- Part I of a TV interview I did with Phish at the State Theatre in Kalamazoo, MI on the day of their June 19, 1994 appearance there.
I must mention that after the interview I made a request of Trey for that evening's show: Run Like an Antelope. Check the setlist... :-) - Zábava
"Patterns weave...interamongst... interamongst weaving of the patterns."
"it's music without meter... but it's timely... it's a music who's time has come"
page is the man.
"I would also like to say that Axilla is the drummer's favorite song"
lord, i love Phish interviews so much....the intermixing of silly and serious answers is great.
Trey's Mom was an enormous influence on him and thus on Phish. She encouraged him to write songs. He wrote a song called 'If I were a dog' which is now the final section of Lizards that everyone loves. Hum the first five notes and you'll see how 'If I were a dog' fits. Now Phish donates huge sums of time and money to children's musical education.
We were at this show and the next 4 too. What a time to see them!
This interview is classic!!
This is actually classic improv. They might not be trained in comedic improv but they are definitely doing it organically.
@@stucothe Beatles and Grateful Dead were funny as shit, Phish are a lot nicer and spend a lot more of their time working on music but theyre still pretty funny sometimes. Also the Beatles
one day after 6/18/94 - one of my favorite shows!
What an awesome view into the brilliance of Phish... word play being a part of their creative strength in songwriting. The whole "role" section with Cactus topping it off with "honor roll" brings a deep moment of nostalgic glee during which I completely forget all problems of today recalling a time when all was well or so it seemed in the world...what a different time it was! Thanks Phish and interviewer.
Brilliance is a bit overstated more like melancholy
This is actually brilliant
Yeah, it wasn't until after I scored the interview that I realized I had no idea how to do the interview! I'm just a gawky, starry-eyed, gushing fan who's so nervous he keeps cutting off the guests - embarrassing yes, but entertaining nonetheless!
Sean Duross i think you did good. It was very gracioys of them to allow a young kid to rapid fire questions at them .
This is amazing. And btw...I tested real quick what questions I'd be able to pop off the top of my head for an interview of my favorite band and this would be all them: um...hi! I love you guys! Thank you'". The end. So yeah....great fkn job man!
Haha. Like Chris Farley meeting Paul McCartney on SNL "You remember that time you played at MSG? That was awesome.."
This is amazing. So glad you did the interview!
You did great. You can tell they knew you were a fan and still were very cool and playful and never demeaning. Such a great thing to have on film. Thumbs up, been really loving this band lately.
"It's odd, but it's good. It's without meter, but it's timely. It's music whose time has come. Thanks."
marry me page
"Makisupa Policeman was written in 3rd grade". The first and most important song. :)
"patterns weave interamongs. interamongst weaving of the patterns" i am cracking up. they are so funny. in some interviews with trey he said he knew his addiction needed to stop because he lost his sense of humor. he says his humor with the band mates was "seven layers deep." i think we are witnessing their humor on a deep level in this video. god, the roles/rolls. LOL
The interview where they reveal the Halloween album for '94...
Went to Red Rocks 6/10 and 11 what a great time to be a Phish phan
this was hours after maybe the most epic phish night...UIC Pavilion, 6-18-94. IMO best night ever. Trey discusses divided silent jam in a later interview (2003) as a magical moment. now i understand why they all look blown away...what a bunch of goofballs
Thanks for mentioning the UIC show, Doug. I ran a search and found it posted here on YT. You're right. The set's sick and they sounded great! It makes total sense they'd basically be zombies the next day.
In the comments under that show, one lucky bastard notes that as his first show! Needless to say, he was hooked after that.
Brad Sittloh My first show was in 94 at the Bomb Factory in Deep Ellum Dallas, TX. I feel super lucky to have been there and knew at the time too. Later, I found out that was regarded in the top 5, but also have heard that it is regarded as their best show ever. I wish I would have been to more Phish shows in that period, like the one you guys are talking about. Seems it was a good year for them!
@@chochemerlyn Hell of a first show. I love that tweezer!
lmao...passing the mic is awesome....it's like so high tech
That was awesome... And hilarious, due to the low-quality of it. Hearing the people in the background was awesome. The interviewer did a great job, I'd say, and I'm glad he was very familiar with their music. This was great to watch, thanks for posting it!
He's honor roll.
"Patterns weave enter amongst, inter amongst weaving of the patterns"- Cactus
" must mention that after the interview I made a request of Trey for that evening's show: Run Like an Antelope. Check the setlist... :-)"
Now, that is a truly Epic... FAHT > ANTELOPE... one of my favorite versions..
awesome work bruh!!!
God this is great. Love this band. Really funny stuff.
Zooming in on Fishman staring at the camera. Classic.
i love these guys
lmao look at page zoning out at 5:54 when the camera starts to zoom in on fish.
GREATEST INTERVIEW EVER!!!!
This is so awesome.
good job preserving this view of music history
i was there and the next 3shows :) thanx !!
This is so freaking great.
great post!
thank you for posting this! big daddy is the mack daddy.
This is the interview game where your supposed to take a hit of acid every time they say the beatles
they are so fuckin goofy i love it
Page is honor roll.
I think that might be the best al capella ditty i've ever heard
Good deal fellas. No doubt 94 was an epic year. I'm actually a poser, my first show was 95. Regardless of superlatives, I'm so grateful to be at any show where the musical heavens opened up! Glad to share the experience. I've had a thank you letter set aside for the guys for some time now...I should send it eh
same here-first show in 95-the old heads were already lamenting newbs
And now you are a wage slave to afford this crap band who preaches equity hahaha pay us $100 for a ticket and get lectured privileged white man! Hahahah phish sucks
This is pretty funny stuff! Fishman is great!
This was on my 19th birthday which coincidentally, was right around the time I started getting into PHISH.
Wow this brings back some memories. My first show was in June 94. Is it just me or were they hinting at what the Halloween costume would be in 94.
Haha! I can't believe I didn't know this existed. Watching the intro, I thought, that's the Kalamazoo state theater.. And it was! This would have been my wife's first phish concert!
I wonder if them talking about the Beatles a lot is foreshadowing to the Halloween show they would do later in 94 where the cover The White Album...I'm pretty sure it is for the record
great stuff
That guy thought he was going to be an MTV VJ
actually I liked him..seemed really cool when, in all reality, fish was a little embarrassing. He seemed like a really nice guy
You sound as if that is a crime.
Dude was/is a fanboy... So that makes the interview cool
"The gay 90s"
this is sooo funny, im crying
Did the interviewer know before hand that they would be fucking w/ him and his questions? Love this interview...good ole' fashioned PHiSH!!
Nearly coughed out a lung watching this while laughing. Needs to go into a time capsule.
Dude, THIS IS EPIC, and so is your hair.
PAGE IS SO EFFING CLASSY!!!!
I saw them at Wings Stadium the following year!
... patterns weave inter amongst ... inter amongst weaving of the patterns ...
Interview questions started off slow and awkward but got better towards the back half. You could see the band respond better once he started asking about singing and playing at the same time.
the guy farthest to the left reminds me of michael cera
6/22/94 was a fucking bomb ass show. That second set was nasty
I'd also like to say that Axilla is our drummers favorite song.
FISHMAN THAT CLOWN !!!! holding that glass LMAO
Ah, the EV635a. When aliens find our destroyed civilizations in a few thousand years, they will dig up one of these microphones, plug it in, and it will still work
they are all high out of there minds!!!!!!!!! classic phish
Nuff said!
was at the kalamazoo show.
I'd seriously love to hear your story, bud. What brought you there and what you're up to now
"Bird-singer" LMAO
Fishman is just the funniest dude ever
page is actually on a roll
A LOT more than most people.
AXILLA !!! Cool questions man.... Hope you get MAIL ORDER FOR LIFE !
so ridiculous, I love it.
Who knew, Kalamazoo! ;-)
My role, as well.
I love axilla also.such a mean riff
I told mike i liked his shirt and it can be heard on the tape of the show.
I have you beat.
This is the funniest shit I've seen in a while.
Interamongst weaving of the patterns
Page is on a roll, alright lol
page is honor roll
Their all gonzo on something esp Paige and Fish.
nice shorts guys
patterns weave inter-amongst, inter-amongst weaving of the patterns.. ahhahah
this is hilarious
..and the beatles.
Is interamongst a word? Cause I'm going to start using it.
It is
Trey and Tom wrote Makisupa Policeman in the 3rd grade!?! wow fun fact, i never knew....
Day after that chicago show man
Oh this is just so ridiculously ridiculous............it's like music without meter🫠
I'll never forget how damn HOT it was inside the theatre that night!
311 YES
"Bird singer."
it's without meter, but it's timely
@littlekidlover569
its the bassist mike gordon, and i thought that for YEARS since i saw michael cera in arrested development
Weaving of the patterns
hilarious
hahaha "interamongst weaving of the patterns"
What I want to know is who's dropping Rolls?
I actually own the "Holy Grail." This is a stop on that run.
"Pete Schall"
page is hilarious
"my parents loathed the beatles, and all other music"
dig mike's shorts, one decade behind
classic
i've gained a little weight on this tour. and i think that roll gets in the way the most on this tour.
