ppl hate on the "Dad Rock" and i get it some of the lyrics are over the top... but some the new stuff like Ruby Waves is some of his most beautiful work my non jam head sister loves it ⁰@pwebb34
Man this is the Phish I miss and Love! Where to begin on this legendary version! How tight Mike and Fish are at 5:07 The look Trey gives Fish at 5:55 realizing Mike didn't take the bait and instead wanted to continue the jam. Treys phrasing at 7:00 The moment Gordon knew this was a monster, just feeling it so hard he stomps into the ground at 8:05 The smile trey gives Mike at 8:12 almost thanking Mike for continuing the jam. Mikes face at 10:12 and Treys face at 10:15 I knew deep down that they had to stop, it was evident that it was getting out of control, but there were moments in 2003 & 2004 looking back now where if you were there, you were lucky enough to witness some of the all time moments in Phishtory.
i once heard of this type of event back in the day.a large group of people gathered tightly together in an auditorium or stadium to witness an extraordinary band play.. i heard that it was an experience to remember forever.
For me the whole jam (Sample>Moma Dance>Free) rivals only the 7/23/99 Ghost>Free>BOAF jam. At least as far as jams with Free in the middle go. they're tied for me
I feel like I am skydiving right now. Chills head to toe. Goosebumps. I love you if you're reading this phamily. Keep it pounding. Now let's go save the world.
The Goosebumps at 7:02 are lethal. Bopping in my chair at work as if i have a rash on my ass. Must look strange. But when ya gotta groove, ya gotta groove.
Nice observation. I have seen them over 60 times, and from what I remember, he is always smiling. My take is that he truly is living the dream and playing music to one of the most devoted followings any band would dream of having. I truly feel he loves the fans as much as we love him.
Oh, boy. This show was a wild night on Coney Island. I feel like this show and Coventry were the bookends of so much. Even after many nights of loving up on this band from being a student in 1994 @ the Syracuse War Memorial for my first show. The four of them continue to create magic. This Free was a trance. They can talk to each other musically at will. See you this summer!
This and Moma Dance from this show are incredible. Love that part near 7:25 where Mike hits a pedal to get that wet reverb with Trey switching right after him starting with that bent note.
I remember the rain. When I entered the stadium, I went right for the few seats that were under cover. While most fans got soaked I was completely dry!
Just posted an in-depth analysis of this jam on my channel, as well as note for note guitar tab on Trey's solo at 6:40. I think a lot of you guys would dig it!
jason smith acually,superb version mike lays it down, beautiful finish by trey,my favorite of this show is the 46 days,even over the stellar version of free,moma,possum, suzy ,great show! haven't stop jammin it since it was recorded!
This version ruined me be I have never found a moment when the bassist and guitarist are left to their own devices. If anyone can give me references to other songs like this I will gladly thank you.
They played this in Wrigley first set and i was crying... 2nd set i called the dwd opener which i know is a easy call... but i thought i was on top of the world having a great show then it dropped into fuego and i got so freaked out i had to almost leave the show things got very evil and dark for me that night in wrigly... still dont understand how it went from so good to so bad... fuego is a nogo for me... if a setlist has fuego 2nd song 2nd set i wont allow myself to open up to the beauty of phish for that set........i get overwhelmed with the power they weild...but i grew up on phish so im trying to hang im there and work threw my shawdow... maybe ill just stay away from the baseball field shows...
Why is this the only live in Brooklyn video on you tube? I want 46 days dammit! I lost my dvd! Ok there are others, but no 46 days! - melts like a snowflake -
I was seeing if I'm among like minded kinderds; 41 year old hippie 2.0 born in the 70's to hippies and old enough to have had my fun in the 90's grung, alt,new age, phish the other hippie bands and a bunch of 1 hitters bands and
I believe it was Eric Clapton who first referred to "being in the pocket". Yeah phish exemplifies what it means to be in the pocket. Each and everyone of them
This period of time in Phish's life was wrought with strife and a darkness which fueled the music. It also made it horrifically terrible. Some of the stuff played on this tour is embarrassing, but some of it is the best stuff they've ever played, like the 6/19/04 Piper, the 6/20/04 Drowned, the 6/23/04 Crosseyed -> Slave, the 8/10/04 ACDC Bag. But then you have the 6/23/04 46 Days, etc. Let's not even begin to count the Coventry butcheries. But that stuff is beautifully broken. Today, the band is comfortable and often times can still power through some great jams, but there isn't a darkness fueling the fire underneath them. The band was dying, here. It's poignant. It's art. You still have great things like the 7/8/12 Piper, the Magnaball Caspian, 11/1/13 Twist, every Fall '13 Golden Age and Tweezer....
It's a mindset. It hits you when it does. It's up to you to grab it. I've been to shows (not just Phish) and didn't even hear what was straight up presented to me on a silver platter! Later on I'd hear and think what the fuck was my problem. Why didn't I hear it? in that moment, in that time? And I'm blown away yyyyy
A masterpiece , this version belongs in an art museum
Was listening to this on the walk to class and struggling not to dance. Eventually I just had to to surrender to the flow
You always have to surrender to the flow. I learned this with a head full of portabellas at Alpine Sunday night during Ruby Waves.
Don't fight the feeling sister
Let it roll right from the soul.
Peace
How do u keep from moving on this jam??!!
Most definitely!!!!!!!! Everytime I listen I keep that constant head bob going. I see why Mike is always bouncing his head lol. Impossible not to !!!!
ppl hate on the "Dad Rock" and i get it some of the lyrics are over the top...
but some the new stuff like Ruby Waves is some of his most beautiful work
my non jam head sister loves it ⁰@pwebb34
Perhaps the best 10 minutes of recorded music ever made!
really...were just weightless in the room?
@@grizzlyitch1662 Amen brother
Hyperbole much?
@@natural1952 Trey is so sick, he should be in quarantine.
@@natural1952 yes most definitely... i was always very good in mathmatics
I always come back when constipated and mikes bass makes it flow free
Should come with a warning, my bowels just let loose violently & unexpectedly. I'm riding the bus 😬
Can't believe my 17yr old self from SC was there for this

You are so absolutely spot on with this observation. My favorite Free jam, and possibly one of my favorite Phish jams of all time.
i once heard of this type of event back in the day.a large group of people gathered tightly together in an auditorium or stadium to witness an extraordinary band play.. i heard that it was an experience to remember forever.
sounds too good to be true
The communication between Mike and Trey on that one was just magical. Such a joy to be able to watch one of the best Free jams there is.
By far this phish's best version of this song........so clean and crisp and sum funk !!
some flubs in the opening section. spectacular interplay in the jam. top 5
I prefer the studio version
I would have to say yes to that !!!!
@@bobcoleman9045 I was referring to their live shows & this song .
they just played a tasty version in mexico last night too
The song that made me fall in love with phish. M Gordon is an absolute monster 👹
Best version of Free Ive heard especially Mike's swampy bass and the buildup at the end
For me the whole jam (Sample>Moma Dance>Free) rivals only the 7/23/99 Ghost>Free>BOAF jam. At least as far as jams with Free in the middle go. they're tied for me
Shit is just soggy. Soo good
So locked in. Love when they nail the chord change right before that last chorus.
Best part, and when trey continues to shred between lines of the last chorus
@@samh729 totally. So sick
I'm back again at this Free. Its such a go-to!
Greatest mike gordon performance ever! Everybody else feeds off of him!!!
Best version ever
+Patrick Armstrong You haven't heard Amsterdam late 90's
+Patrick Armstrong Preach brotha man. This version is godly

clifford ball just had a great chuckle :)
+Patrick Armstrong 2014 MGM Grand is electric, chills every time, phans lost their minds
@@HambletonCS Free was pretty much atonal and freeform from 95-96. Not the same jam at all.
I've listened to this soooo many times!!
I feel like I am skydiving right now. Chills head to toe. Goosebumps. I love you if you're reading this phamily. Keep it pounding. Now let's go save the world.
6:37 Legendary
Here I thought I lost that '70's vibe forever!
The Goosebumps at 7:02 are lethal. Bopping in my chair at work as if i have a rash on my ass. Must look strange. But when ya gotta groove, ya gotta groove.
God damn this is an excellent live rendition of Free. Absolutely flawless.
This is by far the greatest guitar playing ever recorded
I mean, the Divided Sky from 10/31/1994 is pretty fucking magical.
Who could possibly dislike this
I have never seen trey not smiling on stage. He seems like such a cool dude
Coventry lol
Super-drugs
Nice observation. I have seen them over 60 times, and from what I remember, he is always smiling. My take is that he truly is living the dream and playing music to one of the most devoted followings any band would dream of having. I truly feel he loves the fans as much as we love him.
Everyone in this band understands their job. And they do their jobs well. Great time.
Maybe. Seems more like a singular organism with lots of arms.
I cant stop replaying 6:50 /10:25 I have to hear it once a week now best base rifs ever !
Oh, boy. This show was a wild night on Coney Island. I feel like this show and Coventry were the bookends of so much. Even after many nights of loving up on this band from being a student in 1994 @ the Syracuse War Memorial for my first show. The four of them continue to create magic. This Free was a trance. They can talk to each other musically at will. See you this summer!
Trey's solo around 6min in is so good...groovin. he's feeling it!
This and Moma Dance from this show are incredible. Love that part near 7:25 where Mike hits a pedal to get that wet reverb with Trey switching right after him starting with that bent note.
You're on it kiddo. Keep it pounding brother
Doesnt moma play into this
This never gets old. This song speaks to my soul!!!!
mike really grabbed that one by the nuts and sent it to outerspace
Grabbed it right by the pussy
the base plucking is just so shockingly smooth and funky it just hypnotizes me !Its meditational!
The best of the best of the best. SIR!
This whole show is so fire. It makes me shed tears of joy
one of the best versions of one of my fav phish songs.
LUV IT...try doing it for 30 years
Hoping for a Free at Star Lake this Summer. Come on Summer Tour ☀️
Great jam. Lucky to have phone service out here fly fishing in the NC mountains.
This was an awesome couple of days even though one the Homies outside sold me a fake ticket the guy at the gate let me in because he felt bad!
How fucking cool was that!!!
Just AWESOME
had a awesome guitarist in 97 to jam with and when shroming it works out exp from a 41 yrs old guy
Man. Cactus . love the space effect and rhythm!!!
So Good!
Seeing this live made me a believer
Best phish bass JAM
I remember the rain. When I entered the stadium, I went right for the few seats that were under cover. While most fans got soaked I was completely dry!
God good that breakdown at 6:40 is the goods!
straight up mass murder
Just posted an in-depth analysis of this jam on my channel, as well as note for note guitar tab on Trey's solo at 6:40. I think a lot of you guys would dig it!
100% ... is Trey's low E dropped to D?
@@travisalexander7302 he’s using a whammy pedal to pitch the guitar down an octave
Yes !
The best Ride, Trash, and Splash in music history.
Nothing sounds better than the effects on the Deep Impact and Meatball.
That is a WICKED moomoo Fishman is rocking at :20!
Mikes bass is so incredibly WET in this
Swampy
Same
It’s liquidy
so so wet...knee deep in the funk
Then him and my vagina have a lot in common...
Best Free ever
jason smith acually,superb version mike lays it down, beautiful finish by trey,my favorite of this show is the 46 days,even over the stellar version of free,moma,possum, suzy ,great show! haven't stop jammin it since it was recorded!
I saw this live in the movie theatre near Seattle when it went down and had the recordings and lost them a ways back. Time to rediscover them!
GOOD GOD MIKE!!!
You can't see it in this vid, but it was pouring rain during this.
Trey and Mike have since switched hair.
😂💯
This version ruined me be I have never found a moment when the bassist and guitarist are left to their own devices. If anyone can give me references to other songs like this I will gladly thank you.
Good luck. This is one in a million!
"Martian Monster" 11/2/2018. Just listened to it and a similar situation occurs in the jam that made me think of this comment.

I also hate the vibe 555 brings 😒
mike's lead in run at 7:20 .... fucking great
Love the look from Trey to Fish at 5:56
Can't agree more!!!
That moment is climactic
Why is this the only live in Brooklyn video on you tube? I want 46 days dammit! I lost my dvd! Ok there are others, but no 46 days! - melts like a snowflake -

I believe it was Eric Clapton who first referred to "being in the pocket". Yeah phish exemplifies what it means to be in the pocket. Each and everyone of them
Damn Mike!!!
omg.
crunchy bro
Imagine Stevie Ray Vaughn hitting this funky ass beat! Great tune!
why do all the phish shows I go to blow? why can't they be as rocking out as this one? lol

It would have been appropriate for Trey and Mike to high five.
"Swimming weightless in the womb, Bouncing gently around the room" I c wut u did ther
Gordon is killer!
