Can you please react to Brian Wilson presents SMiLE the whole album next? I have been asking forever, and I can’t believe you haven’t listened to it yet
Jamel, that is Widespread Panic playing in the shop you visited in Haight district. You need to take a listen to Space Wrangler -.Live from Austin City Limits or Chilly Water - Live. Make sure Mikey Houser(RIP) is on lead guitar ua-cam.com/video/BJUriJqTG9M/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/SRYoKUu13XU/v-deo.html
That is why we go to the shows every chance we get, and as many as we can. Pure joy. You totally get it, and I can't wait until you get the chance to see them live. You will definitely need lots of water and maybe some oxygen! Lol. Love you, man. Keep doing Phish songs!
I’m so happy you went from GD to Phish. I was always a stubborn dead head but after watching a few live phish shows (I was too young to attend a lot) and watching the live stream Fare Thee well I was smitten. Trey actually plays with the Grateful Dead and he is sooooo amazingly talented. The love for the fans is unmatched I think that is what it boils down to for me. Much love!
6:45 - 7:10 you literally predicting the salsa dance. It's moments like these that are why you have the best music reaction channel on all of youtube, hands down.
Jamel! You absolutely made our day! 2 longtime Phish and Dead fans in this house... my husband was at this show! It is beyond joyous to watch you listen so carefully and with such an open mind and then have reactions that we relate to so completely! Makes us remember the first time we ever heard this song in 1993 :) We sincerely hope we can dance with you at the next Phish or Dead show on the West Coast, next time it's safe to gather. Much love and thanks for being an amazing human being. Great choice by the way!! (Also, to explain the lyrics... this song is part of Trey's college thesis, a fairy tale suite of songs called Gamehendge. Just look up Gamehendge and you'll be good!) Thanks again my friend! P.S. We DIED laughing when you made the Knight Rider comparison, you are TOTALLY right on and we never made that connection in 25+ years :D
I can’t quit you Jamal! Your enthusiasm makes me so happy and it sends me into my Phish dancing. Everyone and anyone is a great dancer while Phish is jamming….
“The Helping Friendly Book it seemed, possessed the ancient secrets of eternal joy and never ending splendor... The trick was to surrender to the flow.” And my god, did that entire performance do just that to you, Jamel. You’ve got IT!
This has got to be one of my favorite reaction videos of all time. I have said it in the comments before and I will say it again. I can't wait to meet you at a Phish show! I might even send you a miracle! Thank you for enjoying myself as much as you do. My all time favorite band playing one of my all time favorite songs reaction by my favorite reactor. Jemal, you have such a great energy! In line with Phish Phamily and surrounding community. Glad to have you with us
I’ve been a fan long enough that I was at actually at this show, and yet I still might never be able to unhear that new-to-my-brain Knight Rider connection.
In all the years I've been going to see the boys live I've only sat down 3 times while they were playing and that was only because I absolutely had to because they completely broke me. If they don't make you move, you probably don't have a soul.
“Sounds like Knight Rider!!” 😆😂 I’ll never hear Punch again without thinking of that, thanks Jamal! Glad you listened to some gem mint Phish, their recent stuff is good but their stuff from the 90’s (92-98ish) is where it’s at. This is the music that hooks ppl
I've been a Phish fanatic for about 25 years. Watching you react to them always gives me so much joy. This is by far the best video yet from you. I hope to see you out there some time and boogie. Love ya!
My favorite Phish opener by far....When they kick it off with PYITE, things gonna be lit.... Edited to add... I knew Jamel was gonna flip his shit when The Landlady started....
I'm taking my 15-year-old daughter to her first Phish show in July. She has no idea what she's in for. I'm going to make her watch your reaction to them to give her a little taste. Your reactions to Phish are the greatest videos I've ever seen. You kill me, my man. I LOVE that you get "it". Not everyone has a high "Music IQ". Thank you for making my day!
Alright, so if you want a more general overview of the story this song is part of, listen to The Lizards. Basically it's a fantasy world (Gamehendge) from Trey's thesis, The Man Who Stepped Into Yesterday. Bunch of related songs.... 🤣
this song is part of the Gamehendge story, Trey's musical thesis for college. other songs that go along w/ it, Wilson, The Lizards, Tela, AC/DC Bag, Divided Sky, Colonel Forbin, Fly Famous Mockingbird, The Sloth, Possum, Llama, McGrupp and the Watchful Hosemaster, the Man Who Stepped Into Yesterday
So glad you got around to “Punch You In The Eye”!! I think I mentioned it a comment a few weeks ago!! Such a fun, groovy song with one of my favorite, funky intros!!
This was quite likely my favorite reaction yet. So glad you chose this track. For those of us that have enjoyed this band for decades, it's a special moment to get to watch your friends hear this music, and absorb these songs, for the first time. The fact that your ear picks up on the best components of Phish almost immediately, is why these videos are so outstanding and worthy of our time. Many thanks for continuing to pursue these Phish tracks.
Your jam reactions are prescription-strength for the soul. Dance, dance, dance brother 🤘🏻💪🏻 SO happy to find you, and to have you in the Dead and Phish fandoms.
Oh hell yes!!! Still got some big ones to get to. Slave to the Traffic Light (there's a decent version from this past new year's eve on their YT channel), Divided Sky, David Bowie, Reba, and more! Love these reactions.
Thank you for doing some “old” Phish. I’m glad they’re still touring and I’m super happy that Trey is sober, but to my ears (and a lot of others), Phish was easily at their peak in the mid to late 90s. Trey in particular was on a different level back in those days.
I know I saw most of my Phish shows back when they were mostly a New England/Northeast tour band, maybe late 93 to the 2nd Limestone show (Lemonwheel) and feel like their early-mid 90s stuff was their most creative. They had vacuum solos and playing along with the bouncing ball and barbershop moments. The chess game was a cool tour (almost lost myself in that Maze but they pulled it back) but around the second Limestone show I started feeling like the scene was an excuse for a party and not really about the band or the music so much as before.
"what great joy they bring" Yup, you got it. You now know the secret. It's about the joy you experience listening to their music. And when you're there and a part of it, it's... Hard to explain... It's life changing. Hope to see you at a show!
Love your energy and how you just allow the music. From a hard-core phish head. This song actually includes an old song called "The Landlady" that was merged with this song. It is basically all the salsa guitar and paino parts at the middle and end.
Worlds best funk band! I've watched many a Jamal reaction and have never seen this much energy/connection to a song. You saw Dead & Co live at the Hollywood Bowl, now go see a Phish show!!!!!!!
PYITE is easily one of my favorite Phish tune. Love the salsa bit and Santana nod. I believe the salsa portion of the song is actually a separate tune called The Landlady. Such a great tune. Lots going on. Trey's rapid-fire lyrics is very much like rap. So cool.
Love the joy that they bring. It’s the best part about them. Since you love the funky phish, give Sand a try (10/26/18) would be my suggestion. Also to see their transition ability at work you should try the 12/29/18 Tweezer. One of the best performances of recent years. Thanks for everything!
I had tickets to this past New Years Eve Phish show at Madison Square Garden which was unfortunately canceled due to Omicron. Would have been my 68th Phish show, now rescheduled to April and I can’t wait!!
Love these earlier ones, especially a Gamehendge song with a little Landlady thrown in! This is the era and the live sound I knew and experienced. You should check out an early live "Llama" and "Divided Sky" for another small piece of the story. Thanks for this one as always!
Bro - I am a hands-down metal head. I love brutal music. But Phish is my guilty pleasure. They are so much fun to listen to and Trey has the sickest guitar tone. I got bit by them in 2002 and fell so hard, I took a drive with some friends from Houston to Denver in 2003 to watch them play. It was the closest they were coming. Love your videos, sir!
That was great my man! Sssooooo damn funny! You crack me the hell up! I know the feeling your are feeling listening to this song the first time! Such a classic PHISH song… will look forward to meeting you next Summer tour at the Forum or here in San Diego… you missed a couple doozies in October…. :)
You found the Phish Groove! Wonderful! Spreading the universal language. My favorite years were 95-97. Right after Jerry died. They helped keep the air light, in spite of incredible heaviness. 2000 was a fun tour. They linked up with Bonnie Raitt! One of my heros. In Tennessee, I think, could have been GA. You Enjoy Yourself, My Friend. Namaste'
Amen, this is a perfect reaction to the best band in the world. What I would do to trade all the chompers on the floor for you Jamel! Thank you for dancin' and smilin'.
Been following this band for 25 years. There is nothing like a Phish show. Love your videos!!! You feel the music and don't just hear it. Hope to see you at a show. Check out Billy Strings for some more amazing jamming.
“Aaaah No No No No No … No! I can’t leave my brothers hanging! I can’t leave my brothers while they’re grooving like that!!!!” - LOVE your reaction and the dancing!!!
Yo, the Santana connection is legit, Phish toured with them and Trey has been open about Carlos' influence. I never thought about Bone Thugs, but it totally makes sense with those songs where Trey sings fast but melodically. Beautiful!
JOY! You nailed it! Thank you Jamel! Funny how you mentioned Santana. One of Phish's early big breaks was going on tour with Santana. One night after watching them play, Santana told them it was like they were a hose spraying musical water on their audience who were like flowers. I'm a bit biased towards 93-95 Phish because I'm old enough to have discovered them in person during that time. I absolutely love who they have become but I have still to this day never been so blown away by a band or a guitarist as I was by young and hungry Trey and the boys. They were a raging forest fire playing for love, joy and food. From 1990-1995, they played 630 shows! 630! Before they EARNED the right to play this 2-night New Years Eve run at Madison Square Garden, a spot they now hold in perpetuity. PLEASE do yourself a favor and watch and see why Gen-Xers got hooked and now can't wait to take their grandkids to see this band. Here are some recommendations, although the camera work is not always great and often too Trey-centric, these are ABSOLUTE bangers.

Hey Jamel, if you want an exceptionally awesome song I dont THINK you have reacted to, please allow me to nominate " Hot Cherie" by HardLine.
Can you do Mother Love Bone-Crown of thorns
Please react to infinite source rap battles
Jamel, that is Widespread Panic playing in the shop you visited in Haight district. You need to take a listen to Space Wrangler -.Live from Austin City Limits or Chilly Water - Live. Make sure Mikey Houser(RIP) is on lead guitar

My man what you did is: “Surrender to the flow” That’s how we Phish 🐠
Thank you for this sir🎸
That is why we go to the shows every chance we get, and as many as we can. Pure joy. You totally get it, and I can't wait until you get the chance to see them live. You will definitely need lots of water and maybe some oxygen! Lol. Love you, man. Keep doing Phish songs!
Yes!
And some mushrooms
Maybe a cold camelback…..
I’m so happy you went from GD to Phish. I was always a stubborn dead head but after watching a few live phish shows (I was too young to attend a lot) and watching the live stream Fare Thee well I was smitten. Trey actually plays with the Grateful Dead and he is sooooo amazingly talented. The love for the fans is unmatched I think that is what it boils down to for me. Much love!
OMG youre doing punch you in the eye. I havent even watched this yet and Im excited.
6:45 - 7:10 you literally predicting the salsa dance.
It's moments like these that are why you have the best music reaction channel on all of youtube, hands down.
I thought that as well. I forgot about my troubles ... briefly.
Jamel! You absolutely made our day! 2 longtime Phish and Dead fans in this house... my husband was at this show! It is beyond joyous to watch you listen so carefully and with such an open mind and then have reactions that we relate to so completely! Makes us remember the first time we ever heard this song in 1993 :) We sincerely hope we can dance with you at the next Phish or Dead show on the West Coast, next time it's safe to gather.

P.S. We DIED laughing when you made the Knight Rider comparison, you are TOTALLY right on and we never made that connection in 25+ years :D
I was there too!
Dancing along is some next level reaction content. And phish is one of those bands you can’t avoid dancing to.
hahaha we're gonna see Brother Jemel groovin' at a show soon.
just jammed "Gumbo" on my way home....Phish has some talent.
The PYITE, Gumbo from Grand Rapids 11/11/98 is killer. And the Haley’s Comet. Great show!!
I love that song!
I don't think I've seen you so excited before. So much fun watching YOU have fun!! The happiness is contagious and needed. Thanks again Jamel!
Phish is the best live band you will ever see. ❤️
In the top for sure...go see Gogol Bordello.
Widespread panic for me!
Not even close
I can’t quit you Jamal! Your enthusiasm makes me so happy and it sends me into my Phish dancing. Everyone and anyone is a great dancer while Phish is jamming….
Phish somehow fell off my radar though I really loved them back in the day... thanks for reminding, this is great music! ❤️
“The Helping Friendly Book it seemed, possessed the ancient secrets of eternal joy and never ending splendor...
The trick was to surrender to the flow.”
And my god, did that entire performance do just that to you, Jamel. You’ve got IT!
Amen
Surrender to the flow 🍄🐟🍄
“Sounds like Night Rider!” You made me spit out my cereal laughing 🤣
This has got to be one of my favorite reaction videos of all time. I have said it in the comments before and I will say it again. I can't wait to meet you at a Phish show! I might even send you a miracle! Thank you for enjoying myself as much as you do. My all time favorite band playing one of my all time favorite songs reaction by my favorite reactor. Jemal, you have such a great energy! In line with Phish Phamily and surrounding community. Glad to have you with us
You want Phish Phunk? Find yourself a version of "Wolfman's Brother." You will NOT be disappointed!
2nd
I suggest 10/20/10! Listen to that whole show...it's killer!
I’ve been a fan long enough that I was at actually at this show, and yet I still might never be able to unhear that new-to-my-brain Knight Rider connection.
Jamel bringing the heat today! 2 Dead songs AND Phish! wuuuuuutttt
Great reaction anything that includes u dancing makes my day❤✌
🕺🏾
In all the years I've been going to see the boys live I've only sat down 3 times while they were playing and that was only because I absolutely had to because they completely broke me. If they don't make you move, you probably don't have a soul.
I think only song I’ve sat for in 6 shows was mountains in the mist and that was because I love that song so much I just had to take it in
This was at msg 4/20 and I tell you what I popped up so fast for Reba bc that is literally my favorite song and I had to dance
“Sounds like Knight Rider!!” 😆😂
I’ll never hear Punch again without thinking of that, thanks Jamal! Glad you listened to some gem mint Phish, their recent stuff is good but their stuff from the 90’s (92-98ish) is where it’s at. This is the music that hooks ppl
I've been a Phish fanatic for about 25 years. Watching you react to them always gives me so much joy. This is by far the best video yet from you. I hope to see you out there some time and boogie. Love ya!
I see phish I click I'm simple
My favorite Phish opener by far....When they kick it off with PYITE, things gonna be lit.... Edited to add... I knew Jamel was gonna flip his shit when The Landlady started....
No kidding. I was curious how he was gonna do the samba sitting.
I'm taking my 15-year-old daughter to her first Phish show in July. She has no idea what she's in for. I'm going to make her watch your reaction to them to give her a little taste. Your reactions to Phish are the greatest videos I've ever seen. You kill me, my man. I LOVE that you get "it". Not everyone has a high "Music IQ". Thank you for making my day!
Thank you for more Phish!
I will never forget this show as long as I live. Such a great new years run.
One of my favourite old-school Trey compositions! So fun.
Alright, so if you want a more general overview of the story this song is part of, listen to The Lizards. Basically it's a fantasy world (Gamehendge) from Trey's thesis, The Man Who Stepped Into Yesterday. Bunch of related songs.... 🤣
But Lizards are a race of people practically extinct from doing things smart people don’t do!!
He could do the first set from the June 26, 1994 "Gamehoist" show, or just do the whole show. Its a real solid one if you can find a good audio of it
The nipple trinity
Fee, the sloth, punch you in the eye
@@gwimyeon "the triple nipple"
Please please listen to The Lizard it’s personally one of my favorites I know every word haha
Never noticed the Night Rider comparison....LOL! Love your reactions Jamel! First Phish in 88. in Townsend Vermont.
this song is part of the Gamehendge story, Trey's musical thesis for college. other songs that go along w/ it, Wilson, The Lizards, Tela, AC/DC Bag, Divided Sky, Colonel Forbin, Fly Famous Mockingbird, The Sloth, Possum, Llama, McGrupp and the Watchful Hosemaster, the Man Who Stepped Into Yesterday
Squirming Coil as well 😁
Yes sir! Fantastic song! I know the more you listen to Phish the more you'll love them. Thanks for the reaction!
Jamel... we love ya Brother! Love seeing you gettin into the groove with Phish! It's a party that never disappoints!
✌🏾🧔🏾♂️✌🏾
Hung out with Phish backstage in Nashville circa 2000 and it was cool experience.
This reaction was the best!!! Phish is such an amazing experience.
one of the best reaction EVER!!!!! :)
Phish were consistently great in the fall of 1995.
Iwt … tough to top !! 💜
P.S - great call, he sounded JUST like Carlos Santana in that lick he played.
It's funny, I said the same thing as him when he hit that lick.
The Landlady (this standalone tune within PYITE that's mamba-y), was written by Trey as an homage to Carlos. So there you have it.
this was the opening song of the first Phish show I ever went to...... still such a banger!!!
Loved loved this!! Welcome to the phamily! Slave to the Traffic Light or divided sky
So glad you got around to “Punch You In The Eye”!! I think I mentioned it a comment a few weeks ago!! Such a fun, groovy song with one of my favorite, funky intros!!
This show is absolute fire from start to finish, one of their best ever! Dancing right along with you :-D
The "Drowned" cover from this show introduced me to The Who. Thank you Phish!
love it. so much fun watching you groove and dance .
Phish are absolutely funktastic!!!!
Can't wait to see you at a show, Jamel! 😊
This was quite likely my favorite reaction yet.
So glad you chose this track.
For those of us that have enjoyed this band for decades, it's a special moment to get to watch your friends hear this music, and absorb these songs, for the first time. The fact that your ear picks up on the best components of Phish almost immediately, is why these videos are so outstanding and worthy of our time.
Many thanks for continuing to pursue these Phish tracks.
Your jam reactions are prescription-strength for the soul. Dance, dance, dance brother 🤘🏻💪🏻 SO happy to find you, and to have you in the Dead and Phish fandoms.
I’m enjoying your journey with Phish and the Dead. Glad you’re digging it so much! You picked a great version of this song!
Oh hell yes!!! Still got some big ones to get to. Slave to the Traffic Light (there's a decent version from this past new year's eve on their YT channel), Divided Sky, David Bowie, Reba, and more! Love these reactions.
Scary Bowie. 12/29/94!
It’s a song you can’t not get up. The first time I heard it was the Clifford ball, it was amazing!! So fun to see you enjoy it.
Thank you for doing some “old” Phish. I’m glad they’re still touring and I’m super happy that Trey is sober, but to my ears (and a lot of others), Phish was easily at their peak in the mid to late 90s. Trey in particular was on a different level back in those days.
I know I saw most of my Phish shows back when they were mostly a New England/Northeast tour band, maybe late 93 to the 2nd Limestone show (Lemonwheel) and feel like their early-mid 90s stuff was their most creative. They had vacuum solos and playing along with the bouncing ball and barbershop moments. The chess game was a cool tour (almost lost myself in that Maze but they pulled it back) but around the second Limestone show I started feeling like the scene was an excuse for a party and not really about the band or the music so much as before.
Phucked up phish rulezz
Think it was just 1 peak, know what I mean? They're killing it these days!
@@daveryan2148 ^^^^^^^^^ 1000%
I have been seeing Phish since the 80s. This past summer and fall shows were easily among their best shows. They just crushed it.
Glad to see the music move you bro. Do it to it.
Anothet great reaction.
Never heard of Phish before but now I'm a fan! Will have to check out more of their music.
"what great joy they bring"
Yup, you got it. You now know the secret. It's about the joy you experience listening to their music. And when you're there and a part of it, it's... Hard to explain... It's life changing. Hope to see you at a show!
Chalk Dust Torture live 10/21/95 Pershing Auditorium next please!! There is live video Jamel.
I was at that show. First time I saw them live. Damn good show.
Love your energy and how you just allow the music. From a hard-core phish head. This song actually includes an old song called "The Landlady" that was merged with this song. It is basically all the salsa guitar and paino parts at the middle and end.
You are full of the greatest and most infectious joy!
PROTECT THIS MAN!!!😁
Worlds best funk band! I've watched many a Jamal reaction and have never seen this much energy/connection to a song. You saw Dead & Co live at the Hollywood Bowl, now go see a Phish show!!!!!!!
Best one yet!! Love the dance moves and energy!
I was at the 12/9/95 show in Albany NY when I was going g to college in Vermont. Was one of many, but that show was amazing.
Hands down my favorite phish song!! Thank you buddy 🙌🏻
PYITE is easily one of my favorite Phish tune. Love the salsa bit and Santana nod. I believe the salsa portion of the song is actually a separate tune called The Landlady. Such a great tune. Lots going on. Trey's rapid-fire lyrics is very much like rap. So cool.
My new thing that I say is now "I hope everything goes smooby"
My all time favorite Phish song !
Love the joy that they bring. It’s the best part about them. Since you love the funky phish, give Sand a try (10/26/18) would be my suggestion. Also to see their transition ability at work you should try the 12/29/18 Tweezer. One of the best performances of recent years. Thanks for everything!
2nded that Tweezer!
Holy moly i love this. I needed this.
I had tickets to this past New Years Eve Phish show at Madison Square Garden which was unfortunately canceled due to Omicron. Would have been my 68th Phish show, now rescheduled to April and I can’t wait!!
Love these earlier ones, especially a Gamehendge song with a little Landlady thrown in! This is the era and the live sound I knew and experienced. You should check out an early live "Llama" and "Divided Sky" for another small piece of the story. Thanks for this one as always!
isn't it only called Landlady when it appears by itself?
Jamel, it is great to enjoy these jams with you, especially during times when we are all kinda stuck at home. You help some of us get through these tough times when we can't all dance together in real time. Thankyou. Much love.
One of my favorite phish songs, nice job here Jamal
Phunkadelic with a pH... Jamal you spread.good.vibes and knowledge. You have a ❤️ of Gold. Open mind. Expand our minds
There you go! 95! Height of their talents, great year!! Still had their evil sound :D
Yessssss! 🤟🏻
The salsa part of the song is actually referred to as the Landlady for what it’s worth if no one has said it.
Now we’re talking! I was there, both nights, it was awesome. :D
Phish make me happy and watching your reaction to this Punch made me joyous. Loved it. ❤
Yeah buddy! That's what a phish concert is like for 3 and a half hours. Straight dancing Phun! ❤
Bro - I am a hands-down metal head. I love brutal music. But Phish is my guilty pleasure. They are so much fun to listen to and Trey has the sickest guitar tone. I got bit by them in 2002 and fell so hard, I took a drive with some friends from Houston to Denver in 2003 to watch them play. It was the closest they were coming. Love your videos, sir!
Very nice! This is from my touring days, when i was just a kid in my 20s
That was great my man! Sssooooo damn funny! You crack me the hell up! I know the feeling your are feeling listening to this song the first time! Such a classic PHISH song… will look forward to meeting you next Summer tour at the Forum or here in San Diego… you missed a couple doozies in October…. :)
You found the Phish Groove! Wonderful! Spreading the universal language. My favorite years were 95-97. Right after Jerry died. They helped keep the air light, in spite of incredible heaviness. 2000 was a fun tour. They linked up with Bonnie Raitt! One of my heros. In Tennessee, I think, could have been GA.

Amen, this is a perfect reaction to the best band in the world.
What I would do to trade all the chompers on the floor for you Jamel!

Been following this band for 25 years. There is nothing like a Phish show. Love your videos!!! You feel the music and don't just hear it. Hope to see you at a show. Check out Billy Strings for some more amazing jamming.
This is by far the best reaction I have seen. Much props for whoever sent you that link. That was a fire PYITE! Can't wait to see you at a show :)
I was at these 2 NYE shows in ‘95. So epic…
Haha! I was so excited for you to get to the “Landlady” breakdown. You should also check out Reba from this show as well!
I was at this show and the night before. A treasured memory for sure! Watching you react to it was very cool!
Omg amazing reaction - instant subscribe. One of my fav Phish songs - legendary funk baby!
This is pure bliss.
“Aaaah No No No No No … No! I can’t leave my brothers hanging! I can’t leave my brothers while they’re grooving like that!!!!” - LOVE your reaction and the dancing!!!
Thank you for bringing the same kind of joy that the music brings to people. Watching this made my night.
I got turned onto Phish last year. I totally love this band! Been trying to get their vinyl releases. Some of them are pretty pricey!
Yo, the Santana connection is legit, Phish toured with them and Trey has been open about Carlos' influence. I never thought about Bone Thugs, but it totally makes sense with those songs where Trey sings fast but melodically. Beautiful!
Most joyful reaction I ve seen, ever. Music is perform, listen, dance and flow,
Indeed, the phish are beautiful and make ya dance.
I am going to try to live every moment of my life as if I was Jamal. What a beautiful human. ❤️
My favorite Phish song. Hells yeah. Love.
JOY! You nailed it!
Thank you Jamel!
Funny how you mentioned Santana. One of Phish's early big breaks was going on tour with Santana. One night after watching them play, Santana told them it was like they were a hose spraying musical water on their audience who were like flowers.
I'm a bit biased towards 93-95 Phish because I'm old enough to have discovered them in person during that time. I absolutely love who they have become but I have still to this day never been so blown away by a band or a guitarist as I was by young and hungry Trey and the boys.
They were a raging forest fire playing for love, joy and food.
From 1990-1995, they played 630 shows! 630! Before they EARNED the right to play this 2-night New Years Eve run at Madison Square Garden, a spot they now hold in perpetuity.
PLEASE do yourself a favor and watch and see why Gen-Xers got hooked and now can't wait to take their grandkids to see this band.
Here are some recommendations, although the camera work is not always great and often too Trey-centric, these are ABSOLUTE bangers.
