Phish - Maze (12.11.97)

[@BrokeTheSeal]

One of the best Maze solos from both Trey and Page. Happy I saw them from '94-2000. Also, the unsung hero of the band: Paul Languedoc. After seeing 100+ shows, I never saw Trey break a string, switch guitars on stage or even tune his guitar! Unreal craftsmanship. Wish I could get one.

[@johnballs0540]

I want a Languedoc sooo bad

[@dyldvine]

They should start titling these videos the same way they title the political news and commentary videos: "Trey and Page ABSOLUTELY SHRED on Maze; crowd is left SPEECHLESS"

[@jasonspeth1865]

20 years ago today... I was there with my buddy Mike Bardo. What a fucking show.

[@aubreytrotter8391]

RIDICULOUS!!! Miss these days...

[@RobinC.Pinkman-n6w]

Word the fuck up! I adore Trey.

[@Travelin_Man]

After I heard this it changed my life forever .... destination Summer Tour 1998! Junior year of high school 🤩✌️

[@incidentalist]

Last time I saw them was fall of 16' and MAZE was my favorite moment of the entire night!! LOVE!! Hopefully they come back this year! Either gonna see them at Gorge, Dicks or NYE!! And man, this one was fire!! 🙌🙌🎇✨

This is the song / version the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse will ride out to.

[@MrDuffy81]

Actually, it’s get what you give by the new radicals. Check it out when you have the time. Welcome to the New World order.

[@SOAMLE]

MrDuffy81 oh man I’m a HUGE new rads fan. That entire album is a masterpiece start to finish.

[@MrDuffy81]

@@SOAMLE I love that song but that is the song that Joe Biden chose to play. The reason is because of the Jesuit mantra and the Catholic belief about works for salvation. They don’t believe that Jesus died for your sins and that you were saved because of that. They believed you need to put in work for the Catholic Church like the mafia that it is to get your payoff. That’s why they chose that song because it held that theme. You only get what you give. Which is logical but in a spiritual sense the meaning is demeaning

Hands down the best Maze in my book.

Same. Phish destroyed Rochester that night.

[@pocono_paintball]

This is so good. It kind of makes me sad since there is no chance of Trey ever coming close to this again. I'm so glad I was able to see some shows in the mid to late 90s.

[@McK9999]

Haydays here.

[@SoStupendousTube]

There's no chance we'll ever hear a Maze like this again. But nothing I see can be taken from me.

[@ChristopherWarren-w2e]

How about Pittsburgh 2000 when they did Maze-Shafty-Maze??? That still fucks with my head to this day. In a great way of course. Check it out guys it’ll blow you away

[@audiofunkdialect]

When I first started listening to phish in 1998 maze was my favorite song cause I couldn’t figure out how he was doing that on the guitar. The four night run at the garden that just happened this year in 2022 were my first shows ever. The second night they played a very intense maze which I was very impressed by because I didn’t know they had that intensity anymore. Give a listen maze aficionados and let me know what you think.

[@jacepuddin8312]

I was there too. Absolute banger!

Man I hate to be this guy cause I love Phish, but I caught a couple shows in '97 and Trey was just shredding smh. I remember saying to my friend, "what a show off, he's fucking lovin it." Guitar heroics like THIS ☝️we will just never get from Trey ever again. I've found comfort in Cactus and Fish in my later Phish listening lifetime lol.🤯💯🎶✌
