The pain and sadness exhibited by Page is just as evident in his playing, as it is in his words. The raw emotion he puts into that piano opening is just so heartbreaking. I remember as the already somber crowd is seeing this close up view of Page choking up trying to sing, this heavy and powerful feeling of sadness ascends onto me an the crowd. It was probably the most moving experience I've ever had. That joy and energy you get from a Phish show, the ever present vibe in the air that manifests itself when a large group of like minded phans all gather filled with anticipation and appreciation, and when all those thing line up just right: the band, the place, the people, and "IT" happens. That special moment, when everyone gets "IT" at the instant of realization, for a moment you snap out of it as your brain tries to comprehend Whats going on then as you start to look around and realize everyone else has got "IT" too. Once your brain comprehends "IT" you are overwhelmed by sheer bliss and ecstasy. With a phish show and everything it entails the people place, a=band that same power it possesses to endow joy ecstasy and permanent smiles, can also inflict sadness pain and tears and magnify each aspect beyond a single persons capabilities. The power of gathering of that many like minded people in that place under those difficult circumstances is enormous. The same way the band can give you that "IT" feeling, can just as easily endow sadness and sorrow. And on this day I experienced just how powerful and moving that such a large group of people can be, this video doesn't do it justice

In '04 I was doing catering with a company that was contracted for the second half of summer tour including Coventry. In my recollection, the mood backstage wasn't all that somber but there were certainly times when it got tense - especially the first day with the all the chaos surrounding the parking/mud situation, Mike addressing the fans, etc. The traffic was also a nightmare for catering since most of the food was locally sourced...I assume very few people know about this because all of three (maybe four?) people saw it, but Page had a full on meltdown the first night because we didn't have...wait for it...Subway(!). I understand he was going though a lot and I can assume his emotions were displaced but in the moment it was very concerning. I'm glad they all made it through.

It almost felt like they were each trying to convince themselves not to let this be the end. I was at this show, filled with so much emotion, I remember telling myself (and whoever would listen) that this wasn't the last time we'd see them onstage together. Most of the music was played utterly horrible, but with the emotion surrounding it, one could wonder how they even made their way onto the stage!

Awesome sentiment, Chris, thank you. I'm fairly new to Phish (2007/8) and have been wading through their Velvet Sea of music ever since. Earlier this year I burst into tears on a bus home from work listening to Velvet Sea from Hampton Comes Alive, totally spontaneous and uncontrollable. People around me thought I had gotten horrible news, most were shocked to see they were tears of pure joy. I've never had music touch me like that before, it felt like an awakening. Now I'm going back through all the music again with a newfound appreciation for why they are such a dominant force in my life.

I guess I'm a weirdo and a Masochist, but this is my favorite version of this song. I just love the emotion. I know this was to be their last show. No acting hard. Just being human. Brothers. Also, it reminds me of my fallen brother who turned me on to these guys. Changed my life in so many ways. Like so many, taken too soon. Fuck Heroin. If you are struggling, think of all the pain and heartache you will leave behind literally FOREVER when you die. Get clean. Go to a clinic. Whatever it takes! No excuses. I'm among the VERY few left of my huge group of wonderful loyal friends. Most have been gone for many years. It's very lonely and sad. I haven't seen Phish for over 10 years. I wouldn't wish this feeling on anyone. It's what keeps me from slipping. The devastation one leaves behind is unbearable. Also, for the love of GOD... don't start doing hard drugs in your 30's!!! You either did it too young and that's why you struggle, or just SKIP IT! I mean if you're ANY age leave it alone. Anyway, that's a very rare semi-public soapbox. Peace and Love to all of you. Especially those who understand. If someone you love is a drug addict it's YOUR responsibility to do EVERYTHING you can to help them. Just don't give up on them. Remember who they WERE before. That's who they ARE! Even if you're mad and they owe you money. Deal with it AFTER.

Maybe this comment will sound like it has a little too much cheese on it but I’m going to write it anyways: My experiences on earth, i.e., through reflection with others and self, continue to tell me when to close my eyes, when to divide my attention, and when to turn the volume up. It’s truly amazing how a 7 minute episode, one that can be normally displeasing to the senses, becomes one that is normally appealing and similarly taken in by those with open arms. This show was packed with people of all shapes and sizes! People presented with varying levels of spirituality, emotional intellect, and relational functioning; multiple moral codes and epistemologies, and innumerable differences in sensory perceptual experiences. Nevertheless, in spite of ALL these differences (established over the course of a lifetime), the strength of a bond was intuitively amplified throughout the crowd. The “missed notes” of the tune didn’t matter. The only thing that became important and meaningful during those 7 minutes was for Page to know that he had the support he needed from those he supported during all those years behind the keys and mic! In the words of J-Lo, “my love don’t cost a thing.”

The whole band pretty much stops after Page gets emotional, instead of trying to plow through it. And Trey is hitting some really bunk notes there during the solo. I'm glad that these weren't their final shows, and that they got a chance to redeem themselves. I'm even more glad that I caught a couple of renditions of this tune in it's first two years, and that they were exceptional.

Maybe it's me. Maybe I'm reading it wrong. But there's a split second there where Trey looks almost annoyed that Paige can't hold it together. Right before "and mailed it off to you." It was like when he first broke down, trey was touched like the rest of us. But once it continued, it's almost like he was saying "ok enough already. We still have a show to play here." Again....I could be way off base. But I've seen that look before. He used to give it to Mike every time Mike would mess up. And I know Trey is everyones hero here. And hey, he's one of my heroes too. And I think he's a fantastic human being. But it's no big secret that he also has that sort of douchey side of him that makes an appearance on stage every now and again. Not so much anymore. In fact I haven't seen or heard about it in years but back in the day, if one of his band mates made an error on stage, he made it pretty clear he was pissed. Lol. I don't post this comment with any malice or anything. I think it's comical actually. But there's just that one part in this video in particular that I always wondered about.
