Phish: Possum 4/29/90

[Steezeandmac]

if you squint your eyes its almost like its high quality!

[doodguy78]

@Steezeandmac I remember trying to study treys left hand chord patterns from this vhs on yamar... think we got it right but its so hard to tell, although the vhs was somewhat clearer, not by much though

[jazzgoose]

Haha Trey Vs Trucks!  I want duel to the death!

[jtdiver]

Love the old school version, at of all places a little ski/sled hill down the road from me here near Hartford. Phish has always played great in CT and check out my vid of Possum from the about 40 miles northeast 20 years later.

[SativaBeliver]

yea but at the same time skynard stole this groove from some unrecognized black blues artist

[benslooking4junk]

I gotta, buy me a new North Face fleece!

[weswsp01]

Chuck Norris is awesome..... I wish he still played

[tjmacelhaney]

I think this may beat albany '04 w/ holdsworth? but, THAT WAS SICK

[boundtogetdown]

i think trey is inspired by jazz

[TwoEyeCyclops]

THIS GROOVE IS SOOOO CRUNCHY!!!!!

[guitarskater11]

is this on any studio album? if not what album is it on?

[Meddle1969]

You can get it in many forms on Itunes. It's on a few DVDs like Live In Brooklyn. There's a great version of it on the Clifford Ball DVD. Such an awesome tune to hear live. It's always on my wish list.

[lilcha85]

@guitarskater11 nope, phish has at least 50 non album track that are in the regular live set lists.

[cavemandan]

i miss phish at this point in their career. Notice how cool the crowd is???? Too bad dirty shady wookies ruined phish's scene.

[snowman11686]

possum..... possum...... posssuummm

hell yeha good jams

there are only a handful of bands that can get almost every one in the audience to dance and have a good time like phish can

[Ericogrande3]

[kcor]

[wharfrat89]

[phreak89]

all of our wishes have phinially come true!!!

[phishdawg]

this song rocks but have ever wondered how it sounds exactly like the skynard song swamp music

[sometimehuh]

yeA I LAUGHED my ass off when i made that connection. was listening to the radio and me not being too familiar with skynard freaked out when that song came on. so far i've got that phish stole possum, the jam from mikes song from ted nugent strangehold and down with disease - hendrix purple haze, im sure there are way more but its a start

[shonebargerbj]

What were people on in 1990 and why aren't people on it in 2007?

[KYEONGTI]

The WALL had just recently come down?

That or lots of extacy?

[doodguy78]

@shonebargerbj not oxy

[ScooterandSparky]

Thank You for posting, I had seen a show in upstate NY around the same time... So great to remember the pre-Dead-Head infiltration Phish!!

[herb727]

Wish I was there. I was 12 years old.

[tasingle]

Anyone remember when Phish did this song w/ guest Derek Trucks on slide guitar...CLASSIC! My favorite band and my favorite guitarist together...although contrasting in styles it sounded great when they came together. I think Derek Trucks has one of the most distinctive and unique styles out there.

[princeofdankness]

Dude I remember that ... Derek whoooped Trey's ass all over the stage and he was only like 21 at the time...he's the man...best guitarist since Jerbear passed....I don't want any thumbs down since I like trey too

[rrtierney]

@princeofdankness Derek Trucks is amazing, but guess what. He's a one dimensional player. Sorry to say it, but he is not as multidimensional of a player as Trey. sure he can slide the guitar faster than trey ever could move his fingers, but that is far from everything young padawan. he may own the blues but could he ever make a song like foam? could he ever have made run like an antelope? no, never

[Hunsanity]

@rrtierney i fully agree. no knock on trucks he is a beast in his own right.. but trey is on a completely different level.. and its not any other guitarists fault that trey is on a way more advanced and stylistic level then they are. bottom line, trey name should be next jimi and the other greats .. not d trucks..

[goldenchopsticks]

@rrtierney Wtf...I have been a steadfast Phish fan for the last 2 months, but that was just retarded. That's like saying "could trey ever have helped write desdemona?" And a one dimensional player??? Have you even heard Trucks play???
