[k8eSez]

Love to see Trey dancing around!

[SonicGardenPlaysDead]

Out of all the hundreds and hundreds of concerts Iv'e been to, this crowd was by far the most energetic. Yeah, the guys in the front row were jumping up and down the whole damn show.Thank You New York. Thank you Phish.

[fleshcards69]

This song erupted a crazy whirl of wind of power amongst the crowd. I believe the dudes in the front row that were running like antelope ignited it after Trey starts his minor chord rage around 2 min in. This is definitely the First Tube of our time. It represents the unique rush fans get that Phish brings to their shows... SOMETIMES. Not ever show has a moment like this. Fluffhead opener @ Hampton post hiatus was one other time I felt the power. Hopefully next week we will get something close.

[yourockbro]

so much energy in this song and it came out big time here. i was in the third row up front and you could tell the whole building was literally bouncing.

[BoSoXFaNX86]

I think I would have shit myself in absolute amazement

[Dignon82]

out of 120 shows, there was about a 30 second window of the most raucous phish crowd I ever witnessed for this First Tube....

[cavmusicnyc]

love it all, give it toooo me phish

[hockeyx593]

[thajimi]

[Wambizzle6]

[iajabr]

I was at this show... phrenzied pho sho.

[Crystalship4]

GREAT QUALITY thank you for posting. this show was incredible!!!!

[phishstick21]

There were points where I couldn't even hear the band. By far the highest energy i've ever seen and felt at a concert.

[dapaperrogue]

I have never seen a crowd this crazy before!

[murphmanin]

im so fuckin glad i was there man... right to left side of fishman... its nuts to see em from all angles

[murphmanin]

incredible

[LeggoMyFaygo]

words cannot fully describe what happened in that room during this song. my lord.

[pimpmcgeorge]

Oh...my...science.

[axwell21]

Page is slowly beginning to resemble Keith Godchaux. Coincidence?

[pimpmcgeorge]

@axwell21 haha I can see that. One thing's for sure though, he's gonna look like Vince Welnick in about 15-20 years.

[BooBoo1005x]

godamn i WISH I COULD PLAY THIS THAT FUCKIN GOOD

[weazelzb]

yeeeehaw!!!! how fuckin fun was this!!!! Announce your tour dates NOW phish!!!

[jrlong29]

Thanks for posting. What great quality. When browsing YouTube I most often end up going to this site and two others for the very best youtube has to offer and you the tapper in Phish concert footage. Thanks for all the MSG!

[dgoegan]

very tasty vids. man. thank you. can't wait for miami run. merry christmas.

[tadowjonez]

Phuckin'awesome!! Trey's havin' a blast!

[richiemabie]

what he said

[BtownPhan27]

Ya, I got to chime in on this too. Technically, this song was amazing. Trey was trying to get psychedelic on this one and he succeeded; plus you see how much fun he was having up there?! The band is enjoying every sound and playing great stuff, including most of the new ones. And props to the shot, quality footagekeep it up.

[loving9er]

Usually I don't give the time of day to respond to ridiculous posts but TheAkthor, what the fuck are you talking about? A "horrible first tube from a technical standpoint." This was technically amazing and more importantly the energy of this First Tube was phenomenal.. I guess you should keep hating though.. you do it well.

[atunick14]

AGREED!

[TheAkthor]

great show, horrible first tube from a technical standpoint

[SpazzzDog]

Eh, I dunno. It seemed to add to the experience. It was very organic and groovy!

[Ducatiboy73]

why? cause Trey was bending the notes and changing it up a bit?

Phuck off ya hater!

[gk541]

Unite to bring the indoor rukus back to the Pacific NW!!!

- 2 nights at the Portland Memorial Coliseum

- 2 nights at the Key Arena in Seattle

- 2 nights at the Garage (GMP) in Vancouver BC

Been too long without the indoor light show.

[Ducatiboy73]

I'm from Bellingham and i could not agree with you more! Many of us were talking about the 99 tour....9-9-99 in BC was SICK!!!

hell the whole west coast tour was.

Has it really been 10 years???

Happy New Year

[huntizzy1]

fucking gay

[marcyd43]

freaking AWESOME!!! what a great night this was!!!

[cwgid]

chills

[justhayes12]

my god....

[bullotta]

awesome video. thanks much for capturing and posting. what a great run MSG was!

[nonantum2005]

incredible view, audio and video. 2 thumbs up

[waste9999]

Ive been to alot of concerts before and this may have been the greatest moment at any show i have ever been to. I thought MSG was going to come down everyone was so f-ing crazy

[KidDynamite4]

apeshit is an understatement. The crowd was absolutely FRENZIED. It was manic.

[TheAstroRoth]

5 Stars for the video quality....Trey played this pretty sloppy though.

[pettthedan]

Oh man, the only way to even come close to knowing how loud it was is to watch a crappy cell phone vid of this song. Never thought I'd say that, but it seems like the only way to emulate the crowd effect.

What. a. show.

[bradfordthedeep]

Return of the Jedi indeed. Love it

[aminer1]

7:37 TREY IS A ROCKSTAR. best photo op i've ever missed

[allmixxedup]

goodness gracious!!

[guynamedan]

What a great video, but I really really wish this vid could show how NUTS the crowd got off on this song. Iv never seen so many people orgasm at the same time before

[guynamedan]

I think this song was my fav highlight from that show... I agree with donniedillsko... the crowd went completely apeshit during this song... it got me off so hardcore. You could see the crowd loving trey loving the crowd loving it. Def what I go to a phish show for

[bwh2o]

trey is having a fucking blast. WIWThere!

[ksween93]

yessss... thanks dude. i wanted to find a video of this so bad, but so many of them are bad quality. thanks a million.

i think i might even overdub this with a taper recording of it to get the full crowd effect. even the taper recording doesnt do it justice. when everyone went bezerk, i couldnt even hear the band for a good 5-10 seconds. loudest i've ever heard a concert crowd

[Ltspineshank]

@ksween93 Could't have said it better myself. I was in the second tier and literally heard nothing coming out of the speakers for those 10 seconds or so. First time I've heard the crowd louder than the PA, just HUGE energy

[muckster]

fantastic video. thank you.

[DonnieDillsko]

sucks you can't really hear it on this video, but the crowd went BIZIRK during this song...it was crazy

[Phishboy26]

Trey is on fire this whole show from what i have seen so far. Killer energy
