Yup. That's the stuff right there. Pure gold. Plus, it's so refreshing to hit a video that doesn't have ADD and actually just sits in one spot pretty much the whole time. I can live with no Leo shots on occasion if it means being able to just lock in and groove, both visually and audibly. Thanks for posting this.
This made me think about how when people call something "Dope" it is because it causes the brain to dump dopamine into the blood stream. This, in the strictest, most literal sense, was absolutely DOPE.
That SOAM is straight out of central casting. Most versions go really dark and stormy and crazy, while this exceptional version is like James Brown meets a bag of Molly who hangs out with the funkiest dudes on the street corner busting out the break dance moves. It's my personal fav version of all time. They need to enshrine this video in the Smithsonian .
Man I love Phish today but I have a tendency to listen to recent shows most of the time. When I go back and hear something like this, I'm blown away. This is primo Phish right here.
One of the best Melts of all time. Wish I had been there. Such a stark reminder of how great Melt was prior to 2009. Melts have been extremely disappointing in the 3.0 era
₉₉,Kohl Center '98 I thought it'd be cool to eat a eighth and trip balls at an indoor Phish show....well boy was I wrong!!! I spent the entire show curled up in my girlfriends lap wishing I'd just die already, to this day the worst night of my life! I didn't eat shrooms for 12 years after that!⁶⁶ - Reddit user
This is the dark funk that only Phish can do like they do. So good.
This is gold, Jerry.
Phish been laying down the thickest of jam in Wisconsin for 25+ years. We love y’all !!!!
Damn....this is some seriously tight jamming. Completely locked into each other.
In the pocket
Favorite SOAM of all time.
My God. Phish in '98 just so fuckin nasty
I dedicate this song to my brother "JUM" who introduced me to Phish back in 98🔥
Def GOAT Melt
Page is so sick with the clav entering the jam.....love it
Bruh, that's the game-changer right there!
Always why I’m pageside
The entire jam, really. So many great Worrell-esque riffs by him.
i cant not listen to this whenever i see it
Damn. '98 skunk shirt Trey can do no wrong. Best Melt I've heard, they are locked in
In my top 3 definitely. My top is Clifford Ball
Best band ever.
I love this band.
Been on a life long search for the best melt out there. This one is definitely in top 5
1) 6/21/94 2) 11/6/98 3) 8/26/93 4) 10/13/95 5) 4/21/92

@@dncphish where do you think the word “dope” comes from
Yeah, except dopamine is a neurotransmitter so the brain doesn’t dump it into the bloodstream but between neurons.
Love how Mike and Trey keep looking over at Page like “hell yeah”
Funky as shit! They are all on point here. What a jam
Such a beauty!!
lovin' it, especially Mike's riffs in this jam

One of the best Melts of all time. Wish I had been there. Such a stark reminder of how great Melt was prior to 2009. Melts have been extremely disappointing in the 3.0 era
Song used to be such a monster. Not so much anymore :(

2016-2017 had a few but great Melts
Utica '10 and the '18 Gorge melts were def pretty good imo..
Not anymore! 2018 was a stellar year for Melts! Gorge, Hampton, MGM! WOW! They made Melt dark again and I love it!!!

cocked and locked
He needed rotator cuff surgery

Downvoters geeking so hard they hit the wrong button

Toured the summer leg of'98, best summer ever. They were flying high in '98, last year was a renaissance of sorts. This year was meh....
Page gone off.
