Phish 1999-09-17 Cold Rain And Snow w/ Phil Lesh

[athphishhead]

these guys are good.

[halfaday1]

so that phish,, yuk,,,, phish,, suck,,,

[gahden420]

so sick

[joebazeghi]

This is so cool with Phil killing it and Mike slappin simultaneously!

[montemike]

man, i love this!

[BMWproductionCo]

all the haters that arent turned on ought to be grateful to people like Phish.... of course they wont be the Grateful Dead, you can only be yourself. thats the problem with human beings, were so caught up in what we dont have or whatever negativity seems to be around, they should be grateful to phish that they are at least doing their part to keep the scene alive. and theyre brilliant players themselves! were all humans! the universal jam is what its all about! even Jerry said so himself!!!!!!!

[jasonracey]

the grass is always always greener on the phil side

[imita01]

My friend on Acid... "Dude... Trey Anastasio.".......10 minutes later... "Dude.... Trey Anastasio."... 5 minutes later... "Dude.... Trey Anastasio." 3 minutes later... "Dude.... Trey Anastatio"... 2 minutes later... "Dude... Trey Anastasio".... 1 minute later... "Dude... Trenastasio..." And after this... he just kept saying... "Trenastasio"... hahahahaha..... Phish'll mindfuck ya... LOL.

[HArryhood421]

[ ] Phil Lesh doesn't look like my grandpa

[x] Phil Lesh does look like my grandpa

[HopNPlop]

Some musicians lack talent or vision yes kids, but in the upper echelons of musical talent, its all aboutpersonal taste, is Jerry better than Trey? Who T/F knows? Let Allah sort it thru, just kick back and enjoy iy all, no sense in trying to sort a list except for "suck vs. cool"

[TomG6000]

again, this is outstanding...can't wait to find out what they say about this in another 1,000 yrs...cause this will still be playn!

[shaddley]

I love how they all know to rest at 7:26. Phish lets us in to their intimate knowledge of the Dead in choice, subtle ways. Between the two bands, America has produced two of the greatest improvisational guitarists EVAR!!!! Both masters...

[TomG6000]

great. great, cover...one of the best...!

[yenrab921]

Phew! Get it boys!!!!

[bradstorrs]

I wonder if Phil Lesh ever goes by the name Phlesh for short....might be suitable since he was in a band with skeletons...Maybe I'll start a metal band called "Rotting Corpse".

[LenLoVe91]

goose bumps.

[wwiley37]

WHAT THE FUCK ARE YALL TALKIN BOUT THIS IS GREAT PERIOD

[edgluhrs]

Good to hear Phil singing... great in fact.

[infraredruby2]

GREAT bands. Let's keep it real.Grateful Dead, poineers, inventors of a genre all their own, a stew of aural America. Born in a time of great social and psychic change. They have Robert Hunter,literary genius with Steinbeckian sensibilities.He created a mythos, a Grateful Dead world, accross hundreds of songs, Jerry Garcia, a once in a thousand years personality and talent, the most innovative bass player, and a drum engine that was unparrelled any where in rock. But Phish is a pretty good band.

[cmsfood]

We are all so lucky to have had the Grateful Dead and still have Phish touring. I wish Phish would quit shunning the West Coast.....once a year is not enough. They all kick ass and make for a hell of a good time. Jerry is well, Jerry and Trey is a hell of a guitar player. Phil is still my favorite bass player but Mike Gordon is an amazing bass player also.

[beastle1]

TREYorJERRY apples&oranges..But I sure do miss Jerry..

[SativaBeliver]

I love the dead but some of its "family" members are sketchy trolls

[SativaBeliver]

vibeguru007 yea but at the same time jerry would fumble through alot of phish songs. I guess depends on how much acid you took

[vibeguru007]

trey fumbles through the beginning of this but eventually he pulls out some soulful licks.

[vibeguru007]

this one dead song blows away every phish tune ever written

[rblodget]

@vibeguru007 this isnt by the dead, its a cover

[HELLADJ]

trey rips

[Soccerski]

I am blown away by this.

Grateful Dead and Phish are two of my favorite bands. When my son's friends ask me which I feel is the better band, I honestly cannot compare. One band brought me joy, the other band brings me joy. That is all that matters.

[Jakedadopemane]

they try to come close to jerry..... FAMILY HIT ME UP

[Jakedadopemane]

they try to come close to jerry.....  FAMILY HIT ME UP

[dbell10]

anybody talking shit doesnt know anything and lacks any sort of credibility

[concretejungle80cruz]

beautiful phrasing from trey as usual. Love how phil and mike can play so nice with each other.

[phattiebace]

disgruntled dead heads are no phun!

"I did a bass duet with Mike Gordon when I sat in with Phish. I generally abhor bass duets, but it was marvelous- it was actually beautiful. ...we just played it by ear. He knows how to get out of my way, and I know how to get out of his. It was like two hippopotami humping!""

-- Phil Lesh, June 2000 Bass Player Magazine"

[passthedoby]

Phamily ♥ 4ever!!!

[Muthaslappa]

Wow what happened?! Cheer up!

[ezekieloak]

Look, everyone! --> Two cacti. 

[brotherbuttcrack]

Phil and trey have identical haircuts. Wait, not really

[brotherbuttcrack]

Phil and trey have identical haircuts

[Karmalize]

aww, phriends <3

[SativaBeliver]

I love this

[mtlaw13]

Phil + Mike = Trey + Fish = SUBLIME

[hornmiller]

Ouch, harsh cut at the end, but really great to see this on youtube! Thank you. I was at this show and as good as it sounded here it sounded 100x better in person!

[ripbarrett72]

gordon and lesh look like father and son jammin together on the stage!!

[Freedomisnorml420]

This video is a gem.

[realdeadhead16]

thank-you.

[rawkus1167]

I love when Phil sings! Phish and Grateful Dead are my 2 favorite bands so this is quite a treat! I would kill someone to be have been able to see this.

[phlpsvll]

dont kill anyone

[jbdfc]

@phlpsvll hahahaha thats what i was thinking

[jenemama1013]

sweetest cameo over! love it!

[benfresh99]

WOW

[shaneomeezy]

Your right Liamsdad33, broken arrow by robbie robertson, a late era dead tune sang by Phil.

[TheGarfffff]

Sick. Anyone who hates on this, just stop it. I'm going whee those chilly winds don't blow.

[shaneomeezy]

Trey should have sang!!! They neave let Phil sing in the Dead, except unbroken and tom thumb!!

[drummer5252]

@shaneomeezy

Your dumb

[liamsdad33]

@shaneomeezy broken arrow

[shaneomeezy]

Correct, a late era dead tune sang by Phil. I stand corrected. I believe robbie robertson wrote that tune.

[brett1234]

wow they kinda butchered this song...im sry but i love both bands but umm..ya

[brett1234]

i wrote that comment in the middle of the song...kinda got ahead of myself there...but the rest was pretty kick ass...good jam!

[mase5701]

Phil could rip apart that bass. His only got better and better as he got older.

[sytby]

I just missed this show. Had to take off to NH for a fall internship. A tour buddy happened to have high quality AUD tapes of the whole run, though. Nice "consolation prize."

[tjkleinschmidt]

i love trey and jerry

so shut the fuck up

don't pick one just love em' both

i bet if jerry lived alittle longer he would have been jammin out there with phil playin some shakedown or some dear mr fantasy or him and trey dueling on a cavern or a possum.

i fuckin love them both

[ezekieloak]

I can hear Trey dueling on a Stella Blue with Jerry. And singing harmonies too, hei!

[jojojigaboo]

@ezekieloak

what" "trey" doing stella blue?

please...go away..stick w fish what the fuck are u talking about?

these phaggots suck!

[ezekieloak]

@jojojigaboo Wow. Um... Really?

Tell me you're kidding. :-)

[jojojigaboo]

Respond to this video...

"dueling"

yeah..i don't think so..why do these phish punks talk about the GD..it's fucking disgusting

u like fish, so just stick to fish!

[Rjc0316]

@jojojigaboo get real

[ezekieloak]

@jojojigaboo I love the Grateful Dead too. And grew up listening to them with my parents. My Finnish wife's name is Stella, that's all. She thinks Stella Blue is a wonderful song and really had to listen to the poetry quite a few times before the imagery worked in her head. I had to explain a lot of American cultural phrases to her. And we love Phish too.

Look. Listen, just leave us alone, ok? If you don't like Phish so much then write your hate mail to Phil Lesh and not to me, cool?

[bullwong75]

@tjkleinschmidt I bet he wouldn't have been.

[paspal34]

@tjkleinschmidt phil is smokin all your all petty sh.t!!!!!!!!

[iwrex]

@tjkleinschmidt

Phish isn't exactly new. They been at it almost as long as the Dead if you think about it. From the late/mid 1960s - the mid 90s and from the Early 1980s-today. Thats nearly 30 years on both accounts

[JavaHeadStone]

all you cats should just take this for what it actually is. no player is going to sound like another- just accept the jam for being cool in its own way! nuff said

[0ri0ninh3ll]

Indeed. Just enjoy the music people .If you just wanna be a dick , go to a bar and I bet someone will help you out (knock some sense into you) .

[kevinrocks1]

dude it's okay if you cant handle other people talking about your fav band in a bad way.

read the comment.

im saying the performance is uninspired.

the band,phish is one of the best jambands i have ever seen....i like the band that started the genre a little better....yes ive seen the grateful dead when they just couldnt get their shit together or they were just phoning it in,but ive seen them when they were just other-worldly also..listen to jerry some and get back to me.....hahahahaja

[kevinrocks1]

sounds good but you get a sense that theyre just walking in their sleep....phoning it in......trey's a good player,but he's too slick....sterile...jerry's charm was in the occasional muffed,buzzed note here and there.

[Trey4Fun]

Sucks that we can't hear it for real. Umm, kevinrocks, no way to rate anything based on the poor quality, so you should Give it up,

Give up and shut up.

[undermislengteng]

kevin rocks you are totally on point . i went to roughly 200 phish shows , including this one (front row , take that haters). after '97 every phish show was a phone in. it became their job and all the spark was gone. i remember standing at shows and being like " people think this is good??????" they were just pissing in people's ears , but they (the fans ) were so blinded by hero worship they lost all reletivity. if everyone says its great , its great right??? wrong.

[skinny326614]

luckily they are not phoning anything in anymore, not like I believe that comment to begin with but the new tour is proving this band loves what they do and take it too seriously to just go through the motions.

[Ducatiboy73]

@puffnstuff0210

cept for the knock you out part...???

98/99 were incredible.

9/9/99 in Vancouver B.C. =)

[caseyjones67]

how come live they add the first verse in but on the record they dont

[moephishron]

Trey is really good but his guitar playing just really makes me want to go listen to Jerry...RIP

[drewskitube]

i'm a huge phish fan, but jerry was indeed the man. just compare this to holloween 1890 @ radio city. J slaughters em slowly. this version feels like a dissolvin g ambien

[zp4eva]

they played in the year 1890? i didnt know lol funny typo

[evaniskind]

this video is Heady. pure raw heady oil.

[mastuhhs1091]

thats so cool phish and phil played together.....woulda loved to see that!

[teehoyles]

phil belted out some wolfmans brother with them too

[SoundGardenX]

Phil's got such a cool voice, he does this melody really well.

[teehoyles]

this was my first phish show, thanks for posting

[StableMabel]

What with the bushy hair and jiggly quality of the vid (but many thanks for posting it), I thought Phil was Mike for a split second! Once I saw the glasses though, I came to my senses. Excellent song, excellent execution, but never the same w/o Jerry :( RIP

[bronchosnare1]

wow what an amazing sound. does any body have this show mp3 i would give a lot for it.

[denverboyd]

cool, thanks for posting this!

[GA985]

PHI(l Le)SH!

[Phishphantom]

Trey rocks out at the 4:20 mark!!!

Why did Phil have to sing this?Let Trey take the vocals!!!

[sytby]

+1 on that. While Phil doesn't sound nearly as bad on this as he has on many other occasions, I believe Trey would have done much better.

I mean no disrespect to Phil, it's just that vocals are not his strong suit.

[giveitupgood]

poor quality looks like it been dub from vhs

[sytby]

This is at Shoreline, which has giant screens on which a video feed from cameras at various points around the venue is projected from booths about halfway up the slope of the lawn seating area. It looks to me as is someone pointed a video camera at one to those screens.

[sneakonproductionz]

I would have freaked out had I been there

[wharfrat89]

One of the great Dead songs

[PointPlayer]

wish the whole damn song was there, it cuts right before the best part

[rosario508]

Could the quality be any shittier?!?!

[tonypmuzic]

good audio, great version of this. love Trey's lead. sux that camera dude(tte) couldn't focus on Trey during the lead.

one of my favorite Dead tunes.

[justingarman]

Geez, im just happy this exist at all. Can't please everyone I guess. Thanks for this.

[rosario508]

Your right. It is an amazing performance. I was just very surprised at the poor picture quality and less-than-stellar audio.

[justingarman]

Yea I wasnt trying to be a jerk no hard feelings, peace.

[GratefulDead4386]

Does/has Phish done any Dead covers ? I have never heard one.

[gratefulpanic5th]

yea they have. i have a kick ass version of them doing terrapin station and shakedown street. not the dead but still good

[GratefulDead4386]

Would love to hear them.

[cnyeas]

To hear them, google search "wikipaug," search the song name, find out what shows it was played at, go to phishows and search for that date. I know from experience that phishows has some early Phish performances of the Dead.

[allforyouz]

When did they play Shakedown?

[Displaysac90]

Phish started playing in bars in the eighties playing dead tunes... but then made a conscience effort not to go to dead shows or play dead music so they can concentrate on their own stuff. Phish has plenty of respect for the Grateful Dead though..

[sneakonproductionz]

yes they used to when they were very young. They played a raging terrapin station in VA on the anniversary of jerry's death or his b-day it escapes me. However they have not often and ecpecially not without phil or bobby being there, so not really on their own. Its nice to hear trey play jerry's parts its like a dream sometimes

[cnyeas]

Actually, in addition to Shakedown Street and Terrapin Station, Phish did Bertha, Scarlet Begonias, Eyes of the World, a unique version of Fire on the Mountain, and a Saint Stephen jam. pretty much only in their very early career, though.

[flyingdreams420]

good times at the shoreline... i was way high at this show

[charleswaltman]

i love how trey spices this up slowly but surely !

[funkstar74]

an explosive combo!

[frat64]

A month later Phil got real sick and had his liver transplant...Good video!!

[brianm1314]

wow awesome, lesh jammin with phish.

[yemmw]

Mike funks this ish up

[paulys420]

Funny how Mike looks to Phil for his approvement (around 5:50 in) the Phil gives a fatherly nod.

[frkydeky]

is there anybody out there 2 jive with

[REWHBLCAIN]

Willson and the wolfmans brother will jive with you

[hollywoodrose77]

I think Carini and Harry Hood are down

[drmlabs]

Mike Gordan shoulda sat this one out, or picked up a kazoo or sumptin. Two basses? no, not needed

[emekfan]

This has a nice little vintage look to it.

[jupiter71]

hey tdunski~i alika yo stuff!!

[tfctc]

great Trey lead guitar and especially in response to Phil. Niiiiice.....

[achmood21]

one of my favorite trey solos ever. thanx for posting this.
