@phunkybiotch lol! Perhaps they have horrible aim and missed the "like" button by about a centimeter. I can't imagine how frustrating that must be for them. :P
I'm an old Deadhead and late to the Phish party, but this is Just Exactly Perfect and I don't care who knows it. And I agree with a91585, it's really four aces playing at their peak. Fish just tears me up. (May be blasphemy, but I really wish the Grateful Dead would have had a drummer as good as Fish!) Geez, this must be that face-melting thing the kids talk about.
this doesn't have over a million views because its been posted by several other people, check out the views on some of the other postings of this video
@whatspoppinshorty the best ghost ever is 7-23-1997 in Atlanta- and I wasn't there, so I have no bias or anything. It's about 30 minutes long, and if you listen to it correctly, the earth will open up before your eyes and melt into a piece of cheesecake. FUCK!
Man, this video wears me out. It is just so awesome that I can barely take it. They rip it SO hard in this jam. That moment when @ 4:00 Trey takes it up an octave gives me chills every time. And the madness that ensues afterwards...truly amazing.
gd i hope trey doesn' have a chronic, progressive disease that the opiates were covering up so that he could play like this. Cuz he can't now, at least for the most part. still love em and see em a lot, and NOT a hater. this shit melts my face. love thee guys. here's to a sick 2010!
I totally hear you guys, i used to think phish jams just consisted of trey screwing around and being fucked up on drugs, but no longer. Phunky ass Phish is the shit, almost as ridiculous as Umphreys McGee
comparing dmb and phish is apples and oranges as well but still they both do have a good live show .... as far as musically phish is traveling at mach speed
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Phish just use electric guitar effects and play high up on the neck and pretend that they're really feeling what they're playing when its a load of crap.. tim reynolds is more talented.. and dave's acoustic guitar playing is amazing.. listen to "The Stone" for some real music
a few years ago i would have thought the same thing - cause i didn't get phish. now i feel the opposite. phish is all feel and in the moment, tim reynolds can play exceptionally well, but is more often than not way too overpowering and playing annoying solos. it's cool, you wont agree unless you "get" phish - you'd prob just be better not making these comments though
i dont listen to dmb for tim reynolds.. first of all he's not a permanent member, and second, everyone else in the band is also extremely talented.. have u ever listened to carter drum?
i spent ten years listening to dmb obsessively, roi died and it all ended for me. I find them difficult to listen to with the way tim and jeff play. they're not "official" members, but they're not going anywhere either.
You ought to consider the massive following phish has must account for more than a load of crap
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
"Just because MTV tells you they are good"
That is bullshit, because the only reason people think Phish are good is because bro's tell them its true. When they go to a concert, they don't remember how much the band sucked (or that they were seduced by another bro while on a bad trip), they just think they like a shitty band because their whole crew tells them its true.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
and im assuming with your MTV comment that your making fun of how DMB is actually somewhat mainstream.. maybe because they actually have some fucking talent.. stop tripping "bro" and listen to good music
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
How can you even begin to make fun of DMB fans.. phish fans are notorious for getting bro raped, wearing gay ass tye dye shirts, and smoking weed so they can pretend the "jams" they listen to are actually good.. there is no structure at all to anything they play, every note is worshiped no matter how fucking out of place it is.. so continue to pretend you're a dead head and go fuck yourself faggot
the lack of ignorance shown in your comment is unbelievable.. i never said i dont respect anyone who likes phish.. i do enjoy several of their songs, but overall i am not a big fan.. because i have my own opinion of a band means im unintellegent.. well im sorry that you and your cult fans are trying to recreate the dead-head persona and feel the need to worship every note played by these guys.. fuck off
i thought i would enjoy phish if i listened to them more cuz im a big dave matthews band and like similar types of music.. but they just dont do it for me
does anyone know where to find other videos of phish that are as great as this. i've seen like all the phish videos on here time and time again. someone send me some that you think are just rediculous i need new phish videos
Greatest thing about this jam is the marvelous segway into CITIES. This is a prime ghost jam but the fact that it segways into cities makes me cum in my pants. Ok nevermind but its awesome
Damn that's good.

"there is no structure at all to anything they play"
now that is one ignorant viewpoint.
I have listened to a lot of DMB and Phish.
Both bands have talent. Phish uses more aspects of music that i adhere to, such as a lot of improvisation and long composed, classical-esque sections.
And that you can't beat that chemistry. They have an unmatched ability to compliment each other and seem as if they are in each others heads
