Phish 1999-12-31 After Midnight (Afternoon Set)

[npaolucci2001]

best party i've ever been to in my entire life

[harpua76]

one of my favorite moments of big cypress (only my 3rd show, how lucky am i?)...never seen a crowd so amped after a set! as we were walking back to the campground, a wave of cheers kept rippling through the herd, just like the wave at a baseball game. f-in unbelievable, and somehow i never saw it coming. "we'll see you right here, after midnight"...thought i was gonna die of happiness! this show trails only my wedding and the births of my kids among the high points in my life!

[ElZafacon]

It seems like a repeating story...a Phish concert was also the very best time that I've ever had!

[grover4458]

everybody was sooo stoked

[PhishSince1994]

It was the afternoon set before the 7.5 hour set. WAs the teaser leading into it, perfect pick. I was there...everyone went nuts. Ridiculous festival.

[mandogordo]

They will never be the same,hell new years isnt the same since then!!

[notmefuckingname]

@mandogordo tru dat

[mulephan]

First Pish show of many and let me tell you, what a show! I will never forget

[TheChrisborn]

no shit man, best NIGHT of my life no fuckin doubt

[crustyundies123]

best weekend of my whole life....peak phish experience. once in a lifetime..it will never be topped.

[Hunsanity]

but then the tower jam would never have happened...it shoudl never end bro...never.

[chukhustle]

they should of played there last show here instead

[ChillyCheezItz]

One of the most memorable 6 minutes and 19 seconds of my life!

[pcburgh01]

Remember how intense the crowd was leaving this set! Fireworks going off, champagne bottles, people yelling ; man i had one hell of a time at this show!!!

[ChillyCheezItz]

Unforgettable... the whole evening between the afternoon and late-night sets was the most electric atmosphere I've ever been a part of!

[dershed]

I remember watching part of this set from the top of the ice block pyramid they had built out in left field.  Every memory of BC just puts a huge grin on my face - one of the best long weekends of my life!

[strockman]

I think that I may have been sitting next to you on the ice.

[colonelbeef]

I was on one of the blocks that they laid out in a trail next to the pyramid. That's hilarious. Nice to see you guys again.

[captaingraff]

I found out what it is all about

[tristramshandy3]

was it all peaches and cream?

[rasbradley]

I PISSED MY PANTS!!!

[gr8fuldad0518]

this was and is possibly one the greatest phish moments for me... just knowing they were coming back for an all night set and all of a sudden they break into this... fuckin' sweet... whenever i hear this shit i seriously almost fuckin' cry im so excited... i love you phish... thank you...

[thehurricaine23]

It was the only first time played song at Cypress I think

[thehurricaine23]

Its the last song in the afternoon set. Greatest millenium party ever! We will hold that title for a thousand years! Yeah it's awesome they chose to break it out, it was always a favorite and to hear them do it was sick.

[BigEdgePoker]

This was a great song pick. Was a long set and everyone thought they were done after guyute.

[bostonbrass]

Man did Trey have some chops when he was something resembling coherent! That first solo is note for note and bend for bend the Clapton solo from the album.

This always reminds me of the "1999" opener from NYE '98 in terms of the crowd going nuts. I thought this was the musical highlight of Big Cypress.

Long live Phish.

[errandwolfe2001]

All of Clapton's solo is in this song, Trey breaks it up and puts in his own jamming, cuz,well, he's Trey.

Summer can't get here soon enough. ALthough we got jipped on the dozen or so tour dates, when they're usually lots of dozens of tour dates. Oh well I'll take what I can get.

[rowena004]

This was so sick...I still listen to it all the time-

[jtrain4000]

jj Cale

[Phishdrix04]

anyone know who originally did this song? I know clapton did it, and i have a version of Jerry Garcia and Merl Saunders doing it too, all are funky as shit

[ben1558]

jj cale but eric clapton covered it and made it famous

[dershed]

If you liked Jerry's version you should check out JGB "After Midnight: Kean College, 2/28/80", he jams it in and out of the Beatles' Eleanor Rigby - some of the most intense fretboard workouts I've ever heard!

[captaingraff]

Thank you

[SunHead01]

i rememeber this..it was about 6 or 7 then they came back at midnight with the heat!@!!!!

[phishfunk420]

melt-catapult philthy

[sblackstone]

This has to be the one from the midnight set - I remember it being light out too...

[tdunski]

this is from the afternoon set, Trey says "we'll see you back here, after midnight" cmon guys dont doubt TeddyD

[Rustocaps]

@tdunski I too remember it being much lighter out but this is clearly the afternoon set.

[aspazmodic]

This was the afternoon set closer. The sun was setting during the prior Split Open and Melt > Catapult, Get Back on the Train...

[tzolkin2013]

They played it twice...once during the afternoon set and once during the "Midnight to Sunrise" set.

[pauly7917]

wasnt it lite out,during this tune??

[fluffhead717]

no, the sun had just set. what a great time. great memories!! everytime i hear this song on the radio, it always takes me back to Big Cypress.
