This is killer. No video. Turn it up a bit.
7/12/99 at Great Woods, in Massachusetts.
This is what you would call an epic opener. This was also the first and last time it was played electric, as they played acoustically roughly a dozen times in the fall of 94
Hadnt listened to this show in a few years, and in the last month ive listened 50x.
What a way to open a show. Put yourself there.
Crowd is amazed. Id be amazed.
Not a huge Boston guy, but if you grew up near FM radio, this is embedded in your head. And Phish does their best here. Wish they open 12/28 with it, but that aint happenin!
This is Dave Flaschners recording. Love it.
Hope to see you at MSG Dave if you can make it.
The pictures are just some random snaps i have, nothing special, just as filler for the duration.
After posting this, i realize this song has been posted already in this fashion. Regardless, it rocks.
In the mid 90s Phish did alot of acoustic versions of Foreplay/Longtime with Mike on Banjo and Page on standup bass. It was always hilarious. I had no idea they ever did an electric version. Thanks for sharing!!!

@BigDubbz74 Yea they ran the heck out of it like every night in Oct 94, then a couple more, and that was it till this one. And this was the first and last electric performance of it. Would be awesome live these days, though I cannot see this happenin at MSG
