It was a little thread of eternal bliss. Hard to find words that can express the gratitude that this {weekend?,,felt like a full week!} show and re-living it through this platform and knowing that these tapes were (almost all of 'em made back to the public) taken care of. I am certain that every one of those folks who's job it was to make sure of recording and bringing back the tapes through the haze and volume... I'm sure they were have at least nearly as much fun as everyone else. 🎼⚗🧪 So much to be grateful for! So many moments, and possibilities, and probabilities. So many tiny little moments all went just perfectly the right way. So Grateful! Thank~you everyone who helped make these memories with us!
darrick steele much love to you, my brother. I can feel it through your comment, through this web we share. You have read the book 🙏🕉 So grateful, and feel so blessed for all of this...all of it... Take a look around...it’s exactly how it’s supposed to be...
I stayed awake for the entire 8 hour set and somehow kept a running setlist notebook with start times and all, my friends looked at me the next couple days like I was literally holding the helping phriendly book itself. easily one of the most amazing things I've ever witnessed musically, still gives me goosebumps
Marcus, you me and one other guy were the only three still standing as the sun came up, the set ended and Here Comes The Sun by the Beatles came on over the PA. Everyone else looked like a nuke had gone of and killed everybody. I guess, in a way, it did! 3 sugar cubes of the best liquid ever protected me from certain death like all the rest. Such a sick set! I actually heard some idiot complaining that there was no encore...I'm like, they just played for 8 hours straight you pos! Hahaha!
The legendary bassist Tony Markellis is responsible for this bassline, and he just passed away. I will always think of him when I hear the thundering bass in this song. R.I.P. Tony.
this could be my all time favorite jam. Trey is 110% locked in and the interplay behind him is hypnotizing. not a bad note played. intense focus and patience. this isn't just noodling, my friends. this shit fuckin soars.
After much consideration, I've decided that this is the jam that most exemplifies what I consider Phish to be about and what I love about this band. An amazing moment in music history and I feel honored to be someone who "gets it".
I can't even begin to describe how grateful I am for how much joy and connection Phish has brought into my life. Grateful forever. Thank you trey, Mike, page, and of course fishman.
Life is good. I can't imagine the freedom and limitless possibilities the band felt out in the middle of nowhere during the millennium. Phish from 97-2000 is perhaps the greatest exploration of music ever . GD from 69-72 , JGB -74-76, Phish 97-2000 are greatest years of bands purely exploring how far they can their music .
Straight up. Been listening to a lot of Phish Head Soup too. Nothing beats this stuff when cooking during a rush or closing down at the end of the night.
Drove down from Maine to be at this show. This was the most amazing live show I ever saw with Phish and was there for my birthday. Will never forget. Epic.
All summer from the beginning of June to the middle of July, from 10pm to 2am, I would put on my headphones and crank this song up while out in my garden and yard pulling weeds, planting snow peas, tending to my raised beds of carrots, beans, corn and lettuce. Every once in a while a mama moose would walk by with her young, look at me and stare. She must have thought like I did. Damn, what a beautiful warm night to be out and about. Nothing beats summers in Alaska and nothing comes close to this version of sand. It's now the middle of August and I can't pic these damn vegetables fast enough. But somehow, I almost do and I have this version of sand to thank.
Just read this. I truly love your description of your daily routine (ritual). Wish I could be in such a beautiful place as Alaska. In Connecticut the trees look amazing in the fall, right about now, listening to Sand and looking upon the sea of yellow, red, orange, crimson...
Eric Tellier I Eric , This is my first time hearing Sand, I'm from Naugatuck ,Connecticut .it's late Feb and the birds are coming back,It's beautiful .Wonderful jamming song huh?
I got high and listened to this, and let me tell you, I went places. One of my favorite memories now. Phish is powerful man. Very beautiful moments from my life. Great jam, even more grateful to be alive.
That there hasn't been an official Phish release of this entire weekend is completely mind-boggling. I'd pre-order it so fast Fish's head would spin. CHEESECAKE!
Im a Deadhead man have been for sumtime,i heard the name Phish for awhile now.Im glad im listening to these cats,can here the Dead in there tunes jamming and just straight dope as talent man,fuck these guys are to cool.Neather really heard a other band with those long glorious dope jams,they can play lead guitar magic stuff.Got one of there cds heading my way.Peace and love to all from new Zealand.
Late 90s Phish was untouchable... intense playing and space funk... It was like a whole different band in 97 compared to 95 (my first show). They figured it all out on Europe tour and just came back to the States with this!
Yep, they were a different band by 97. Personally I missed the fire from the early 90's. That was when any of the four could be a lead instrument. Phish's energy and creativity was never better than '92-'96 and their tight clean razor edge improv skills were at their peak. In '97 they made a conscious decision to play like a traditional band with bass and drums laying the foundation with Page and Trey on top. It's still good stuff but for my money, they were at their best when it was anything goes.
Phish..now...is what it is...they ve won the Stanley cup...trey..needs 2 b trey..and that's good. Overall, they've never much faked...the yearn 4 "weirdness...and quality"...not 2 many bands tackle the hard shit like they did. ....there fucking awsome
@@honuman39 id say that 96 was 95’s aftermath, and that deciding to focus on keeping a pulse instead of seizing up was necessary for Phish to move forward.
I remember this like it was yesterday. Such a fun time and yes, this was one of the greatest versions of this song I have ever had the pleasure to witness.
Wow.. my first show wasn't until 2011 or 2012, but wow. Few things seem easier but are actually more difficult than playing that rhythm for over 20 mins... so hypnotic and great to explore over Such discipline and concentration (or lack of)
I remember the distinct feeling that I was a leaf shaking and vibrating at the end of a crooked branch. I even perceived the veins in the leaf structure funneling life giving excretions. Yeah.
I would give anything to have been alive and had the chance to follow late 90s phish. Following next year's tour though. Cant wait! Also im going to dicks this fall. See you there!
I caught quite a few shows in the 90s and I must say, you're blessed to see Phish play right now, as well. The setlists were great back then, but they still jam like no other.
You could feel that bass in your chest all weekend. The low end was crazy. My t-shit shimmered against my skin. Pretty sure it permanently changed my heart rhythm. Sorcery.
Been a Phish fan since mid early 90s...older brother took me to a few shows when I was like 12-16 In 96-99. First time on this heady ass Sand some twenty years later. Holy lord. Heard lots about this show and this song in particular but we all come to great versions of songs on our own time/schedule so this one is a first 20 years after even after being a Phan for 20 years. Feel like the real ones get that or at least I hope they do! Greatest band in the world!!!!
For the longest time I thought the lyrics were “you can heal the symptoms but not effect the cause” although it’s incorrect it still spoke to me. We can’t always control what happens in our lives but we can control how we react to it.
This was where I peaked. And it was MOs def a combo of “things” but the drone of this sound into Quad Topplings with the loops was something I’d never seen and my first show was ‘94! This was a stop and starting point. The amount of layers that Trey puts on and the focus of the Mike/Fish to allow for sure weirdness. I’m so glad I waited out that maniacal traffic! Hopefully some of you were lucky enough to follow me out!!!! HAHAHAHAHAH. Everyone was asleep and blocking the roads, so I took the creek beds........I had at least 100 cars behind me. I pulled a bigger caper at Coventry both in and out!!! Logistics is my thing
Ya know. When I see this (my heroes rocking it from the mountain top at the peak of their game) I’m reminded of how lucky I am to have a favorite band. It’s like church when you’re at a show trippin balls and shedding your ego. Special shit yo! 😎🏆❤️
+Jeff Boyd I prefer 9-2-12 by a sliver. Those two versions of Sand are filthy. This version is space central where 9-2 is a "put your kids to bed" throwdown.
There are plenty of jams that are great live in the moment… then there are jams that hold up after countless relistens… this is both. Tight, atmospheric, textured, patient space funk at its finest. ⭕️🐊
I dont usually look down on my phellow phans, but damn man, where have you been lol?? I kid. Arguably the best Sand ever. I was 18 and it still ranks up there as one of the best times of my life. Being in that swamp in the middle of nowhere, gators to my left, snakes to the right. Not knowing or caring what was happening anywhere else. Just vibing with 75,000 of my closest phriends.
@@ItsAllBallBearings I envy the hell outta you. I had close friends who were there and the stories I heard when they got back were as if they had been on a different fucking planet!
This is the peak of Big Cypress, there's 3 distinct ones in my view, within the all night set, you've got the 30min Rock and Roll, about an hour later the 45min Sand>Quadrophonic, and then later towards the end Piper>Free just goes nuts, yes there's the Drowned>AfterMidnight reprise, and the 35min Roses Are Free as the sun is rising, but these 3 peaks I mentioned hit territory phish has never come close to covering again.
I can barely watch clips from this show because not going is one of the biggest regrets of my damn life. A couple friends of mine went, and I didn't because I was having problems with my girlfriend at the time. So stupid. I missed Halloween 94 too because I chose to go to the Dead's last run at the Boston Garden earlier that month instead. Those two decisions haunt me to this day.
I'm the opposite. I was dragged by my girlfriend kicking and screaming..... She made me load up my E-250 van with two of her friends and drive there a day early. We got there at 12 noon on 12/30. Luckiest thing to happen to me in my life. What's often forgotten..... Friday they played from 4 pm - 6 pm. Then from 8 pm - 10 pm AND from midnight until 2 am... Then, they came back for New Year's Eve 2000 and played 8 pm - 10 pm and closing by covering Clapton's After Midnight.... So..... After playing 8 hours inside a 30-hour time span, they set off into a 7.5 hour set with one 15 minute bathroom break. Nobody but The Rolling Stones has, or ever will, sell out ALL stadiums for 62 years straight. Nobody but Phish will play 15.5 hours inside of 40 hours..... NOBODY ! Sorry you missed it. I've seen them 15 times. You're probably still WAY ahead of me in total hours. But... I do have Stones tickets for Jun 3rd Orlando and Jun 7th Atlanta.... for my 14th and 15th time. I'll quote Trey, "We had the good fortune of opening for The Rolling Stones once. The life of a rock star is often exaggerated. After every show, the first thing I do (still quoting Trey) is go back to my hotel, review that show for mistakes, and start preparing for the next show. If there is any doubt, let me be perfectly clear. The Rolling Stones are the hardest working band to ever exist, and it isn't even close." I believe Trey.
@@francus7227 Ya I'd be thankful that girlfriend dragged you there. I'm still angry I missed it. But ya I got to go to The Great Went, Lemon Wheel & Clifford Ball. In total I've been to 78 shows now. I just went to 76-78 at the Mansfield shows a couple weeks ago. (Sorta sorry I didn't go to the CT shows too actually, but you can only take so much time off work) I got to the NY Year's show this past year too and got to FINALLY see a gamehenge show. That was definitely one checked off the bucket list that I didn't think I'd ever see. At this point I feel like I need to take every opportunity to see them. I fear they'll probably only tour regularly another few years. The current shows don't quite have the electricity of the 90s run, but they're still the best live band out there, hands down.
my son had worked so hard at converting me convincing me and making me a believer... by sending me 365 songs 365 days in a row leading up to my very 1st Phish show 6/²² but I don't remember him sending me a sand!!!! and I'm a huge conspiracy theorist.... thanks Justin... my 1st born in 84 and you failed me.... lol just kidding son
I was in the VERY back by the hot air balloon. Question: There was one song.... and mean ONE song.... when everyone started throwing glow sticks. Was it Sand? If not, do you recall it? It was like Phish had planned it.... It looked like a WALL of jumping light by the thousands for at least two minutes. I thought the band was gonna end up waist deep. Thanks
If you listen hard enough in certain parts of the Everglades, you can still hear Mike's bass line from this Sand.
I heard it last weekend
I'm a bass player and would jump off a bridge if I had to play that bass line for 22 minutes straight.
to be fair the whole band was in outer space during this show. Actually probably for most of 99 fall tour
whack comment from a bass player. this line's a fuckin mantra. lock it n ride it for as long as it rides
Curveball CHEESECAKE!!! SAY IT LIKE YOU'RE PISSED!
We’re so fortunate to have this available on UA-cam
Man, that's the truth!

Seriously. This is a privilege to watch and experience second-hand. I can’t imagine what this was like in person
This is so Meditative. I love it, this has become my favorite Phish jam.
I mean..
Legend has it that Mike is still playing this bass line
Was wondering what he was doing inside that hair 🍄🐊🐊🐊🍄🧬🍄🌹🍄🐟🐟🐟🍄

Thats pretty awesome. Not many do the setlist book anymore. I have one on my phone. Same idea but for my generation i guess.
I gotta see this list. Post it on Reddit
That ambient set...
Marcus Sabini this sir IS the greatest concert EVER by anybody PERIOD!!!!!
Marcus, you me and one other guy were the only three still standing as the sun came up, the set ended and Here Comes The Sun by the Beatles came on over the PA.

Only phish could explore the whole universe riding the same baseline for 22 minutes. Legendary.
Now that the baseline is out there we can all
Ride it…
Mike is playing that bass line for the team and it worked
For Jimmy Ennis !!!!

We will always remember Subtle humor band. Busk on James Thomas. ❤😊

Favorite thing to listen to while closing down a kitchen at 3 in the morning

Lot's of my friends from the yarmouth area made the trip down!!
This is how you survive quarantine.
From BigCyp to Beal Street and the absynthe bar! Saaaaaaaand
I think this is the specific jam that made me go, "Oh, I should listen to more Phish."
Treys run from 17:39-18:04 gives me chills every time. Can't stop re-winding this part.
All summer from the beginning of June to the middle of July, from 10pm to 2am, I would put on my headphones and crank this song up while out in my garden and yard pulling weeds, planting snow peas, tending to my raised beds of carrots, beans, corn and lettuce. Every once in a while a mama moose would walk by with her young, look at me and stare. She must have thought like I did. Damn, what a beautiful warm night to be out and about. Nothing beats summers in Alaska and nothing comes close to this version of sand. It's now the middle of August and I can't pic these damn vegetables fast enough. But somehow, I almost do and I have this version of sand to thank.
think ill try Alaska...
Just read this. I truly love your description of your daily routine (ritual). Wish I could be in such a beautiful place as Alaska.
In Connecticut the trees look amazing in the fall, right about now, listening to Sand and looking upon the sea of yellow, red, orange, crimson...

Best sand, just crazy. So satisfying how the jam devolves around 18:20 and progresses
Legend has it Mike took a nap during this song
This, C&P and Roses from Big Cypress are pinnacle Phish. You can throw in the After Midnight too. Blessed to be there.
Don’t forget that 26 minute rock and roll
for me two of the BEST jams of Cypress aren't from the all night set, the SPLIT OPEN MELT>Catapult and the TUBE!! very underrated
@@marcusfoto yes, that Split > Catapult has gotta be included, soooo good
Disease, Twist, YEM, Drowned...

@James Curran dude 12-16-99 Sand (and the whole show) is so fucking incredible.
There are plenty of jams that are great live in the moment… then there are jams that hold up after countless relistens… this is both. Tight, atmospheric, textured, patient space funk at its finest. ⭕️🐊
Perfect little tension and release at 12:49 - Fishman is all over is with the ride
I call myself a huge phish fan yet this is the first time I’ve heard this?? I feel like such a noob. Fucking incredible!
I dont usually look down on my phellow phans, but damn man, where have you been lol?? I kid. Arguably the best Sand ever. I was 18 and it still ranks up there as one of the best times of my life. Being in that swamp in the middle of nowhere, gators to my left, snakes to the right. Not knowing or caring what was happening anywhere else. Just vibing with 75,000 of my closest phriends.
@@ItsAllBallBearings you were only looking from 30000 feet.
@@ItsAllBallBearings I envy the hell outta you. I had close friends who were there and the stories I heard when they got back were as if they had been on a different fucking planet!
99 was in general one.of.the best years for sand
Phuck yeah one of the best nights of my life!!!!!!! So many left that swamp changed for the better for life;''''''''')
The best song. This is the best version, in my opinion, with 12/13/99 as a second. So legendary.
i got a full chub around the 7 minute mark
+ben perry 7:23 to be exact
+imribs oh man 12:00 also. damn
we could be friends
Round 7:07 you can see Trey thinking about what herbs and spices he wants to throw in the stew
All I want for christmas this year is a Soundboard recording of big cypress. I don't care if they sell it for $100, they must have it somewhere.
Brian B what the F are they waiting for!? Take my damn money!
Driving home from work at 5 am and just saw a shooting start enter the atmosphere and burn out almost to the ground. THis shit is magical...
This whole day & night was phenomenal 🙌 ✨️
This is why I love Phish. Sooo good.
This is a jam I just keep revisiting
This is the peak of Big Cypress, there's 3 distinct ones in my view, within the all night set, you've got the 30min Rock and Roll, about an hour later the 45min Sand>Quadrophonic, and then later towards the end Piper>Free just goes nuts, yes there's the Drowned>AfterMidnight reprise, and the 35min Roses Are Free as the sun is rising, but these 3 peaks I mentioned hit territory phish has never come close to covering again.
First peak was first night before the masses arrived they soundchecked Curtis Lowe and the campground erupted! So amazing
Um Mike's Jam brought aliens down
At the beginning of "past tired" and when the sky begins to open up.
Tremendous. Tyvm. Great video too. Omg msg 15/16 only 3 days away!
I love when Trey wears fancy shirts!
Frank Cumella 😂
It has a rainbow on the shoulder, which is a lyric from one of the songs
This was it man ... thee show . Anyone else hang with the Jedi and eat the Green powder ?
This is the first time I've ever heard Sand live. Wow
Kieran Butler same here. Life changing doesn't begin to cover it..
I was there. EPIC! Longest jam EVER!
>Longest jam EVER!
Not by a long shot.
My earbuds. They’re on fire 🔥
Big Cypress, what a time that was
This is for that one guy who hitchhiked to Baja
I can barely watch clips from this show because not going is one of the biggest regrets of my damn life. A couple friends of mine went, and I didn't because I was having problems with my girlfriend at the time. So stupid. I missed Halloween 94 too because I chose to go to the Dead's last run at the Boston Garden earlier that month instead. Those two decisions haunt me to this day.
I'm the opposite. I was dragged by my girlfriend kicking and screaming..... She made me load up my E-250 van with two of her friends and drive there a day early. We got there at 12 noon on 12/30. Luckiest thing to happen to me in my life.
What's often forgotten.....
Friday they played from 4 pm - 6 pm. Then from 8 pm - 10 pm AND from midnight until 2 am...
Then, they came back for New Year's Eve 2000 and played
8 pm - 10 pm and closing by covering Clapton's After Midnight....
So..... After playing 8 hours inside a 30-hour time span, they set off into a 7.5 hour set with one 15 minute bathroom break.
Nobody but The Rolling Stones has, or ever will, sell out ALL stadiums for 62 years straight. Nobody but Phish will play 15.5 hours inside of 40 hours..... NOBODY !
Sorry you missed it.
I've seen them 15 times.
You're probably still WAY ahead of me in total hours.
But... I do have Stones tickets for Jun 3rd Orlando and Jun 7th Atlanta.... for my 14th and 15th time.
I'll quote Trey, "We had the good fortune of opening for The Rolling Stones once. The life of a rock star is often exaggerated. After every show, the first thing I do (still quoting Trey) is go back to my hotel, review that show for mistakes, and start preparing for the next show. If there is any doubt, let me be perfectly clear. The Rolling Stones are the hardest working band to ever exist, and it isn't even close." I believe Trey.
@@francus7227 Ya I'd be thankful that girlfriend dragged you there. I'm still angry I missed it. But ya I got to go to The Great Went, Lemon Wheel & Clifford Ball. In total I've been to 78 shows now. I just went to 76-78 at the Mansfield shows a couple weeks ago. (Sorta sorry I didn't go to the CT shows too actually, but you can only take so much time off work) I got to the NY Year's show this past year too and got to FINALLY see a gamehenge show. That was definitely one checked off the bucket list that I didn't think I'd ever see.
At this point I feel like I need to take every opportunity to see them. I fear they'll probably only tour regularly another few years. The current shows don't quite have the electricity of the 90s run, but they're still the best live band out there, hands down.
Damn this the best band in existence
Is this the goat sand?
Yes is the answer
this is what i'm talking about
WOW such shroom many trip very jam yes
yes, my dear muppet
Tossed
Find me a better sand… we’ll wait. #GOAT
The slow burn jam that turned into Florida's first wildfire of 2000. Damn they were on fire!
I love these guys. Hairs standing endwise.
Every time I hear this bass line something involuntarily takes over my booty.
my son had worked so hard at converting me convincing me and making me a believer... by sending me 365 songs 365 days in a row leading up to my very 1st Phish show 6/²² but I don't remember him sending me a sand!!!! and I'm a huge conspiracy theorist.... thanks Justin... my 1st born in 84 and you failed me.... lol just kidding son
Was in 3rd row. You can hear me scream REBA right before Reba begins 🎉
I was in the VERY back by the hot air balloon.
Question:
There was one song.... and mean ONE song.... when everyone started throwing glow sticks. Was it Sand? If not, do you recall it?
It was like Phish had planned it.... It looked like a WALL of jumping light by the thousands for at least two minutes. I thought the band was gonna end up waist deep.
Thanks
