I went to a Dead show just 4 days before this. Oddly, you could actually tell their run was coming to an end. It was in the air somehow. I had seen them just a few months prior to that, and the 6/15 show at Highgate just felt completely different and Jerry looked about 100 years older.
Been on a Reba kick lately. Can play drums to most of the easy songs and can do the grooves and fills. But the orchestrated ways of Reba, YEM, Hood, The Lizards, The Curtain, Divided Sky are hard for me to follow. I come to watch Fish as that helps me learn as much listening, almost. It's still fun to play "5th member" even if I can't keep up.
I really don’t believe most bands…and I really can’t picture any other band even having the skill sets to cover this song let alone write it’s equal!! I know Phish had many compositions along a similar level of detail and complexity. So I’m saying it’s pretty much the mountain top for me as a guitarist who’s learned a few of their harder songs and I’d love if ppl would take a stab at a band that could handle this one at all. Maybe Queen? Idk, primus? I suppose they could both have done it but the point is they would’ve had to work so hard at it that you just have to give it to these four dudes. One of the all time greatest in rock history for certain in my mind
I’m not sure it was Reba but I’d read (from an old interview with Trey) that they would write several chunks of music that were recorded and they would sort of not listen back and then just add another unrelated 2-4 more measures that they added on and then forgot it. I’m pretty sure it is this song just before the improvised solo over two simple chords. But the “worked out” parts give it a vibe of “holy hell, how did we even come up with this crazy beautiful mess?” It sounds like music that wasn’t written by earthlings. Anyway, it’s kind of ironic how the solo (imo one of the best improvised solos consistently in the phish catalog) is just two simple chords after sheets and sheets of material that had to be memorized and practiced for 30-40 hours maybe before it could even got off the ground. I was never in a band this good by any stretch but I guess at the hours knowing my best group would’ve need 120 hours playing this and we never had the piano talent to do it in the first place. It is something that might be as good as it ever gets. I bet even Phish cover bands give up on the pipe dream to do this. Maybe I’d be surprised about my ignorance here but…I’m gonna search for a cover of this and I bet if its here at all it’ll only earn a slow ironic clap…
Was looking at the latest comment the guy said he didn't like them in 1995 and he didn't like them in 2023 either and that it sounds like being in a Guitar
@@conjandysecurityI really like Oysterhead. However, I've always found Phish to be incredibly underwhelming. If I want to listen to a jam band, I have to go with moe.
And the dynamite 🧨 goes boom 💥!! 1.0 still the best.
The way they bring the jam back to the Reba theme after those couple of dark jamming is one of the finest Phish moments
Just here to be the 1,000th kid to say I was at this show.
Still just as magical today as it was then.
Thanks boys 🙏🏼
stamping this after 4/21/24
About two months later, Jerry would die and music would never be the same. I am so glad Trey kept his music alive.

I've always loved the way Page and Trey dance off each other in Reba at like the 5:10 mark. Such a great song.
6:16 is when the joy begins
If you skip the previous 6 minutes and 5 seconds, you lose the contrast, thus the magic also. ❤
@SPINUNDRUM good point well said
Best Reba ever?!?!?!?! I go back and forth between this and 12/2/95 New Haven.
11/29/95 might be the best but this one is up there for sure!
5-16-95 and 12-31-93
@@andrewdyke5561 two great ones for sure!!!
@@CesarHernandez-nh1wz I will have to listen to that one tonight 👍

Just beautiful..

Not a Phish fan but I’ve always liked this song.

Ew
I attended this one! I lived in Indy at the time, and maybe 15 miles from the Creek.
Were i live love deer creek
@@andrewdyke5561 In the 90s, it was still just a venue in the middle of cornfields. Now I'm guessing it's totally built up around there.
Damn I love the boys so much but they just aren't this tight these days!

No one makes a sick groove go angular and ill like phish.
Gets dark and then it gets light!

It was my post it's even worse than the first time
Did not like them in 1995 dont like them in 2023 is this a 16 minute song sounds like guitar center
Trey does the guitar player faces too much.
Good music is not for everyone.

Phish is actually an AI band created by Guitar Center to sell equipment to stoners
