  • the chorus reminds me of sublime. or maybe sublime reminds me of phish. hmmmmm.. not for sure what came first.

    <-----New phish fan

  • @pineapplejuice444 you sir are fucking retarded look at the video title this is from 89

  • @nostabssor Your right man i am a retard :) thanks for the observation .

  • I think this was among the first tapes I got in 1990.

  • I fucking love this band with all my heart, they up there with primus and the police for me =D

  • Love to see the the band B4 the band ! Nice post ! Phishin till i am DeaD !

  • 14 People need a nice quick paper-cut on the nipple.

  • those 14 people have to hate their lives. page is a monster on the keys

  • wow 

  • haha oh yeah, you Jon's tripping face

  • Rapist Glasses, now with Pedophile Beard!

    I love phish and this song but i couldn't help thinking that. :)

  • pure joy and love for music. love these guys

  • i love phish

  • those people had NO idea what they were seeing! .. btw .. fish looks like joaquin phoenix here

  • @mbglosser I was at this show. You can see me standing right in front of Trey in some of these videos.This was their 2nd show in Boston at the Paradise (I was also at their 1st). I got a copy of their demo (The White Tape) from their roadie... still have it. My dorm room window was right behind the Paradise. It's because of the people in that room that you folks even know who Phish is. Believe me dude, we knew.

  • @TheFlownetwork you sir, are one lucky bastard

  • @TheFlownetwork a cookie for thee

  • @TheFlownetwork: A few of those people in there moved to seattle shortly after and told us about them. I was there with a bunch of my friends when they played here for the first time in October of 1991. They played my favorite club on 10-11, and 2 days later dropped the Gamehendge on us in Olympia on 10-13. So THANKS!

  • I will be driving to Cincy from Indy in a few hours. Unfortunately it will be to sell my tickets. I find I can't afford to go this time, and none of my friends are able to go either. Oh, well. This will be the 1st show in 20 years that I had tickets for but which I won't attend.

  • Trey looks like a chimpanzee with that orange hair and beard.

  • Holy shit trey looks so college-y

  • When are you kids going to realize music is opinion and not fact.

    I dont like bieber, spice girls, nsync. But are you going to go as far and say they aren't making music?

    Go look up the definition of music.

  • how does trey look the same as he always has? he might be immortal

  • DONT READ THIS CAUSE IT ACTUALLY WORKS. YOU WILL GET KISSED ON THE NEAREST POSSIBE FRIDAY BY THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE. TOMMOROW WILL BE THE BEST DAY OF YOUR LIFE. HOWEVER IF YOU DO NO POST THIS COMMENT TOO AT LEAST 3 VIDEOS WILL DIE WITHIN 2 DAYS. NOW UV STARTED READING THIS DON'T STOP. THIS IS SO SCARY. PUT THIS ON AT LEAST 5 VIDEOS IN 143 MINUTES WHEN UR DONE PRESS F6 AND UR LOVERS NAME WILL APPEARON THE SCREEN IN BIG LETTERS. THIS IS SO SCARY CAUSE IT ACTUALLY WORK

  • I miss the good ol' days when people actually commented on what is going on in the video.

  • Ok, Oasis are a great band, The Beatles are a great band and Phish are a great band. Anyone who can't accept that Phish has musical talent is obviously naive to Phish's music which, if you are naive to a bands music, you should have no right to criticize them in any way, sure, maybe you don't have the patience for intricate classically composed sections or beautifully growing jams, but that's your loss as far as I'm concerned. Don't say a band is "shitty" when you have no idea what they've done.

  • @ComedicAlchemy People really don't understand that Phish puts in an incredible amount of humor into their music... I mean listen to any song (Fee for instance). You have to have an open mind, and not really take their song structures/lyrics too seriously, just sit back, and enjoy

  • ur comparing a simple band with no real funky originality to phish? oasis? really? i bet u like watching soccer also. good luck with everything in ur future buddy, i hope the best for you

  • @jtbagnya1 hey dude i like both bands no need to go after Oasis there is no comparing two completely diffenrent kinds of bands

  • Who is oasis haha phish is it. You want to argue all I can say is Dave Matthews band top grossing and most played venues highest crowd count in history. That's it, in history.

  • Real great singer.....wow....I'm in awe.

  • @colderbeer have you ever heard of composition? Songs are easy and overated, geared towards simple minded folks as yourself who eat up simple melodies and repetition like its the greatest thing ever. The Improvisation, compostition, jazz chords, overlapping vocal harmonies while playing, narrative qualities, and overall contour of the music puts phish in a realm beyond any band ever. The Beatles wrote amazing "STUDIO MUSIC" however Phish puts on album worthy material every show.

  • Gotta love the neard (neck beard)!

  • hahahahhhaha that one guy said his favorite band was Oasis.......yiiiikes bro, there's no fuckin competition here, fishman's left nut has more talent than those goons.. they couldnt even keep their band together and TWO OF THEM ARE BROTHERS. pathetic

  • @Vinsanity15814 Songs such as Wonderwall, Champagne Supernova, Live Forever, and What's the Story Morning Glory are Oasis songs. There isn't a single "song" that Phish has ever produced that can remotely approach any of those Oasis songs, and you know it. You can bash me all you want, but music is music, talent is talent, and facts are facts. I guess if you smoke enough weed, even shitty "songs" can sound pretty good, huh?

  • @colderbeer Watch the video titled "Taste - Phish Walnut Creek". Until Oasis can pull off something like this, and write anything other than cheesy songs with the same chord progressions over and over again, your argument is invalid. Sorry bud.

  • @chrisrebs825 OK, so The Beatles NEVER played to the huge crowds that bands like Phish and Oasis have played to.....so you gonna try and tell me that Phish is a better or greater band than the Beatles too? (WTF?) And unlike Phish, when Oasis played it wasn't an excuse for thousands of dope-heads to gather and get high together and sway to shitty "music." Talent is talent. Ask yourself how many people in places like Japan, Australia, Europe, etc. appreciate Oasis, and who has even heard of Phish.

  • @colderbeer um... The Beatles played venues like Shea Stadium you tard.

  • @GoodOldDaze7 A whopping 55,000 people attended Shea Stadium on August 15th, 1965. (and just think...the worst Beatles song is BETTER than the "best" Phish "song!") Like I said before Einstein, The Beatles never played to crowds as large as the crowds that bands like Phish and Oasis have played for. Ever heard of Wembley Stadium? Huh? Hey....any more brilliant comments? No? OK....go back to your bong hits....typical Phish fan.

  • @colderbeer

    @colderbeer

    Are you mentally challenged? Trey Anastasio, the lead guitar player for Phish in case you didn't know, played with the New York Philharmonic. Talent and popularity are incredibly independent of each other. I will say two words to prove my point. Justin Bieber. That is all. I bid you adieu.

  • @colderbeer Also Phish has sold out shows in Japan, and did a successful European tour in 97...This band is beyond anything you could understand. Zappa would be disappointed in you.

  • @colderbeer Phish toured Japan in 2000 to largely sold-out venues.. European tour '97 was one of their most successful ever... They have had 8 independent festivals, with their ninth one coming up this Independence day, and each one has drawn crowds of 60,000+. I'm not gonna tell you to like the music, because I can certainly understand why someone wouldn't, but to say that they have no talent or popularity is just... willfully ignorant. Peace, brotha

  • @migbee I'm convinced....thanks. Tomorrow I'll be at Barnes and Noble buying Phish CDs.....

  • @colderbeer Hey man, if you don't like it, you don't like it. I'm not trying to make you like it. I was just letting you know that Japan and Europe certainly have heard of Phish.

  • @colderbeer .....i guess if youre hammered off drinkin enough beer then even a band like oasis can sound pretty good, huh? nah, probably not even then. they suck BIIIIIG cock. go listen to your 5 oasis songs on repeat and stop watching videos of a band you dont even like. nobody wants you here.

  • @colderbeer Comparing so different bands like Oasis, Phish & The Beatles only shows how retarded can a Human Being be. There is no way to say which is worst or better, it's like saying Metallica is a better band than Pink Floyd...

  • @LizardKingJesus Yeah, I'm retarded and you're so full of shit that it's coming out of your ears. And oh, Pink Floyd is far more talented and a greater band than Metallica.....duh. It's ok....it's the dope...I understand. Goodbye genius.

  • @colderbeer You dumb piece of shit motherfucker. Why the fuck would you ever even compare oasis to phish, these two bands are totally different. I like both bands, but honestly, i prefer phish a million times, so stop commenting and watching a video you don't even like. Pink floyd, metalica, phish, and the beatles are awesome. fuck u bitch, go suck ur dad's dick or something.

  • @nirvana20202020 Nirvana is the most over-rated band......EVER. Had Axle Rose committed suicide instead of Kurt Cobain, people would have been sobbing and going on and on about what a genius Axle Rose was.

  • @colderbeer hahahaha.... Oasis sucks.

  • This is a really great quality video considering it's 1989. The close ups and everything. Great video, thanks! You are a true Phish Phan.

  • I love all theirs songs have character to them.... you know? its like each song has a personality of its own.

  • in the cool shade of the banana tree I love the dead and phish painting a portrat of a dream

  • Aaaaaand, just like that, the replay button shatters.. Good thing I can rewind to the beginning!! :D *does so* Damn now thats broken..

  • Chill as fuck

  • when the piano plays, i melt everytime.

  • I love seeing old vids of phish's "old school" jams

  • magical

  • dude its just phish. at least phish doesnt talk about fucking girls and getting fucked up phish's songs are all a story and unique jazz blues jam funk bluegrass it all there

  • I probably watched this 10 times today :P

    lol trey is def trippin face :)

  • Comment removed

  • Oh I love you "Fee"... im just getting into the Junta album.. it's really unlike Phish's other works... I'm glad they have variety, but this really contributes something depthy... it's pure somehow...

  • @jkweddingentrancesux do the world a favor a jump off a bridge. If you wanna go dissing Phish like that the world could def do without the likes of you. You obviously have great taste in music if your talking about Phish like that. I know alot of people who dont like Phish but respect the HELL outta there talent! I agree go listen to your justin bieber shit and f@&% off!

  • Trey's IQ has to be in 140 range.

  • @jtdiver

    maybe after u add 100 pts to it.

    why do u idiot "phans" pretend these guys are anything but the ph-ucking dunces they really are?

    this shit is juvenile & hokey !

  • @didjndrums you have to be kidding. fishman and tim alexander are to of the best active drummers... and both in jam bands... so what does that say

  • @thefinkiewicz Dude, I know that. I was kidding cuz Jon looks like a caveman.....get it? Fishman is crazy good!

  • Playing drums in a jam band........so easy a caveman can do it

  • love the lightshow

  • dumbest band ever

    hard to believe these dummy "phans" pretend they are good musicians....no GREAT/The grestet musicians ever

    they fucking suck

    so boring

    anyone could play this garbage]biggest hoax evah

  • @jkweddingentrancesux lol you need to get laid and drop some acid know what I'm sayin? this is some real groove. you just don't like them because you don't have an ear for music, so go back to you justin bieber albums.

  • Comment removed

  • @jkweddingentrancesux I'd like to take lil waynes discography and shove it up your ass buddy.

  • @jkweddingentrancesux please learn how to play foam then get back to me. they play funk jazz bluegrass and whatever they want because they are way more talented musicians than your favorite band. i gurantee it. they are completely professional. why else would santana, bb king, bruce springsteen and jay z all share the stage with them?

    because they are the best, you faggot

  • owwwwwwwwwwwwwoooooooooooooooo­oooooHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhHHHH­HHHHHHHHHHHaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • It's probably partly the 80s recording quality, but Trey's voice sounds very young and relaxing.

  • amazing how much their music has progressed. everything has just gotten so much tighter. i guess 20 years will do that tho! most notably pages skill on keys. so much better

  • The late 80's into the mid-90's was the height of live performances for Phish . . . small, intimate venues! Best shows I ever saw had no more than a few hundred people. Their recording success starting in the 90's, though successful, killed any chance of them playing any small venues again. Too bad! It is just not the same seeing them at a large arena. I miss the old Phish!!

  • i saw nuclear assault at the paradise...wish id seen Phish instead lol same year even.

  • Has there ever been an amazing band with worse lyics?

  • @saphojunkie You're listening to the wrong music. I never found this music to be about the lyrics. Words and meanings take away from the musical story. Distracting. Make the words as unrecognizable as notes and you have something interesting that I really enjoy.

  • sliced his nipple..."shiver"

    works every time lol

  • Doniac Schvice.. HOw bout that yo!!

  • soooooooo epic....love the early footy

  • this is my favorite video ever

  • Excellent early stuff.

    The keys are really on point.

    "Trying to live a life that is completely free"

  • listening to this reminds me of my friend playing song he "wrote" called gyspy witch is just fee on bass with some lyrics changed, me my dad, me friend and his dad went camping when we went to see dark star orchestra and i was playing guitar and he was playing that song he "wrote" singing it all night long i was saying "dude, it's like 1:00 am, please stop singing that song" and he would say no so i left to another spot and this coment way out of control

  • phish was not made for the internet and its insecure denizens

    luckily phish is immune to hate

  • @guruu13 thank you for helping me learn a new word today!

  • phuckin phantastic. whoevers talkin on this is a phool

  • that guy is goofy

  • Classic phish!!!! Check out rebadipaladledotcom for more!!!

  • Oh yeah, that's a great video.

    Phish is a awesome band, exclusively Trey, the GREAT composer, he's a complete musician. Most people don't know that band well. Is it bad?

  • wow...pre-Languedoc guitar !! this is old....thanks for posting

  • @TangoBinAlsheed actually that is one of his 1st languedocs. with the maple top i believe. you can watch vids from 87 where he is still on the time guitar.

  • @TangoBinAlsheed

    That's a languedoc that Trey is playing. That's the blonde.

  • i was there

  • unmistakable, uncanny, undertoe, underlying, undeniably underapreciated,unlike,undress­ed. I like em

  • My God! They are so young! Guess I am getting old, damn! I can't think of anything else right now but I was on a roll with the exclamation points!

  • This song rocks in gym class!

  • Oh, Fee, you're trying to live a life

    That's completely free.

    You're racing with the wind

    You're flirting with death

    So have a cup of coffee

    And catch your breath

  • Man. and I thought Trey couldn't sign nowadays. Haha.

  • I am sort of a younger fan and i always loved phish and my dad would'nt let me go to their madison square garden show a while back. then when they broke up i was devstated. im so glad they got back together i got to got the alpine valley shows they were awesome!

  • I try to live a life thats completely free

  • Is this the show when the owner wouldn't let them play so they just rented the place out and a couple friends from Burlington rented two blue bird busses???

  • @malacki13 Yes Sir! The good ole days!

  • and don't get crazyfingers started on Gingers, the things he would do to Ron Howard

  • why, why the hell would you say that

  • @crazyfingers64 lame bro

  • That is the funniest comment i have ever heard!!!! Honestly, that just made my day!!

  • somebody slice crazyfigers64 on the nipple.....

  • Comment removed

  • 'bar in Peru....in a old dutch zoo....'

  • this shits nuts.

  • Impresed with how Trey's aged - hair's a little longer and glasses smaller, a few years of cocaine crow's feet but otherwise he looks pretty much the same.

  • I was thinking the same thing. Pretty much looks the same

  • Tryin 2 live a life thats Completely FREEEEE

  • this is solid, pretty gnarly to see the dudes so long ago. keep jamming youtubers.

  • jesus you guys suck

  • that's just bad ass

  • the inside of my ear iches thought i would share that

  • hasee but lovble memoirs... phis inmortls............ had to b there to feel> but if you could grasp the joy from the echo..

    //what a joy

  • Colderbeer's right guys, maybe we should all start listening to horrible music and stop being such low-lifes..he makes so much sense. What a loser. Seriously man, you really think that everyone who smokes pot is a low life? Actually alcohol is proven to be worse, more addicting, and cause more deaths every year..But your too dumb to think about that stuff. Face it, you spend your sad life browsing videos of bands you dont like and talking shit on them and their fans...so who's the real low-life?

  • Yeah those were the days

  • '89 for sure? Looks like it may be early 90's?  *shrug*

  • my friend told me about these guys ... they carry an alright groove, but just good to chill with, nothing I could really get into..

  • hahah an alright groove? first of all your on the wrong song to make a decision about phish... even tho this song kicks ass... like... this isnt what phish is about. listen to a dope punch you in the eye or harpua or disease or somethin....

  • please elaborate?

  • Don't worry about the haters Phish fans! If everyone liked Phish it wouldn't be special; it would be grey and ordinary. The fact that it is so unique and full of talent will breed hate. Those losers probably just got done trying to play Trey chords and now they are frustrated......

  • Wow, must be terrible for a band named by Rolling Stone as "The Most Important Band of The 90's" very interesting in a benign, completely uneducated, intellectually non existent kind of way but interesting all the same. If you don't get it there is no need to berate people because they do. Making a comment in a very non-intrusive way is one thing but really more importantly why even take the time to comment if you really hate it that much you have sort of sold out to yourself in a way.

  • That's fine. Sorry you won't ever know the joys of Phish. Instead, you're stuck watching their videos and wasting your day insulting them. Bummer, man!

  • you came on a phish vid to crack on them....you are really my kind of loser....I bet you love lil wayne

  • Look everyone!!!! Putzy Joe Melendez himself has graced us w/ his presence here on a PHiSH video!! WOW....we should be honored that such a troll has shown his face here...thanks Putz! You're the best (at being a putz)!!! Now, as your hero said back in the day..."Just Beat It!"

  • Long live the Dead!, Muahaha!

  • If not then I can see why you may not understand music or what's good. What is your favorite band? I think you need to play music to understand. Music is a like a language of its own. Don't trash things without understanding them. Pickup some sticks or a guitar then you'll get it.

  • Colderbeer makes some good points. But where are they besides saying Phish sucks? Music is sbujective as prjctcivilian stated very well. I listen to Phish and enjoy their music. Does Trey have the best voice? No. Do the words make sense? No. You can say the same for Frank Zappa who was one of the single most talented musicians ever. Wrote every piece of music by hand for every instrument with little training. Amazing. Do you play an instrument colderbeer?

  • oh man... Page is all over the place!!! he messes up real bad!! But i love old school Phish!!!

  • yea colder if you hate phish so much why do you keep comming back and saying the same thing?...your just making yourself look like an ass like most drunks do :D

  • i think i will colder.. =)

    dont you have some alcohol poising to die from

    or something

  • these gentlemen are experiencing the effects of psilocybin

  • never!!! lol

  • fishman looks like joaquin pheonix on letterman!

  • no joaquin phoenix looks like fishman in 1989. fishman is THE trendsetter of the modern era

  • that's true

  • Fishman is the busiest man in showbiz.

  • ya oasis is nothing but a couple of brothers who couldnt get along and had to disband.....good example

  • oasis has faded phish lives on need anymore proof that phish is better.

  • Comment removed

  • Don't lie...you never went to the prom.

  • you cant even begin to understand what real music is.....go listen to lil wayne douche

  • Oasis? Seriously?

  • wow, i can't believe oasis was just compared to phish.

  • some people...

  • i jus threw up in my mouth...

  • lol..oasis

  • hahah oh my god. Oasis??? you fag!

    Phish fans aren't all druggies, most of them are just people who can appreciate some good jazz-rock music

  • hahahahaha Oasis? fuck off dude

    Phish is right up there with the grateful dead as one of the most innovative and intricate jam bands ever. Can u say that? Intricate? do you know what it means? nevermind dont wanna make you think to hard. Ur probably having enough trouble already with Wonderwall

  • Hey, man, that's awesome. I love oasis. And the killers are so hot right now!  The look so cool on stage! And Coldplay is so awesome, too! You know what else is awesome? Slow, emotional sex in missionary position!! Now, THAT's rock and roll!!

    Go cry alone on the floor of the shower, you big baby.

  • You know what...I will go smoke some weed...and I really couldn't care less if you don't like Phish...I wouldn't want someone like you to enjoy there brilliant music anyway....

  • music is subjective, so what if people smoke weed, (where does the tattoo statement come from) does that make them less credible is liking music? white trash? where does that come from? most of us don't live in massive trailer parks. Phish is a very musically talented band and are far more complex and dynamic than oasis who have sounded the exact same for their lives. When you learn anything about music theory and then look at oasis u will realize they are not talented in comparisson to phish

  • the guitar? drumming? piano isn't amazing technically speaking but sounds great!

  • @colderbeer search youtube for divided sky 10.31.94 then get back to us

  • Where does one find such a high horse? If you'd read anything, you'd have discovered that Phish grew to notoriety among New England college students, most of whom were upper-middle class. But where do you come off feeling superior to people in misery (and how does asserting your conceit make your point)? The only fact you've uncovered is that you don't like Phish, and you feel like you have something to prove on a discussion board of people you know disagree. Face the music: you're an idiot.
