I have repeatedly come back to watch this video over the past few months. I cant watch it without getting a fuckin rush. Summer Tour 2009 here we go.......
nice to see somebody really rock out. the jam world has been lacking since the departure of phish. i don't even really go to shows anymore, everything sucks
That brings tears to my eyes remembering all the awesome times I've had at various Phish concerts over the years. I agree with opiestaint -- 97-98 was their peak.
The Island Tour was so f*ckin' awesome!!!!! Neva'mind the fact I couldn't find my car in Providence for an hour.. on an eighth of BOOMAZ'.. walkin' around like a fool.. and of course, when I found it, I must have walked by it a million times.. Ahhh, I could go on and on... GOOD TYMES!
Trey *was* having a blast. I was lucky enough to be there: 2 shows in Long Island; 2 in Rhode Island. Without a doubt the best Phish tour I'd ever seen. Yes, it was only 4 shows, but it *DESTROYED*. I'm a better person today because of it. Really.
watching trey hop around like just gives me the shivers, he feels the music more than anyone in that place!! gotta love everything about trey. where did this video come from? and where are more...
Wow. That is the the funniest thing I've ever seen. GO Trey! This puts such a giant smile on my face. This among so many other of my bookmarked Phish videos is no doubt a definite day-maker for me.
I saw a lot of shows between '95 and '04 and I will have to say that I honestly believe that '98 was that last good year Phish had. They still seemed so damned excited to be on stage together, and never seemed to stop surprising each other and the audience :)
apaskevi...this one video is enough to justify the purchase of the camera used to shoot it. Consider it money well spent. Thanks for sharing. P.S. Trey rules.
Jam or no jam, phish is one of the most talented and complicated bands of all time. As a drummer, I have never heard more complicated drumming than that of jon fishman's. Apparently you don't "jam" very often, it's one the most rewarding methods of playing music.
This was the day before I got to see my first Phish show, The Providence Civic Center was the next night and wow I stayed up all night. It was all worth it though for Ginseng Sullivan,2001, and Character Zero. The next night was sick to for it's Maze And Caspian!

I’ve heard this song hundreds of times and it still makes me wanna run through a wall
Bahahhaa! F'real. There is an essential vitamin in this song that nothing else has. Came here for a boost. Received.
@@phlaurelpossible4908it’s the best fr. And needless to say this whole show is absolutely phenomenal.
Do it! I dare ya!
Phish really hit their stride from about 1993 til 1999-2000. During that time, nobody could touch them live.
they still can’t. but i do love a lot of other jambands
like spafford and biscuits
Update: Still can’t, and they’re doing a festival this year since Magnaball and they did a 4 day run at the futuristic venue Sphere.
If you grew out of Phish, you were never into them.
As the years go sliding by, every 20 minutes or so I reach back for this gem. Pure swag
IN AN EMERGENCY: BREAK GLASS. PULL HANDLE
I watch this clip everytime I am in a bad mood.
Thank you Trey!
Wow. Great to Trey just ROCKING on that song with the whole pump fist at the end. Great video too.
This was always one of my very favorite builds. Gives me goosebumps after all these years... :-)
Island 🏝️ Tour Madness !!!!
My favorite YT of all time. I post it in some form any time I’m feeling down in hopes it brightens someones day
happy to say I was there
Love that strut, Trey was feeling it!
Just coming back for my anti-bad mood elixir. Ok, I just watched this a few times, and I am happy again.
Thank you Trey!
never. gets. old.
I have repeatedly come back to watch this video over the past few months. I cant watch it without getting a fuckin rush. Summer Tour 2009 here we go.......

One of the greatest events in history.
Best video on TH-cam.

How's it going?
Did ya return to the scene or missed out a lot this year?
Ahh, Tweezer Reprise.....Wonderful!!!Man, I love these guys and miss the heck out of them shows!
That brings tears to my eyes remembering all the awesome times I've had at various Phish concerts over the years. I agree with opiestaint -- 97-98 was their peak.
Hi.
I could watch this video over and over all day....actually, i have.
The Island Tour was so f*ckin' awesome!!!!! Neva'mind the fact I couldn't find my car in Providence for an hour.. on an eighth of BOOMAZ'.. walkin' around like a fool.. and of course, when I found it, I must have walked by it a million times.. Ahhh, I could go on and on... GOOD TYMES!

I'm a better person today because of it. Really.
Samesies. I wouldn’t trade those 4 nights for the world!
I covered my head and smiled when I heard Gordo start dropping those bombs. This video will never get old.
One of my favorites for sure. Love it.
I remember this like it was yesterday...good times!
watching trey hop around like just gives me the shivers, he feels the music more than anyone in that place!! gotta love everything about trey. where did this video come from? and where are more...

this video gives me chills
This show was/is very special to me. All 4 were magical but this one had some great things happening.
Trey is running 2 deluxe reverbs and his mesa with 2 2x12's damn
Thank you for filming this.
What an amazing video ! Definitely get the chills every time I watch it. Nice little taste of Big Red's energy.
What an encore to Fall '97 the Island Tour was! So much fun!!
Whenever I'm feeling shitty, all I have to do Is watch this vid and get 2 1/2 minutes of relief.
I created a Tweeprise ringtone. I love it! Actually, two of them-- one of the beginning riff and the other the beginning riff plus piano.
Dino stomp ftw
I dont listen to this kind of stuff often. This was GOOD. !!!
happy 20 year anniversary.
That's a fucking good little chunk of music, and I've never listened to this band before.
i was a dave fan when i was younger and thought his band was the best show to see.
then i saw phish.
The greatest video on the interwebz.
Me too Mafiaman. I f'ing LOVE this video. Can't wait to see them again- 13 days and counting...
this will always be the best vid on youtube, always.
phish will be back one day. one can only hope...
So much energy. Fucking love it
I saw a lot of shows between '95 and '04 and I will have to say that I honestly believe that '98 was that last good year Phish had. They still seemed so damned excited to be on stage together, and never seemed to stop surprising each other and the audience :)
Just saw a sweet Tweeprise last night at Holmdel. Sweet show. First "No quarter" cover of led zeppelin ever.
thanks apaskevi for the video...ready for the boys to be back!!!!
GOAT
simply the best !!!!!!!!
Thanks for posting...this clip might replace my morning cup of coffee!!
The 4-show "Island Tour" in 1998 was phenomenal.
best. rock&roll. song. ever.
Best 2:43 on TH-cam
I watch it and then I watch it again
apaskevi...this one video is enough to justify the purchase of the camera used to shoot it. Consider it money well spent. Thanks for sharing. P.S. Trey rules.
....and now they're Back!
I miss you guys!!!!
Jam or no jam, phish is one of the most talented and complicated bands of all time. As a drummer, I have never heard more complicated drumming than that of jon fishman's. Apparently you don't "jam" very often, it's one the most rewarding methods of playing music.
@2enable I agree, I'm so glad they're playing again, I seen them when I was younger like 1990's, they really are the best show and I've seen a bunch.
young trey, you can come back at any time
Goddamn we miss you Trey!!!!
🎊 TWEEZER REPRISE 🎊
They should really open Tweezer Reprise more. It got the Fox theater in 95 jumping.
best tweprise ever
I would give anything to be apart of that moment right there.
This was the day before I got to see my first Phish show, The Providence Civic Center was the next night and wow I stayed up all night. It was all worth it though for Ginseng Sullivan,2001, and Character Zero. The next night was sick to for it's Maze And Caspian!
It could be argued that this show was their peak.

Trey, to Mike, right after getting off stage, "Man, we fucking rocked that shit."
@ConradAbbott correction, this is a grand slam in game 7 of the world series.
everytime i come here i'm pissed i wasn't born a few years earlier. was 15 in 98' and didn't even know who phish was. they fucking killed in 98'.
The force is strong in that young jedi.
Crazy seeing TH-cam comments that are almost 18 years old.
lol yes they do, phish and dave have jammed together on many occasions
chills.
Ten years later ::goosebumps::
Won't you step into the freezer!
One video from Andy P., ay? Well played, kid. Well played.
God, I hope they still have this kind of energy left in them.
Whaddaya think today, 2021-- Have they still got it? :)
loved it.
Damn they threw down on this one!! Trey is definately a jedi master.
Robo-strut Trey is my favorite Trey
Love the chicken strut. Trey took a huge dump in his pants here, as did everyone in attendance.
Great Stuff!!!
same here man!
love the DANCING
Trey is the best fking rock guitarist in the world.
gotta love island tour
Someone hit me with those Kicks he is rocking? Stan Smiths??? Amazing!
machine gun trey, look at him go
I dont think i have ever seen him kick it like that
saw this 12/5 charlottesville, legendary
Ah, back when Phish was THE bad ass band.

This was in Providence RI. I was there. It FUCKING RULED.
'nuff said.
