Phish with Billy Strings - 8/6/2024 - Everything's Right (4K HDR)

It’s nice to see a stand-up guy like Billy help out some up-and-coming musicians like this Phish group.

You are a funny one. 😂

[@kevinconnor2473]

I woke up for a doctors appointment today. I had this song stuck in my head when I woke up and thought, “well that’s kind of a good sign”. I got some semi scary news about some stuff I’ve never dealt with before. I’ve been alright today. I had no idea they played this last night with my grandpas favorite musician Billy Strings. I can’t make this up. Thank you all

[@cdub9735]

Have faith ..be positive..

[@pdxhardys8868]

Bob Marley, Phish and BMFS agree, “every little things gonna be alright”.

[@mdaviar]

Hope you are doing well 🙏🤗

[@jeffmatthews5122]

Big props to Fishman and Gordon holding it all together. Let’s just give them all some love for that bit of magic. Wow.

Especially after they stepped on their balls a bit during the Train Song. lol

I said this both nights, Mike and Fishman just locked it down while all that was happening

You just watched two of the greatest musical savants trade Gospel in effortless chemistry. I am so happy to be alive to have seen this type of thing happen. Long live Music...

[@barclaydonaldson8863]

Billy is good ( correct).. Great.....next......phish is phish....great... Next.....

[@JamesJessenfedden]

“Two of the greatest musical savants”? Glad you are happy for this type of thing but leave the objective statements out of it. More like idiot savants.

[@WhiskeyPieSometimes]

Absolutely feel the same! Even just all the HD videos they post for years now, as a fan back in 2005 we had like 3 or 4 DVDs and that's it!

[@crmuth]

That was beyond excellent

[@JamesJessenfedden]

@@philiphempsey9127 Are you suggesting one needs to play as well as Jimmy Page or Eric Clapton (neither of whom could play like Trey or Billy) to push back on the notion of Trey and Billy being considered “two of the greatest musical savants”?

[@_aoxomoxoa]

I didn’t think I’d be able to see them for even just one day, and someone graciously gave me a 2 day pass (WITH INCREDIBLE SEATS!!). I’m so f-ing grateful to have this be my first show. And now I’m seeing them again tn, I’ve never been this happy in my life. Met amazing people last night and I can’t wait to see them again tn!!! 🎉🎉

[@BreakingPattern]

I’m always amazed when Trey plays with other guitarists how unique his phrasing is. It’s easy to take for granted when listening to hours of phish which I do on a weekly basis. This is amazing to see Billy on stage in the free flow improv bc he’s a badass in his own right but Trey is very unique in his style, phrasing, sound and composition. It shows in times like these. And to have someone his junior so good on stage with him makes him play like he did twenty years ago. Such a great moment and thank you for filming this truly.

[@herbythechef7624]

Trey is truly one of a kind guitarist

[@EndangeredSouls]

Like when he plays with Derek Trucks, he can hold his own with other greats

[@AllenBArmstrong]

I saw BBKing 09 and it was awesome and being in normally shitty seats you could not tell except I could see and everytime I thought it was Trey it would be Bb and vice versa. This really beats it cause they did all BB songs.. Billy Strings crushes and I'll be glad when it happens..

[@danielhigginbotham7207]

Beautifully said!

[@bobweaver7799]

@@EndangeredSoulsTrey at his peak is the greatest to ever do it imo. I mean not like on some crazy stunt shit. He can literally play it all perfect better sounding than just about everyone. He pulls so much soul from his guitar it’s crazy. Derek trucks is probably the only one I can say is better than Trey.

[@alan-daniel]

7:42 Mike landing on the D right when Trey and Billy morph into one is what I live for. God i love this band

[@guy14552]

I appreciate and search for timestamp comments of special moments like this

[@lukeleeburton3072]

Thanks for marking that. That moment gave me shivers. The beauty of a Phish jam rather than just some guys soloing over a band holding it down. (not that there is anything wrong with that! Just nice to hear those surprises opening things up into unpredictable territory).

[@alan-daniel]

@@guy14552 I do, too! Love geeking out with everyone about just how nuts it is that these guys can do this stuff in front of thousands of people every night

[@BenGardner87]

You and I share a similar appreciation for these moments. Billy said it well in his post thanking the band. He was up there long enough to go swimming with the band, and I think this is an example of what he was talking about. This wasn't just your standard "take a solo, sing a couple verses" guest spot.

[@BrianBachanf]

Amazing moment. Gordon in full effect

[@dknapp100]

Born & raised & live in Michigan. been seeing Phish since 96. This. was. THEE best I've seen them play since Big Cypress. Add hometown Billy ....this was fucking unreal. Just got home. Feels like a great & bazaar dream. Thank you thank you thank you.

[@modelcitizen1977]

It's rare that Billy isn't the best guitar player on stage, and it was cool to see how much Trey was supporting him. He was on the ragged edge of improvisation with what is essentially the best backing band in the world to morph into whatever he needs instantly. Great stuff.

[@maxpower92]
