Damn, Trey brought back the siren loop for the Fluff jam. What is this, 1999?!?! 👍😂🙏

I can't think of a single thing phish fans can complain about. Almost 40 years and can still nail a composition as tough as Fluffhead. Enjoy it while it's here folks.

I’ll still complain

[@ben-yg5jj]

14:51 I love how happy trey gets. This is an obvious testament to how the crowd plays a huge role in their shows.

[@fionnpinaparker5332]

I’ve been wondering where Phish would settle in musically since coming back from the Covid break. I’ve seen them play some great shows since then, but this jam shows some of the tightest, most communicative, and most inventive music they’ve played in the past 5 years. It’s new. Its old. Its fun. I love it ⭕️

[@jameyrappaport3055]

Thank you guys. Miss you. 😂

[@ChopsManyon]

this tour was amazing

[@allenarmstrong2284]

It's really the butter too my toast!!! They've gotten better which is ridiculous but understandable considering how amazing all 4 of them are!!! Been to@< 120+ and 15 TAB and quite the jammiest of jam bands my favorite helping me learn guitar, teaching me street values, Phamily Values and I've met the most amazing people at Phish I've seen Merica.... Going on tour in the summer of '98, turning out to be their most cherished shows and Clifford Ball? Lemonwheel, Great Went last festival Phil and Phriends opened for Phish at Locken' and I sold both show pieces(live artist)$550.00 for both not too shabby!!!!

[@truncated_sleigh]

I'm sitting at my desk thinking "Yes! This is classic Phish."

[@swampduck2609]

I love how few phones are out. If you see footage from a major pop act it’s like 95%of the crowd is filming.

[@sadboi7537]

That’s because most NPC’s who enjoy that type of “music” live in their phones and don’t know any other way of life. They must document everything for random strangers on the internet for social internet points.

[@qinghai1]

OMG!!!!’ You are so right. How you ever develope such a keen sight of observation. God your parents must be proud. God. WOW!!!’

[@fubarsaltdog6460]

Our Pham is on an entirely different level. Goosebumps engaged on every Fluffhead. Mmm

[@kjbarton44]

Dude I was saying this the whole weekend! I go to a ton of shows (even non-Phish) and most people are sitting there filming the whole time and there's also a ton of DUDES. No one's filming and women feel safe at Phish shows it seems. I think it's because Phans go to a ton of shows and are more familiar with concert "etiquette".

[@joshvaughan3832]

To be fair they live stream every show now. Unless you're up front and want the moment captured, it's already out there. ya know?

[@FunnyBecauseItsTrue]

…the longest Fluffhead ever performed was the second song at Alpine Valley in July 1999… 8/13/22: “Party like it’s 1999” >22 minute Fluffhead> Saw It Again

[@tylerao]

I was 19, on l mushrooms and extacy, life was grand

[@tannerhowells4644]

That was my first show. I called 3 songs. Guyote, Fluffhead and Farmhouse. I got my Farmhouse 2 nights later at Deer Creek for an opener.

[@prndlprndl]

[@BigbradF23]

👏👏👏👏👏

[@thomasmainecoon]

He's been my favorite drummer for years now! Came across Phish in '96 and though I love lots of rock, punk, jazz and metal drummers, he's still my favorite and DEFINITELY underrated. He's talented AF but also brings a level of humor and absurdity that is both welcome and so at home within the greater context of Phish.

[@jamesmcbrain5497]

@@thomasmainecoon people outside the community don't know because they don't listen to him and I might get some shit for this but I really don't think Travis Barker is all that.. you have to put Bonham up there Lombardo up there and a hell of a lot more I can't think of right now . I'm sure fisherman wanted to he could jam out some SLAYER

[@NathanMuleski]

God, this was so good! BUT! We need a video for the Bowie the night before. That was one of the best Bowie's I've ever heard.

[@Jfladager]

Our Minneapolis crew was there for this as we always are for Alpine Phish. I agree, best Fluffhead in years and years. Such a great weekend. All for our buddy Pete who's dancing in the stars.

[@FesteringEarth]

I was so lucky for this to be my first phish show when I was 17 it was such an experience and so much of it spoke to me. I knew from the get go that show was special and I cherish it so much.

[@ebitdareadthebook1535]

Now that's a Fluffhead! They give a nod to the other Alpine fluff and even throw in the appropriate siren loop. A+, Looked like trey was having a blast all weekend - love to see it!

[@gb342002]

I only went Saturday and while the opening was great, was really disappointed with rest of the show. Felt like one long continuous song all night long. They didn't interact with the crowd at all. I don't think they said one word all night.

[@ebitdareadthebook1535]

@@gb342002 I was surprised by the way the show played out. I almost went for the weekend, but chose dicks instead. I had some serious fomo, because the last alpine show I caught was the 2021 run, and that show on the 14th was easily my top 3.0 show. I was expecting magic again, but it was not the same vibes from the shack.

[@ryansilberkraus4714]

@@gb342002 they rarely say anything. They let the music do the talking unless it’s harpua.

[@joshlanders61]

@@ebitdareadthebook1535 crowd on the lawn seemed relatively uninspired in my area. I thought the show was great but its harder to hit those peaks when the crowd isn't going ape shit, I think everyone was tired from all the logistics of partaking in a show at Alpine, band included. Needless to say next time I'll be in the pit or pavs for sure.

A+ material right here

[@p.l.m]

the greatest live fusion music performance I've ever seen in my beholden eye a perfect piece of 2022 American art: an epic about a bald cancer patient with cotton balls on his head seeking joy; a portrayal of one trying to enjoy the romance of life while enduring struggle and tragedy. and American musicians reflecting this story upon their nation in its heartland. we start with a lyric about someone with a deranged mind asking for change "couldn't find no cure could you help me if you please" - an allusion to poverty and violence in America 6:15 - red and blue lights and the Gershwin starts. But its not American in Paris, its You in America. 6:30 - orange lights and tenuous audio tones descending tension 7:30 - party hopping 7:45 - Gershwin - You in America, the chop of the city, urban tones WARNING American streets WARNING 10:00 - freedom journey 11:15 - trouble 12:00 - this is a bundle of joy, right? 13:00 - cotton fluff 13:20 - pure joy 14:00 - struggle. trials and tribulations. crashing. warning sirens. 16:30 - synth power and light from above. forces. 18:15 - national anthem 19:00 - gettin dirty 20:20 - descending 21:00 - swamp i saw it again form in my window it wants to come in ive seen it before when i wake in the night i try not to look its not right but the curtains pull open there is the shape of the being i fear and im fully awoken i saw it again poverty. violence. the monsters that ail our nation - we keep seeing them again - more and more - we try not to look 26:00 - Crescendo 27:00 - its coming 27:20 - tumbling grand piano, pensive tones, warning siren, swamp, fuzz, power, all together, the chaos that is America. 28:18 - you can almost see the outline of the USA in the lights. siren blares, red and blue turn orange I saw it again poverty, violence, failure, uglyness, fear where we land and find ourselves, here today

Between 14:00 and 15:41, they change key, Trey introduces a siren, Page goes onto the rhodes, they move from melodically driven to rhythmically driven jamming, and Trey switches to a new tone.

Does Fishman EVER have a bad night? Not that I can tell. (Except maybe 7.30.88 the Night of the Jazz Odyssey, where he missed two sets, but he gets a mulligan for that one.)
