Where are these guys now? They were good.

Dear lord almighty Trey on the Sample outro!!! ❤❤❤❤

That was gayer than a Ricky Martin fan club cruise.

my favorite phish song 🙂

My goodness, when they start the climb in Reba, magic just shoots through the amplifiers, Trey hits that streak. Wow.

Does anyone know where I can listen to a better recording?

A Goomba was there with Heavy-Thing and D Bolden Saraven.

Love it

I saw them play with Sugar Blue (encore) in Tinley ‘97. Unless they played with him a 2nd time, this is from TP.

I remember a bunch of my college roommates went to this show

What in the fuck is he doing at 39:39? Dude is not from this world.

12 minute mark

ahhhh yeah get it on

Outstanding version, but is there a less echoey recording somewhere?

This jam gets the goosebumps on high alert

I miss the robot army that were the Altmans

Matt Ruthenberg told me to check this one out!

Amazong to see these same four dudes still putting it out there almost fourty years later. Not in a comparative way here, but seeing as the deads career within the same entity lasted thirty years, the Phish from Vermont are so far beyond established at this point, theres a permanant mark they've left on the american land and soundscape. Nobody else has managed what theyve managed to do and build on. The dead are first and foremost to me my favorite American band thats ever been, but its undeniable the accomplishments these four dudes made within their realm of music. Everything and more, every passing year brings more and more fullness to their career in Phish. Same four guys, 37 years into the same moniker, their music isnt going anywhere but up up and away

Back when treys head turned into a jelly fish

Was there!

Listen to it at .75x speed you're welcome

Killer skullet about 4 rows up on the left!

Where’s the rest of 12/30/97?, I know it’s copyrighted, but I would love to see a full video of the audience perspective.

This is how they sounded when I first started listening......

Fishman.

It's so wild to see Trey and Mike walk offstage carrying the guitar and bass with them instead of putting them down.

59:15 hell yeah

Son Fucking Seals🔥🔥🔥

My God Trey was a beast in his day. And this was PRIOR to his prime (obviously) but I miss the days when he melted faces. The band as a whole is so much better now (40 years later) but Trey is much more focused on vocals these days and pedestrian in his playing. Not knocking the boys - my fav all time band, just miss the old days.

Trey’s playing sounds quite a bit like Zappa here.

I was at this show, and yes, it was f&cking amazing!

I so prefer this sound compared to The Sphere!!!!

I was there those shows and man hearing the crowd roar when Wipeout starts during possum gives me goosebumps and at the same time bums me out. Just had so much fun back then. Was on a mini tour between 3 venues at that point. I think Worcester being the final stop. Or maybe not. Can’t remember. The shows back then were just amazing. Treys guitar was at its peak. I haven’t watched a video from this era in a long time and man watching him impresses me. Was so used to it then we almost took it for granted.

Wow I didn’t know this was recorded!! I wasn’t far away from this camera. I was tripping really hard. Not something I’ve done at that many shows since usually I would be on either full tour or a long run of shows and it can be really staking of a substance. These shows were awesome. Saw some amazing shows from 97-99. Not sure how anyone can argue that phish from 94-98 or 99 wasn’t the best period. So tight and all the amazing songs! There are very few songs past farmhouse I can really dig. I think they tried to add too much lyrics. For me it’s all about their instrumentals and jams. Wordy slow songs just don’t do it for me. While with Grateful Dead or JGB a lot of the slower songs are my favorite.

1.0 all day everyday

The song of fall 97

Ahhh.... my first Phish show. Remember it like it was yesterday.

Lol

Thank you for posting 🌹🌈☮️. Loved the El Paso and more.. Jerry with a year and some change to go.. But a super Rambling Rose he certainly shines..

3:30

I hope this is kadafi shoes

What kind of guitar was Trey using in this?

I was at this show and it was a blast. I can't remember if this was the year they started a fire and drum circle right outside the Omni. I was 15ft from the stage! This is blowing my mind that I was at this show. I think I may have spotted me for a split second. I was to the right of the stage and literally 10 ft away from the stage. I know I got paranoid, because in the lot I took 3 hits. I remember leaving that area and coming up further basically where the cameraman is. I got so close, because I had camped out at turtles to get my tickets. I remember I camped out to be first and a long line formed and then the woman comes out with a basket telling people to pick a number. That was your number in line and I was furious, because I was first in line and my number was 50. I gave my money to the person 3rd in line and they bought me a ticket and it was 2nd row.

I was at this show too. This was such an incredible experience. I'm always a little disappointed that anyone listening to the recording is really not getting the full effect. That droning bass was soooooo loud and heavy, it made the bones rattle. But none of the recordings pick that up very well. But yeah this was the most incredible limb by limb I ever heard, by far.

The song names are all the songs from hardwired by Metallica 😂

To all the ones we have loved and lost R.I.P.

Theyz rippin this Ghost beautifully!!

Just when I the thought Halloween ‘98’s Wolfman’s was bad… this is next level.

I called out from my job for this show on one of the payphones in the Omni lobby before the show started. 😊

My first Phish show. It's now 54 later.
