"You Enjoy Myself " from Phish's 7/8/12 show at Saratoga Performing Arts Center in Saratoga Springs, NY. Download the entire show at: http:/2nu.gs/1qQhP2
I remember traveling in Italy on a High School trip in 98. I brought my journal and a CD (yes a CD) that had ALL my favorite live YEMs on it. I'd listen to it on the bus between cities trying to channel Trey and Fishman on their trip to Italy when this masterpiece was scribed. I then understood the freedom and creativity they had when you totally immerse yourself into a different culture and let it release emotions within you that you didn't know you had. We finished that trip in Florence (where the Uffizi gallery is). I ditched my classmates for an afternoon and wandered the alleys there and found a pawn shop serving espressos. A couple espressos later for the free spirited 18 year old me and I left with a $100 nylon string guitar. I walked back to the Uffizi Square and saw a group of travelers singing along to a guitar player, so I lifted my guitar with the universal head nod of "may I join" Turns out the guitar player was from my exact state (NH) back in the USA. We dropped into playing "No Woman No Cry" so that EVERYONE could comprehend the language of Bob Marley. Within minutes there had to be 100s of travelers from ALL over the world singing along with us. Later that year, I used this experience to write my college application essay and was granted early acceptance to UVM in Burlington VT for the class of 98. I'm 42 NOW and this experience is forever engrained in my heart, mind and soul. Thank you PHISH for being a magical weaver of life experiences that has transcended space time since my first show in 95.
Has to be?? He IS the most underrated drummer.. Fishman’s playing is adaptable to any genre of music and often sounds as if there just has to be multiple drummers involved (when listening w/out video).. but it’s just the one and only. The energy it takes to play certain sections is truly unimaginable sometimes and he plays them so smoothly ..this mf is an incredible talent and once in a lifetime opportunity, as you can say that pretty much about any other member of this quartet ✌️🔥
Ill never forget standing near the top of the lawn after this show. The tour buses left right away and pulled off up the hill next to the venue and the crowd went nuts cheering so loud! Such a great time!
Graduated high school in 1990 - Such good times, great people and AMAZING music. True talent is often too obscure for the masses unfortunately. Play on guys, play on....
Phish broke curfew to play this for us, closing out an incredible 3 night run. Heading into Set 2, we all thought we were getting a YEM...we were due. As curfew started to come closer, they played Hood > Cavern and we all thought, perfect, plenty of time to get of stage, come back and finish this weekend of with a proper YEM... but then after Cavern they went into Bowie. Now I am not one to ever complain about a Bowie, but this all but sealed the deal for a short quick encore. Still an amazing weekend. They came back on stage at about 11:55pm. When they busted into YEM, the place exploded. This YEM probably cost them $15,000 - $20,000.
Trey is SO locked in here in this jam is unreal!! He's so genuinely enjoying himself while he's dancing that its fucking amazing, I LOVE THIS BAND WITH EVERY FIBER OF MY BEING!!!!!!
I was at this concert laying down under one of the walkways going up to the upper level, peacefully enjoying this song. A year later my knee was broken at the same venue, also during a Phish concert there.
Greatest comment ever. It is interwoven into the fabric of the universe. You did know it. You just didn't know you knew it. Same experience here like 25 years ago
That lift off that Page does for Trey from 15:06 to about 15:15 and then Trey hits "The note" and Page goes into the classic piano/organ combo ... chills every time
This song/video captures everything that is Phish and what makes them so much fun. It's like a singing circus on acid. Nonsensical Dr. Suess-like characters come to life. You certainly get your moneys worth at a concert, no doubt about it. Thanks boyz!!!
I remember the first time I heard Junta back in ‘88 or ‘89. It had just come out and my buddy Mike said “dude you HAVE to check these guys out” and we sat in his car listening to the cassette smoking a fat joint and my head just absolutely exploded while listening to Divided Sky then this one came on and I went from meltdown to groove. Just stunned.
I've seen them a million times a zillion years ago. It never gets old. By the way, just noticed in the end, he brakes into the sandford and son theme song. I almost spit out my drink 🤣 so good!
From 12:05 - 15:35 is some of the best type I jamming I've ever heard. Maybe not as whimsical and exploratory as their most creative jam excursions, but I'll be damned if that's not some of the best guitar Trey has ever played. Tasteful, patient, dynamic. I'll never get over how transformative and narrative his best improvisational work is. There's something almost plot-driven about it, full of conflicts and resolutions, lulls and climaxes, melodic characters and themes that return and reference each other throughout -- he builds a story through tone, melody, and the dynamics that weave them together. The debate on best players or best improvisers of all time is endless and totally moot - but for my money, no one in the world can build and release musical tension on guitar quite like Trey!
One of my favorite Phish moments for sure... He's so locked in... every note he plays during those 2 minutes is so phucking perfect.. Also lets not forget the launch pad Page builds for him right before the peak... so insanely amazing
LMAO!!!! Kills me everytime I hear that dudes extended "YESSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!" I havent picked up on the stabbing @ 4:31 amazingly enough......I freaking LOVE this YEM......there is NO telling how many times Ive watched it.....guess Im about to check it out again so I can focus on the 4:31 mark! LOL!
Went to my 16th show in Philly last summer. I'm sad I won't see them live this year (not coming near enough), but thank goodness for UA-cam. I'm old enough to remember when I wouldn't be able to enjoy a video of them somewhere like the Sphere. To the uninitiated, this is one of the best of their jazz/avant garde multi-movement songs (with nods to 'Reba' and 'Divided Sky').
I got stunned into the pavilion during this show, also it was my time “following” the band. Took a train to nyc to meet up with my buddy, went to jones beach 7/4 then trucked up to Saratoga for 3 days 😎
15:21 Ya get a good look at Jon's feet doing there thing . It's almost like they act independently from the rest of him . I'm always impressed with his drive. He looks so calm, but he never fails to add that little extra here and there.
The lift off Page provides for Trey at the 15:06 point and Trey hits "The Note" and Page goes into the Piano/Organ combo... Thats the real deal shit right there

Very cool. Thank you for sharing.
Ok
Respect
So awesome I’m glad I found this
1 is from MA
2 from Pennsylvania
1 from texas
Yet says from VT...😂
I drove around the block 3 times on my way home from work, just bc I couldn't cut this song short. Best band of all time.
That's fucking awesome
6-11-94 version of YEM turned me into a real Phish devotee. Soundboard recording from Red Rocks.
Ditto. It's dirty. So dirty.
2nd best
J-B3RK I might have a hunch who your first favorite is lol
Has to be one of the most underrated drummers👍👍

@danostyli514
Ever see Fishman get off the drums and sing Elvis' "Suspicious Minds" with Trey on drums? What a cool version.
Ill never forget standing near the top of the lawn after this show. The tour buses left right away and pulled off up the hill next to the venue and the crowd went nuts cheering so loud! Such a great time!
When he hits that chord coming off the trampoline it gets me every time.
Great moment.
When Trey makes the drool face you know shit is about to get real.
Srsly tho
9:41 seeing Gordo crack up Trey with his bass makes me incredibly happy😂
This is one of those jams that you never get tired of....
Graduated high school in 1990 - Such good times, great people and AMAZING music. True talent is often too obscure for the masses unfortunately. Play on guys, play on....
The Sanford and Son theme worked in there made me smile! Definitely an amazing band!
Good ear!

Been a jam band junkie since I was 17 and I'm 63😊
I always catch myself getting down to this. Especially Gordons funky riffs. BA0w!---BA0w BA0w! ---BA0w!!! Gets me every time!!!
lol thats so funny thats how i make that sound too when he kicks that effect on
@@ribracktv543 yeah buddy! 12:23-12:44
This song isn’t long enough! I am enjoying sooooo much himself!
Trey's dancing is awesome haha love it
@Certinho so white. It's ok to be white.
Wypipo rhythm
I really enjoy this myself so much
Trey is SO locked in here in this jam is unreal!! He's so genuinely enjoying himself while he's dancing that its fucking amazing, I LOVE THIS BAND WITH EVERY FIBER OF MY BEING!!!!!!
I started phollowing these guy after Brent died in 1990 widespread panic is the other group I love ❤️
Oh yeah! WSMFP!
Feh. You still had fibers left over to type with.
Absolutely every single fiber the fibers of the fiber.
whenever u get the Jordan tongue going u know ur in the zoneee!!
How friggin brilliant is it to jump on mini trampolines? These guys are amazing!!!
This was one of my favorite shows. This second set in particular was unreal. I love the curb your enthusiasm tease..
I was at this concert laying down under one of the walkways going up to the upper level, peacefully enjoying this song. A year later my knee was broken at the same venue, also during a Phish concert there.
Hello, how are you doing? It is nice seeing you here.
Best live version of this song I've ever heard! Amazing!
Just can't get enough. They still light a fire in me 20 years after the first time I heard them.
Hello, how are you doing? It is nice seeing you here.
@@treyanastasio2839 Hi Trey
Trey busts a move at the end. Great to see them feeling so free. What a wonderful band :)
Great jam and surprisingly the first time I've ever witnessed a trampoline integrated into a musical performance.
moog, bass, cowbell, extended jam, vocal jam, trampolines. best song ever!
This was my first Phish show, age 15. Didn't know how incredibly lucky I was no matter how blow away I was at the time...
Hell yeah man lucky asss fuuuuqw
First show was 10 years old, lived 5 minutes away from spac. Can’t ever take moments like that for granted…
Even when I heard this for the first time, I felt like I already knew it.
same thing with their song "contact" ... it seems like its been floating on the airways from days of old
Greatest comment ever. It is interwoven into the fabric of the universe. You did know it. You just didn't know you knew it. Same experience here like 25 years ago
@@Evi1penguin5 I remember seeing you there~
I'm not the only one?! LOVE THIS BAND TILL DEATH DO US PART
@@Evi1penguin5 or did I know I knew it??? lol.
I am such a Phish junkie that I listen to this and tahoe tweezer multiple times a day...
You know what’s better than the Tahoe tweezer, the 12/30/19 tweezer
That lift off that Page does for Trey from 15:06 to about 15:15 and then Trey hits "The note" and Page goes into the classic piano/organ combo ... chills every time
I love the vocal jam... they’re just f*ckin with your high mind.
Fuckin widgyo mind hard
One of the best in my life.........he kills it
What a way to finish a great three night stand at SPAC. One of my Phish show highlights!
Epic dance show!! Great hippie moves!!
The trampoline thing still cracks me up after seeing it so many times !!
This changed my whole life
July 8th... My big brother's birthday. Huge Phish Phan. He passed away in '09. Amazing performance.
It's also my birthday. This is the epitome of Phish.
My mom's birthday too. ❤
This song/video captures everything that is Phish and what makes them so much fun. It's like a singing circus on acid. Nonsensical Dr. Suess-like characters come to life. You certainly get your moneys worth at a concert, no doubt about it. Thanks boyz!!!

Just stunned.
Definitely a sick album. Funny, I heard it for the first time literally one decade later ('98) and was just as blown away
Usually things are in meltdown when "buddies named mike" say "dude you HAVE to check this out!"
So amazing similar but about 8 years later
I was introduced to Phish bt listening to Junta in 93. The jam in Divided Sky had me hooked.
this whole freaking weekend show was amazing
Hello, how are you doing? It is nice seeing you here.
This is the definition of the band. Everything about them is right here. To the uninitiated: start here - the fun never ends.
Been trying to like these guys for decades. Just ain't working. They're okay.
Agree
Fluff head and divided sky also rank amongst the best , every best song is pre breakup
Keyword is fun folks
@@coltwilson18 Exactly. Cos nobody takes their musicianship seriously. It sounds like a mess. Fun show though......pft.
I was at 7/6/12 and 7/7/12 but missed this heady show.... Never miss a Sunday Funday at SPAC!!!!!
Best band and jam of all time.
This run was so much fun! So many bustouts and the energy was insane. Besides SPAC having ridiculous cops/rules, it was a great run!
Dig their music or not, they are one of the greatest bands of all time. They can play anything. And after 30 years they still love what they do.
They cant do Genesis......lol
Trey and Mike are so in sync on those trampolines, and the jam of course
They played with so much heart and soul, totally having a blast and loving every minute. Amazing YEM, thnx.
BEST. BAND. EVER.
Hello, how are you doing? It is nice seeing you here.
My second show, first YEM and still one of my favorites. Gordo’s solo here is one of my all time faves. I’ve never been the same after this run.
Hello, how are you doing? It is nice seeing you here.
@@treyanastasio2839 Trey isn’t on social media.
I've seen them a million times a zillion years ago. It never gets old. By the way, just noticed in the end, he brakes into the sandford and son theme song. I almost spit out my drink 🤣 so good!
Hello, how are you doing? It is nice seeing you here.
They are all hilarious...GREAT jam!
If this version doesn’t make you smile, laugh, and cry … your soul might be dead.
So funky, like I like it! Mike fuckin rocks this bass rift. Awesome.
This was recorded at my first Phish show! too much goooodness
Hello, how are you doing? It is nice seeing you here.
This is a particularly funky, rippin YEM. Best band in the world to be sure- Can’t wait for the shows coming up!
This was killer. Great weekend. Loved hearing from Paige. Loved this tour
This video encapsulates everything I love about Phish.
Check out Trey's reaction to Mike's bass note at 9:41
Every time I watch this I seem to forget about that part and laugh so hard
@@itsme-ri5mw why me
I think I had the exact same reaction. LOL
Ha! Love it!
Yeah! He felt it just like us does!
What a crowd, I wasn’t there but watching this video made me feel some way. I miss live shows so much!
LOVE PHISH
Hello, how are you doing? It is nice seeing you here.

Never heard about this Band…. Great…. I love it ♥️
when they jumped of the mini trampoline it was surprisingly badass
Off
Phish your awesome and I hope you guys never break I've loved you since I was 2 now I'm 10 the first song i listened to is ocelot
It's a year later and you still shouldn't be on the intrawebz. :)
So how you like phish now at 12?
Great thing is they will never not be there for you, even when they're gone, music lives forever
@@boognishphisherman2305 now at 15
So Amazing the Build
These guys are the best. How they create what they do with 4 people can never be replicated
I loved this entire show! :) I was so happy when they played this! :)
I love that 2012 sound. So thick and velvety.
Yes! The bass!
Best era for Gordo's hair.
Diamond Jim bring back the duck bill!
Piano solo... sweet
Guitar solo... super sweet
Bass solo... sweet
My face melted off
269 Dislikes do people have ears this is freakin awesome One of their best shows in one of their best 3.0 years 2013 2015 and 2017 are equally great
Sick Flashlight jam by Gordon!
Best YEM I’ve seen live. Absolutely killed it this night in SPAC
Fucking spectacular! One of the best YEM I have heard.
Hello, how are you doing? It is nice seeing you here.
I listened to this version and found myself
11:45 it’s not just a jam, it’s down right incredible!
page looks like he should apply for a job working at a planetarium running powerpoints on Saturn
I'd go to see that
Me too!
Page is a mad scientist by night
Dang that’s funny!
Actually Saturn really enjoys myself, thanks
1:15 guy that says Relax!!! Is a fkn legend 😂
not only does the guy yell "Yessssss" at 3:56, I think he may have been stabbed at 4:31..
LMAO!!!! Kills me everytime I hear that dudes extended "YESSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!" I havent picked up on the stabbing @ 4:31 amazingly enough......I freaking LOVE this YEM......there is NO telling how many times Ive watched it.....guess Im about to check it out again so I can focus on the 4:31 mark! LOL!
I come back to this comment every few months. Great work.
holy shit here I am again.
This is the best comment on this video
I giggled my dick off!!
Went to my 16th show in Philly last summer. I'm sad I won't see them live this year (not coming near enough), but thank goodness for UA-cam.

Technology could advance by a million years and robots would still never be able to produce something like this. Phish is incredible.
I got stunned into the pavilion during this show, also it was my time “following” the band. Took a train to nyc to meet up with my buddy, went to jones beach 7/4 then trucked up to Saratoga for 3 days 😎
Thus is my 2cd favorite You Enjoy Myself
15:21 Ya get a good look at Jon's feet doing there thing . It's almost like they act independently from the rest of him . I'm always impressed with his drive. He looks so calm, but he never fails to add that little extra here and there.
Isn't this the silliest Phish vocal jam ever?!
Now I understand why people love Phish.
thank you shane for bringing me here
Fun 3 night run. The first night is one of the best of 3.0, this was a good show to end the run and the tour.
.... beautiful tune ...... tnx ! ..... ; ] ,,,
This is SO great..watching Trey get down like the Funky White Boy he is.
baddest ass muthafuckas on the planet.
that was fairly marvelous
love the "wash your feet "sound jam. A Capella
thank you youtube for bringing me to this version. WOW
12:58 onward is nut-worthy. I've heard this solo in my dreams.
Yeeeeeameeeeeesssss
I have no nuts, yet wholeheartedly agree
The lift off Page provides for Trey at the 15:06 point and Trey hits "The Note" and Page goes into the Piano/Organ combo... Thats the real deal shit right there
trey is such a goofy dancer I love it
trampolines??? that's so fucking awesome
They've been there since the nineties.
Ryan McKinley 80's, methinks.
Bouta see them at spac in a few weeks super hyped
An awesome experiment in the unknown synchronized world of Phish
This was my first phish concert when i was 15 (besides one time when i was an infant) and this was such a memorable experience for me.
this is such a good video
