[@oogdog8105]

Thank you so much for streaming the sphere run & posting these videos. With Dead & Co announcing that they will not be streaming their shows from the sphere, it really put it in perspective how much you guys care about your phans. You guys chose to provide an alternative for phans to experience that magical event that couldn’t afford a trip to Vegas & that speaks volumes. Hope to see you guys back in Nashville soon!

[@nedrobinson7490]

Indeed. A massive Thank you to Phish and their team! A band at the height of their creative abilities, quite literally leading the way forward in opening portals to new realms of creative possibility in live music performance entertainment. Another band: a groan worthy nostalgia act bilking rubes. I don’t condemn those who choose the latter, but I won’t lend no hand to raise no flag atop no ship of fools. Meanwhile, on THIS lonely trip: UP the Rigging! Take in sail, mind skipper will not fail. UP the PHeeeeesh! 🏴‍☠️🎏 ⭕️ ⭕️⭕️⭕️

[@cl2984]

I'm 163 years old and whenever fish plays I break open a bottle of Veuve and celebrate! Because how lucky are we to live in a time where we can witness such beautiful music? I only wish they were a band before I was 122 🤦‍♂️ not enough time to enjoy

[@nideedee6970]

Phish is a part of my whole growing up ever since a live one and living next to as well as working at Polaris amphitheater. They been landing spaceships on my brain since I can remember. Shit be fucking hitting

[@rpaluso]

I’ve literally listened to this song 50 times since being there and now to relive it through the video is the best. Fuck yeah! What a jam…

[@DConnorSE]

Hell yeah! Thanks for letting us relive this one. Top 10 Phish highlight ever for me!

[@uinayatullah]

Just got into phish, any other suggestions for videos from your top 10 list?

[@uinayatullah]

I dont know who Phish was until i watched this video last week. Phish, you earned a fan for his lifetime on this planet.

[@uinayatullah]

Or should i say “phan”

[@christopherfoley5973]

That’s awesome. They have been the best jam band for most of my life. In 1987 I was falling out of love with the Grateful Dead (Jerry nodding out, so many hangers on the scene) and living this bar banned in Burlington Vermont. They have always been fun snd exciting musically and I think they are peaking now.

[@alan-daniel]

That segue back into the DwD outro at 32:40 is one of the smoothest I've ever heard, just perfect. What a run!

[@edkerry87]

First half of N1 was ripcord city, but after that almost all the transitions to and from jams were perfection.

[@kyledonnelly6716]

I thought they were going to carry out at about 25 mins, but hell no.

[@exdemocrat9038]

The Sphere was made for Phish.

[@shtposternutbag8207]

Figuratively *and* literally since both Trey and Kuroda were involved in the development!

[@louisharper1471]

I have mixed feelings about whether they should put an actual music video on the screen or stick to the screensaver visuals.

[@rhubarb1073]

@@louisharper1471 I like how they did it from what I've seen so far. Have some fun with the capabilities during the song parts, but during the jam just let a fucking visualizer run and let us focus on the band. The point of phish always was and always will be listening to these 4 people improvise. If they're jamming, I couldn't give a fuck about anything else happening around me even if it's some new incredible state of the art screen dome visuals. Let the visuals supplement the music, I don't want shit distracting me from these guys working.

[@kyledonnelly6716]

OMG, just watching on my PC makes me regret I wasn't there. As mentioned, that place is perfect for Phish.

[@doglog5748]

I’ve been to hundreds, and this was my favorite show I’ve ever been to. Certainly top 5. Sound quality, obvs lights/display, the scale and pure wonder of that room, the jamz, the vibes, the flow, everything. Top to bottom an absolutely elite phish experience by all in our crew.

[@DCMoney96]

Coolest show I've ever attended. Very lucky to have gotten a ticket.

[@barbarjinx3802]

More of these please. You guys made amazing art here. It’s beautiful. I wish I could have gone. Next time for sure.

[@ledhed5553]

This whole thing is just a Masterpiece! Thank you Phish and everyone who made this possible! You truly pulled off a classic 4 nights for the ages 🔥🙏✌️

[@rocktop15]

Amazing. Maybe the best experience of my life

[@paullong6573]

This DwD transported me to another dimension. Plasma brain.

[@srsheesley]

Thank you! Def the highlight from my sphere experience. That and talking to guys in my same row who I met who had been seeing Phish since the 90s. We went nuts at the end of this jam, it felt like worlds colliding. Thank you Phish!

[@craiglavazza7439]

F’ing insane. Great camera work on this one. My 30 yr anniversary coming up this December and can honestly say more giddy than ever to see as many shows as my old ass can make it to. You guys are the best. Thanks for giving us so much joy!! 17min mark-21min enough said

[@jasonmuhsmann5670]

We knew after witnessing this live we had seen something special. The word got around the Sphere it was 34 minutes long! What a cool show!

Crazy to think I’m going on 30 years of Phishing, target center 96 was my first show

[@katzpdx]

You mean 28 years :-). Just looked at the set list for that show. Nice one!

[@iamterrible4203]

Spectrum 97 was my introduction. That lot though that was something else

[@wateroverock5597]

@@iamterrible4203 Ventura 98 was my cherry. Nice glad to know that Gamehendge is actually real life. When you learn Gematria you can see how the Axilla works. Remember, getting the victim comfortable is the first part of the witch craft. Now Wilson is really going to come down hard on the Lizards. The next few years will be difficult know matter where you reside unless you sell your soul to Icculus for the $$ and fame. Thank you for posting this talented band. Feels great this band will never receive another penny from my pocket book. The Forum 2015 was last time seeing Phish live.

[@dofphish]

Although I have been seeing my favorite band since 8-8-93, I can no longer go to shows. THIS is the only way I get to see my boys anymore. I haven't been to a show since the last Dick's show of 2014. Disability happens. But hot dam# are these Sphere shows AWESOME! As Drew Carry, having seen his phirst show, put it, "I had my (expletive) face melted off". Yep, sounds about right. EPIC phashion. Gotta love the grandfathers from Vermont. I miss shows!!!! I miss PHiSH!!!!!! Thanks guys. ps I was even a member of PLM. Anyone remember that group and what we stood for? If you were a member give a shout to this post. We got our wish!

[@nideedee6970]

They have a place for you up front. It's doable. Saying that with zero knowledge of the situation but fuvk...let's make it happen. I'll be your service human 😂

[@morganzimmerglass9925]

Man I was there and felt like I had lived a lifetime during this Disease. It was a profound experience. And it holds up upon relisten.

Everyone is talking so much ! Thank for sharing this video

[@robertbilleisen6687]

[@christopherfoley5973]

Phish has elevated the streaming game and live sound their entire career. While I wish it was all as good as this DWD I can assure you that it is not. This was peak Phish and everyone is blessed to be able to see and hear it in such amazing quality in the comfort of their living room 🎉. I have been there so many times when they elevate game, Rock and Roll at the Gorge in 2010 , 2012 Dick’s , GameHenge NYE 2023 . They are so happy to be doing what they love to do and it shows all the time. Go to a show. You will be hooked

At an estimated $30,000 a minute to run the Sphere’s screen, that makes this DWD the “Million Dollar Disease”!

[@MrYatesj1]

Well if that is true Phish lost alot of money, as will all bands that play the sphere. IMO your numbers are way off my I have no knowledge of the system.

[@shtposternutbag8207]

@@MrYatesj1 The $30k figure comes from a source close to the event reported to (if I remember correctly) Relix. As for losing money on the event, the reported gross was over $25 million for the event, so even at a figure of $10-15million for the effects, they still made plenty of money off the run.

[@Uni413]

Still my favorite band and I could care less if a song/show isn’t great. They have more than earned their respect. But unless it got significantly better after the 11 minute mark where I stopped listening, this is one of the worst versions I’ve heard.

[@seattlenetworks]

I feel sorry for you, not much but I do.

[@brianpoteat2733]

Honestly, if you listen to all of this jam and don't like it, I have to question if you actually like Phish.

[@mmcmahon76]

who stops listening to a 30+ minute Phish jam at minute 11? That's like a hottie just took all their clothes off and wants to get busy and you just left the room. This is my favorite DWD ever - I was there - it was freaking magical. For sure the beginning is a little rough - but it builds to absolutely soaring heights - and that's the beauty of Phish - perfect imperfection. This is the song I have relistened to the most since we were there.
