Okay...last post...it seems that at 8:30 the whole jam sort of sets the tone for the whole song...mike looks like he's about to blow a musical load!....is there anyone out there with as much spare time on their hands as I have that can back me up on this?!?...lol...or offer an opinion? There's not many phans in florida.

i understand how sum pep's think phish is annoying... but this jam that ends the song, I JUST THINK ITS INCREDIBLE...just when I think I'm "phished" out after 18 years (I'm 33)...trey ends up playing something like this...and the rest follows...he's such a leader. The lights aren't over-theatrical but play more as another instrument ....BUT THIS FRICKIN JAM AT THE END....I'M SUCH A DORK WHEN I FEEL THAT THESE GUYS ARE STILL CONNECTIN SINCE '87.

[unclejunglebass]

[lysny618]

@unclejunglebass that's the beauty of phish... if you really think about it, you wouldn't want them to do this every night.

I can see Ed Robertson writing and singing something like this-very BNL-y.

Pretty song, and emotional too.

[hellbornelfchild]

The improv I mean.

[hellbornelfchild]

This reminds me of the late 90s... good stuff!

[down2roots]

***@HarpuaFSB*** Good work! This is the best video by far that I found for this song! And the audio is great, as well. Very pro, man, keep it up :)

[guyyute]

PT idiots claiming Ph doesn't jam anymore . . . open yo' ears.

[Hunsanity]

@guyyute i agree - you could have stopped your sentence at "idiots".. haha

[247packersallday]

I love how now Phish has combined their awesome music abilities with some great lyrics. Joy was filled with songs that actually mean something..Love it guys..keep it up!

[soyounoat]

Nice work on the video/audio. One of my favorite new Phish tunes - and this one is maybe the best version so far.

[whatthecello42]

This jam actually becomes something interesting, instead of another blistering rock peak.

[albrardo]

I remember smiling from ear to ear as Trey kept developing the theme toward the end of the jam. I had great seats up in the mezzanine, dead center, front row. Awesome jam. Thanks for posting! Cant wait to watch the rest of your videos.
