An apostle has passed and now we're left with amazing music to spread. I really hope that one day a band forms called Friends of Phil that has a roving lineup of all past Phil-n-Friends players. Phil, I feel you were one of the greatest bass players EVER and I became an organ donor because of you.
That's easily forgotten now, he'd just gotten a new 25 year lease on life here. I'd seen him the previous July seemingly healthy with TOO then he spent a rough 3 months in and out of surgery and procedures and such after collapsing in September. More of us should probably also be thanking Cody and spreading that message when we're leaving our thanks to Phil.
Can I have phil on bass too? Fuck it if we are playing this game I'm going all out. Gimme...let's see...oh john molo on drums. Way underrated. Keys? Would have to be page McConnell. As good on the clav as piano as hammond's be the dudes got versatility and he can sing. That's my perfect lineup. Imagine if that actually happened
Don't have to imagine it. Here they are and I'll have it forever, but Yeah, the way they feed each other and it's their ability to truly listen to the other players. It's their total lack of the biggest spiritual block, ego, that sets them apart and above. Dancing with paradox quite nicely. Peace
Been my belief for years now that Page is the glue in Phish. Fishman and Mike are the engine that pushes and Trey captains the ship. Page’s role is often very underrated but without his mastery, the bands jams just wouldn’t gel nearly as well as they do.
@@gmcsrbosavl6964 Page is the wizzard; fishman and gordon are the glue and co-captains; Trey is the blind genius. I think Page is very well respected and he's not shy when trying to sing that high note that he didn't rehearse. As far as underrated, Fishman is the Rodney Dangerfield of drumming.
This is in the top 5 best shows I've ever heard in 25 years of listening to live shows. I've been listening to this show for a year now, and it really never gets old. Great group of Friends, much love to Phil! Thanks for the post 🙏
This should be an official release. There’s zero doubt that the quality is beyond good enough to be fully mastered and released officially. I imagine the logistics of it will probably ever prevent that from ever happening. These guys have record company contracts where anything that is released has to be under the umbrella of who they’re with and we’ve got a few big names in this lineup. It’s fantastic that it’s here on UA-cam for us to enjoy as it was a few of the legends of all time performing at or close to their peak.
@@kevinp23231 They didn’t perform Phish songs during that however. They were also not allowed to perform under that Grateful Dead moniker for said contract reasons. It’s similar to Crosseyed Jams being split on official Phish releases so they don’t have to pay Sire records (or whoever owns the Talking Heads Masters).
@@dmonshaw Phil needed a guitarist for some gigs w Molo, Robert Randolph, Karl Denson and some other badasses. I obliged and did two shows, and headed to the bahamas for a few weeks. Once I got to the bahamas they called me back to Marin to do two more shows. Was the coolest month of my life. If you google "gelbuda lesh" a bunch of it is up on youtube I believe.
@@javierjalisco17 Not sure what you’re trying to say. I listen to Phil Shows almost exclusively. The John K. , Jackie G , Russo, Chimenti , shows we’re the best in my opinion.
My best friend at the time was working for Phish and got to see this entire run. He said it was one of the greatest live musical experiences he’s ever had, and he saw some incredible shows in his life. I’m still jealous 25 years later 😢
I think this is the pinnacle of this music. This run is as good as it has ever been played, by anyone, ever. This is Miles’ second great quintet, but for heads. A group of players who are all each master musicians: as good listeners as they are players of their instruments. Their ability to convey the density of ideas that are converging at once and yet not step on each other is miraculous.
Miraculous?Clearly!...I more or less look at it extraordinary wizardry breaching the spirit world. Angels and devils both dance at dead shows my friend.
I love how Trey is totally leaning over watching Kimock playing and smiling. Seeing an amazing musician getting joy from watching another musician play is awesome. Kimock never ceases to amaze me. He is by far my favorite person to play Jerry's parts. There is no one better. Went to my first Zero show in '92 and been a fan ever since. Wish they were still playing.
In my opinion, the best post-grateful dead live concert. All three nights, but this night is really on fire. Phil crushes it. These 5 guys had FOUR DAYS of practice together. FOUR DAYS. I really, really, really wish Steve, Trey, and Page would do more together.
I'll give this band alot of credit for doing so well in such a short span of time, yet I've found with most versions of the Grateful Dead and post-Grateful Dead that years 2 and 3 of any combo is the peak as it takes a while to develop the group consciousness within any set of musicians. With this in mind, Phil and Friends aka The Q in 2002 is the peak of post-GD accomplishments. archive.org/details/paf2002-08-31.149045.fob.schoeps.ackerman.noel.flac24/Phil%26Friends.2002-08-31.s2t01.flac
@@InService77 to be fair this was 15 years earlier and all members were either in their prime or at least active. In just a year Trey as we saw him in this video was even gone.
@@InService77 I'm partial to The Other Ones from fall 2002. The Cap Center show had an incredible setlist, but the Cleveland show was even better. I was on the floor, and the energy for that St. Stephen was like nothing I'd ever experienced. And it continued sky high all the way to the end. I had a recording of that once, but I lost it. Would like to hear it again. The Furthur shows in 2010 were pretty hot as well.
I really enjoyed the Grateful Dead reunion shows in 2002 at alpine valley with the other ones with Jimmy Herring. They had that psychedelic twang blasting pretty hard during those shows as well.
this is wonderful stuff. my god, the talent in that room! typing through tears. im an old deadhead and i love phish and anything trey does is a must. . but my touring stopped 30 years ago. ive yet to see dead and co, but have 4 on the lawn when they get to phoenix in October. well over 200 dead shows but that was 30 years ago too. planets are lined up for me finally! gonna finally catch a real live phish show 3 days before dead and co. have been fighting a myriad of health issues and the pandemic. i, like many, were terrified that the music was stopped. if i can swing it i'll hop to L.A. and catch the Halloween show(s). this show has me twitchin , dance like nobodys lookin peace
Dead & Co. can't cook like Phil & Trey. It's a simple fact. If you actually got to see them, you'll know what I mean. I'm also a Pig Pen era Grateful Dead freak, so we should be on the same wavelength. As for this show, even Donna was good. She of course was the band member who most fans (including me) loved to hate.
@@DrMitchMedina '71--'72, Dead w/ both Pig & Keith were the sharpest, crispiest shows. Nothing against Micky but with Billy's jazz chops as lone drummer the band could turn on a dime. Pig somehow is overlooked as a truly great and maybe the last authentic blues singer.
@@docwill184 Some of the band members, Weir in particular, felt that the double drumming got in the way. However, I'm a Mickey Hart fan through and through. I love his off-beat syncopations, and miss him when they aren't there. It is true that in the 71-72 era, Kreutzmann sometimes managed play both Billy and Mickey licks at the same time on one kit.
Thanks Phil and friends for your integrity, energy and skill playing the songs like they're supposed to sound, inventive, up to speed and true to the original.
Dude Kimocks face during that Franklin's is classic. Look how many times he smiles. At one point its ear to ear. Like "dude we're doing something legendary".
RIP Phil 🙏 was thinking a few months ago how many different musicians played with Phil and Friends. And Phil and the Terrapin Family Band Seen them multiple times Capitol Theater, Brooklyn Bowl , Central Park , peach 🍑 festival. Amazing 🙏
You can see how happy Phil is. Even he is thinking "holy shit look at this amazing crew that wanted to come play with me!" And they all fucking killed it.
These shows are amazing. Worked so well. Some of my favorite shows ever. Worked so, so well. John Molo is the platform from which great things happen. Steve and Trey compliment each other perfectly. I know it's just riffs built from modes but with these two it's like they engaged in a constant deep conversation. And the differing tones and playing styles allow them to solo simultaneously and still be heard you can turn your attention from one to the other and back it try to take it all in. Lots of fun. I'm tripping
I could've done without Donna personally. In my opinion she ruined hundreds of unbelievable Dead shows in the late 70s with her caterwauling. I can't even listen to The Music Never Stopped or Playing in the Band without expecting to hear her chime in with a misplaced howl. She wasn't too bad in this one though. Far more reserved than she was in the 70s.
Can’t believe this exists on youtube - thank you. This show’s been a go to on etree for me for years. The Help -> Slip -> Franklin’s here is the best version of the trio I’ve encountered. This “ad hoc organization” (I think that’s what Phil calls em) had something special going that night.
I went through a little bit of effort to find all the pieces and make a show out of it. I had some help from some friends on Facebook collecting the pieces but I have to agree with you this is one of the best shows I've ever seen bar none
I felt so lucky to discover these shows, amazing playing, I think this is the best improvisation and jamming that I've heard, simply phenomenal and truly special.

3:35 Trey turns it up. Specifically remember begging my parents to go to this. They said no. My first Phish show was that summer at Great Woods, I was 17.
My biggest regret in life was not skipping friday and monday's school days in high school and heading to Big Cypress nye 2000. Sometimes it's easier than asking for forgiveness than for permission. I wouldn't blame my kids if they end up pulling that stunt. I'll probably just let them go.
I 100% stole my dad’s credit card, bought 2 tickets off eBay for 2/20/03 (maybe a week maybe less before the show). I also bought myself a train ticket with his card. This was a school night as well. I skipped school, took the train to Chicago, and saw my first Phish show…… they never even realized I’d done that 😂 till I paid my dad back a few years later in my 20’s. Like the guy above me said? Sometimes it’s better to just GO/DO IT and ask for forgiveness later ❤ (that concert changed my life btw)
I've only watched 10 minutes so far and am thoroughly impressed! Not easily impressed or inspired either. These guys are so dialed in, just channeling the music effortlessly and playing with great skill. Awesome. Going to watch (listen) more when not distracted.
@@wilson23954 check out the other two nights of this run as well. Superb from start to finish each night. Really a treat to get to watch each show all these years later.
Just casually listening to this show, getting a few minor things done, mostly wasting time, and then all of a sudden, I'm just blown away, shivering, mouth agape in awe and gratitude I ever got to hear this Fire on the Mountain, and that I can just go back an listen again as often as I want. What a show, all 3 of these were just magical! Thank you guys for letting us in on this even all these years later.
I burned .wav files of this onto CDs and literally wore the film out on multiple rounds of discs back in college. This Franklins is so soaring, and the Scarlet Begonias contains a couple of my favorite minutes of music, ever. What a great run this was.
RIP Phil. Had to come back to this one.
Likewise
On repeat it’s so good

Phil on Wish. All of it
This performance a keeper forever. Thank you players and techs making it possible 25 years ago 🎉❤
3:35 Trey turns it up. Specifically remember begging my parents to go to this. They said no. My first Phish show was that summer at Great Woods, I was 17.
My biggest regret in life was not skipping friday and monday's school days in high school and heading to Big Cypress nye 2000. Sometimes it's easier than asking for forgiveness than for permission. I wouldn't blame my kids if they end up pulling that stunt. I'll probably just let them go.
I 100% stole my dad’s credit card, bought 2 tickets off eBay for 2/20/03 (maybe a week maybe less before the show). I also bought myself a train ticket with his card. This was a school night as well. I skipped school, took the train to Chicago, and saw my first Phish show…… they never even realized I’d done that 😂 till I paid my dad back a few years later in my 20’s. Like the guy above me said? Sometimes it’s better to just GO/DO IT and ask for forgiveness later ❤ (that concert changed my life btw)
One of the best jam band live shows of all time. Absolute peak Trey/Phil/Kimock/Molo
Uh paidge mc ?????
One of my favorite shows of any band of all time.
Some of the best post Dead Phil Leshing
This is wonderful music and I'm so thankful phil invited Donna to sing along...I always felt that she was treated poorly and snubbed by others
This is where dreams are made. Jerry, we miss you. Phil, we love you.
Wow this is amazing. Kimock crushing it... so is every last person on the stage
This is The Goods.
I've only watched 10 minutes so far and am thoroughly impressed! Not easily impressed or inspired either. These guys are so dialed in, just channeling the music effortlessly and playing with great skill. Awesome. Going to watch (listen) more when not distracted.
@@wilson23954 check out the other two nights of this run as well. Superb from start to finish each night. Really a treat to get to watch each show all these years later.
I was able to be at this show and it was awesome. The review in the paper went "on a scale of one to ten, this was an eleven!"
I couldn't agree more! I wasn't there but I've watched these videos numerous times by now and I just can't get enough
Fare Thee Well, Phil. We love you more than words can tell.
Every night they walk on stage, having no idea how the music will develop. What a show!
This is still my favorite Slipnot of any performance I’ve heard
Just casually listening to this show, getting a few minor things done, mostly wasting time, and then all of a sudden, I'm just blown away, shivering, mouth agape in awe and gratitude I ever got to hear this Fire on the Mountain, and that I can just go back an listen again as often as I want. What a show, all 3 of these were just magical! Thank you guys for letting us in on this even all these years later.
I burned .wav files of this onto CDs and literally wore the film out on multiple rounds of discs back in college. This Franklins is so soaring, and the Scarlet Begonias contains a couple of my favorite minutes of music, ever. What a great run this was.
Same dude. The holy grail of archive back in the day. Burned it up, as they say.
Yep . I remember burning these shows off archive and they were without a doubt the most played CDs in my old CD book . I miss burning cds
Jehovah’s favorite choir gained a new band member this week. I’ll keep searching for the sound Phil. We’ll all miss you King.
Rip Phil
The latter half of that eleven is some of the best musical improvisation ive heard in a long time
I was in 2 of the 3 of these nights. What an AMAZING moment of history
God when page sings 🙌
stella blue on pedal steel is perfection. complete with guitar pick in his mouth
Man, at like 3:35, the way Streve and Trey so subtly trade places. That shit is seamless. I love this run of music!
Stella Blue - no lyrics was magical
These 3 days were pretty magical.
Holy Fuck, this is fantastic!!! Yay! Didn’t realize Page was on keys til 12 minutes in, heheh.
Trey is such a creative and groovy source
when the recreation becomes the dominant. holy shit i can never get enough of this show
What a band this is! They sound so good. Kimock is a personal fav for me. Trey is a guitar genius.
Some of my favorite shows to listen too
This was the best Phil&Phriends ever IMHO. The newness was magic. My old Roomate was there and I’m still kinda jealous. :)
