Phish-Ya Mar-Clifford Ball

Phish's Ya Mar at The Clifford Ball. I own no copyrights to this video.

[@mollyphoenix9871]

Whenever I'm having a really shitty day and losing faith in humanity, Phish helps me remember that no matter how overwhelming this place is, the world is filled with beauty, community and joy!

[@TheGrandAstoria]

words of wisdom!

[@tydouglas3013]

I love you guys. That was what I needed read. The forum show on 7/27 saved my life.

[@jodyneal4969]

Amen to that

[@laundrysavior5548]

Specifically this version of this song

[@pickle338]

Lift each other up.

[@STSGuitar16]

Trey absolutely does NOT get the credit he deserves for his playing. He is a complete and total master in every possible way on the instrument, yet unless you’re in the jam band scene you’ve probably never even heard of him before. I mean, his playing in the video alone demonstrates his total command of the instrument but he is far from the mainstream even in the guitar community. Coming from another jam band guitarist, he is just super, super, super stupidly good. Jimmy Herring is another generational talent on guitar who also doesn’t get the credit he deserves.

[@Tfististhis]

He’s so underrated for his actual guitar work it’s insane

[@STSGuitar16]

@@Tfististhis it actually really is insane. He can play just about every genre and even do a better job in that genre than some other guitarists who just focus on that one single genre. Funk, rock, blues, prog, jazz, hard rock, reggae, folk, and Spanish styles are what immediately comes to mind in terms of genres that Trey has basically mastered. Like I said, even in the guitar community he doesn’t get very much love at all, which truly is crazy. I think this word gets used too much, but Trey 100% is a MASTER on guitar in every single way.

[@camtron]

I love Trey's sound currently, but damn his guitar had such a bite to it back then.

[@marshallnelson1919]

Wish I had a mustard colored velour button up. That shirt wails!

[@Madcatcon199]

that shirt was epic

[@dklangjets]

word to that

[@justinlalugski2083]

legend has it Trey still wears it around the house....

[@agropsychonaut]

Wish i had the neon green shorts Mike wore one of the Clifford Ball days... Or some cut-off jean shorts Bob Weir would wear on any given day. Bob then and Bob now are like two different Bobs. It's like he adopted part of Jerry's soul after he died...

[@FaqueGoogle-wo6ip]

NO! Bob sucks jon mayers twank Fuck Bob

[@schollrj]

The first and the best!!!!! Belly full of fungus, Fishman side in the front. Taken backstage for the end of the set for a photo shoot for one of the documentaries - I must have looked happy, like we all did that weekend :) On the way out, ran into Trey being interviewed by two State Troopers for the local news. Had no choice, followed my feet, and shared a hug, a quick word and a smile. I miss you all there

[@DeadheadInABed]

Belly full of fungus!

[@k.c1126]

This is a cover of a song by a Bahamian artist, Cyril Ferguson, aka Dry Bread. Look him up!!!

[@heatherrogersmeister2559]

I was here and I remember how fun it was when Trey shouted, play it Leooooooo! Forgot about that til I just lived it again... sometimes KZbin is beautiful. ❤️

[@trashbandakoot4577]

um u know there be a play it leo in ever yamar :) super tour tho

[@daryl7277]

25 years of listening to Phish and it never ever gets old. Thank you Phish! There is still faith in humanity.

[@spacemanspiff4152]

30 years old now and feel the same way brother

[@jackeminor]

I wonder if Trey has seen himself in this in recent times and been like, "DAMNNNN I really sliced that one up!!"

[@DennisCampbell777]

They still sound this good today. All summer they kicked ass.

[@indrayamar8764]

Shit they tear it up now more than ever. Sober Phish = amazingly in sync Phish.

[@sarahsmile79]

I remember being 17 at this festival. Drove with friends from Maryland. Yamar was a highlight for me.

[@mikebelliveau5441]

trey killed it he does a crazy solo and doesnt even look at his fingers love it

[@bahamianempress5138]

The original song came from The Bahamas 🇧🇸 #242 all the way 🎵

[@Blissjunkie42029]

One of my favorite Ya Mar's, Trey killed it with ease, plays it like it ain't no thang!

[@daryl7277]

Another epic solo from Trey. Best version of this song for sure.

[@jackeminor]

One of his best filmed solos ever and def the best Ya Mar in my opinion as well.

I was there, It was an amazing experience I will never forget.

[@Steezeandmac]

god this video makes me so happy. seeing the boys so happy is great. i just got back from spac weekend and it was great. so glad these men are still together playing music for us.

[@larslutefisk3426]

Amen! Was just watching this and thinking I've never seen a group of guys so obviously feeling the joy of creating music together! I was at this show and didnt have this great view. But it was still electrifying to be a member of that organism. The crowd was so primed for the music after the long days in the sun. Those were crazy days where at times you might reasonably have forgotten where you were and what you were doing. At those times I was always reminded of the lyric "If you get confused listen to the music play." 🎉

[@withinyouwithutyu1324]

Haven't listened to this in over a decade! Sounds great.
