Princes solo on this tune nobody can talk bad about, but as soon as it was done I thought, now who else could do a rendition of this song and do it justice after that, immediately I went to Phish, because I know how Trey can rip a guitar solo on a good day….. and Phish’s rendition of this tune rips as well!….
Phish was one of the greatest bands ever at this point in time. They were practicing hours & hours everyday. Anyone ripping them is obviously an idiot &/or has never touched an instrument in their life.
@@lefthooklansing not a chance bro. The best player of all time wouldn't need 968 pedals. I love Trey, I put him like top 10 all time but you are nuts if you put him above Zappa and Hendrix. I'm not even gonna get started about Wes Montgomery and John McLaughlin. Jimmy Herring is on Trey's level, too. Trey is a God tho. No doubt.
In this and divided sky, treys overly large shirt and mushroom like hair almost make him look like some sort of mystical guitar playing creature that is not of this earth
Man...1994 - I was at this show, and it's a standout musical memory. When they started the White Album...indescribable... Red Rocks, The Warfield, two complete Gamehendge saga shows, the Fox Theater in Atlanta, the New Years run... Those of us who knew where to be in 1994 were at Phish shows as often as possible :) See y'all at Festy 8!
Treys ability to glide seemlessly from antonal figues into a natural progression with 1 measure in between. Back and forth the sways to and from each of these, with grace of the wind. Magic.
I've seen these boys a handful of times. Never had a bad time. Seen The Dead, Widespread, Floyd, Page/ Plant, Cheese.. and many, many others. I asked my best friend once who the greatest band was of all time and he said, " Nobody grabs you by your spine like Phish, even when they cover the great ones.... Nobody." Thats why he's my best friend.
@@fsmdanimal this is the ultimate example of a post made by someone who just got seduced by a band. Irrational, exaggerated, misguided, etc. I bet you don't still feel that way lol.
WOW!!!--- While My Guitar Gently Weeps is one of my favorite Beatles songs, and to hear Phish play it!!! The 90's in my opinion, were the best Phish years. I have a recording of Phish covering the White Album but this is an awesome performance.
I never post. Never. But I saw Phish play this song in Portland, OR in 94? 95? and I literally wept. Never been moved by a song in the moment like that. Incredible
Pretty amusing thread. Seriously, though..TA is completely nuts on this song - out of some 50+ pitch bends about 98% of them are pitch perfect for their 1/10-second life while he's already on the way to another note. And most likely the ones that aren't spot on were his way of honoring Clapton's goofy original solo.
Great song covered well here, and by other many talented artists. There is a Prince cover from George Harrison's induction at the RRHOF that is really amazing. He's on stage with some real A-list guitarists (Jeff Beck, Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne) who all seemed as awe-struck as everybody else at Prince shredding this like he did.
@@bcp5296d Agree. Prince was as much of a showman as he was a musician a rare talent by any measure. I'm an old guy so I kinda' out of the Phish demograhic. I know they are beloved like few other bands are today. A few years ago we were driving out of Florida when I think Phish agreed to hold over at Zephyrhills for a couple of extra nights. I-75 was jammed for miles with people trying to get to the extra shows.
hmmmm - i've never heard anyone say it was played note for note. you don't even need to be a musician to tell they are missing/flubbing notes left and right.
Phish doesn't do a cover unless they can nail it. And they nail it (in their phantastic way) everytime; their take always gives me insite on the original. You ever hear 'em do Prince or ZEP? Talking Heads? Their takes & twists are phantastic. How 'bout phish with jayZ. I hope they bring out a suprise guest in costume. I love this band. Anything they do will delight me. SO excited for festival 8. (The musical nature & language of phish is universal! bring your costume :)
@TheSuperwest36 with music like this and the beatles and clapton, there are no comparisons of quality, only heart and soul as well as mutual respect. i think they do it different, but not necesarily better. But hey, it's Phish and it's kickass. can I get a thumbs
Trey takes it to "11!" While my Ukraine not so gently weeps! Trey in the final 4, Cinderella guitar...shredding, pleading, bending, playin with abandon, freedom rocks from deep! Drums, bass & back up flowing with the current! Phish out of water!
phish will play an entire album front to back on Halloween sets, this being said if they don't do a perfect job on a particular album, who cares. If I hear a phish cover it's most likely not going to do the song any justice I would have loved to see them play this album, my favorite band playing an awesome beatles album.
This is one of the greatest guitar solos ever conceived by a human being
30 years later and still the best version of this song ever put out. We are so lucky to have Phish in our lives still.
Prince played guitar 🎸 on a tribute. Very good as well. Tom petty, usual suspects 🍄🇬🇧🍄🐟🐟🐟🍄
@@pango-y8j agreed
Somebody had their Wheaties that morning... good sweet Jesus TREY!
......and for the people who say that Prince had the best solo on this song......I give you Mr. Trey Anastasio.
Richk097 0 I know Jesus Christ this is just as good as Prince’s
Both were very swell so
Gary moore mite have the best but this is the closest!!
Princes solo on this tune nobody can talk bad about, but as soon as it was done I thought, now who else could do a rendition of this song and do it justice after that, immediately I went to Phish, because I know how Trey can rip a guitar solo on a good day….. and Phish’s rendition of this tune rips as well!….
Prince said he was influenced by this cut by Phish. Blew him away....
He's playing BOTH parts: Clapton & Harrison's part... very dank
Phish was one of the greatest bands ever at this point in time. They were practicing hours & hours everyday. Anyone ripping them is obviously an idiot &/or has never touched an instrument in their life.
100000%
This is the greatest thing I’ve ever witnessed. And I’m 137 years old
Today?
Trey literally just BENT fking time with that solo... absolutely filthy
lets merge one note into a two, then one, then two, then three note bend....cause I'm trey.
Most underrated guitarist of all time. He's a straight beast and gets no respect because Phish is so goofy.
tube screamer in this era is sickk
71 on Rolling Stone all time, but still stupid list, popularity contest.
#1 guitarist of all time

He gets enormous respect from this lady 30 years later......what a dork!!!!
Killed that solo!!!!!!
I mean, the original is of course...the original. This, however, gives me chills every time I watch it, it is so goddamn good.

100% were so lucky to have trey 😭😭😭
it was the jerry blouse

See y'all at Festy 8!
Such an emotional version. The wind blowing his hair really adds to it. I love his tone so much through the 90s and still today.
this IS the motherfuckin tone

You need to see Umphrey's McGee sometime then..... hands down.. best live band of all you've mentioned.
Dan Egan lol umph isn't even the best band amongst 2nd tier jam bands don't even think they trump phish even um fans will tell you otherwise
Amen.
@@fsmdanimal Umphrey's are cool, but hell to the nah nah. Phish takes it off planet while Umphrey's doesn't come close to the top of the mountain.
@@fsmdanimal this is the ultimate example of a post made by someone who just got seduced by a band. Irrational, exaggerated, misguided, etc. I bet you don't still feel that way lol.
such emotion, truly amazing, this is the best version, no matter what anyone else says
trey shredded that solo into 13 different pieces, burned it and let its smoke rise up to heaven to let george witness its majesty. R.I.P. Harrison
wow, very well said
The best version of this song, ever.
WOW!!!--- While My Guitar Gently Weeps is one of my favorite Beatles songs, and to hear Phish play it!!! The 90's in my opinion, were the best Phish years. I have a recording of Phish covering the White Album but this is an awesome performance.
This is the show you have the recording of…2nd set!!!
i love jellyphish head trey.
lol.... Is he wearing one of Jerry's old t-shirts?
PhuryousOne hahhaha! fuck yea man. i didnt even notice that! i was too amazed by the jellyphish.
“jellyphish head trey” 😂😂
Psychedelic mushroom in symbiosis with Trey...they where playing together and had such fun that made it forever
trey had such a chip on his shoulder back in the day...came out every night to prove to the world he was the greatest
I wish he was still like this, I love the emotions in this song
No way, Trey is just as good now. If anything he's better because he's not fucked up.
tegurley11 he was
TwoHitsAndJointTurnedBrown Trey is absolutely not better now, but he’s still great🎸
i agree. my first shows were 92. he was a bad man back then. he still is, but young trey was a different animal.
speechless....One of the best bands to ever live....Emotion through music 100%.
this is what reaffirms my belief that trey is a guitar god. his knowledge of scales and the fretboard is unbelievable.
I never post. Never. But I saw Phish play this song in Portland, OR in 94? 95? and I literally wept. Never been moved by a song in the moment like that. Incredible
So, like, ya know, you have never done liquid El,? Dios MiO. El Diablo 🍄🔥🍄🇬🇧🍄🐟🐟🐟🍄
Oh my God I can listen to this all day!
fuck what people say.
this is one of my favorite solos ever.
and i dont even listen to phish.
The entire band is based around the exploration of emotion through music.
best thing of all time
Never has a Muppet rocked out so thoroughly!
Holy shit balls. That was poetry in motion.
Still one of the greatest videos on UA-cam. After all this time, still one of the greatest nights of my young life. 10 rows back, cactus side. Rager.
People don’t shut up about princes version of this which was good but to me this is the best this song was ever played by another band.
Holy shit I love 3.0 but this is IT
What an amazing performance!! 🤘
Looks like a shrooms gently blowing in a tasty cool breeze.
trey nails it. insanely wel done.
Awesome! Great tribute to the song!
Excellent! Respect to Phish for them respecting WMGGW! 🤘🏻🎸
Open wide for chunky. Gorgeous, rips the tears out and sets them flying.
The key to being a guitar god is a XXXXXL t-shirt.
Or lotsa practice.
this is a blouse lol
Thanks for posting this
The original version was banned. Thanks a bunch!
Thank you for the way you did. It,its the best cover,george would love it so eric clapton.
Forget the guitar weeping, Trey had me crying
Wow, awesome! Great playing!

Yep, most people won't realize this. And that's ok, cause it still sounds awesome to them.
Yeah that's it...was looking for perfection and I found it
jesus is that shirt XXXL or something
Joshua Wakefield looks like one of mine! :) I did lose a few on tour...
mine are Jockey. Jerry liked pocket T's. :) :) :)
He stole it from Jerry
Garcia style
The lead is incredible Trey channeled up The Beatles for this fascinating solo, live it Love it, Peace
the beatles yes....but the studio version was eric clapton on guitar.
WTF this is amazing!
@anthonyBleakney blew my mind when i was blazed. good shit man.
@Hunsanity I could watch this video...no sound...and appreciate it just as much (more?)...those sleeves are epic.
He came several times...
Arnold put it best

Price's solo was good, but more of a show/performance altogether. Note for note this one, in this guitarists opinion, is way better.

Love Trey's size 5XL t-shirt from this show.
this is great
Omg I had this video! On VHS!
It didn't sound like this!
This is so good.
I saw them doing this song live in concert on 6/29/12 and it was phenomenal!!!
if you can check out glenns falls halloween where they played the entire white album for the second set...fyi it was perfect note for ote...
hmmmm - i've never heard anyone say it was played note for note. you don't even need to be a musician to tell they are missing/flubbing notes left and right.
This is the Glens Falls show-notice the date in the description?
Man they are great
Great cover.
stunning...
Blows my mind
Phish doesn't do a cover unless they can nail it. And they nail it (in their phantastic way) everytime; their take always gives me insite on the original.
You ever hear 'em do Prince or ZEP? Talking Heads? Their takes & twists are phantastic.
How 'bout phish with jayZ. I hope they bring out a suprise guest in costume. I love this band. Anything they do will delight me.
SO excited for festival 8.
(The musical nature & language of phish is universal! bring your costume :)
while my guitar gently weeps. ahhhhhhhhh :)))))))))) beautiful
Incredible.
As shredding as it is, it’s the restraint that makes it amazing. Also, paige’s backing vocals.
a very pleasant surprise
@TheSuperwest36 with music like this and the beatles and clapton, there are no comparisons of quality, only heart and soul as well as mutual respect. i think they do it different, but not necesarily better. But hey, it's Phish and it's kickass. can I get a thumbs
GLORIOUS!
way to rock it trey you always were the beatles fan....and the dead of course
brilliant idea :) thanks for this!
Never liked Phish until now. Amazing solo. I have to try to learn this version.
gonna be honest, i like this version better than the beatles' version
my god what a shred
3:29 shit dude!!!!! its like you feel it in the way trey is so lost in it its all out of feeling and thats amazing!!!
🎼🌹Amazing🌹🎼
evenin nighthawk!
Phish is awesome, i agree! I believe their covers are suberb! i LOVE WHAT THEY CHOOSE~
oh my god
TREY THE GOD OF COVER SONGS!! THIS SHIT IS STUNNING
Amazing!
btw, best light shows ever (only pink floyd can compare) Ty Kurado
Yea this is definitely better than the original! He murders that solo way harder!
❤
Trey takes it to "11!" While my Ukraine not so gently weeps! Trey in the final 4, Cinderella guitar...shredding, pleading, bending, playin with abandon, freedom rocks from deep! Drums, bass & back up flowing with the current! Phish out of water!
Julius from this show smokes as well.
Was this Cal Poly? I was at this show of it was☮️
Ha I went to Cal poly SLO, 90-95. Biological sciences. Rastafari Tucson Arizona Sonoran desert 🌵 yes I keep on keeping on, have mercy 🍄🐟🐟🐟🍄🇬🇧🍄
Génial !!
THIS is the kind of Trey I like to hear & see, he was really groovin’ here!…
6.29.12 version was phenomenal and so was 8.24.12!
the reba from this night is gold also
anyone got an amazon link on the shirt?
Didn't this song have like 3 guitarists originally lol
❤️🙏🎸
awesome
The real question is...Did Trey get this shirt from Jerry Garcia? I saw it again!
phish will play an entire album front to back on Halloween sets, this being said if they don't do a perfect job on a particular album, who cares. If I hear a phish cover it's most likely not going to do the song any justice I would have loved to see them play this album, my favorite band playing an awesome beatles album.
Looks like he's wearing Jerrys shirt :)
Hiding his track marks
Yup!
nice playing:)
