[1zenrn]

Saw them @ wanut creek two weeks ago. Trey was better than ever, fans were far out. Our 8-9th show- wife danced her ass off.....good time had by all !!!!!!!

[decmasta]

CHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEESECAKEEEEEEEE­EEEEEEEEEE

[JimmyPageisGOD]

this video makes me incredibly happy.

[kenabis00420]

i was there!! beat the epic traffic jam by leaving early and driving around tents on way out. 2 hours to get in, 2 hours to get out, and man i'd do it all again with no regret!! at this point in the show I was hippy flippin' and kinda depressed Heavy Things was the song the nation would hear, but now, years later, it's all good! headin for Charloote and Raleigh this friday/saturday, then Mantras after party show in Raleigh, can't _bleeping- wait! Gotta love The Phish!

[phishinvan]

@kenabis00420 looks like you got 2 great shows. Charlotte especially. I got to see the 1st night in Alpharetta. It was my first show since IT in 2003. They are playing so well right now. Hope you had a great time. I love YouTube for the sole fact that there are so many great Big Cypress fan videos now being posted. That was my one regret after leaving Cypress...that I didn't bring a video camera. But, alas, no regrets anymore! Such an amazing experience.

[YEMbyphish]

"Fans of The Phish" lol

[BenBeanin]

Even though he called them "The Phish", and brought up the Grateful Dead, Peter Jennings obviously thought Phish was awesome and meaningful to younger folks. In fact, Jennings produced some of the best domestic journalism you can find....RIP Peter Jennings and thanks for bringing some class to network programming. PS thank you Phish for being Phish!

[bongojim420]

''The Phish'' lol

[gotta024]

I was standing 10 feet from the girl who led the Cheesecake chant...she started it..was awesome...Epic ...what a 3 days...was nearly perfect.

[phishin21]

haha coldbeer your an idiot..you obviously got dummer since you stopped smoking...that has nothing to do with their music...they are talented folk...drugs just happends to be something people enjoy while listening to their tunes

[decmasta]

CHEESECAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[2wdj6]

"The Phish" hahaha

[colderbeer]

I stopped smoking weed a while back. Then I stopped talking in a stupid manner....and I stopped laughing in a strange way....and I then realized how shitty the "music" was that I'd been listening to for too many years.

[harrypalms1112]

@colderbeer You're a clown, have another cold beer.

[TheRclacey]

@colderbeer So what amazing music are you listening to now?

[dootube0132]

words. wah!!!!  lol!!!!

[MUTE8able]

dear trey, i hate the delay pedal

sincerely, phan since 93

[decmasta]

@MUTE8able when the hell does he use the delay here? I don't hear any delay.

[SativaBeliver]

ladies and gentelmen the phish!

[learntowaterski]

100 days til hampton !!!! oooooohhhhhhh yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!

[philipwalter87]

and don't forget to stay out of the left lane, unless you're passing

[aknugs]

best time of my life.  boy did they sing for us..... :P

[hosscat74]

I wish i wasn't 8 years old then and could have been there. But i have started my journey and cannot get enough. Changed my life to say the least.

[seanpgalb1]

trey's pupils are massive in this video, I wonder if he was on the green stuff.

[pupils777]

@seanpgalb1 that and I was wondering around the rail and trey had a "spot" where he would go every other song for about 30 seconds or so.......he claimed it was a porta john, but it makes sense about his eyes......

to lump coco canie and pot in the same catergory does make kids feel like the 2 drugs are just as harmless........which is not good.

[migbee]

@seanpgalb1 the green stuff? probably the LSD stuff lolz

[seanpgalb1]

@migbee look it up, foo! there was some dank ass green stuff goin' round. far out shit.

[migbee]

@seanpgalb1 LSD, at least for me, usually is accompanied by large amounts of dank ass green..

[seanpgalb1]

@migbee haha, too bad the green stuff I'm talking about is a rare psychedelic substance that circulated at the fest

[migbee]

@seanpgalb1 I hope you weren't smoking green DMT.. laden with impurities... DMT should be white, or tan/brownish at the worst...

But yeah, if you were smoking DMT at Phish, more power to ya! I smelled it everywhere the first night they played at Bonnaroo.. my first Phish show :D

[migbee]

@seanpgalb1 After re-reading the comments, it couldn't have been DMT if you thought Trey was playing while he was on it XD

What was it, some kind of research chemical? 5-meo-mipt or some other such random chemical? Real mescaline if you were lucky...

[seanpgalb1]

@migbee wow dude, I'm not talking about DMT. Just search "GREEN STUFF BIG CYPRESS 1999" and you will soon be less confused.

[migbee]

@seanpgalb1 Yeah I looked it up and it all sort of makes sense now

Wish I was there

[phluffhead79]

Cheesecake!!!!!Cheesecake!!!!!­Cheesecake!!!!!

[drhaley1]

lol ...junk..............GD with JG , no imitations, no further.....it died in 95 (the day the music died 95'

[hosscat74]

@drhaley1

Change is never a bad thing. Maybe you should give this more of a chance and it will open your eyes to more then just music.

[phanfromMT]

i love the shot of the sea of people at 4: 23 it raises the hair on my neck every time cause trey builds it up so perfectly and everyone just goes wild

[antelope441]

CHEESECAKE!

[antelope441]

CHEESCAKE!

[drewwantsyourbod]

im sorry i just dont get it.

[tristramshandy3]

@drewwantsyourbod This is NOT the song to judge this band by. Listen to a live version of YOU ENJOY MYSELF. If you don't like that song, you are not a phan.

Viva Montaigne- the greatest man to ever live.

[leesmommyishot]

CHEESECAKE!!!!

[bigjibboo]

Cocaine is one helluva drug.

[dragonphart]

Cheesecake!!

[rrtierney]

LONG LIVE THE JEDI KNIGHT

[LizRichieBand]

I've done a cover of "Swept Away".......comments would be awesome.Ty <3.

[douchechillum]

Peter Jennings was shredded on the firemost shards when he reported this, hence his "The Phish" reference.

He was pissed he had to jump off tour and miss Cypress to cover the millennium.

Fact.

[arz703]

CHEESECAKE

[BalZac419]

CHEESECAKE!

[pauly7917]

where the Ray Charles vid.?

[mildar]

Cheese cake!!!!!!!!

[yobhsiFehT]

Why do so many in "the mainstream" seem to treat "the Phish" like a joke or, at best, a novelty act?? Obviously Phish has a better sense of humor than a lot of bands and the guys don't take things too seriously, but they are clearly SERIOUS musicians, ya know.?. I don't get it. Millions and millions of people are serious fans, so why don't the various talking heads out there ever treat them like the genuine article?

[amandastern1]

Oh yes, the traffic....I live like, what should only take 30 min to get there....well worth the traffic!!!! Met some really nice ppl in the "jam"...no pun intened

[bostonconvic]

CHEESECAKE CHEESECAKE

[permanentvacation6]

If you don't know Phish, Think Grateful Dead, If you don't know The Dead... then fuck you lol

[SebChristiansen]

Peter Jennings...always classy. Way to give Phish their props : )

[tristramshandy3]

@SebChristiansen he's a corporate whore.

[YpSiLoN666]

Vaya colocón que tiene aquí Trey jejeje...

Me alegro de que se haya recuperado de las drogas, no se merece pasarlo mal

[jazzyrocka12]

"the phish"

[rasdub]

Still get chills to this day every time they cut to the crowd shot as Trey starts the solo. Oh to be able to travel back in time =)))

[kungfujellybean]

A bit generic for my tastes. But it had a great feel.

[themesser2010]

CHEESECAKE!

[danogzilla]

fuck yeah!

[DEMONIIIK]

I'm so glad the world didn't end... but if it did, this would be how I'd spend the last of it. :)

[coryjim1]

"the phish" loves cheesecake rofl

[ezekieloak]

This song always reminds me of that famous German song, Mambo Number Five by Lou Bega. A little bit tillie in my breast.  A little bit of Merry was a friend, I'd say, until she Mambo 5-ed away. A little bit o' Phish makes me move to where they make me your man!

[oldsconvertible]

Awesome. I remeber seeing this in TV. Cool!!

[eastcoastdan]

cheesecake! ...loved the giant ice pyramid in the middle of the concert field

[hotboi79a]

Why did Jennings call them "The Phish." Isn't their name just "Phish" ?

[alaurissa]

fans of the phish!!!

[axwell21]

"The Phish"

Look up the japanese broadcast for more of the "cheesecake" part

[buffalofonix]

@VERNIXX

Touché lol

[phishinvan]

Beautiful night. Y2K mattered not...  What a great time. Truly amazing!

Words just can't sum up those 3 days.

Here comes the Sun!!!

[1111isNow]

@VERNIXX a little negativity from you to the rest of the world thanks.

[Knoxesdad]

Ahhhh so many better songs were played at this amazing event but I guess this is the most TV friendly. I was within 15 rows of the stage the whole festival and I can see my self @ 4:11-4:20!!!!! I have never really looked at this video closely but there I am with a goofy spaced out look on my face:)! This was an amazing experience!

[holla4dolla1]

I can't Hardly remember one set from Cypress, Just tha phrase , Follow the Lines Goin South! Double Farris wheel and Spam, Woohoo! PhishHead 4 Life

[hiltondoyletrio]

PHISH IS THE GREATEST BAND IN THE WORLD,

well besides us of course...

[UnclePens]

I will never forget Trey saying MY BAD

[UnclePens]

One of the best times of my life! I will never forget saying, "I have to say some shit about world peace and then everyone yell CHEESECAKE when the song ends." That and the guy who found god on the farriswheel!

[jerryficus]

the phish

[planetwalker]

lol too funny guy.

[cannabisabuser]

So in order to be successful in society you gotta get private education? Public education is not bad, as long as you know how to exploit it.

And come one, Phish is pretty chill. They know how to transform feelings onto instruments. They actually are musicians. Unlike probably what you would consider "musicians".

[gegolay66]

cheese cake !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jbonhamII]

CHEESECAKE

[samoshillamo]

aww man i wish i was old enough to go to this when it happened

[harry61991]

the phish lol

[umyeaokdude]

@harry61991 cracked me up!

[mmasonvw]

this concert and woodstock= 2 best shows of all time

[221bigmac]

oh i see. i have the concert on my ipod, and i never heard trey tell them to say 'cheescake.'

[221bigmac]

i know it's funny, but what did the 'cheescake!' thing have to do with anything?

[Ipat42]

nothing, just a new years gag. its why we all love the phish!

[hearn421]

10 yrs ago..time flies! I sure wish I was in Miami tonight.

[vinniecliveden]

Im not sure what is better "The Phish" Trey reminding the crowd that the left lane is for turning only or Cheesecake chants

[cleanbeats007]

Cheesecake! Cheesecake! Cheesecake!

[paulk1997]

i love how he says "the phish"

bahaa

[luvthecuse]

Phish is great but man.....Trey needs some singing lessons....the high notes are not his friends.

[boomslangdog]

i agree man. the best part is the music though. the vocals fit. hes not great vocally but somebody has to do it

[SpeakToMe73]

his voice is out man, he's been singing for a while then.

[n0ttinghamLac3]

the announcer is a tool. he calls them "the phish". I mean if you're going to pretend to be considerate you should at least get the fucking name right.

[jmattbassplaya90]

You know, Peter Jennings has been a household name since the 80`s, and while Phish is a popular band they are far from mainstream and still quite underground as far as popular music is concerned - even in the US. I think more Americans know who Peter Jennings is than Phish.

[kosser321]

psh ya....if you're from the 80s

[CraigIrish]

I was there!! The best time of my life!! The best music!! The best friends...I have kids now, I hope to take them to a show.

[Justanotherlizard]

Your just like my friend that was there.. we brought hish kids to toyota park here in chicago!! it was priceless watching them dance around!!!!

[5321jerry]

Trey is so coked here. My lord how obvious.

[boomslangdog]

i hear you bro

[makisupa110]

CHEESECAKE!

[das42081]

Peter Jennings is sweet and so is Phish

[tristramshandy3]

did they HAVE to play their worst song? Imagine if they'd joined us for 6 minutes of a YEM jam. THAT would have been TIGHT!

[ipal80]

whos this fag in the beginning?

[FLPman]

he says they were going to see "the phish". LOL

[Umberto2]

Peter Jennings has been to Dead shows.  He's cooler than you think.

[CABRAVES20]

yeah dude peter jennings left highschool and became a hippie. its kinda neat to think of a dead head with no education becoming one of the most recognisable faces of his generation

[tristramshandy3]

he's also a corporate whore. Not so cool at all!

[Sniz420]

o god, fans of "the phish"

[dylanBPK]

"the right lane is for driving, the left lane is for passing."

[mildar]

[zyx345]

3:05 is the start of awesomeness.....

[marleyboy4945]

[kovach101]

[VERNIXX]

[gil61787]

CHEESECAKE!!!

[PhishH2OH]

they shouldn't have had Peter Jennings on there...damn ree ree

[MeltedPuke]

Kustravels23... I seen this and had the first listen deal you were talking about, well on teevee. I mean that I never was into phish and a few people who were at the house I was staying at 4 that nite, well I,, we all kinda waited till 4 am or so then finally they were on tv like we waited for ... I didnt care. It was very cool and only got better and better to me! and I finally got to see phish once, I felt robbed of all the time that I wasn't devoting my life to it.

[EllisDizzle]

I think this is still the highest point of my life, in many different ways :P

[TizzyElBizzall]

Fans of "the Phish" HA!

[edenandcaleb]

Such great memories, we drove 7 of us from NB Canada, and what a time, CHEESE CAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mofuggindeeye]

hahaha "The Phish"

CHEESECAKE! say it like your pissed! haha

[FilthFancy]

CHEESECAKE...CHEESECAKE!!!! When I have alzheimers I will remember Trey trying to get everyone to chant that.

[kushtravels23]

I wish I could imagine what this would sound like if I'd neverheard them play before. It would probably make me want to be a phish fan.

[padraicohare]

Ahhhh  Peter Jennings.....

[Cahady]

i love cheesecake

[jsuckonic]

phish isssss the best.

[serjfan13]

[LaurenceChunkCohen]

Cheesecake is delicious.

[DANACABANA]

even now, i still get chills when i hear the word........

and the phish

[sk198181]

Fans of "The Phish"...who can thank Peter for over-simplifying the "gist" of the band for the non-initiated. Just think Grateful Dead!

[salinas256]

[prjctcivilian]

[jllphan]

CHEESECAKE!

[AlexanderRadulov]

Got my Bonnaroo ticket and a Knoxville ticket. Wooooooo.

Phish has been waiting a LONG time to play Bonnaroo. They are going to melt faces there.

[WayinTruth]

Lucky. I'm saving my money for Bonnaroo. Selling plasma and semen since i'm a poor college student. How much was the ticket including all the services charges and shit....?

[AlexanderRadulov]

around the 250 mark, I can't really remember because I bought it in early december. Good luck man, I think with the shit that Ticketbastard and Livenation pulled on everybody for the first leg of this tour that Roo is going to sell out fast.

[WeedGuru420]

its so worht it, ill be there and see all of you there! ill be the one in the cow costume jammin to some phish!

[Bonzorz]

he's so fucking happy!!!

I love trey.

[snorfledumpkins]

CHEESECAKE

[gb342002]

East Troy Wisconsin is where my summer is going to end! phuck yeah!

[MultiCultiXpress]

One of the best decisions I ever made was going on Phish Tour, Summer 2003. Equal to an advanced degree, and beyond. There are some things which you only learn on tour. Somebody might say what are those things, I say spiritual truths of humankind, I know people better and their inner workings. PHish gave me a musical home for so long. the soundtrack to my best days.

[justmyopinionbro]

Say it like you're pissed. CHEESECAKE!

[sjoyce54]

I was there but I was sooooo tired because I was up all night in the traffic and it was too hot to sleep in the tent during the day, but it was still awesome. The Great Went was better though.

[yingmcjensen]

sooo glad phish is touring again.ill hopefully be going to both day in ny.ill definately go to deer creek

[pagonzalez1983]

on the tape of this show, the setup is so funny.

[deadphish09]

"the phish"? lawl

Can't wait to see these guys for the first time, they changed my life.

[masterj345]

damn they look so young

[soundmixtress]

Righteous phans Phish has... God bless you! Happy 2009 with Phish touring again. Peace and love. A phriend.
