Phish- Reba (studio version) Reaction

[@aubreyholman1951]

Reba’s descent into madness

[@blairjjohnson]

This is what I've been looking for. Thank you.

[@stevec1770]

"Something's coming." You nailed that one.

[@TK-fk4po]

I think I had the same reaction when I first heard the whistling out of the jam.

[@timflim4149]

that's what we do at phish shows, is Blaze On!!

[@computerfile]

This is such a fun album.

[@maine420grow]

Hands down favorite phish song of all time. I'm even considering getting REBA tattooed. Right next to my Red Sox B.

[@TeezMcGee]

You from Boston?

[@maine420grow]

@@TeezMcGee originally Jersey. But I bleed Boston red Sox red.

[@maine420grow]

@@TeezMcGee sorry it took so long. Gotta admit I'm a little high.

[@cshubs]

Saw my first show 1991 in Vermont. I love this.

[@RCROX]

It wouldn't surprise me if these guys were the reason why Fusion is a musical genre now....

[@dubstylee]

phish is such a cool band to listen to driving. they are best live. saw em NYE 1995

[@maine420grow]

Possibly the best Phish show ever

[@blairjjohnson]

You had me at "Zappa" during a Phish reaction video. Nice.

[@Fennario634]

awww haven’t heard the studio in forever! there’s a big group of phish twitter that’s doing a “reba project” right now, we’re listening to every live version chrono between 93-95 (ending with one of the best live versions, 12/31/95). LOVE this tune. the composition part before the jam (that blissy part in the last 1/4 is the “jam” on this studio) has such a sick fugue within it, it’s fun to hear live. CAN’T WAIT TO SEE YOU AT A SHOW WHEN WE’RE BACK!!! come join us and boogie!

[@sete6529]

So great that when the " Reba Jam" kicks in you knew immediately , classic Phish rt there. So hapoy I caught a Reba in AC a few weeks ago.!!!

[@Krust_Acean]

When you watch them perform, the changes all make sense. They really talk w the audience

[@leestamper9451]

Teez, you gotta see a Phish show when touring starts back up again. The best dance party in the world

[@justinbakerking]

You’re right the guys in Phish were all Zappa fans.. Phish has many different styles in their sound... keep digging there’s a lot there. They’re also considered one of the great live bands of all time

[@pebblesanddirt]

I have gotten to hear them play Sabotage by Beastie Boys live. They only did it a few times - tore the roof off.

[@stillwaiting8971]

Was that Alpine?

[@pebblesanddirt]

@@stillwaiting8971 Hampton 98

[@Krust_Acean]

Nice! I was feeling terrible and this made me feel so much better. Love

[@zappafan-eu4wp]

Silly Groovy Fire. Love this era of Phish.

[@cl2984]

Make sure you check out live versions of Reba. They usually play it twice as fast and their ability to deliver those lyrics at that speed while playing technical parts is mind-blowing. Also, all Reba performances guarantee a jam.

[@RUSHChick]

Phish is up there with Widespread Panic and the Grateful Dead. They have extended jam sessions, a devoted fan base, and everyone is baked.

[@mattmyers207]

They are so much better than panic or the dead. A lot of sober folks in the room.

[@Leo.Steinberg_Music]

@@mattmyers207way better than Panic but on the same level of The Dead

[@danjones3176]

Dood! LOVE that you are giving Phish a listen. Phish and the Beastie Boys...good stuff.

[@DocRobert]

Interesting, man. I haven’t heard this track since the 90s. It’s a damn silly song in the beginning, but you hear how they take it through a lot of different moods along the way. 😂 Your face when the lyrics kicked back in at the end and brought it all full circle. Phish has some intensely cool stuff too. Maybe check out “Stash”, “First Tube”, or “My Friend, My Friend”. “You Enjoy Myself” is a good journey, too. You were quick catching the Frank Zappa influence. Spot on. Trey Anastasio (the lead singer and guitar player here) has a very Zappa-influenced solo style, too. I’ve seen Phish live more times than I’ve seen any other band. They had a catalog of like hundreds of songs, never played the same show twice, so you never knew what you were gonna hear. We’d follow them from city to city. I used to sell beer and cigarettes in the parking lot to pay for food and gas money on tour. And yes, most everybody in the crowd was blazed at the very least. I used to lie on the lawn area at shows tripping on mushrooms and/or rolling on ecstasy and just get lost in it all. Lol, amazing memories from my misspent youth.

[@leestamper9451]

Sounds like you spent your youth very well to me!

[@IronCharioteer]

Surprised you didn't mention Fluffhead. IMHO it rivals Reba in complexity.

[@TacoSupreme82]

YOU MUST TRY "STASH", by phish. an amazing song, crazy cool vibe. just the best.

[@newton2013]

Now you're primed to watch a live version... :) In person, post-covid.

[@os75]

Wow..u reacted to phish..that's awesome..play more phish, grateful dead, widespread panic etc

[@jamesoconnor9027]

That was the album ( cassette ) that sucked me in and I would get lost in those grooves, as I did once again right now. Thanks for this.

[@FlowerSupply420]

First time I've ever seen anyone not get high and listen to Phish.

[@nikolishutinski2952]

Lol! Your reaction at the end when it goes back to the silly chorus after the epic guitar solo. If you want to check out a great live version of Reba (there are many), might I recommend the one from Glen Falls, New York 10/31/94. That same show, they played their version of The Beatles' White Album in its entirety - the first of their "Musical Costumes" shows for Halloween shows.

[@danjones3176]

Check Phish's Bathtub Gin if you're gonna blaze, lot's of crazy, subtle background noises.

[@leestamper9451]

I sent a request for the Went Gin :)

[@RambooPanda]

They must have recorded a bong for some of those background sounds lol

[@timcardona9962]

Great observations! Phish was indeed heavily influenced by Zappa, among others. Their live jams are the stuff of legends

[@thecartoonshow7450]

PLEASE do Esther by Phish next. My favorite Phish song and a total journey.

[@Sco3000]

Idk if you've dipped your toes in the live Phish pond yet but I recommend the Chalkdust Torture from 10/21/95, the video is on youtube. This is a straight ahead rock song. Honestly, anything from 93-97 is peak phish. This show has a great version of Reba as well may I add.

[@mannylopez42]

This is some good stuff... it does sound like Zappa a little, his style. This is good.

[@theopinionatedhippie470]

Amazing song and, believe it or not, a short version, being that it is not live. That solo could really stretch out at shows. Another great vid!

[@nicebluejay]

compare the improvisation (guitar solo) section here to the one in inca roads by zappa. there are similarities there to be sure.

[@maine420grow]

8 minutes in on this one. I try to point out the break in REBA whenever I can

[@trismaccarran9950]

About the only Phish I've been exposed to is right here. Have friends who're fans & told me they need to be heard Live. I see your foray into Zappa & Grateful Dead has prepped you to tune into the flow of these pieces 👍

[@thehillbillychasidchronicles07]

I've found with fusion, and jam bands you have to enjoy the ride. The transitions can be a bit uncomfortable at times, but it's almost always more rewarding in the end.

[@barbarjinx3802]

You hit the mail on the head. They have a great sense of humor. Silly lyrics, practical jokes.. This song I’m sending you is very funny. It’s one of their oldest called YOU ENJOY MYSELF, from their first album, but they throw in a cover of a Loud Armstrong song called Manteca about 2/3 of the way in. You see a Trey the lead diarist laughing during it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qGPVcpiEhcaXmZo

[@AB-oe2ud]

1st Lesson on Phish: Always check out a LIVE track, studio versions are never better

[@vertyisprobablydead]

You only enjoyed the middle part? Removed my like.

[@g420ize]

Here clearly doesn’t actually like phish
