2.44. magnificent happiness in Gordon's face.

[CWilly913]

Never seen this before. Absolutely Amazing! I have no idea how he makes a bass sound like that! Mike is incredible! Would give anything to play like that!

[blastingcaps]

@CWilly913 Than practice playing the bass.

[CWilly913]

@blastingcaps I do man! I play bass in my band.  I'm ok, but far from being as good as Mike! Thanks for the advice though!

[PandaMcCartney]

TAKE IT OFF MIKE

[hyden234]

now thats how u play a bass

[HSTdrums]

@hyden234 Gordo is amazing.

[SativaBeliver]

my great aunt would smoke that guy on the accordian

[23Phish]

woot

[oldazul]

Mike is the man. Saw the solo show in ATL recently and got to chill with him beforehand. What a great american hero. Pumped for Festival8.

[markah22]

Who's that saying he didn't seem that into it? Apparently you are watching some other video. Listen to Gordeaux's bass fills in the 2nd chorus, and look his shitfaced grin during the accordion solo (esp. at 2:44), and try and tell me that again. Damn! Look at 5:16 -- that is what Mike looks like when he is really really really excited!

PS - Did you catch the "Mighty Good Man" tease toward the climax of the accordion solo!

[etamborra]

Best accordian solo ever.

[scootilybootily]

lovin it, phish is prob my favorite band but i am more excited for more gordo solo stuff personally

[yaboifizzfresh]

mikes back on a solo tour,im seeing him in boston at the somerville theater

[funkiphusband]

This is f'n AWESOME!! Accordian solo adds a nice touch.... sweet acapella ending.... and Mike's bass is all over the place! I strongly disagree with many of the comments below. I love Phish to death.... but this just shows how strong of a player Mike is to be able to jam like that with few instruments, no effects. One of my favorite Gordon solo songs!!!!

[wyget]

there aren't few instruments theres like six instruments there, and phish only has four.

[milktrey]

accordian HAS GO TO GO

[biolegal]

I am digging on this. Mike's unique voice was an element that made Phish so great, and his bass playing and songwriting continue to get better and better...

[cnyeas]

This song sounds so forced.

[AtmaRising]

i always liked the way mike writes....always so inventive and original...has a great ability to write solid tunes!

[buffalofonix]

PASSSSS

I love Phish and Gordon to death, but this is fucked. He didn't even seem into it.

[cnyeas]

Agreed 100%. Lacks the soul that he used to produce. Maybe he still has it, but this doesn't demonstrate it.

[zion3179]

are you serious? listen to this. perfect reason for why phish needs to get back together.

[applepie9876]

Accordian solo!

[chinacatsunflower420]
