10 people are clearly deaf. There is no other explanation. Even if Phish, jam bands, or Blues aren't your things, it is physically impossible to hear this song and not start bobbing your head or grooving in some way or another. If we ever contact intelligent life from somewhere other than Earth, this is the kind of song you let aliens listen to if you're trying to explain music to them. Stellar from top to bottom. I know it's old(er), but thank you for posting!
If Jesus Christ Himself came down and gave a new sermon these same people would downthumb it. They don't know their ass from a hole in the ground because this is a great Possum.
@Jonathan Birch You are in need of hearing assistance. Or a sense of musical taste. Or both, perhaps, since your comment blows chunks and exhibits an ignorance yet to be seen any where in this Galaxy.
I 100% wouldn't show phish to aliens the first time. It would be more ideal to show aliens a song with a deep heavy soul feeling. Not a bunch of audible nonsense. Which is what phish is. A knockoff grateful dead (one of the all time greats)
Especially not knowing is psychedelics are part of their culture, to someone who has never tripped, they listen to phish for 1 minute and avoid them for the rest of their life
A lovely homage to Skynyrds Swamp Music, and Swamp Music an Homage to Jerry Reeds mystery train...an homage to Elvis Mystery Train....an homage to junior parkers original mystery train 1953. Amazing!

I have had the same thought, my 83 year old sister is an epileptic, and I sent her Phish videos. She graduated Berkeley 64. Lives in San Francisco California. She now says her favorite band is jgb. Her favorite Phish song is meat stick 🍄🐟🐟🐟🍄
Madison Square Garden is such a cool venue, anyone who hasn't caught a show there should try. Right by Times Square and the train takes you right to the venue, so no worries about getting to messed up to drive. Only bad thing is I always hear about a bunch of busts during a run. I never personally saw busts going down, but the papers the following day always listed high arrest numbers.
Some performance are better than others 1988-89 axilla was. Superlative. Explosive jam the oceanic wave. Was a tsunami of intensity. I don't need to hear. It again Still. Deeply imbedded in my memory
@gags5503 best Possum I've ever heard was at the Augusta Civic Center on 10/19/10. It closed out the first set and I thought the roof was gonna blow right off of that tiny venue. I had the song in my head for at least 3 days after that show :-) Insane.
Heard this coming in on the morning drive, their channel. Was Live from Ohio in 93. Caught it from the middle, mostly instrumental part. Trey must have been listening to Vince Gill or Jerry Reed. I'm impressed!
That Augusta show was AMAZING! been to about a dozen since and that one still sticks out in my mind. The Tiny venue the parking lot and the two winter hats i bought and brought home that i still have after losing a couple times ahaha amazing night
A friend of mine went to a show and thought they're saying, "awesome". It was hysterical!..
That's what I thought when I first heard it. And I thought it was actually pretty awesome that way.
Greg Nice a dude a took to a show... thought they were saying toss em' ...
Likeeee 🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
Beautiful!
That's funny - I've heard this song a million times and never thought of that. Now next time I see it that is what I will be thinking! LOL
Same here, I saw them at Magnaball ( 1st time ever) and couldn't understand, so I sang the same word. Lol awesome! awesome, awesome!!!

Phish has maybe a handful of songs that are good. Not amazing.
Especially not knowing is psychedelics are part of their culture, to someone who has never tripped, they listen to phish for 1 minute and avoid them for the rest of their life

Trey always crushes this song.
Very true...amazing the places that trey explores in this tune...1990s trey...was so legit
Well he should. He wrote it, didn't he?

Forrest George I thought it said someone yelled possum lol
dude this is phantasitc quality for a camera you bring to a concert
09 and 10 were sick years. A lot of rips and the band becoming cohesive after some time off. Great stuff!
I got this possum that lives in my backyard and hes always creepin up to see so unexpected scaring the shit out of me
People be careful. Yesterday I had 2 Phish tickets sitting on the counsol of my car. Somebody smashed the window and left 2 more.
?
Great stuff!! Trey changes up that solo every time, and it kicks ass every time!
I LOVE comments on Phish videos. I hardly ever see anything hateful or nasty! But, that's Phish fans! Love these guys!
this song fucken sucks
If Possum dont get your juices flowing, you're phucking dead!!!!
This right here is an excellent possum
Yes...this is a great...I was at the Hartford CT show on 6/18/2010, and Possum was AMAZING as well, go find it!
I really hate it when TH-cam cuts Anastacio's solo with ads! 😡
As much as love the lighting in this video, I also think it is NOT for epileptics!
I have had the same thought, my 83 year old sister is an epileptic, and I sent her Phish videos. She graduated Berkeley 64. Lives in San Francisco California. She now says her favorite band is jgb. Her favorite Phish song is meat stick 🍄🐟🐟🐟🍄
they opened with possum in portland it was so solid! ohh yeah sick jams! Check out MEAT and Carini from Portland Mike was laying down some sick bass
Possum always does it. Always.
Anyone ever notice this sounds exactly like swamp music
Damn this is my favorite Possum
Your end is the road……

7:15 "the Drop"
Trey shreds this version, holy hell.

They always throw it down at MSG
Just so you guys know if you don’t remember, I got all my three yeses from phish
amazing quality! great job man! A++
a very strange stage - with the audience right behind the band
When did Phish jump the shark?
This is the same riff from Skynyrd’s “Swamp Music”. I love this song, just giving credit where it’s due.
Drew B fogerty, but I don’t think it’s the same at all
Ah nvm I read the wrong song name
I’ll have to check that one out
Heard this coming in on the morning drive, their channel. Was Live from Ohio in 93. Caught it from the middle, mostly instrumental part. Trey must have been listening to Vince Gill or Jerry Reed. I'm impressed!
I play air guitar for the entirety of the video
David McCumber haha my air guitar skills are at 100% every time trey plays lol
Putin for my New Years show yesterday! Hello 2023🥳
Armadillo sequel ? ? ?
People put down 2009. But this trey was so flawless during this run haha
swamp song sure does sound like this!
Gonna watch a hound dog catch a coon
found one in my recycling box today, callin' him "old blue
fucking love mike gordon.
That Augusta show was AMAZING! been to about a dozen since and that one still sticks out in my mind. The Tiny venue the parking lot and the two winter hats i bought and brought home that i still have after losing a couple times ahaha amazing night
...Possem...Lives..!
( great Stolen riff..)
@gags5503 hell yes he was, I was front row right in front of mike!
POSSUM AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
My favorite Phish song, and I was at Portland too when they opened with it, nasty!
Lynyrd Skynyrd Swamp Music
The light show is f'ing annoying.
HarpuaFSB, do u have a "Split Open and Melt" video?..
Nope, sorry!
Me to Trey’s tone: “get in my ears!”
Intro reminds me of “Swamp Music” by Lynyrd Skynyrd.
Nice man! Ya, crazy Reba encore if I recall correctly...
Amazing
Your end is the road......
Hell yes
uhhhh yeah and that's not "Swamp Music" by Lynyrd Skynyrd? RRRRRRIGHT. Nice rip off.
Damn I think you may be right,I had to go find it and listen
still both awesome songs tho
It's a tip of the hat to the best 😚
SWAMP MUSIC
Ya! Thanks!
Wow
Wordsmiths
Sweet performance.
Other-worldly guitar work.
He's good, but check out JJ Cale, James Burton, Vince Gill or Jerry Reed!
Thanks
gevalt
🥰
Sic
chances are if you go to a phish show you are going to see this song but it always kicks ass anyways!
George Jones would love it! 😂
