I doubt there are many bands out there with a track record like Phish, that when they bow out are so emotional, there's an amazing amount of Love there. I didn't know they were going to play at the Gorge in August, until it was sold out. Long Live Phish ! Glad there back WOO HOO !
I was at Coventry, and it was a bad show. Not because of the weather, but because they all were crying so much they couldn't concentrate on the music. It was the worst Phish show I'd ever seen. Hands down. I love the band, and have seen them numerous times, but for any phan that was curious as to the quality of the show, it sucked ! Sorry but it IS true. I bet even the band would admit it. Don't get me wrong, they're by far my all time favorite band, and I own everything of theirs. c-ya on tour.
You're probably right dude. Luckily as far as we know now Trey has turned a new leaf. I've seen them 7 times so far this year, and we've debated Cinci, or their Miami New Years shows coming up. All I can say is that Festival 8 was the shit, and so was Asheville, and the 2nd night of the Gorge. As long as Trey can hold his shit together, and appreciate sobriety, I think they'll be fine. On the lot now they're sellin keep Trey sober stickers. LOL. It's funny, but I AGREE 100% For the love of Phish
@irontonremy yea I saw them over Halloween and he's definitely cleaned up. However they are now like robots, aside from the Exile set I didn't feel much energy from them
I agree. Most all the songs were very cut, and dry. Like "this is the song, and it officially goes like this." "Here's how the solo is supposed to go, etc.... " There wasn't a lot of exploration on their part. BUT I did feel them start trying to delve into things, and I think Trey couldn't find where Page was going. I saw them looking at each other, and Trey was a little lost. I think they still need more time to get their shit thoroughly together. I loved the Exile set tho. I candy flipped.
Agreed, thats almost exactly what I said to my brother on the way home from the shows. "Ok here is the part of the jam where we go into this part, and here's where we end the jam." no natural build up. Perhaps I'm getting older but it didn't have the same magic as back in the day. Glad I wasn't the only one who saw it like that
Phish made the world a better place. i have never seen such sincerity from a band, everything they ever played/did was out of a genuine love for thier music and Phans.
I was at Coventry...never seen grown men cry like this nite! its was a bad show b/c of the weather but when it got dark and Trey gave his speech and then this.........WOW~! not gonna lie, i shed a tear or two
my friends were front row on shr00ms, they said everyone was absolutely balling around them, they said it was insane, hahaha i was about 20 rows back and it was reallllllly intense, really intense, wow
Maybe we'll all have the oppportunity to see Phish again or for the first time. Lets pray the rumors are true. I love this band and if I ever get to see them again I will definitely bask in the moment. Forever Phish! Peace and love to all who hear this great music!
I hate hate HATE that I only just recently got into Phish, that I'll probably never get the chance to see these guys doing what they do best on the same stage.
The band and especially Trey are just so touching here, you can't help but cry with them because while we lose an outstanding band, they lose a really close and supportive friendship.
I think this project is nicely done and extremely touching. I was lucky enough to be at this festival, and it was not so much about the music as it was about the emotion and learning. I LOVE listening to Trey and Page cry because you realize just how much of their personal energy they put into their band for 20 years. Everyone is talking about reunion this and reunion that. I think this band was SO special that they had to end it right where they did.
it makes me cry every time but they will be back. it may be a couple years. its not like they broke up because someone overdosed or they became enemy's like most bands. they just stopped it before it got to big. you can only get so big before you collapse. i was watching an interview with trey and he said if they get back together they may call them selves page (with a PH) the greatest phish coverband but they are still best friends and are destined to play together again.
Dude, this is not about what version of this song is best. This was the last time Phish performed, and shows the emotion and depth of this song for Page and the rest of the band.
dude this is thier last show together the point is that its very emotional,if you think it's not the "best" version because page had trouble singing through tears than fine but some people like seeing all the emotion behind this song
I wasn't there but I went to a somewhat local movie theater both days and watched the sets there. I just got chills watching this. Thanks for putting it together.
wow...man that's really rough. This wasn't their finest moment musically, but how human is that to say goodbye to hundreds of thousands of fans after all that time... this brought my to tears then, and still now. I'm sorry your opinion is so harsh --
Wow. Wading from Coventry always gets me. The raw emotion, the love the guys have for the music, for each other and for the phans. It is truly amazing how 4 guys can transform words and music into a living, breathing thing. I can truly smell the colors outside on my lawn. Reunion or no reunion, Phish lives. Trey, Mike, Page, Fishman...Thanks.
something was lost that day...they contributed to us feeling together and being a part of one another. Sounds silly, but it's true. Watch Page mourn and mourn with him...JayZ and Britey Spears didn't bring us together like this, but hey...at least they're making some fu&^er alot of money.
thanks.... I haven't listened to any of the coventry stuff or watched any videos from it since being there that night... And I did that for a reason, but I stumbled across this tonight on youtube here and just fuckin started crying my eyes out... Thank you for putting that together. It brings back a lot of very serious emotions for me
everyone badmouths coventry, all the time, and i dont like listening to it either, but phish was going through the most emotional period in their history, they couldnt even sing wading right, i'd like to see anyone here play better when a 20 year chapter of their life is closing. they did the best they could and thats all i would ever ask
Trey is soo obviously on opiates during this show. His voice is all scratchy and soft which is a sure sign. It's sad that they were soo engulfed with that emotion which obviously was weighing on them, but then were plastered at the same time.
you douchebag! You have no idea what trey was going through! It dosn't matter if he was on drugs or not, he was singing these songs for the last time. Each of these songs was another step closer to the end of a 21 period of nirvana. So if you wanna talk shit about phish during coventry, then fuck off.
i was supporting trey you fucking idiot! you agreed with all of my points then told me to fuck off. coventry was a bad show in my opinion, but they gave it their all. but you obviously didnt take time to read or comprehend my post. go do some more nitrous you brainless frat fuckhead
After hearing extensive collections of bootlegs and going to a few shows when I was VERY young, Coventry was the worst performance ever. The music and playing sucked, but I mean it was still amazing and emotional, but not up to par with what Phish I've seen/heard.
Apart from the music, the Phish community made those days the most memorable for each other. Never had such an amazing party from town to town, across America, warm friendship,travelling from show to show.Best music and vibrations in the world. SPure delight on so many faces. It was like deep faith. Goes against the laws of nature to think that they will never play again together. Stay in shape for getting down to a Bowie funk once again and feel safe again when I know i'm a Glide.
thanks for posting. beautiful. brought tears to my eyes...saw it at the movies, not live but i will never forget the moment when page broke down. sigh. i miss phish.
all you phish fans/bashers can suck on it. It was an amazing show. I travled by car from chicago to see that. sloppiest show Ive ever seen, yet it was one of the most emotional and best shows I have seen.
Why the hell would anyone compare phish to the dead? They are TOTALLY different aside from their fan base.
Coventry made my month, and i didnt care that I had to hike to the show and that it was muddy.......lol
yeah, i'm only 18. This was the first live performance I saw by phish, unfortunatly I only got to see it in a movie theatre via simulcast and it was only the first night. Ever since I have just loved the band and just wish I had gotten to see more of them.
nicely done. i'm in tears. best band in the world. i would've walked 100 MORE miles to be there to see those guys off.... here's hoping for a reunion of some sort, or getting back together again. don't think that second thing is happening though.
Almost impossible ta' finish the video... but a memory never forgotten.... nice remix... and glide ending... Out of the 30 sumthin' shows I've seen from 96-04, at least 30 of them were in the top 50 best times of my life!!!! Checkout Umphrey's McGee.. similar vibe.....!!! Pharewell!
I'm 23 too. Just missed out on the Grateful Dead. I almost went to Soldier Field with my dad and uncle but didn't. Coventry was a bittersweet time. I would definately do it all over again if I could. Thanks for posting.
sadly im only now 17 thus to young to ever seen Phish but i love them and this is my favorite song by them and seeing this, hearing this, reading what some of you who were there had to say has literally made me start crying such a great community.
I know how ya feel kid, Im 23...just barely too young to have seen the Grateful Dead. I was in Conventry, and even though this video can't capture the true emotions of this night, It does it great justice.
Thanks so much for the project. My head is still tingling with emotion. I'm so happy we have this venue to keep experiencing the greatest group of all time.
I just cried for the first time in years. I love Phish. I think and hope they will be back in a few years. Until that happens Umphrey's McGee will do the trick for sure
I was there. It didn't matter that they weren't perfect. It didn't matter that I basically broke my foot hiking in for 10 miles. What mattered were the people that helped get me there. I met a group of people that saved me that weekend. They never left me. They gave me a shoulder grab to help me walk to the shows. I never saw or heard from them again. That weekend exemplified the phriendship and unity that made up the Phish experience.
This literally made me cry. I miss phish, I miss jumping into a car with 5 of my friends and driving for days to go one of the greatest bands, I miss all the random acts of kindness that that I witnessed around phish. All i can do is hope that I will see them again together. Thanks for the ya mar in Coventry, Thanks for everything... Peace & Love
an amazing job on the video, such a great performance by phish. i missed phish completely but trey says he doesnt rule out reuniting so i have my fingers crossed until then
Another passes without Phish... I'm 39 now and still get caught up with emotion reflecting on the best twelve years of my life when I got see them play. I miss it all soooo much!
I thought that this was a very moving and powerful slideshow. Granted I've heard the speeches to many times, you timed them perfectly with the photos. I just wish they were clearer, but thanks for posting this!
PHISH was my life from 1993 to 2000! For the longest time I had to listen to Antelop at least once a day! So many great memories from the greatest band EVER!! I miss the whole buildup of going to a show, securing some nugs and other things, getting in, guessing first set opener and experiencing the ride of my life with phriends and TREY, PAGE, MIKE and Fishman! Time passes but memories never fade!
...also, I just had to add...seeing the images of the glowsticks flying through their air - I'll never ever forget what it felt like to be in the middle of that (like at Oswego, or the millenium down in Florida), looking up at all the color and lights flying around, while the music enveloped the whole scene and infused it with that happy Phish energy....just amazing. A simply wonderful moment in time.
omg i am WEEPING and laughing and having 80 million emotions at once. My goodness to I love this f*cking band. This was life for so many of us. It was our youth. It was our community. It was our tour. It was our music. And of course, they will live on forever through their music.
maybe its just me but, u r cold blooded and heartless if u were'nt in tears by the 1:34 mark!!! music is emotion and if u cant feel that then u r not a true "phan"!!! the "boys" need each other like lizards need to lounge!!!
I miss them but I understand it. I waited >24hours for coventry and was 1/4mile out when they announced no more people. I traveled over 14k miles that summer and just didn't have it in me to walk in and live off of almost nothing with no job and uncertainty about my vehicle. So very conflicted over coventry.
Anyone who saw this would now why pagesidehugh had goosebumps. I had them while watching this again. Anyone who was fortunate enough to witness this great moment in music history, the absolute raw emotion these 4 men showed us onstage would know why there was not a dry eye around
*I've never

and he's still stuck in that mud!!!
They lost their balls that day... you can hear it their voices.

I know how ya feel kid, Im 23...just barely too young to have seen the Grateful Dead. I was in Conventry, and even though this video can't capture the true emotions of this night, It does it great justice.

Goddam... this gives me chills. I also broke out in tears when Page started crying during 'Velvet Sea'.
Guys... I HATE you for breaking up, but simultaneously give you ultimate respect for ending it in that manner you did.
I guess we all wish we were younger. G'bless.

Thanks so much for the project. My head is still tingling with emotion. I'm so happy we have this venue to keep experiencing the greatest group of all time.

I just cried for the first time in years. I love Phish. I think and hope they will be back in a few years. Until that happens Umphrey's McGee will do the trick for sure

I was there. It didn't matter that they weren't perfect. It didn't matter that I basically broke my foot hiking in for 10 miles. What mattered were the people that helped get me there. I met a group of people that saved me that weekend. They never left me. They gave me a shoulder grab to help me walk to the shows. I never saw or heard from them again. That weekend exemplified the phriendship and unity that made up the Phish experience.

This literally made me cry. I miss phish, I miss jumping into a car with 5 of my friends and driving for days to go one of the greatest bands, I miss all the random acts of kindness that that I witnessed around phish. All i can do is hope that I will see them again together. Thanks for the ya mar in Coventry, Thanks for everything... Peace & Love

I thought that this was a very moving and powerful slideshow. Granted I've heard the speeches to many times, you timed them perfectly with the photos. I just wish they were clearer, but thanks for posting this!

PHISH was my life from 1993 to 2000! For the longest time I had to listen to Antelop at least once a day! So many great memories from the greatest band EVER!! I miss the whole buildup of going to a show, securing some nugs and other things, getting in, guessing first set opener and experiencing the ride of my life with phriends and TREY, PAGE, MIKE and Fishman! Time passes but memories never fade!

...also, I just had to add...seeing the images of the glowsticks flying through their air - I'll never ever forget what it felt like to be in the middle of that (like at Oswego, or the millenium down in Florida), looking up at all the color and lights flying around, while the music enveloped the whole scene and infused it with that happy Phish energy....just amazing. A simply wonderful moment in time.

omg i am WEEPING and laughing and having 80 million emotions at once. My goodness to I love this f*cking band. This was life for so many of us. It was our youth. It was our community. It was our tour. It was our music. And of course, they will live on forever through their music.

maybe its just me but, u r cold blooded and heartless if u were'nt in tears by the 1:34 mark!!! music is emotion and if u cant feel that then u r not a true "phan"!!! the "boys" need each other like lizards need to lounge!!!

I love Phish, but I feel really embarressed for the boys. Not the best way to end. Or maybe it's not over. Next time hopefully no blubbering.

I miss them but I understand it. I waited >24hours for coventry and was 1/4mile out when they announced no more people. I traveled over 14k miles that summer and just didn't have it in me to walk in and live off of almost nothing with no job and uncertainty about my vehicle. So very conflicted over coventry.

I felt that emotion that day and there was not a dry eye the jam in Split Open and Melt was raw, pure, dangerous

Anyone who saw this would now why pagesidehugh had goosebumps. I had them while watching this again. Anyone who was fortunate enough to witness this great moment in music history, the absolute raw emotion these 4 men showed us onstage would know why there was not a dry eye around
