Phish - Moma Dance - Live in Brooklyn

From Keyspan Park, Brooklyn, NY - 6/17/04

[@ericwoodard1103]

Even in the darkest of days there is light...

[@kerrim.stefanik6339]

Super duper great music!🎶🎵🎶

[@Smegma_pirate]

Yes there is light that comes from your butt. It’s called a brown hole.

[@gonephishin123]

One correction: this is the BEST Moma. Also probably one of the greatest phish jams of all time. There is a sense of perfect unity among the band in this song. It's... it's... it's perfect.

[@TubeFlop]

Not everything has to be a list of best to worst. It's a great jam and let's just leave it at that

[@chrismason6392]

@@TubeFlop also nothing was perfect from this year . Some good a lot of bad but it is what makes them today . The best fucking rock band on the planet of our generation .

[@chrismason6392]

By the way not perfect phish is still better than almost everything else so there is that too ;)

[@TMan-et6zk]

Definitely best moma. I listen to it everyday this one 🎉

[@danielepps4206]

I would argue that the Ventura version is superior to this in funkiness and cohesiveness

[@t.j.schaff2478]

As a jazz pianist I'm always so impressed with Page's percussive comping under Trey's solos. He's so interactive! I wish they'd zoom in on his keyboards more in this take! Jazz musicians could learn a thing or two from this group's chemistry

[@tw8454]

i was tripping lastnight and thats ALL i could think of. these guys do so many pieces of music (not just songs) that the highest level of musical education would very much appreciate and want to study. this isnt just a drug band. these 4 guys are music genius’ and i dont use that phrase lightly

[@grecorobert97]

@@tw8454 Well put my friend. Same exact thing goes for the Dead, and countless other bands, jam or otherwise.

[@newusernamehere4772]

I like to think they wouldve collaborated with Miles Davis if he'd made it a few more years.

[@douglasbrodigan2174]

Dude is higher than a giraffe clam just shredding wheat. This is the best video on the internet.

[@TheGokitchen]

My devotion is split down the middle. Saw my first Dead show in 87 at MSG. Was blessed to be a part of their late career renaissance, which in my opinion started to fade in 92. The baton for life changing live shows was handed off in late ’91 when I saw my 1st PH at the Capitol in Port Chester, NY. It’s the preverbal apples and oranges.Jerry was more prone to tickle my heartstrings where Trey melted my face. Thank god Trey and co have adopted a healthy lifestyle. They will be @ for a long time.

[@lokispeicher8103]

twas never the same after Brent died... Welnick was horrible imho

[@grecorobert97]

@@lokispeicher8103To each their own of course, but I don't understand why people loathed Vince so badly. I absolutely love the sounds and grooves he brought to the table. Not the same as with Brent, but just more different interesting sounds and feelings. Same as with all their keys players. I'm just infatuated with the different kinds of Dead they helped produce.

[@lokispeicher8103]

@@grecorobert97 I appreciate your positivity brother! Excellent way to look at things. Did you ever wonder why Vince was never included in any of the post-Jerry incarnations? Chimenti and Barraco (sp?) aren't complaining about said omission I reckon....Samba In the Rain? Way To Go Home? nope...Ok in light of your positive spin I will admit that I did rather enjoy his take on Tomorrow Never Knows...I was so on "team Brent" that there's a good chance that I would have rejected anyone trying to fill his seat now that I think about it...One Love

[@fox2mike28]

This version never fails to take my breath away. I always felt that, given the intensity and raw power of Trey's solo on this Moma, it's like through his playing you are truly hearing a man screaming in pain over the decision he has just made. That's just my interpretation.

[@awesomejohnnet]

One of the most creative bands in music... Thank God some people are still enjoying the art instead of chasing hit singles...

[@johnsmith-hb1ry]

Thats what makes phish one of the greatest bands of all time, the fact that they arnt making music for the money they make it for the pure artistic joy it brings them and in turn us how many other bamds openly let their fans record and distribute or trade their music like jerry said once its been played it belongs to the people.i remember way back when napster was big and alot o bands (metallica) comes to mind first were bitching and crying about how it was taking food outa their mouths lol i never reallh cared for them but after that crybaby shit just shows how much some people really care bout nothing other then the paychek

[@sdmumbo134]

awesomejohnnet nahh dude look up some jazz fusion Phish gets reallll old realllll fast jazz is far more creative and artistic in my opinion.

[@scottipippen]

nothing wrong with making money off art. as long as it's that: art

[@hippogator]

john smith Except for that one time Trey explained how their ultimate goal was to make money doing what they loved to do.

One of my favorite performances of MOMA dance. The whole band is just so on point.

[@RobertSchoolcraft-yu6km]

One of my favorite live performances of all time.

[@JamesConley1234]

Everyone is playing so good here. This was my first Phish show I ever fell in love with. Bought the DVD with my weed money when I was like 14 and never looked back. Really love this whole show.. especially the Curtain With. Made me want to take up drumming, and I did.

[@tzvetlinvelev4238]

probably one of the best pieces of music ive ever heard

[@sdmumbo134]

I feel bad for you man you need to look up Shawn Lane and Jonas Hellborg, Snarky Puppy, Robert Glasper and a hell of alot more music before you call this the best piece of music youve ever heard

[@fbskier20]

it can be argued that this is the most psychedelic music ever created. hard to enter this stuff into a dick measuring contest with those fusion chopsters because the context of this music is much different.

[@sdmumbo134]

LOL chopsters this music cant compare to the soul those guys have this moma is dope but doesnt compare to that amazing music i mentioned

[@fbskier20]

Yo don't get it man, I am saying this stuff can't be compared to the other music you mentioned because of difference in context. This music is built for psychedelic spaceship transportation, the other stuff is very high level jazz fusion stuff that is incredible too. It's all awesome in its own way and I really don't think you can compare these worlds.

[@johnsmith-hb1ry]

I never heard of them before a few months ago but snarky puppy played a show in indy and while it was deff cool and i dug it its nowhere near a live phish show, i agree with dude they are on a whole other level than most other bands

[@chris-yi8tc]

The last 5 minutes of this is out of control good. They're all at their absolute best.

[@tw8454]

2003 was a special time good and bad. 2.0 doesnt get enough credit sometimes

[@TheLobstarman]

That's funny because some say 2004 was there worst 😢

[@ryankearns8773]

GOAT Moma, not even close. Also some of Trey's just absolute finest hendrix level expressive cathartic rips. MONEY.

Yup. Trey channeling Deep Good thing he made it back. This jam needs an exorcist!

[@Creed_fan_69]

As a musician, ex heroin addict, and phish fan, I will say that there’s a sweet spot with music and opiates and while it doesn’t last long and is ultimately destructive more often than not, it exists and is a wonderful place to be for however long it lasts.

[@markranfone6393]

They were deep in the pocket with this jam

[@JabbaDuhHut]

One of the best versions of this song performed during a very dark period for the band. Remarkable.

[@jeremytrieloff]

This is my favorite Moma for sure. Just crystal clear, precise, and jams way into outer space. Don't care if it's 2.0 and Trey's guitar sounds thinner than ever. The Free and Possum are absolute fire as well in this show.

[@johnchsrealtor]

Trey def played off his TAB 2000/2001/2002 jazzy influenced band and brought that tone to 2.0. I myself love the Trey tone from later 1.0 but prefer Gordon's sound in 2.0. I remember hearing that he canned the ross compressors which was what boosted his tone to cut through the mix. I'm still very found of 2.0 even though it was very hit or miss. If it hit, it slapped, if it was a miss it was horrible.

[@filldrummin42]

Was at this show and just remember screaming my head off at the 9 minute mark. So freaking powerful and intense! Can't believe how fortunate I am to be here while this is going on. Fucking WIN!

[@zoso5275]

So I heard a little tab on a dead station and was like ohhhh shiiiiiit and thought I might dig round a bit. A really good buddy said 97 would be a good place for me to start.....I found this round 9 months ago and I keep coming back over and over. I now have most of the 90s in my library, however the music never stops.

[@TheBeerBaron88]

Finally!! I cannot believe that this moma dance was not posted on KZbin for so long.

[@nicholaswilliamson6762]

[@richardflyman]

jesus christ this is the best modern day performing act. and they are so in sync now more than ever, these guys fuckin tear it up. they have more creativity than any of you haters; they have a monstrous following despite having no radio hits, sell out Madison Square every new years, and yea Trey is a badass guitarist, probably one the best of his generation. if you don't like them, fine but you can't deny the talent that they each possess.

[@theforeverpuddle8754]

Best mona dance ever. Trey looks about 4 hours late for his fix but sounds great. I love listening to fish sing too.

[@Rmc2123]

Yeah, with the trainwreck (treynwreck?) that was vegas shortly before this and trainwreck that was coventry shortly after this, its amazing to me how good this is.

[@williamwiles3131]

He probably wasn't even getting very high at that point, he is a walking scarecrow, at some point the effect of drug diminishes. I think he gets in zone regardless of the drug consumed. I saw phish at Dicks and they can f-ing rip it with no buzz on whatsoever. I play myself, quit using everything several years ago, and playing effect is much more powerful with no inhibition imho. Don't need oxy to get there.

[@euphegenia]

[@randytheriault1386]

through continuous repetition of these little funky jamming bits attached together ,each time they play it you can wind up with a completely different version .They eventually just keep getting better and better at these bits .This is tight !

[@moontimes54]

i think thats why this Moma is so incredible. Moma is a naturally pretty repetitive song even when it was still Black Eyed Katy. but with this version, the first time listener might expect your everyday average moma dance but this completely blows it out of the water exactly how you said, with that funky dirty 2.0 energy building!!!
