[christal522811]

I Get Goose Bumps EVERYTIME I See This Video!!!

[dsebahar1]

I sat down for about two hours to try and learn this song, got to 5:45 in this video. Gave up, next time though

[pnwelliott1]

When they came out and started playing Fluffhead was the most intense feeling of joy I've ever felt in my life. The first time I've ever experienced tears of joy. This is pure bliss. I Love Phish.

[creolesurfer123]

Yeah this was a great version

[pinkfrostingg]

seriously who disliked this magicalness?

[SuperPosternutbag]

Holy shit...

[AddisonPrice]

fluff head sounds alot like st. stephen haha

[briannloo]

@AddisonPrice lol just noticed that

[MapleSaccharum]

The energy in this room was absolutely electric! An excited frenzy to say the least. One of the best nights of my life.

[barefootbob75]

What a moment....wish i could have been one of the lucky ones to grab a ticket to this epic moment.

[caldrich83]

[phluffhead430]

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!

[hansok]

who's the one asshole who clicked dislike?

[eolsen411phish]

Happy 2 year anniversary, Hampton Fluff... still the best weekend of my life. Here's to 27 more years, boys!

[vedas7317]

No idea how you were able to stay calm enough to film this, I would have been going crazy. No way you were able to stay calm during the explosion, must have been impossible that night, is that why there is no part 2?

[meatstick0]

tears 

[rj11capp23]

the banker said i aint got that BUT I SURE GOT SOME POWERFUL PILLS, OHHHHHHH YEAHHHHHHH.........epic

[jessebah]

the lyrics really make this song

[simonbauducco]

when they came on stage i was crying too

[sellthemanicans]

still never seen anyone dress as strange as cactus

[mjbab73]

@sellthemanicans Gotta love when he sports yellow pants, or sequins better yet. 

[BufeFilms]

the greatest things ever recorded

[tucker1able]

love hampton!!! and goosebumpyness is happening...

[BoofTube09Session1]

has to be one of the greatest phish moments of all time

[Luke139]

8:52 high note made me laugh. look at the three people in the crowd that put their fingers up haha.

[gleeclubfordiks]

sick nikes trey

[OrganicTrichome]

That was awesome.

[me14126]

[dalastejas]

brings tears to my eyes... for real. i m friggin crying

[salmon27]

this time last year... i didn't realize what had happened until middle of divided sky haha. what a weekend

[ajmcdavis]

where is pt 2??????

[dweise]

@ajmcdavis yeah where is it????????

[rallyspacecars]

used to like these guys. Now that I find myself more discerning, that singing is horrible.

[UglyToontown]

@rallyspacecars that's too bad... they've been great since their return. FWIW this was their first song after a 5 year break... if i may make a suggestion--check out 8-1-09 from red rocks. in my opinion it is their best of 09.

[rallyspacecars]

I lost all love in 2000 when they started with meatstick and all subsequent pop-esque feces

[dweise]

@rallyspacecars who cares how they sing? are you hearing these instruments?

[jmk3270]

What a great weekend! Agreed with the seating absolutely absurd! 2 of the nights I just danced on the stairs in the aisle. Also the bathrooms always had a 30min long line. I would do it over in a second :)

[ulijon1]

Great!!!Brings me back to that night, one I'll never forget.The energy was intense!!

[mik3mo7]

idk if anyone noticed but paige gives someone the middle finger at exactly 4:44

[saighdude1]

no dude he's telling the sound guy to turn his mix up lol

[drummer5252]

@mik3mo7

hes signaling to turn his monitors up. fail.

[girlphriend]

@mik3mo7 not THAT finger lol

[briannloo]

7:45 for the truth

[Silveryback]

Holy crap! After attending Festival 8 this past weekend, I wanted to know if all concerts have people erupt when they sing, "...But we sure have some powerful pills!" Apparently they all do! Awesome footage, looks like an amazing show. After seein' em in a festival tho, it seems like a hard thing to have assigned seating when everyone's going crazy with happiness.

[camelwalk97]

Actually, Hampton is all GA, which is great in the middle of a tour of all arenas. It is so laid back. Every arena should be GA, IMO.

[coil311]

I disagree. I was there at these shows, and it as far as the seating goes, it wasn't "laid back" at all. People would lay out all their personal possessions on the seats and *claim* them for their tardy friends, who would meander in later. That was ALL over the arena, for three days. When you would ask people "may I sit there?" they would bluntly say "Sorry these are saved."; all 15 seats in a row ! General admission is supposed to be more laid back, but it backfires and did this time.

[TheGreatSerb]

Could not agree more...It was an absolute mess at the entrance, and once you actually made it in, somebody was there to tell you that the entire row of seats was reserved. Unacceptable and annoying and will not let it happen to me again. If they are rude enough to 'reserve the entire row', then I can be rude enough to ignore them.

[wolfsbro2]

Hampton is all-GA, total free-for-all. No assigned seats.

[stormchasingmikey]

Hampton is never assigned seating. Thats why its always so epic. It's the Mothership.

[ktviswat]

so beautifully done....

[DarkStarinDC]

Goosebumpy.

[boomerdorman]

What camera was this shot on? I need to know!!!!

[nickschaaf]

best night of my life.

[Rome012]

a mixture of phish and acid will do that

[john6271]

HD version is very good thanks man.

[MarcoEsquand0las]

what a ballsy pick to come out on!!!

[zeebledeble]

sexy chicks

[daschelh]

Phenomenal. Brought me back to minute 1 of the Hampton run.

[benchwarmer969]

Awesome song, great quality Mkdevo. What kind of camera did you use? Where is part 2?

[letsgomets1108]

What incredible energy. Back to a great start- and they took this momentum with them this summer.

[huebertd]

god, the summer tour is sounding awsome. I'm so glad Trey got off all the drugs. coventry was so shitty. but this tour has been great. love the new songs and all the band members look like they are alive and having fun again.

[Funkatronical]

fag your on crack like your mom im trey bro retard,,,

[StinglyJ]

wow, this brings me back to that sweet sweet moment when they came on stage. I have no idea what people are talking about when they say hampton was sucky or whatever. I am a truely season fan and the hampton run was truely spectacular. i loved the scene and the band was so truely in touch with all of the fans. See you guys in Hartford!

[Klumpmeister]

nice quality of video im impressed! seeing how far you were and how you could zoom in like that is amazing!

[bartonbickle]

how could you not post a part 2 of this video?

what's the matter too busy "getting stoned" to upload the rest for those of us who don't "sell drugs" to get tickets to see the band play?

people like you keep giving the community a "bad name"

[logiksan]

haha what a ridiculous post.  i hope this was a joke that just went over my head.

[hippy0024]

thats a joke right? i hope trey sees this post haha you sound like the biggest tool.... not for not smoking... just wow

[chemicalvalleysessio]

hey man some of us sell burritos and tshirts

[tylerkershaw]

here,here!

[TheEccentricHippie]

hahhaa, worthless prick.

[clamberrt]

I forgot that they're all in their mid 40's now.

[goldiecob]

awesome video one of the best from the Hampton reunion shows hell of a choice for an opener LOVE IT

[TheBandsAreMyOutlet]

Can't wait for Mountain View!!! Only show I was able to grab tickets... by the way, anyone driving to Cali through Kansas for the August shows?

[mattsm123]

i really like page's new shirt...

[iamthetoe]

Fish owns this song

[iamthetoe]

Nice to be able to sit and watch this after completely raging at the time. Sick!

[StrwberryCoff]

Nice. Got the day off, got some purple and this.

[loganwinters]

goosebumps

[panicspreadwide]

genius!

[arm7420]

no words needed

[johnplex706]

from the time they walked out, until the first set ended 2 hours later, i was totally in outer space.

[gilliamgh]

I didn't even know what the hell to do with myself when the boys came out on stage. Memories for a lifetime.

[thewho24]

i think everyone knew what kind of weekend they were in for once this came out. couldnt have asked for a better opener. everything was played real clean, thanks for the great video

[scorwin2]

Peoples its a band and music, pull the undies out the crack and chill, or leave them and turn the channel.

[kingleland77]

and grendel, shut the f up. if you dont want to see phish until they refund your ticket than don't, a true phish fan will have the opportunity to see them.

[kingleland77]

i still cannot believe they opened with fluffhead. this was the most surreal moment of my life, i have honestly never felt such pure joy. godamn, lets hope this isnt an isolated reunion tour. I gotta believe they are back for a while.

[rudieskakid1]

i wasnt there, im not mad though because i know my buddies in the tapers section will come through, you can still enjoy the music, or have a problem with tickets, find a trading board (they dont allow tickets to be sold for more than face value)

[Greydjinn]

so please dude, log off of youtube, quit watching the free videos and get a job with the federal task force on videotaping, or just shut up and enjoy the fact that the dude paid and captured something cool in a really superior way. your hatin cause he did such a good job.

[rudieskakid1]

this is cool and all, but dude, respect phish's wishes. They have a taping policy. By coming back they have mad a huge sacrifice (funds wise and of other things). I dont have a problem with taping (cause they sanction that) but video taping is not okay, it goes against what they want, they came back, enjoy it, dont make them mad

[mattimus5460]

maybe if we could actually get tickets to enjoy this in person we would feel the same way

[Greydjinn]

in a perfect world i guess you have a point, but honestly, the fact that you made a financial point that phish is in financial trouble is nuts. mkdevo has made a really cool contribution to more people gaining access to phish. this is one shining example of real concert experience and purist dudes like you just don't get it. youtube is a fun forum to share video. simple as that, its sharing...now the selling of it is another issue but this is for enjoyment. a passing fancy.

[TheEccentricHippie]

They actually don't say anything about video taping... Plus, it's a risk anyway because guards don't like it... I don't think Phish minds too much though.

[WeekapaugSmooth]

great quality... Thx... i finally get the oppurtunity to see them at Alpine Valley & Toyota Park :)

[djembe41]

i can watch these vids over and over thanks to great camera work, someone who obviously knows something about the music, and the lights thanks to CK5

[Grendel2110]

Guess I'll start saving up for the 2013 reunion tour. Great video.

[aptrosto]

sarcasm?

bc i would still see the dead any day of the week too

as i will phish when theyre old(er) and gray(er)

[gassychicken]

By 2013 maybe fans will be able to get tickets instead of scalpers buying them up by the thousands.

[goldsjo31]

agreed. we gotta get some more tickets flying around for cheaper

[Grendel2110]

I still love and respect their music, I just think it's unfair of the band to jerk their fans back and forth. Here's a compromise: I'll start going to Phish shows again as soon as they refund my Coventry ticket.

[panteys]

They weren't in a good place when Coventry went down, cut them some slack. It's not like jerking their fans back and forth was their intent.

[goldsjo31]

dude...if you are a true phish fan...you would recognize that coventry was not about and still wasn't about going out with a bang...it was a time of mourning, that years and years of touring was coming to an end to work on other things.

trey, mike, page, and jon all did other things, and soon enough realized that they owed it to their fans and to themselves to come back, and at least do a reunion tour.

[Grendel2110]

Perhaps they should have realized that, if they were in such a state, maybe making a big, important and permanent decision like that was a bad idea. Also, no one ever said that Coventry was a funeral. It was more like a celebration - in retrospect - of everything that made the band great. Unfortunately, it looks more like a memorial for everything the band used to be.

Either way, I've been priced out of their concerts for a while, so it's not like I'm gonna shill out the cash to see a flashback

[goldsjo31]

k cool shut up

[Grendel2110]

Will do (as soon as you let Trey's balls out of your mouth).

[IIandrokII]

Who cares what you think jackass. If your not going to say anything good about a great band coming back together then shut the fuck up...

[Grendel2110]

Like my drunk Uncle always says..."Hippies can't take a joke."

[IIandrokII]

You don't have to be a hippie to respect a good band... Like my Drunk uncle always says... "Cocksucker's just can't shut their mouth's for anything..."

[HachikoCockroach]

Except sucking cocks ofcourse..

[phishisgrate]

i wish i had a drunk uncle, it sounds like they say some pretty interesting things

[hippymafia]

"The banker said 'I aint got that but I sure got some powerful pills' Ohhhhhhhhhhhh Yeah!!!!"

[DDiGianni]

Best on Youtube. This shit is so incredibly powerful. Absolutely beautiful. I can't even imagine the band's emotions. They're straight crying at some parts. What an epic choice to start with the one and only Fluffhead. I CANNOT get enough of this.

[Zappa93]

dude!! 2:15 page is CRYING!!! YEA CRYING!!!!

[SpreadHeadLINC]

he's clearly hating life.

[420gobot]

@Zappa93 OMG I just saw that,I have chills right now!

[peterplab]

These are SICK vids. What type of camera did you use?

[phjamm14]

[parkerjh]

[adam414]

[mikeylandau]

You clearly have the best footage and I am such a loser, I'm sure I've seen all. Where's the Weekapaug? Where'd you sit on Sunday? You haven't posted any of that yet.
