[@304bobgnarly]

This is some of the best phish ever written

[@jfragomeni]

Such a beautiful version of Mercury. Thank you.

[@JacobTell]

One of my fav renditions of Mercury to date. Marvelously gentle build in the jam.

[@heynongman1222]

Same here, I love Trey's little licks leading up to the 10 minute mark

[@wizzlemane7308]

Ditto. Spot on.

[@floooobzdagget3734]

Was at the rails Mike's side for this one. Still my fav to date and one of my go to snowboarding pump up jams.

[@mmoss1489]

The best version of mercury ever played still now I feel

[@andrewshiroff2503]

Always love a Mercury. The 3rd night was epic. Loved every minute of the show. Loved how Trey laughed off flubbing of the Iconic Stevie Wonder, and Mike and Page filled in the Gaps. My favorite show of Mexico Run.

[@CMGuitarPlayer]

Thanks for sharing!!! This beautiful piece is a magic live gem. Great composition too, long life Phish 🐠🐠🐠

[@LacedBacon]

I love Mercury, I think it's my phavorite newer Phish song and I've already gotten it twice Dicks last year and Vegas. The Dicks version is really good too.

[@tatevancleve1802]

You talking about dicks 2016 Ya? DAMN I was on the floor & that song made me split open & melt

[@jefflewis471]

Both of your comments made me vomit

[@seangeorgeable]

What a band... Love you Phish!!!

[@barberitis]

This is still the best version I've heard.

[@mutoneon]

Chicago, fall ‘18. Mops the floor with this one.

[@gretchenpike4990]

MERCURY IS EVERYTHING

[@jeffb72083]

This song is really starting to grow on me, especially the 2nd half. The Vegas '16 is the one that hooked me.

[@LacedBacon]

Dick's '16 is fire too!

[@thetruth34o9]

Still my favorite Mercury,. so good

[@Jibbuns]

It's unbelievable that this didn't make Big Boat. It's better than anything on there.

[@mutoneon]

Well, they recorded it for Sigma Oasis and the result is nothing special.

[@unknownbrother273]

I'm from the future - it's on a 2020 albûm

[@pickletown]

Birthday today, deeply appreciating this tune in exactly this form. Thanks for posting.

[@arr9325]

Chills. THIS IS AWESOME.

[@deweytucker5413]

Best lyrics in a while!! So good

[@alexandralincoln9239]

Love this song!! Play it more guys!

[@phishphan9791]

Looks like Trey's pasty ass got some sun. Good for him. Mercury is a masterpiece up there with Petrichor.

[@phishphan9791]

rhythmsteve Yep.

[@heynongman1222]

Petrichor's pretty good but this song is fantastic. Shoulda been on the album like Daniel said

[@teslagoth9401]

What’s wrong with pasty

[@brettanderson7142]

This is my favorite song.

[@CalligraphyArts]

Master minds; honest hearts. Thank you!

[@134590174]

Simply Splendid Indeed.

[@nongnong350]

Love you guys. Keep those sweet jams com'n. Please play Hampton Coliseum again soon.

[@duffman7793]

Is there an option to like this twice? All I can do is dance when I hear this! I don't care if at work, it's boogie time!

[@orionilgner]

If you like it twice, you unlike it, I already tried. Luckily you can like it three times!

[@experimentalelectronica5016]

I love each one of these men! Each is a singular genius in his own rite!

[@Willowdog08]

Best version

[@Dogsrule777]

This song is sick! 🤒🤘🏽☺️🎧

[@zadkiela_]

7:05 Beautiful sound :')

[@justintyrrell7413]

Great jam boys..

[@stacybenstockklein449]

I danced in the ocean during this Mercury!

[@wizzlemane7308]

This Mercury is dat hitter.

[@bathtub_jim7652]

TYVM Phish!

[@teslagoth9401]

I listened to this 600 times lol

[@deadheadiegirl]

I like this band

[@jktunney]

the machine gave us fishman and the boys, must be happiness somewhere

[@jerrymcsendy]

Mercury is a prime example that Phish is still fuckin KILLING it

[@heathers1025]

Stellar!

[@joeymoore3780]

Fishman on the marimba lumina! Sounds delightful

[@katherineaccettura7197]

awe, Trey got some sun! GREAT tune!!! wish I could have been there :)

Fisherman in a dress never gets old no matter how many times I see it.

[@duffman7793]

Please release the 12/30/16 show at Madison Square Garden (on iTunes and Google Play)! That was my first show and a super fun one! Long live Phish!

[@coryjohnston6847]

Not sure if this is what you mean by "release" but you can buy that full show right now, directly from the band: www.livephish.com/browse/music/0,1081/Phish-mp3-flac-download-12-30-2016-Madison-Square-Garden-New-York-NY

[@crosseyed99]

I don't want to speak for Patrick but I suspect he means release the video of 12/30/16. To which I wholeheartedly concur

[@Omegaphats]

Corey cut it out, we know you know he knows Phish offers it, do you have anything of benefit to offer? maybe some funds since your suggesting? Enjoy guys

[@driftdc5]

good night to see your first show. they were on fire 12/30.

[@jessd7994]

Patrick that was also my first show, loved it so much booked a hotel in the city and got tix off of a scalper for 12/31 haha. so amazing though on 12/30, I totally didn't cry during velvet sea...

[@UrielLuviano]

Maaaan, Phish rocks so hard my panties dropped. If only they knew "Riviera Maya" is not a state in Mexico :( Any way, it's great news they come now to this side of the border.

[@tuckerlebsack7895]

13:35 Trey starts up his machine gun.

[@devilrojo55]

I was hoping to see this one get tracked on BB.

[@thevillageshaman]

The Great Machine. The Soul Planet!

[@bigbossman7991]

I don't understand why this is the only tune posted! I figured someone would post all nights or even the audio..........😔

[@twohitsandjointturnedbrown5404]

I know, I have never heard this song! It's not bad but I want some sets lol

[@aptrosto]

IMO best composition since their reunion.

[@LacedBacon]

matthew celentano agreed best new song

[@barberitis]

Time Turns Elastic was the best song Trey had written since Pebbles and Marbles. Now we have this

[@harpuaslutbag2997]

Best Version To Date!

[@LacedBacon]

This version wasn't nearly as tight and awesome as the Dicks 16', sorry brah.

[@harpuaslutbag2997]

Hmmmm....someone contending the "Mercury" crown? I'll listen to each version again and judge the bout...10 point must system...cannot be saved by the bell! Let's Phish it on! (sorry. I couldn't help it)

[@LacedBacon]

Shit, after listening again this one is right up there for me lol.

[@mattnestor4158]

12:40 - trey goes rock god

[@mattypatty7161]

Sure does 😀

[@samsnead5925]

WOO HOO

[@mattk3650]

Get it

[@jwconstruction9065]

middle of the winter. they prob need some $. best song ever....besides petricor

[@csfgdead]

Is the second part of this song called Gravity? For some reason on the beach I was sure of it and told the group, but then it never showed up on the set list. I thought I dreamt up that name, but then someone the next day on the beach said it was Mercury into Gravity. Anybody got the answers to that?

[@thevillageshaman]

Ahhhhhhh

[@easytoslip]

The days that are met with onlyness Aid and abet this loneliness The days that are met with onlyness Aid and abet this loneliness Tonight's the night the wheels are turning the signal flows I try to keep the home fires burning That was my stop but the subway kept going nothing to lose When Mercury's Showing (The days that are met with onlyness, aid abet this loneliness) The moments are mine If I can just seize the day But then I forget what it is I meant to say I try to hold on but never too tight and the hours go by till Mercury comes out at night Staring up at the great machine that never began and will never end the silver starlit tapestry With countless eyes staring back at me Venus in steel the unbreakable net the trail of lilies and violets ends Trapped in Steel the Unbreakable Net --- And the rivers run deep like a quick silver stream With wings on your feet your day is longer than your year Looking the night sky for a moment, I can see the rivers run deep your day is longer than your year The order in the Chaos Waits to be perceived With wings on your feet your day is longer than your year The lies they feed to me are as edible as mercury But the rivers run deep Your day is longer than your year (The days that are met with loneliness aid and abet this onlyness) --- and the Water-star is singing its silver melody the rivers run deep your day is longer than your year your day is longer than your year The tomb of the red Queen is painted in Vermilion painted in Vermilion painted in Vermilion but the net's unbreakable so don't worry about falling the voice that you ignore might be your future calling alone we're tossed about like a bottle in the sea but together we ascend and only then escape this gravity

[@nickrodriguez5301]

Everything beyond the 9:00 minute mark is stellar

[@katherineaccettura7197]

I'm at 10:40 and losing my mind :)

[@trombone0190]

Phis es un grupo que personalmente me gusta, pero he de decir que si tuvieran un pelin mas de caña ,en sus temas llegarían a mas gente. con esos desarrollos tan largos siempre duermen en tema lo cual se hace bastante pesado.

[@Kuhlyedascope69]

VIRGIN NERD ROCK

[@jchayden1391]

Sounds like Genesis

[@HarryGoldsmith]

First time seeing palm trees at a Phish concert. lol

Hey is that my bro out there in the crowd?

[@lukebrown5813]

i try and try but can't seem to get into phish, im a huge umphreys and dead fan, but i dont know what it is about phish i cant fully enjoy

[@musicsurvival5]

Luke Brown that sucks

[@Gumbo72203]

They do very different things. I would suggest listening to Junta and see if the songs grab you.... or their big heavy-hitting live jams like the 7/10/99 Chalkdust, the 11/17/97 Ghost, the 6/19/04 Piper, the 12/30/93 Mike's Song, the Tahoe Tweezer, etc

[@spd13062]

Luke, go pick up Billy Breathes.....it was my intro to Phish and I was in after that. Also see a show. Have you seen a show? That would do the trick.

[@TastyWaxRecordings]

spend the money and see them live

[@LacedBacon]

I feel the same about Umpreys, I went to the Spafford/Ump show in Tempe cuz I love Spafford and sat through Umphreys but I just don't get their music.

[@jwconstruction9065]

is trey using old pups with new amps ?

[@EscaperMusic]

So tasty.

[@Gumbo72203]

why the fuck don't you guys play Pebbles and Marbles anymore? Does Mike really hate it THAT much?

[@mattvadenais8585]

seriously? Pebbles and Marbles? Its a chopmper

[@mattvadenais8585]

chomper

[@TheGigantomachia]

lmao @ chomper

[@robertgordon9760]

dude i feel ya been waiting for them to bust it out since i saw my first one at alpharetta 2013 best version ive heard sound was incredible that night and the 2nd set they opened with heartbreaker and teased it throughout the rest of the show ....such a fun night and i didn't know mike hated it, interesting .
