First Phish show and concert, was amazing. Words cannot describe, AND they opened with Fluffhead

[@dillinger1211]

So I forgot this song and phish altogether for at least a decade...but about a year and a half ago I crossed paths with the term NICU, which in my case was a horrific nightmare. Looking for info I searched those letters here and came up on this...and for what I ended up getting into with my unborn son...I went in with a positive heart.... And guess what,...! He's a year and a half now...PERFECT!.!!!

That story made me smile on a sad day. Congratulations

[@JakobTeplitskyakajt]

I was a NICU baby. This was the first song my dad played for me and I now go to many shows with him. Enjoy the kid

[@jayalbert6589]

That’s so heartwarming

[@AndrewJDuddy]

This is exactly what I'm here for! Jams when they are least expected. More of this please. We already have 100 great tweezer jams, but not many NICU jams.

[@vincehenriquez680]

I was gonna say I think I remember one jammed out NICU IN LIKE 99/00 something like that but otherwise this is one they never jam out this is a super rarity here.

[@philipcurtis1801]

Stop all the crap from after the hiatus and I might hit up phish again. Listen closely to the words. 12 step is imbedded in all of them. Even Joy!

[@LyteSydeShill]

@@philipcurtis1801 and? They are jamming stronger than ever. Everything’s Right isn’t a great song but nearly every time they play it live it goes deep.

I saw them in Atlantic City this Summer for 3 days. Just a blast. My 1st show was 1992 in Vermont. I will never tire of these guys.

[@jeffreyprettyman2242]

For some of us it wasn't a phase.... Beside my son this band--- community has brought me more joy than anything else in the universe.... Catching my kid getting down to the "chaos" section of Hood may be my proudest dad moment..hahahaha... He was 11 at the time...proudest may not be the right word but I was giddy about it😁😁

[@guybrushthreepwood8174]

I was at the second Eugene show and was blown away. It’s clear if you like Phish, you need to go to every show you can. They won’t be here for ever and when that happens the world will be darker.

[@brettmorgen9728]

Actually Phish is promoting corporation vaccine requirements from billionaires who laugh at your to have the privilege of listening to their now god awful music (phish did have talent but sold out probably around 1995 or so).

Look back on those days when my life was a haze

[@joeharmon3424]

I know comparing what the best Phish is up for debate, like who the best basketball player is. Different eras = no wrong answer. This coming from a guy who thought the best of Phish was 96-98, I have to say this years tour has cemented itself in Phishtory. 2021 has been straight 🔥 For the first time in my busy adult life I really miss seeing these guys.

[@christopherholly3475]

You said it! I mean come on, take Fluff out for a type 2 walk then this?! I’ve not yet heard the rest of the show, have heard all of summer & fall and could not agree more with you. Transformational shows!!

[@theloniouszappa]

Best years are up for debate, but no one will ever convince me that 2.0 or 3.0 are better than 1.0

[@joeharmon3424]

@@theloniouszappa and that's fair. Jordan is the greatest in my book. So again there is no wrong answer, right? Perspective. The energy in 1.0 for us phans was better I guarantee that!!

i love how songs that are not rare but never get played long like Lawn Boy NICU the next in that line I would love to hear a 20 minute wading in the velvet sea if that is possible I never thought they could make Sample in a Jar Jammed out but where there is a FREE WILL there is a Way and I love these wacky fall sets with placement all over the place and jammed out versions of songs that typically are standard lengths and then AXILLA 2 oh yes I guess a Jam band has the right to Jam everything it is in the sauce the pudding and I so drink the Koolaid

[@jeffreyprettyman2242]

Every song should be taken out for 20min walk at some point...We went from allowing it to expecting it the last 30 years. Funny how high the bar gets when you get spoiled the way we have over the years..So grateful to have had so many great nights with this band.
