I first heard of phish when I was 12 when a car crashed into a tree in our front yard. The driver got arrested for DUI, and before they towed the car, I took a look around, and found a copy of Hoist. As soon as I put it in the CD player I was in love.
@PatrickEganLong good poin, i agree only because most of everything on piper at the gates of dawn has a STRONG underlineing of the beatles, you can hear how they started and hear hints of what they where to be
a seven headed dragon just used my toilet, mr. hippo ate the last piece of cake, the martian gave me a perisan blanket, while the italian guy grew tomatoes and i listened to phish
if you don't like this song then you are fucked in the head. Saw these guys for the first time this summer (I know, I'm late to the party but i really only got into them about a year ago) and this song in Charlotte blew me away. I love it especially because the sound of the music can only be described in one word: Free.
Really getting into them. Someone tell me your fave album so I can really listen to them? I don't trust the iTunes most popular. That's usally made by a bunch of people who don't know good music.
@MCRProductions09 Farmhouse - best album cover to cover; Billy Breathes #2; Junta has the best jams; Slip Stitch and Pass is an incredible live album; they have a series of live albums released about 1999, #06 is my fav; Hoist has some interesting stuff, including a love song with Allison Krause doing a duet with Trey that's as beautiful a song as you'll ever hear. After that, just buy their complete studio works, and start in on the billions of live recordings available.
Why does everyone always insist on comparing Phish to other bands? No one ever compares Floyd or the Dead to other bands...Phish is Phish and they are very original and very very good so can we please stop making comparisons and like them for who and what they are!!!!!!!!!
i cant help but smile every time i hear any phish song, the best time of my life was spent in freshmen year skipping class with my best friend and blaring phish, :)
FUUUUUUuuuuuuuCK YEEEEEEEEaaaaaaaaaaaH !!!!!!!!!!!! Oh Moejoe here's another opinion.... nobody cares about the banal obscure hoping for the intellectual yet falling into the snobby realm most suitable for the preppy characters you see in old john hugh movies repititious shit you churn out. Let me tell you a littele secret. Been around since the sixties. NOBODY CARES AND THEY HAVE NO RIGHT TO. JUST CRANK THAT SHIT UP MY BROTHER!!! AND DANCE LIKE YOU THINK NOONE IS WATCHING.
PHISH to me is modern (DEAD) killer show mind melting guitar loops you won't know which way you mind is going, Trust Me!!! FLOYD Space Truck'n ROCK. BEATLES???? Come on. Just an opinion.
i heaard it was da fat drummer who look retarded but den somebody said it was da redhed who pretend to know how to play guitar but den day say it was da jewish dork that is into kiddie porn on da bass..den day said no it is da piano playa - so which one is it? do day all like choco-cok?

@xxfiremansamxx you are an idiot if you truly think that this song is about anything racist i won't go any deeper but please people don't listen to this idiot
Oh my goodness Phish are the most racist shit band in the world i mean just listen to those lyrics. 'Free' is very obviously referring to how phish think they are better than low class people. Part of this song is obviously referring to the Australian Aboriginals who are considered lower than white Australians and are unemployed and alcoholics. Fuck you phish for being this racist.
Billy Breathes is one of the best Phish albums, after the old stuff of course, hoist and a picture of necter, along with a long list of covers and ancient phish songs. I remember when i was on tour from 95 to 99, everybody hated Bouncing cuz we were so sick of hearing it played fifty times on one tour, lol. Still a good song if you havent heard it in awhile, oldy.
Why so many thumbs down? The guy's got a point. Throw the Beatles and Floyd together and stick em in the 90's and you've got a pretty good outline of Phish. If you don't see the resemblance, you must not know either of the bands that well
@weathermaker91 go look at the score for let it be, then look at the score for, say, shine on you crazy diamond... no comparison. their later stuff was great with the white album and sgt peppers, but i cant stand the crap where they sing "i love you" at different pitches over 3 chords for 3 minutes. the beatles were famous because they were first, pink floyd was famous because they were best.
oh my dear boy, pink floyd greater than the beatles? maybe you like their music better and trust me i love their music too but if you want to talk about greatest of all time you just can't possibly put them or any other band over the beatles, it's not an opinion it's a fact. you should consider actually paying attention and not just making it your youtube handle.
@payinattention225 The amount of complexity, and creativity in a piece of music, is however a blatant fact.
It doesn't take a whole lot to rhyme words and create a hip hop song, considering half the time there's no composed harmony.
The amount of effort put into a Phish song, or a jazz composition is much greater than that of just about any genre since the 80's. This, regardless or opinion, is a fact. And in my opinion this is much more respectable, talent ought to be rewarded.
@residentevlidead if you listen to all of phish's music you will know that they are nothing like the beatles or pink floyd, they can't even be put into a genre of music
@residentevlidead instead of floyd id put the dead cause floyd kinda has the same tempo to every song or rhythm and the dead are the jammy type like phish
@residentevlidead phish is kind of like pink floyd the beatles, led zep, allman brothers, bob marley, John Hartford, david grisman, the dead, the stones, santana, jefferson airplane all combined
I sang, "i'm free!!!" to all the cool kids at the gorge. :D (after show, walking back to camp....) At one point we were sailing...... "i'm sailing!!!" and we found dr. leo marvin :D (random yet relevent thought lol) I'm free! and phish helps in that endeavor :) ty ever kindly to fishman, go-gor-bass, jedi-trey & master-fingers!!!!! love how they funked us out! can't wait for indio
