[laneline04]

Amazing your timing with the sound and video editing, one of the best videos I've seen online for a live phish video taping.

[cedens0001]

The only Phish song thats worth a shit.

[blightlv]

@cedens0001 clueless brah... they got plenty of songs just like this that just slay faces.. you just don't know where to look..

[jiggymelt]

fuck. maybe too brilliant for all us mere mortals to understand. fuckin love it tho

[jets9119]

amazing

[vooptr]

What chord is he hitting!!?!?!  it's an e of some sort....

[pledge42]

my face is melting

[hassaan561]

at 3:24 page knows what they're doing is the SHITTT. wow crazy.

[chrristtinexx]

@hassaan561 my thoughts exactly

[hassaan561]

i want to be in that front row. wow looks like fun.

[agusbudiman08]

absurd, good absurd

[scootilybootily]

those front row guys are going nuts, that's awesome

[IXxEatDaPooPooXxI]

this is terible, my gf told me took check them out... i can oviously tell she has terible taste in music!

[GnosticAirChild]

@IXxEatDaPooPooXxI somebody obviously has terRible taste in music but it's not her... you probably shouldn't be together if only one of you can understand phish

[bbadphish]

@IXxEatDaPooPooXxI coming from a person who chose ixxeatdapoopooxxl..... doesn't surprize me the least..... but keep trying

[jessebah]

Standard, top shelf First Tube. Doesn't quite reach the level of brilliance as the one they played by my telepathic request at what is undisputedly their best show ever, a while back before the hiatus, I don't remember exactly when or where.

[phjamm14]

guitar hero

[HeyStupidFlanders]

amazing video thanks!

serious was hot shit!

[TheTucker77777]

that was some hot shit!

[andy23822]

@chaiko64 Yeah, you've seen many first tubes. But not like this one.........

[chaiko64]

I have seen so many first tubes it is hard to say this is the best one ever..

[sdpateathotmail]

attacked it like never before. sweetness

[Nectardrip]

1 second ago

perfect song if you like to FLY! just pure straight up warpspeed adrenaline rocketship space rock! when they play this live, fasten your seatbelts. glad I hit up all 3 MSG's 2009.

[ph94oakmountain]

best first tube without question

[smokinreel130]

a thousand points of beautiful light, like a koala bear crapped a rainbow in my brain

[izDeadHeaD420]

This was my first phish show pure fire. Got my tickets for new years im ready for a little msg reunion new years run style.

[billytim7]

very...

just awesome

[TheJrob19]

haha its just not fair!

[TheDanification]

he's using a swing beat. trey is forcing the notes a little but early or late for emphasis. i think its awesome

[aerofreek1]

Why does his guitar sound out of rhythm with everyone else? Sounds Like shit.

[MyManDan]

@aerofreek1 Because this song is too brilliant for you to understand.

[pantalapampanaga]

@aerofreek1 ahahahahahahahahaha. plenty of phish for the rest of us then, my friend.

[iluvmychucks]

@aerofreek1 dont hate

[beholdthelord]

@aerofreek1 If you have to ask, you'll never know.

[VerbinStudios]

@aerofreek1 That would be called syncopation my friend. It is completely purposeful. A lot of musicians do this to give it a wobbly and off beat kind of cool feel. Anything Trey is doing...he means it.

[rlanantelope]

@VerbinStudios And that is why we love him :)

[VerbinStudios]

@rlanantelope Indeed my friend :)

[gnrfanatic141414]

@aerofreek1 he's playing triplet's over eighth notes. it's not out of rhythm, and it doesn't sound like shit. in my opinion, there's no such thing as bad music. all music is good, it just might sound bad to your ears, as in that it's not your personal taste. if you don't like something about this, then keep your opinion to yourself. i personally hate hip hop and think it's terrible. is it bad? no, I just can't stand it. if they're not positive, then keep your comments to yourself.

[aerofreek1]

Why does his guitar sound out of rhythm with everyone else?

[HeyGidz]

@aerofreek1 because it is thats the point

[Tudoggs]

@aerofreek1 wow . . . you just have no idea.

[Rhet0rik]

Cannot wait for 2011 to get here (but not before the fall tour hits)!

[Euphoriaman]

Trey get a new toy?? sounds like a reverse effect at 4:18, sounds good :)

[gophishn]

Phan Participation is what it is all about kidzzz!!!!

[Euphoriaman]

@gophishn i love participation! i think more people need to participate so when me or my friends give opportunities to participate i always give participation points :)

[Rasbudzz]

@gophishn ROLLS HEADIES DOSES!!!!!!

[tadowjonez]

UnFUNKIN'real!!!

[tadowjonez]

Fall tour, here I come!!!!! Can't get enough!! I'll also be seeing my 1st Halloween show eva'.. And I got hookt in '96... Peace ta' all!! See ya'z there!!!!!!!!

[usmcpoolguy99]

[iamjamielincoln]

[mtcwv420]

CK motherfucking 5!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Luke139]

The dudes in the front are goin' offfffff haha they're jumping like Kobe.

[XXPhyshXX]

Best part 0:00-8:20  :)

[JBlueMast]

@XXPhyshXX My like for this video extends infinitely in both directions.

[GratefulCassidy]

Ummmm, GORDON IS THE SHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEUUUUUUUUUT­.......

[wscarli11]

Awww that would be cool as shit if phish plays at the superbowl

[alahossain]

trey looks like rafiki holding up simba

[bacase1]

[GMS61]

[mtlaw13]

Thank you

[BradleyRIP]

[GrandaddyPhunk]

Great video

[ytreen]

happy page around 3:30 :-)

[phishisphine]

damn

[beholdthelord]

@ all who replied to my Superbowl comment: You are correct; Phish is not an ideal phit for that venue. But you gotta admit, under perfect circumstances that would be the phreakin shit!!!

[beholdthelord]

Holy shitcakes, you got a seriously good audio on your cam. Or i'm just hi. Both??? Regardless, thx. for the vid, nice job.

[Mojomatrix]

CK for the epic win !

[scottbicks]

All your Phish videos are stellar!! Its nice to be able to look back on these and live it up!

[sircash13]

MAN PHISH! SO CLOSE TO NO ONE. U ROCK . THE BEST YET.

[leesmommyishot]

they ripped this!

[marynightshade]

This is good, but...the version Trey did on an Austin City Limits CD was faster and really rocked.

[bradfordthedeep]

There are reasons the Farmhouse version was nominated for "Best Rock Instrumental" Grammy. This. Song. Rocks.

[NFeraPro]

Luckily ive been to the majority of NY shows they ve played since their reunion. they never fail to put on a sick show, im so happy i got to see this live!

[tbrandt803]

OMG, watch it full screen with headphones!

SICK!

[seshes42o]

i had to sign in just to like this epic first tube!!!

trey and the boys are rippin it haaarrd!

i can feeel the amazing vibes from my computer!!

[harpua971]

Sometimes I forget how much I dig these guys. Then I listen to something like this or Guyute or Stash and I'm reminded why I like Phish so much.

[eatmorelsd]

well look at trey :O

wow the drugs must have been the good ones wise choice treyzorz

[r1chie311music]

raw song

[pimpmcgeorge]

Anyone hating on this clearly wasn't there. It's a good thing I brought an extra pair of boxers and set break came right after this, cause I pretty much shat my pants.

[srgtmurphy]

I have been trying to find out the name of this song for 8 fucking years. Thanks I forgot how awesome it was.

[KireLegub79]

I was at this show, and it was AMAZING!! The energy of the crowd during this song was electric. Viva la Phish!

[swaimb]

Oh and that Hannity guy too!

[jweirjweir]

phish is the shiiiiiiit

[atwhitac]

Trey is loving the dudes in the front row

[aweiszz]

holy shit!! look at treys energy!!!

[bcterry1984]

Along with character zero, arguably the best Set I closers in the phish 3.0's catalog(to build energy for set II)

[dubjohn62]

AWESOME VID!! Going to shows in Raleigh and Charlotte this summer hopin' i catch a tube

[pnoplkr333]

gad dang hippies, fun looking show

[cteezy11]

its to bad mtv decided to fuck music up for life because phish is one of the greatest bands ever and on most songs now a days people just play power chords. no one solos or jams anymore. but when i hear stuff like this i know there is hope

[memonkey]

is that a straight eighth note solo i hear? holy shit man you are SO GOOD!

[haffyhefe]

Yeah Trey! Grab it like a toilet seat!

[88HELLHATHNOFURY88]

CANT WAIT JUNE 29th SEEING PHISH at CMAC!!!!!!!!

[SecondHandBlunt]

[rjd91289]

trey's feeeeeeeeeeeeeeelin' it

[meleaveacommentfoo]

PHISH IS LIFE FOO!

[jtsjakethesnake]

[ShutupJackson]

[milliegrace100]

[deathlikesilence710]

Fuck... cant wait for Berkeley

[dontwatchmtv]

The summer tour will be sick. I can't wait for the Tulluride shows!!! Please let me win the lottery!

[louismiller16]

i can not wait for summer tour and the fact that they are closing at Jones Beach!!!! :) Love the videos hope to see more of them from 2010 summer!

[snowman11686]

look how much fun trey is having almost as much fun as the kids god i love this band, cant wait till this summer

[doryman1000]

Phish.....seriously?

[gondor420]

i love the energy. haven't seen this level since 98-99. i hope the newbies appreciate what they are getting

[Irongirl99]

One of my fav Phish pieces. Came across your video when looking for the Best version of First Tube. Awesome frenetic energy from Trey and Mike laying down that powerful bassline. And with Ck's lights my face just melted. Thanks!

[c0smickk]

Trey getting down like no ones watching while Mikes sharin' the groove and damn, the energy of the crowd pushing right back there's nothing like a Phish show, its a cleansing experience - and you never know what you're going to get. Long live 3.0!

[luisete2020]

wow, never heard it before... is great!

[nicolerae100]

YES! :D

[Fluffyfluffyhead]

HOLY CHEEZWHIZ!

[hoontare]

trey refuses to show mercy

[beholdthelord]

Phish should play the superbowl in 2011. I want to see all them North American rednecks tripping out to 1st Tube.

[hoontare]

haha there'd be tons of phans at the bowl just to see phishm it'd be like a concert there'd be people tripping at the superbowl and stuff haha all the other people wouldn't know what to do they'd be so confused haha

[MichaelKnight71]

@beholdthelord sorry to say, but I don't think that would ever happen. I'm a big Phish fan, but at the last super bowl, when The Who played, everyone at the party just complained about how they didnt get that type of music until someone turned it down! I was kinda mad cause I really wanted to watch that. But there are not enough people these days who like this kind of stuff. :(

[buffalofonix]

@beholdthelord In an ideal world I think that shit would rock. Unfortunately, the average American doesn't have a fucking clue as to what constitutes good music. see MTV for endless examples

[1Thisisgay]

@beholdthelord

Would be a badass halftime show you are correct!

[wholewheatbagel]

@beholdthelord. once you play superbowl you are officially a nostalgia act. 

[bmac247]

@beholdthelord

as long as there is a 2 hour halftime i would have no problem with this!

[DoozinHoozie]

@beholdthelord best idea I've heard in years



[DoozinHoozie]

@beholdthelordm, Imagine the insanity if they did one of those mega compilations bands are doing at these type of gigs.....what would they pick......and how would they transition?? :) lol

[cachick420]

This is kickass !!!!

[phacemeltmikeod]

ultra gnarly

[TheMilfordSound]

i want your camera

[moephishron1]

i loved every minute of this show!!!! wish i could recall is more though.. awesome vids!!!!

[splitopennmelt]

Not a band even close to these guys!

[MsThings]

HOT HOT HOT! This is a youtube FAVORITE, for sure! No doubt! & thank you... thank you, Phish!

[VIEWMASTER420]

killer version,great quality

[gzfosheezy]

those dudes in the frontrow were ragin hard alllllllll night

[hyperness42]

Once again, Trey has mad dancing skills

[x04evr2getherx0]

@hyperness42 maybe he does that to keep the beat of the song while he plays the offbeat guitar riff

[hyperness42]

Maybe, but either way. He has mad dancing skills

[Sparklesdistract]

@monolith. this isnt the first night @ MSG--it's the third.

[monolith942]

beans you're gonna freak. i'm incredibly jealous. rage it out!

^ this video is the best i've seen from the first night at MSG this year. outstanding job sir!

[iwstandard]

anyone have a good link to a soundboard from this show?
