Phish - Oh Kee Pa / AC/DC Bag

[MrDtalbot]

Hey I filmed this.....there are better copies.

[jnormal1]

I was there . . . 10 rows back center . . . it was the first show me.v GOOD SHIT!!!

[mdbruce1]

I was at this show, too, 3 rows back in front of Trey. Still my favorite place to see them (probably a half dozen times 90-92). I'm amazed by how SMALL their setup is!

[HELLADJ]

tight!!

[longfinger]

I was at this show! Every time they played here i went! It was the best place to see the guys!

[matthewshelvey]

did you get metal bagel death on video?!

[JimoneOnTheThrone]

I don't know how to say this but........this makes me wet

[VuelaBand]

this has surprisingly good audio compared to the video.

[drgarretfritts]

I think their AC DC Bag from this era was much hotter than the way they play it now. I started seeing them in 91 so I know the differences from then to now. This was always one of my favorites and they don't quite tear it up like they did then on this one.

[doopesmalone]

love seeing old skool phish!! they really had something special even back then!

[doopesmalone]

and the Bag is super fast!!

[MycoLogic1]

I bribed the doorman $10 to see this set my first show. Slow and sloppy? More like intentional. Not the craziest night here, but the interplay at 5:30 and on reminds us how much Fun they used to have onstage. Other highlights include Trey staggering and de-tuning his E string for Bathtub Gin, the stop-on-a-dime strobelight jam during Bowie, Jon using a shop-vac and peforming a hands-free solo, Mike playing BFFCFM on his knees; all part of the sponteneity that faded as they grew.

[beefsteakman]

wowwow not bad for a few dudes who would in less than five years sell out MSG on New Years Eve.

[reevolution137]

obviously you have no idea what you are talking about. His playing was every bit as pronounced then as it is now, if not at this particular show.

Back then their music was highly challenging, it takes a pro to be able to play much of it. The stuff they write now an amateur could learn.

[dillon1278]

@reevolution137 lmao, not quite, go look at just the strumming chords and patterns for the songs of the Joy album, and compare them to anything from earlier. Theyre alot more complex.

That said, its all awesome.

[reevolution137]

@dillon1278, I knew the whole album on guitar by the second listen. The only challenging one was light.

TTE is just a bunch of riffs put into one song, nothing far out and the rest of the album is standard stuff.

[dillon1278]

@reevolution137 Maybe its just personal differences? I had a much easier time learning the classics like Coil and AC/DC

[ronbobathon]

@dillon1278 I'm sorry but your argument is invalid. Not that you might have more trouble with certain pieces, but no serious Phish fan would agree with you.

[funkymanswizzle]

can't even fathem catching a show around this time.

[sambrandt3]

so ill'n, my first show was 3 years later, wish i could go back in time though... i miss the 90's

[wilsonshood]

ahhh lil bonaza tease there !!! soooo awesome

[75starsuck]

wow the Bag jam was GREAT! the experimentation of the early version is chilling!

[wrombola]

The lack of views for this video is indicative of the ignorance of the average modern phish fan. You do have no clue

[wrombola]

Fishman use to play so tight back then

[vashuy]

Damn their good.

Summer tour?

[bluesguitarguy]

Oh yes..

[rock4light]

My first show was here can't wait for Hampton 09 can't believe there are no hotels and they just annc today! Hope the country horns show UP!

[phish1988]

OMg this is so cool. dude ur the man for having this on show on tape.

[ErrandWolfe91]

probably the best Bag ever.

[kerbo43]

one of my favorite old tapes thanks for the visuals

[Khomradeigor]

unthight Oh kee pa but the rest is fine

[chornbeck]

I worked at every single Phish show at the Colonial. The best show was with The Giant Country Horns, omg that show was the bomb.

[Spicoli898]

def my favorite live phish, u have good taste my friend

[stildew]

i think i made all the Colonial shows.. including their last there when they let us out for a "smoke break" and twice the crowd came back in.. i think phish is the reason they renovated the theatre!

[SamuelAging]

I went to all the Colonial shows as well. Seeing Phish back then was really intense......and they always seemed to throw down at these little theater shows. The jams weren't as 'deep' as they'd get in later years, but the band was HUNGRY.

Simply awesome.

[ani10881]

when i first got into phish i listened to a lot of early stuff, but now i cant get into it anymore. i guess its more of a historical curiousity to me.i need the more-experimental free improv of the late nineties. it is cool to see people gettin down hard this early in their career, however.

[rrescozoo5]

I was in my dads nuts during this

man did i miss out

[tincharmer]

I was at this show on shrooms

[pnmcrew]

god --I miss those days :(

great post!!

[theorphan23]

"If I were near you, I wouldn't be far from you." Oh, if only it was 1991 again. Thanks, great stuff.

[StewPhillips]

do you have the weekapaug groove from this show! its by far my fav version!

[pnmcrew]

Hey--please forward along if you find it---also Wilson from same (if I'm not mistaken)--killer!
