"Free" from Phish's 5/28/2022 show at The Wharf Amphitheater, Orange Beach, AL. Download the entire show now or stream via LivePhish+ at livephi.sh/ph220528
God, these guys have just been the pinnacle of musical theory of every genre in a category and league that the world has ever and will ever see. Been a while since I watched, or at least noticed the age on these guys now, the shot of Trey vibing his classic Free intro lick hits me right in the heart man. Alot of different images of him over the years flipbooked through my mind. It's been the same riff for decades, but it is so unique and special every time. You only get that with Phish. He's so mellowed out and chill in his playing now, idk its like watching him all grown up lmao. That's weird to say, but ya just a structured, mature sound that's definitely " '22 Trey". If you're watching this, you know what im getting at. *"That '94 Squirming Coil"* etc. This actually is probably my favourite Free I have seen. While Cactus over there woppin in the code to the god damn fountain of youth over here on that bass ending the song 5 years younger than the start
Great call. I was there and these two go side by side. I got to witness them both and it’s really f’n cool what’s going down right now. They’re just so good it’s wild. Trey and his new board? No more dancing!!!!!! Babahhaahahahahb. Sound LABORATORY time!
I was hesitant to click on this version of Free. There are so many good “back in the day” versions to choose from. But, man this one slays! How Phish how? Impressive
Wouldn't say absolute favorite but its definitely always been up there for me as well. I love the melody, it really is like being carried away in a celebratory fashion lol...👍✌
This is a pretty sick Free... I'm gonna say top 5.... I heard the first now the last live version.... I've always been a fan... Good thing Billy can breathe...
I'd take Alabama anyway over a bunch of NYC snobs. Cleaner, safer, more chill. Less expensive. Borders the best state in the union right now. I'd take it over the northeast or west coast any day.
I first saw Phish in 1991. I was 19. I have been to over 50 shows. Love them. But. Like me. They are showing age. I wish. For the younger generational phans . 20 years ago? This tune. Man. Wish you were there.
@@allenarmstrong6056 right lol. Not to be an asshole but don't try to hijack a 40yr old bumper sticker referring to a different band. Especially when you know 50% of new Phish fans are gonna think you made that up. Not out of ignorance but just youth.🤣
@@bluecollar825 considering your handle is that great song I assumed you liked the OG Jam Band but what we need is Jimi Hendrix stuff his family is doing a real number on us unfortunately. 😓🚬💣🔐
@@allenarmstrong6056 yeah but do we really know what's out there? I agree I would love more Jimi material but don't just throw any old bs at us for a quick cash grab. Same with Floyd. They have a ton of early concert material but it all sounds so bad regarding the recording quality it's almost unlistenable. But with all the new equipment Im sure they could salvage some of it. I remember that GD bumper sticker from a family vacation in the early 80's and wondering what the hell it meant. My sister went away to college and I then found out in junior high in '89. Your post had me laughing tho.👍✌
Hey no fair that's 6! Lol... Mine even tho you didn't ask... Billy Breathes The Story Of The Ghost Rift If Im going with 6 I'll throw in... Farmhouse Joy Hoist 🤪👍✌ This a funky Free for sure got me bouncing my head without even realizing I was...🤣
@@allenarmstrong6056 anytime Space Ghost. I think fans give their studio albums an unfair rap. Of course I prefer live Phish but some of the studio stuff is a good listen imho. I feel Time Turns Elastic is the only miss on Joy because it didn't translate live. And maybe Ocelot got too much set rotation for a little bit. It seemed like I was catching one everytime Id see some shows lol.
I kid,but I did stream the new years gig and I will say that around an hour and a half in they made me sleepy. I like phish alot but I miss them circa late 90's early 2000's. They rocked a little harder.
@@mattymize Oh yeah. For sure. Phish in the 90's was insanity. They're in their 50's now though and I hear the work that they were doing back then still coming to fruition and finding new ways to express itself. But yeah, Phish was probably the best bar band ever.
I like too think it's at least 3 I'm partial to Hampton 98 My 1st show Trey was hella pissed at his rig kicking the shit he ended up throwing it around and picked up his drumsticks and started hitting his Lil 🥁 rig.....
@@evoshandor11 Kuroda doesn't really control the lights I'm pretty sure The Band does though maybe they don't anymore but when I first started seeing them in 95, that was a premise... I've seen PeteC tackle afew tripping people who thought it would be ok if they got on stage with the band ( also 95 this 1st show had that, treys Lil 🥁 and a giant chess board and we won, it's tied we need too start asking for the rubber match
Can we get the rubber match of chess??? We won 1st they won 2nd or flipped but it's tied... Trey Page Mike Jon tie-breaker....chess??? At the waterwheel foundation and whom ever wins gets the title...
That was pretty sick Free. They are still rocking 30+ years. Now there throwing in diff sounds. They killin it still to this day!
Great first set. Took 2 of my buddies that had never seen phish before and they had a blast
I also took two first timers!
These are the kind of comments I’m here for :)
Same here brought a couple newbies! My last show was 2 nights at The Gorge in ‘98!!
I love bringing first timers! And then No matter how much they claim to not be into the music of phish they always still have the time of their lives.
Was my first run ever! For sure gonna be a lifetime thing now

My favorite version since Brooklyn 2004. Well done!
Check out the Miami nye 2003 version. Face melting. Duel between Mike and Trey. Epic stuff.
they did an awesome free in toronto this week. 8/10/22

@@herbythechef7624 it was great, trey kept teasing in throughout the show.

Mike centered jams are so much fun
Seriously might be my favorite Free ever. What a filthy, brain tickling treat!
Life changing experience this one was. Glad it got uploaded.
Page looks very proud of himself around 5:50 ... rightly so.
Phish is good. Thank you Phish.
‘Nuff said
Favorite song of all time has always been
Wouldn't say absolute favorite but its definitely always been up there for me as well. I love the melody, it really is like being carried away in a celebratory fashion lol...👍✌
FREE = One of the greatest songs by one of the select greatest bands in the known universe.
Sounds Rad, Mike! Love how much fun Page is having!
Mike be lightnin up that sexy bass…. 💣
It goes so well w Trey's guitar, melding with each other.
Trey looks like a Muppet in a nice shirt!! This is my favorite free since the 90's. The warf was great. Very intimate. Only a 10,000 seater!

This is a super crisp rendition. Epic
Fantastic. Great post
Yes!!! Thank u!!!!!!!
Omgosh this is so good
Holy Schnieke this was hot fire. Almost worth going to Alabama for....
I'd take Alabama anyway over a bunch of NYC snobs. Cleaner, safer, more chill. Less expensive. Borders the best state in the union right now. I'd take it over the northeast or west coast any day.

This one is insane!
I’ve listened to this free a gluttonous amount of times
As a bass player I'm amazed at how good Gordon is with a pick it's amazing 🤩....I use my fingers I can't pick like him shredding since 1994
If humankind had to send an entourage to meet aliens we should definitely send Phish. They’d know what to do.
They sound better than ever.....
I think current phish is the best they’ve ever been I like 2013 a lot and some stuff in 98 but they’re totally in another world rn
Freaking DOPE!!

Wow! So phunked up and phreee!! Very different from Deer Creek in the 90's, which was more rock anthemic...
This shyt made me Split Open and Melt 👽💨💨💨
Mike kills this version omg
💙
Aw yeah
The Dudes! 🙌🏼
4:07 Mike going in smooth. Trey hitting the chords while Mike getting slinky sounds magical.

Wish they uploaded Sigma Oasis instead but oh well this version is above average
That sigma was muy grande!
grimey phish jams
Oh wait, I get it.
Decent jam. Wish they’d take this out for a longer walk
4.0 is a million times better than 3.0
Yep
Fire in the hole!!
Who is Phish and why do they keep following me?
Huh? This grateful dead shirt....cmmm. How bout something Og or original....

Love how loose phish has gotten the older they get. Not forcing anything, letting it be whatever it is....
Floating in the blimp alot?
Beam me up Scotty
Holy shitballs!
I'm more of a mozzarella cheese stick incident guy.
Be great if The Rhythm section could win for a change.
See sharing is caring to get the new one
Rack them up Sam
Hear that new country song broke my heart I don't own a freezer
Only the high notes saying something else also but what ?
The hire tweezer works in the surface position

Dirty and free
this was phucking nasty as phuck
Well there ya have it🧞
Seriously might be my favorite Free ever. What a filthy, brain tickling treat!
Great band name…Filthy Brain Tickling Treat
Lets not go overboard, kuroda didn't use the the white lights on the Freeee chorus.
1.0er here
I like too think it's at least 3
I'm partial to Hampton 98
My 1st show Trey was hella pissed at his rig kicking the shit he ended up throwing it around and picked up his drumsticks and started hitting his Lil 🥁 rig.....
@@evoshandor11 Kuroda doesn't really control the lights I'm pretty sure The Band does though maybe they don't anymore but when I first started seeing them in 95, that was a premise... I've seen PeteC tackle afew tripping people who thought it would be ok if they got on stage with the band ( also 95 this 1st show had that, treys Lil 🥁 and a giant chess board and we won, it's tied we need too start asking for the rubber match
Can we get the rubber match of chess??? We won 1st they won 2nd or flipped but it's tied...
Trey Page Mike Jon tie-breaker....chess??? At the waterwheel foundation and whom ever wins gets the title...
