It’s a Christmas miracle

It IS a Christmas miracle! 👆 🎄

[@johnsmith7140]

Merry Christmas!

[@AtmaRising]

This is your song too

[@mikesnyder1005]

Between DaaM, Sigma Oasis, the Beacon Jams, and this we need to start referring to all this music as the Phandemic

[@chrisradicone4832]

I very much second this!

[@DashingDaddyDaveDelivers]

We’re allllready there

[@lillagahnavich7700]

Amen

[@RraMakutsi]

I have stated on another YT channel that the age of 3.0 is over, and that 2020 is really pre-4.0... we are hearing the work of mature gentleman these days, no longer boys, and comfortable in their skin and with their legacies. Hopefully 4.0-proper (i.e., post-Covid Phish) will be in full swing before we know it, and we can all celebrate together!

[@mkwilson38]

Don’t forget NOON. That shit is the real deal just as much as this is.

[@bigedude]

Merry Phishmas everybody!

[@phishm1]

Indeed

Is this Big Phil?

[@shtposternutbag8207]

The longest Coil jam of all time is a Page/Trey duo in the studio. 2020 is a strange world, but it sure has given us some gems!

[@Jertahoe]

one note and I've got tears. Love these guys

[@lumpyheadcarini7553]

Sitting in NE Ohio on Christmas Eve in front of a fire watching the snow fall and listening to this all of the sudden life isn't so bad. Thank you Trey and Page for a much needed respite. Merry Christmas everyone.

[@SpidermansBro]

Grew up in that area! I miss the Ledges!

[@jthomeskillet]

Cheers from Dayton 🍻

[@lumpyheadcarini7553]

@@SpidermansBro oh yes..many many fun days/nights at Nelson Ledges..such a cool place

[@CosmicHarmony78]

NE Ohio here too...the Ledges were good times...the fests at Tappan Lake were always great as well. Also Trey & Page did a stellar job on this little EP.

[@kevindickson952]

@@jthomeskillet I don't knwo you but fellow fan in Dayton....Cheers!

[@hassaan561]

I don’t get how trey just keeps creating and creating. The man has given us so much. Thank you trey and phish.

[@slowwaterdrifting]

Its what a jedi does

[@stevetrockman204]

This is the way

[@MM-vv8mt]

Without a relentless Phish and TAB touring schedule, the gang have time to breathe and create. Another example of time on their hands: Mike and Leo with NOON. Lucky us!

[@hassaan561]

M M true but even then you would think he put out the sigma oasis album with phish and he would chill but then he puts out a solo album which also has a lot of great songs.

[@justingroff3682]

that's what happens when a genius creative mind stops doing hard drugs and alcohol

[@biddyism]

Tears of joy....thank you Trey & Page! This is my first Christmas without my mother & this surprise release means so much to me. Sitting here listening on Christmas morning & missing my mom.

[@MM-vv8mt]

So many of us are alone on this beautiful night, so everyone thumb up everyone who posts here to let them know they are not alone and are part of a big beautiful loving Phamily!

[@leslieostrom2838]

Cheers to big beautiful loving phamily

Hitting me when I never felt more alone. Thanks for suggesting that we are not...it helps...

[@slowwaterdrifting]

The vocals are unreal....so good.

[@amysteele2784]

Thank you Page, thank you Trey! Your music has brought light to my life for 21 years, but these gifts you’ve given us over the past few months just may forever shine the brightest. See you at Deer Creek ✨

[@DashingDaddyDaveDelivers]

It will always be Deer Creek

[@GlowbaLearning]

Whose coil was it anywayz? Thank you Phish for all the years and many more. Amore Amore!

[@TheFleeceJohnson]

Hell yeah, Thank you Trey and Page for helping us out with this beautiful music. I think I can speak for everyone when I say that we all love you and are incredibly thankful for what you guys do!

[@JayBigDadyCy]

Man the chemistry after almost 40 years is just absurd. So amazing. This made my Christmas. On one hand Covid sucks, but this stuff might have never existed otherwise. Gotta find the silver lining I guess.

[@johnpenney6682]

You just knew this Squirming Coil ending was going to be killer!

[@Miketrout69]

Wasn’t expecting it to be straight gas like that tho.

[@EpicNole]

Always is! Their best set closer IMHO.

[@chevy66driver]

Noice. I'm 4 mins into the coil now

[@novakaya]

It is a masterpiece on many levels

[@Sklufas86]

Joy is truly fantastic. Then Miss You, simply beautiful. I know your sister is listening every time you play these. Thank you for the hope and courage that these songs inspire.

[@dylanfan3888]

Oh God Joy....commence tears...hope you are all happy this eve!

[@brianstubbs9267]

All I want for Christmas is to be able to see these gents again.

[@BDB78]

Amen brother. I long for that inevitable day.

[@AtmaRising]

Not sure, but I think I took it for granted all these years. Beacon Jams gave me hope but reality is that we’re stuck in this mess for a while. We can only hope that live Phish is a reality in 21.

[@218maryland]

@@AtmaRising Agreed. I'm mentally preparing for there to be no live Phish, or any live music in 2021 just like most of 2020. If it does happen, I will be overjoyed. But I am certainly preparing for the worst. Can't believe I took live music for granted. At this point, I would froth at the chance to see even a small local band play.

[@danblatt8420]

Trey and Page save Christmas! This is perfect. Happy holidays!

[@jtcourtney8858]

This is wonderful on Christmas Eve. My heart just grew three sizes bigger like the grinch ❤❤❤

[@bradleyenneking4861]

Light and love everyone miss the band so much

[@JohnEZang]

God the most underrated part of this epic band is their vocal harmonies.

[@whatwouldhousedo5136]

A lot of people hack on Phish's vocals, but I've always loved them. Not just the harmonies, but the attention placed on vocal arrangements- something like Limb By Limb for example with multiple vocal parts working together, or the end of Maze.

[@AtmaRising]

Amazing how I’ve heard over the years that they can’t sing. So wrong. How many bands a capella?

[@ericsnyder5427]

Its as if Page descended from Heaven with that angelic voice. Str8 butter baby!!! Thanks for this fellas

[@DashingDaddyDaveDelivers]

As if? Page DID descend from Heaven, along with the Languedoc tone on Miss You

Best present 🎁 so far today. Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄 God Bless all of you!

[@ourworld215]

Thank you! I can't explain how much I needed that. When everything and everyone no longer makes since the comfort of your melodies and lyrics ....Flipping backward through the doors and through the windows... 'till I'm released, awaken beast... There's nothing to say and nothing to lose... In time we'll weather this storm... It passes me by.... I'd like to lick the coil some day Like Icarus.... One love still exist It's easy to get lost in the clown shoe world we live in but I know the moments that I've spent with some of the kindest genuine people were real and will be again. Our bright spirits can't be banished only delayed. Thank you for the reminder

[@tonystfa]

We never needed them like this before....

[@johnfunk7568]

There are few songs in that set that do NOT bring tears to my eyes. Joy and Miss You especially. They reach into my heart and pull the emotion out of me like few other things can.

[@alexspsychedelicchannel2521]

What a wonderful gift for all of us, this holiday season....Many happy thanks.

[@jeffreyzal]

Crazy how many people jumped on this. Must have all seen Trey's insta post. So happy to have you in my life, Trey and Phamily. Much love and happy holidays everyone.

Just wow. Thankful for Phish and all the creativity this year, from the Rescue Squad to Dinner and a Movie to the Beacon Jams and now this. 🙏🏼🤗👏🏻💃🕺🏻❤️ Happy holidays everyone!

[@danburns-1984]

I love how there’s always layers to this band and not just musically, but also in the way they present or promote their art. So, as we know now, the picture of Trey and Page bringing out the keyboard on the Barn’s deck was a hint that something bigger was afoot for 2pm. The obvious connection to Colorado ‘88 was made but I don’t think anyone could’ve predicted this type of heartfelt release. By the way, I’m the weirdo who keeps chasing these guys to catch a “Brian and Robert”, “Lifeboy” or a “Mountains in the Mist”, all of which I’ve been fortunate to hear over the years. Of course, I love a blistering jam filled “Tweezer” or 4 song second set but this album is such a great treat and it couldn’t have come at a more perfect time. God bless these guys... Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone out there. We’ll be together soon enough.

[@chevy66driver]

What was the colorado 88 connection? I'm the same. I think this is when they are at their best. Quieter, more ethereal

[@danburns-1984]

@@chevy66driver It’s the same pose as the cover of the Colorado ‘88 release. Trey on the left and Page to the right. Both are even looking in the same direction. Just something cool that I didn’t notice at all tbh. I read it in the comments on Page’s Instagram earlier when they posted that pic along with the 2pm announcement. It’s almost exactly the same... I’ve listened to this a few times over already and it’s another great release IMO. Obviously I’m bias but the sound is superb and the general melancholic mood is so soothing..🍻

[@RraMakutsi]

I agree with this comment 100%... I couldn't give them my money fast enough today so I could download the HD version!

[@jez443]

I’m right there with you, still chasing lifeboy, fast enough for you, mountains in the mist, all of these dreams, if I could, and billy breathes

[@fretgod321]

So grateful for Trey and Phish’s music this year

[@flowerdarlink]

Thank you so much for the love and music.

[@novakaya]

That whole instrumental passage in Coil is truly transcendent. I’ll never forget listening to it for the first time on my Bose headphones while I hiked in a snowstorm in eastern oregon. Magical doorways of possibility were opening everywhere in geometry of the falling snow crystals. It set my whole imagination a light and went very very well with the dose I’d eaten. I’d go so far as to call it a masterpiece. Loving the mellow, older, wiser Trey and Page. The gentleness, poignancy and spaciousness. Just what the doctor ordered for this kid who grew up on Hunter/Garcia

[@Chrispypullen]

We will all be back together again sooner rather than later. (30 yrs now?? Thx you two)
