy flowed.... more than ever.

[@mdillhoff1]

I don't consider myself in the phamily, just a passive phish observer since the mid 90's. This is such an incredible musical and artistic event! What must be going through Trey's noggin as all this unfolds? Just wild. Bravo to all involved, I get happy tears watching all the joy in this room. PS - that AC/DC Bag is 🔥

[@xGRlT]

Thank you so much for uploading. Best show I've ever been to. Period. Almost fell over when Harpua started, it was too good to be true.

[@Starwarsfan114]

Same here! Genuine shock and awe!

[@jasonhoward295]

Me too!! And then it just got better and better!

[@mbass718]

Thanks so much for posting this. It was really such a magical night. It was my 6th new years show and I gotta say overall it was one of the best shows I've ever seen them play.

[@user-gd7tv1zh8m]

Best New Year's show ever . . .

[@deweytucker5413]

The first show where, “you didn’t have to be there” to get IT. This is for everyone that loves Phish. That’s how genius they are with marketing, lure, talent and career longevity. If you know, you know, and believe me, that’s how they persevere.

[@mikevalencia-nk2bm]

Dude you did great. Thanks for this. I was behind the stage. Wow great job.

[@jackepstein4028]

Me too but it was pretty epic anywhere in that building!

[@stivs5743]

Hearing the girl say "holy shit..." around the ten minute mark gave me goosebumps. What a special experience for everyone there.

[@JC-kh1gi]

Absolutely thank you! If there’s one show I wish I could’ve made it’s this (And sphere maybe). Can’t tell you how much phish makes me weepy with how imaginative they are and give the phans what they want & more. It’s a lovely symbiosis

[@LapSteelYourFace]

Thank you. I was at 12.31.95. Wish I could been there for the full New Years Gamhenge with all the props.

[@user-gd7tv1zh8m]

Wow 95 new year was awesome to he Halloween show 95 is crazy

[@Starwarsfan114]

Thanks so much for posting! Was there, was mind blown, had chills and fought back tears the whole time. So grateful to share with my family tonight

[@georgelucas7430]

Amazing! Thanks for the upload

[@Lomhow]

thank you for posting this

[@nomad5375]

best set in years

[@joshshepherd3159]

Huge Huge thank you for posting, I hope you had an amazing time.

[@teleterrapin]

Don't worry, I did! I'm not much of a dancer, more of a head nodder.

[@rdklarnet4120]

The Rhombus stage is Legendary!

[@EdLaughs]

thank you

[@chrisarnold6852]

This should be a dvd i thinka,fills in a lot of gaps i had about Phish knowledge.really cool

[@cloudstar845]

Best Phish show ever! I've waited 32 years, exactly 250 shows, 70 at MSG, and 20 on NYE for this magic moment to happen. There's a lot of people complaining about this or that, mostly bc they weren't there. Or maybe they just started listening to Phish and don't recognize how legendary this moment was. Was it perfect? In a "Wabi-Sabi" sense, yes, all things are.

[@joenartowicz199]

Exactly...the only people complaining are the ones that weren't there and need to make themselves feel better about it. 100%

[@christophercoyle9739]

Ok DLR

[@erikcarrillo789]

Legendary is an understatement :D Those same complainers likely also don't know the meaning of the rhombus ;)

[@sixfootben4892]

Been a fan since 1990 and never saw a gamehendge.

[@cleech74]

Thank you for sharing this with us. Can’t wait to watch all of it. They really went above & beyond with this retelling, and gave everyone a proper performance of the thing fans hold in the highest regard from the band. Jealous of those who were there, but happy they got the full experience. Well played, boys.

[@AtmaRising]

All bagged up!

[@DC-jg8pl]

Genius.

[@DrewD76]

I see Trey having this on broadway soon.

[@jasongoldstein5189]

This is great. Now someone has to synch it with the SBD recording.

[@user-zl5kd9il2p]

LGR!!! Hard to believe it was 94 once...

[@nicoyoung1998]

9:26 A mix of happiness and sadness at the same time

[@tombadil64]

I was there, sweet jesus in heaven i was there...

[@treebatiki]

Thank You for This. Glad you took the $ down. However this is why #firetreykerr. With 1 camera you captured what the band waned to give us and with the world he failed.

[@johngjacobi]

Nectar!!

[@FaFaFoFoBawth]

I saw the last Gamehendge 1994, yet this was one of the best nights of my life

[@bigbadmedia]

maybe the last fast llama? trey was givin' er.

[@XX-tc4ki]

I was out of town on New years so missed the stream, thank you very much this is incredible, cringy and silly but wow amazing and fun

[@rdklarnet4120]

The Rhombus is a Portal…

[@bathtub_jim7652]

Gamehenge reaction

[@eray9934]

Man, that sure shut up all the peeps complaining about that DWD!

[@matthewpoppe3560]

I didn’t complain about it, but I knew they were holding back on something when they killed it early. I was sorta right, I guess. Best nye ever!

[@gayanastasio]

Was wondering if there was a way you could share the raw files of this to make a really nice HD version? Please contact me

[@TheFutureIsThePast77]

Cool. What is the Trapezoidal Square Thing For?

[@6sfo]

Well, it's obviously a CK5 near-space portal. So jumping off-planet to the nearest space station, probably. You must be new here.

[@TheFutureIsThePast77]

Why New? Probably Isn’t Knowing. Kinda Wondering How It Fits In With Gamehendge ?

[@teleterrapin]

It's THE RHOMBUS phish.net/faq/the-rhombus

[@mikevalencia-nk2bm]

Rhombus is a sculpture and it’s at the Institute for advanced study in Princeton New Jersey where Trey and tom used to write songs. Divided sky was written at the rhombus .

[@6sfo]

@@mikevalencia-nk2bm They banged on the rhombus until they had some musical phrases - and then fleshed it out into a song later on. They were busy praying to it and setting a fire in it at the time.

[@MrMarmar420]

I would consider taking that donation link down before I contact people you DONT want to be contacted by.....

[@teleterrapin]

Had no idea, thank you!

[@Mcgovern124]

Thanks for sharing, but I don’t know how I’d stand there filming anything during this epic moment. Put the phone away and enjoy the moment FFS

[@gmcsrbosavl6964]

Why tell other people what to do?

[@erikcarrillo789]

I dont know how they do it. Or how tapers had such discipline back in the day when it was mostly cassette tapes, but I respect their devotion, and appreciate their work. We all play a part, I am sure the OP was enjoying the moment as much as the rest of us!

[@MichaelLisk]

Why do people like this?

[@jaywilson7832]

Nostalgia. And I'm here for it. First heard this narration in a cassette trade by mail in 1994 - - before the last two 'performances' that summer.

[@gmcsrbosavl6964]

Why do people like anything? It appeals to them.

[@vervor]

Just enjoy it man.

[@MichaelLisk]

@@gmcsrbosavl6964 Even when it's awful?

[@gmcsrbosavl6964]

@@MichaelLisk you’re trolling, but i’ll play along. What is awful to you may not be awful to someone else. So yes, people like all kinds of things that you consider to be awful. And it doesn’t make anybody right or wrong; we all like what we like. Seems like bands like Phish - bands who are clearly an aquired taste who somehow have managed to aquire a huge, obsessive fan base - really seem to rub some people the wrong way and also seem to attract a lot of trolls. “Why do people like something I think is awful?” Well junior, it is as simple as this: they don’t think it’s awful.

[@patrickmorley9844]

Fucking bullshit, why the boys wait so long. I envy anyone that was there. But I will say this, I saw it when it was pure.😉

[@BDB78]

Haha! Yeah brother! You’re old like me!

[@rm1133]

Thank you so much @teleterrapin
