Phish: Julius

[barstoolschalkdust]

ha, it's like Trey starts out his solo normal, but then at 3:11 remembers he is on tv and has a time limit. good stuff though.

[Finstahy]

Do I spy Blue Lou Marini from Blues Brothers on the Tenor Sax?

[blastingcaps]

@Finstahy I just wondered that as well.

[ktpinnacle]

Used to be that real music like this was everywhere, it was a daily soundtrack. You didn't need to plug it in your ears to hear it.

[deBebbler]

NOBODY in that room wanted to be anywhere but there.

Badass Mutha 4000!

[Ticklesyurbum]

I wish they had done Mound on tv, its short enough...sounds catchy at first glance and its classic phish weirdness and musical virtuosity

[redhouseovayonda]

trey sounds like the same playin out that little vox. goes to show so much of your tone comes from your fingers

[Zellps0]

Phuck Yeah!

[unknownkingdom]

Did Trey arrange the horns?

[DANACABANA]

the first Phish song i ever heard and still one of my all time favorites

[christovercame]

fun song. i heard this was the encore from Hollywood Bowl Summer '11..

[Icarus19911991]

It's kind of crazy this is so old that "A Live One" was their new CD. Still as good as ever, now and then.

[nventi]

Blue Lou on Tenor!!!

[0badnem0]

scoobie snax at 00:45

[rebeccaw770]

when fishman was still a wook loveit!!

[kochs1000]

ok kiddies get ready for the custival

[bvyborny]

HOLY SCHNIKEY!!!!! Isn't that the Dad from Always Sunny on horns? Whats his name? Danny Devito or something????!?!?!?!?

[NWTCtv]

Dave Grippo on horns mmmm mmmmmmm thats a sweet sound.

[thomasoduffy12]

i love the look on trey's face when the riff picks up into the 2nd verse. he just looks like he's grilling the shit out of someone like "lets fucking do this."

shit owns. blonde doc ftw

[Malzarin]

For the old people, that is Blue Lou on sax from 70's SNL band and the Blues Brothers! This is probably the best TV performance by the band and it is fun to see how the other long time pro musicians get into it!

[FluffityAntelope]

mikes tone is awesome here

[ChillyCheezItz]

Gordo @ 3:41-3:43

[MrClevelandJohnny]

That is awesome, cant believe i have never seen before!

[JMAccordino]

only phish can do this

[learntowaterski]

im sure after so many appearances on letterman they grew a good relationship

[ReklawLah]

I bet the band has never had more fun.

[pharcyd00]

@ReklawLah the look on Trey's face at 2:30 says it all

[DanKreiger]

[Rhet0rik]

Love how the house band gets into the jam!

[JackARoe31]

Two words: Read Icculus

[PhoundWaldo]

[norsedan]

[murph2398]

[grover4458]

rage side

[jtizz711]

Phuck! that was phunky!

[nadamean3]

Amazing letterman performance by the boys once more. I love that when they were on to promote "Hoist" they played chalkdust and when they're on to promote "A Live One" they play julius. they do what they want!

[ghostofjackie]

Sincerely,

Trey

[SativaBeliver]

hey dont be afraid of your thoughts no matter how demented bro

[Malzarin]

Damn, is that Blue Lou?!

[Malzarin]

@Malzarin My god, have none of you seen the Blues Brothers!? Or 70's SNL!?

[pcburgh01]

is julius even on a live one?

[jojojigaboo]

this sounds like what would be playing during a frat boy gang bang

so vulgar!

[sneakypower]

Perfect!

[uncensoredpanda1]

[permanentvacation6]

hoist is a great album, and this song is a great way to start a great album. never a dull moment with phish

[spigelwii]

That was ownage

[cicaesp2]

easily best performance on the late show, by any band imo

[BoatsByGeorge]

Agreed!

[DANACABANA]

@cicaesp2 truly ! Phish is god damn awesome...but this is an outright throwdown !

check this: Blues Traveler - Crash Burn (LIVE) , another epic Letterman performance

[cunterkooter]

love the horns!

[humbabwe]

i love the fact that phish walks into that studio and just blows away 99.9% of all the previous musicians who've come before. Dave prolly doesnt realize it but u know the house band does.

[pcburgh01]

there is one visit that Dave introduces them saying - you know the great ones because the play with the house band. Phish just started playing with the house band....I know for a fact that all the musicians in the band are STOKED to have Phish on

[ngoodfri]

@humbabwe

dave does realize it... he's a phan from back in the day. tho his fave song is chalkdust. i'm just sayin.

[mjbab73]

@humbabwe Say what? ..Dave's a phan.

[ShuguProductions]

@humbabwe

Dave does realize it, that's why he has had them back so many times :)

[JMAccordino]

this is one of the great letterman performances

[mjbab73]

Is that "Blue" Lou Marini from the Blues Brothers on sax?

[gianc123]

Hah! I think that is Blue Lou Marini. Great call, dude.

[mjbab73]

Yeah man! Great to see him still kickin'!

[HSTdrums]

Love seeing Grippo in the horn section!

[Gr8estStory]

Most epic late night performance EVER

[DSky2001]

Killer, thanks for posting this.

[phishman706]

nice shirt trey

[pcburgh01]

Paul and company must have loved this!

[Derubis420]

whoever's shushing the fans at :12 probably realized their mistake 4 minutes later

[TheGarfffff]

4 minutes of balls out rock and roll.

[Zellps0]

HOLY PHUCK!

[Greydjinn]

two more words....paul languedoc. Phish fucking rules. I hope Phish plays Jesus' re-entrance music...you know, like Guelah Papyrus! hahahahhahahahah

[Greydjinn]

two words....Orange Julius.

[whatthecello42]

Is the saxophonist in the foreground at 2:20 Blue Lou from the Blues Brothers Band?

[whojim13]

trey using ac30 here?

this must have been before he settled on the deluxe reverb,

personally, i don't think his tone ever sounded better than when he used the boogie mark III with the mids bumped way up, that early 90's tone was so vocal strong and clear, he has yet to do better, imo.

[arz703]

ahahahahahahahah page :45

[ezekieloak]

You don't seem many bands who show up and say, "Oh Great! A full horn section! And a sweet female vocalist, too. We've got just the song for you."

They Might Be Giants did it once.  I havn't seen anyone else, though.

[feednomike]

all i can say is =)

[ezekieloak]

...When your reaching just pushes it further away now...

[pauly7917]

Grippos in their

[TizzyElBizzall]

Besy 4 piece band ever, They can play anything. Challenge them.

[ilovecolinandbrad]

That one saxophonist looks like Einstein.

2:14

[ajmcdavis]

they will return 6.3!

[bigkyle69]

5.31 then 6.2 - stay updayed!

[ajmcdavis]

I meant to Letterman. 6-2/4/5 theyll be at jones beach in NY and word on the street is theyll be spending 6.3 on letterman while in the area

[samadhist]

This gives me chills. One of the better late show performances I've ever seen.

[holeypants74]

Damn - check out Lew Soloff at 2:22.

[justgreen33]

trey's face right after that is priceless

[harpua12]

[GratefulDead4386]

I just love this song now, thanks to this video. Thanks for posting it .

"We have this series of band rules. We came up with another one: We have to play one show when we're in our eighties. That's the new band rule. Of Course, that means we all have to stay alive."
