Frankenstein - Phish 2009 June 21 - Alpine Valley - HD

[smditto]

cool concert! i was there that night but was all the way back

[dougweismanfosho]

Phish knows how to ReadIcculus.

[bcbowar50]

So pointless. I love Phish.

[Greydjinn]

I finally got my first show after being a big phan for a long time. I don't know how they were back in the day, but I will tell you this....After last Friday in Cincy I have officially had my world rocked. Great set list, cohesive jams and flawless execution. There will always be "the good old days" and i wish i could say ive seen them 50 times, but they are definitely on point right now and Phucking up the soundwaves. I love it. Old phans shouldn't hate on whats current, people change...

[acdcbag69]

poor fishy....no new toy for him to play with. :[

[ATLgroove88]

3:29 FTW

[Chipezilla]

I thought that encore sucked balls for the end of the tour. Who cares about the keytar and 5-armed guitar?? he only played the top arm anyway...

whatever. Toyota park also sucked. Then they go and bust out awesome shiite in each of the next  4 shows after Toyota Park...that's nice. They haven't handed down anything good in the Chicago area since Alpine 99 IMO...

east coast prevails again...oh well.

[phildd0t]

I think you're expecting them to play golden fucking rain every time they go on stage, and you sir are just delusional.

Did they play note for note, on fire, show in and show out from 87-01? Fuck no they didn't. And fan, new, former, or some fuck that wants to claim they were at the ROTC dance that Phish first played at; get the fuck over yourselves if you're expecting them to REINVENT THE FUCKING WHEEL.

[phildd0t]

FFS I am so tired of seeing and hearing whiney ass people like this. "Omg Phish came back and they didn't reinvent music, they should keep the joy of their music from everyone because they weren't perfect the first 4 months they played live again."

[BruceWillisInDieHard]

finally a sensible person. everybody is kissing their asses just because they are back but in reality they have sucked for years and years. they should have never re-united in the first place. bands never know when to call it quits. as long as there are herds of moronic phish fans gobbling up whatever they are force-fed then this awful, boring display will continue. and for you phish apologists who think they are doing it for "the love of music" please explain the exorbitant ticket prices.

[suppresionpwnage]

Dear Bruce,

Please pull that stick out of your ass.

You old fuckstick. please just go die so the rest of the world doesnt have to put up with your negativity. im sorry you feel that way about phish, because in all honesty they are GREATER then ever.

[Noodlebass]

Yes indeed, I've seen around 60 shows and they are indeed BETTER THAN EVER!

[2manymuthauckas]

absolutely i have been going since 96 and the boys have never been better i 100 percent agree

[phildd0t]

However, it is clear that the management does NOT give a flying fuck about how or why the tickets are being undercut to ticket brokers, keeping real fans out for legit prices.

And it doesn't look like they're ever going to give a fuck about it either. It's a shame, but it sure doesn't give you the right to be a dick to fellow fans of the music, be angry at the douchebag management team that can't keep tickets from being pre-sold to brokers before the request period even starts.

[Noodlebass]

I can never figure out why people take the time to look up a Phish or Grateful Dead video just to talk shit. Find something you do like so you don't have to ruin your own day and ours just to talk shit about my favorite bands.

[BruceWillisInDieHard]

dear phish, please stop.

[phildd0t]

Dear moron, please learn where criticism is applicable; for things that you enjoy and aren't biased against.

No one forced you to this fucking link, or to listen to phish, or start typing and posting your off-base comments.

No one gives a fuck if you don't like Phish on youtube, when they're watching a fucking PHISH video.

Dear BruceWillis fanboi. Fuck off.

[BruceWillisInDieHard]

dear young pretentious confused phish fan,

i've been listening to phish since you were sucking on your mother's dick. Your precious PHISH is a disgrace. The break up/re-unite/break up/re-unite act got old a long time ago They are washed up and trying to cash in. Please put down the drugs, pull your dreadie-head out of your filthy hippie ass and deal with it.

These men are shadows of their former selves Musically and otherwise. Someday you will realize what a sad charade this band has become.

[phildd0t]

Yeah except for the fact that Page is on fire, Mike is grooving harder than ever, and they're back to having fun (E.G. 8/14/09).

Will they be the band they were in 92? No. they're not playing small clubs making shit for money. Will they be the band they were before the first break? Who cares.

Who's the more pretentious fan, the one who enjoys the music (except for 2003/most of 04, I'm not big on Trey being on heroin all the time, his playing sucked), and continues to enjoy the progression..

[phildd0t]

or the one who goes around on their high horse telling everyone else how much of a fool they are for enjoying the same band that they clearly still enjoy (or else they wouldn't be around anything to do with the band...), because of x, y, z; whatever bullshit you think you can come up with.

All of you guys that act like because you've seen x many more shows, or saw them in the early years have any more right to any band's music are fucked in the head.

[Noodlebass]

Man, I hated the hiatus-reunitus pattern myself, thought it was bullshit, and all the post-hiatus shows (except IT) were shit, but they're playing like I've never heard 'em before. Plus, who the fuck cares if they're not the same band they used to be? I'd be fucking bored if they were playing the same shit they were playing in '94 when I discovered the boys. Please, just find something you wanna praise and spend your time there, instead of bringing us all down.

[Gr8estStory]

Yeah. These guys are good.

[DeadicatedPhan96]

your video is better than the one I have. Thanks for sharing

[Drivenut4]

mike got that bass for his birthday! in between the jones beach shows

[solitarysoul92]

AWESOME!

[cpyite]

Ha ha Jill "rock out with ur cock out" 2:29

[acidmorrison420]

haha this is obviously a joke look at Page's bass a fireball and the five neck guitar and the key board very funny haha

[phish2008]

PAGE DOES NOT PLAY THE BASS

[acidmorrison420]

honest misstake

[phildd0t]

Actually on some bluegrass renditions and on Walfredo, he does.

[phish2008]

[phildd0t]

I know man ;) just givin ya shit.

[phish2008]

oh ok my bad....got ya!

[earlbutters]

kick ass footage!!

[davidgunnells]

what kind of camera did you use? a flip HD?

[phatrhombus]

I could not stop laughing at that five neck guitar. still can't. A+.

[clundquist46]

Great weekend and the second night was just amazing. Can't wait for the fall tour!!

[123tela]

i have been looking for my brain for 3 days....now i remember where i lost it.....this was amazing...classic.  i feel sorry for the suckers who just want to get out early. great time at alpine. thank you to trey and crew for the great weekend.

[rambleon95]

awesome!

[arod42688]

yeah, you are super lame...you're definitely "that guy" who wore the phish shirt you recently bought off dry goods to the show

[Daggy007]

WTF?

I left before the encore and It was totally worth it.

I got out in under 5 mins and I still get to watch the "encore" on You Tube!

Key-tar sucks anyway...

[shatstack]

wow... super lame. I left way after the encore, and got out in 30 seconds.  you totally missed out.

[phish2008]

Dude you sound like my dad leaving a Braves game in the bottom of the ninth to get "a jump on traffic"......I'm amazed you shared that......

[Masada253]

HOW CAN YOU LEAVE and then tell someone??? I could not say, "Hey guys, lets leave before the encore and beat the traffic."

[glowstickcampfire]

This is why you NEVER LEAVE before encore to avoid traffic! EVER!

[glowstickcampfire]

i loved the show! i rocked so hard, i think i danced for 2 hours after the show ended, and strait through the set break! this was amazing, i was sad to see it end. way to go out tho!!!!

[glowstickcampfire]

i loved the show! i rocked so hard, i think i danced for 2 hours after the show ended, and strait through the set break! this was amazing, i was sad to see it end. way to go out tho!!!!

WHO LEAVES FOR AN ENCORE TO AVOID TRAFFIC ! WTF!

[mcgo0097]

It was awesome to see the boys pull out some crazy instruments and play two sick Alpine shows!

[bellbott0m]

LOL....that was awsome!!

[Freepeat]

That guitar is absurd. The bottom two necks are pretty much unreachable. Worth it for the laughs, though, I suppose.

[TheUnknownTribe]

I was thinking the same thing. I can understand double neck, but even a triple neck is mostly a "showcase" instrument. 5 necks is just over the top for the sake of being over the top.

Although it does make for a great visual with the Keytar and the Inferno bass, and he did rock the thing.

[kc7fys]

Most likely Rick Nielsen's Hamer from "Surrender." He plays it every encore.

[HELLADJ]

did anyone see mike almost get hit by one of those big green glowsticks in the second set haha

[gr8mcmatt]

no, but somebody nailed the drum set before the encore... that show was an amazing experience!

[bucknut46]

lol...that's so funny. i love the keytar, and trey's monster guitar was outta nowhere. that's crazy!
