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.
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 .
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!
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.
I was there. Figured in Y2K was going to cause the world to reboot, hanging out in the everglades with Phish the natives and my girlfriend was about as good of a place as I could find.
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...
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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 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.
Goes to serve as an example that PHISH is the unparalleled force in music in this universe.....This is a fine "Sand"...but just three days ago,,and a mere 22 and half years later on a warm spring Saturday night in Deer Creek Indiana........PHISH PLAYED THE ♤☆SAND◇♧TO END ALL Live versions.....A 35:00 minute...Holy Bible Jedi temple Masterwork that is now recognized as "The Creek Sand"....will INDISPUTABLY Be RECOGNIZED as the Phinest Sand* ever played.....!
I was present for both! This show at 16 years old and had my kids with me at that Deer Creek run. They've been to every show I've gone to since 2012. Life has come full circle, and it is good.
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!!!!
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.
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.
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.
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
+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.
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.
Also I was strangely on pharmaceutical grade MDA,or MDMA or both ganja of course. Traveled from Stockholm Sweden The only song I remember of the four day run was the last One at seven in the morning light. Wading in the velvet Sea Saw Alligators though 🍄🐊🐊🐊🍄🐟🐟🐟🍄🌹🍄🌹🍄🧬🍄
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!
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
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! 😎🏆❤️
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!
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
Legend has it that Mike is still playing this bass line
Was wondering what he was doing inside that hair 🍄🐊🐊🐊🍄🧬🍄🌹🍄🐟🐟🐟🍄
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.
name of song
this song changed my life. Fighting to get out of darkness, saw the light 7/27/19
Best of the best
dancing to this Sand live was one of the one of the best moments of my life....
lucky!

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.

Favorite thing to listen to while closing down a kitchen at 3 in the morning
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.
Yeah man, I manage a health food kitchen and I'm blasting this at least once a week!

Bronzi Blonde or a 3am blow run hahaha
I was there. Figured in Y2K was going to cause the world to reboot, hanging out in the everglades with Phish the natives and my girlfriend was about as good of a place as I could find.

From BigCyp to Beal Street and the absynthe bar! Saaaaaaaand
Damn man. What a phenomenal show. We NEED an official release!!
I think this is the specific jam that made me go, "Oh, I should listen to more Phish."
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.

John Mark well said. I concur. What a time to be alive
We are the luckiest people alive.
sand is a trey song and deff is a phish identifyier
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.
I went UA from the Navy to go to this show. Traded my dungarees for some fungus. Thought the jig was up when I ran into the time police...
Treys run from 17:39-18:04 gives me chills every time. Can't stop re-winding this part.
9:50 to 10:30 - Those notes, that tone, will be with me until my last day on this earth
Right there with ya brother. This shit goes deep.
Those moments are what I live for
Permanently etched. I still get goosebumps
I love the part 0:01 to 22:32
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.
This is such a great Sand. True space vibe and no one in the band is overpowering one another. Just a great big build. Pure Hose.

This and Of Montreal at the Orange Peel in Asheville, NC
Best sand, just crazy. So satisfying how the jam devolves around 18:20 and progresses
One of their best jams
this is easily one of my favorite phish songs of all time. The lights, solos, and the groove itself is one of a kind
I love how at the beginning of this Sand you know shit is about to go down…
what a fucking MASTERPIECE
it really is

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.
Totally in the groove pocket. Still effing awesome 18 years later
lost 15lbs dancing to this 17yrs. where does the fucking time go
Page is straight crushing out the deep space funk in this jam love it
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

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.

Smooth velvety rollercoaster for the ears. 10/10
Wow!What a sick Sand!One of the best ever!Trey is off the hook!God bless!Thank You Phish
And still snubbed at the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame.
That's because they're still riding high and haven't begun to fade. They'll get their flowers eventually.
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 was 2 when this went down, but went on summer tour in 2022 and it was the best summer of my life. Do it. Sell beers and waters, look for green crew.
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.
Phuck yeah one of the best nights of my life!!!!!!! So many left that swamp changed for the better for life;''''''''')
i was there. That was one crazy show. It was strait up in the wilderness.
The Sand to end all Sands. There are plenty of good versions but this is so easily the one you want. I mean just listen...
99 was in general one.of.the best years for sand
Amazing....I love the Dorian mode
The best song. This is the best version, in my opinion, with 12/13/99 as a second. So legendary.
Wish they would go ahead and release this show
Was there. This was epic.

People, this is the HOLY GRAIL. Not just Sand. EVERYTHING IN THIS GIG.
This has me considering doing summer tour for 2024 in my little Ford Ranger, and I’m 52,
Also I was strangely on pharmaceutical grade MDA,or MDMA or both ganja of course. Traveled from Stockholm Sweden The only song I remember of the four day run was the last One at seven in the morning light. Wading in the velvet Sea
Saw Alligators though 🍄🐊🐊🐊🍄🐟🐟🐟🍄🌹🍄🌹🍄🧬🍄
This is the first time I've ever heard Sand live. Wow
Kieran Butler same here. Life changing doesn't begin to cover it..
Tremendous. Tyvm. Great video too. Omg msg 15/16 only 3 days away!
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!
Every time I hear this bass line something involuntarily takes over my booty.
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
At 15:00 time and space is altered and Frank Zappa is being channeled thru Trey.
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...
I love these guys. Hairs standing endwise.
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 there, second row and I swear to god Trey looked right at me!
Wow! Just wow!!!!!
Till sundown till sunrise folks what a time
Oh how amazing... Very mighty like Floyd;)
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
this at .75 speed is nothing short of magical
So goddamn good
WOW such shroom many trip very jam yes
yes, my dear muppet
Tossed
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! 😎🏆❤️
I was there. EPIC! Longest jam EVER!
>Longest jam EVER!
Not by a long shot.
i got a full chub around the 7 minute mark

Round 7:07 you can see Trey thinking about what herbs and spices he wants to throw in the stew
