Yeah man. I grew up in Vermont, and was blown away by Phish in the late 80s. I've seen them at house parties, colleges and tiny bars. These were the golden years
93 is when I was first introduced to Phish. Such a great year for them, possibly my favorite because I think that's the year they reached peak performance and energy. They did get better in some ways in later years, but not with the same ferocity that they had in the early 90s, especially 93.
As a fan since the mid 90s I’m stoked to watch this. All these years later and they are still on another level. 12/31/23 ranks in the top shows I ever saw and not just because of gamehendge. Their playing was nothing short of phenomenal
@@CJ-mt6zd It was still horrible compared the original performance. Old men, less energy. Rich men, less drive. Phish is just a scene, now. Has been since the mid 90s. Just like what happened to the Dead in mid 80s. In fact, the "sceneification" of the Dead is what led me to start seeing Phish in the first place. Then the same thing happened to them after Jerry died. That whole toxic self cannibalizing scene jumped on the Phish train
@pimbbmp I know what you mean. I actually stopped salivating over Phish in the mid 90*s myself, but that's what happens when the secret gets out with all good things, and bands, not just Phish or the Dead. When anything gets commercialized it loses that special feeling/vibe. I can maybe say the same thing happened with Nirvana and maybe even Sublime, and Red Hot Chili Peppers - but that's going down a long winding road now... To me, I don't regret the amazing moments I've experienced with any of these bands. They've impacted my life for sure, and for that I'm Grateful. Cheers mate.
Was that the one where y'all drowned them out with Michael Jackson's Thriller album before they finished and they kept playing with Trey waving the check saying "you paid us already!" ?
Wait are you the one who turned on thriller to drown them out because they didn’t sound great? Lol no hate or anything I’ve just heard that story for years and always thought it was funny
The best early years compilation yet. I’ve heard all of this before doing my own research in their beginning and there’s a YT channel with early shows starting from 84 that I’ve listened to. This is wonderful to watch and your dedication doesn’t go unnoticed
Dec 1, 84 at Nectars. Went to the show in between final exams while at Vermont Law School. A fellow classmate knew Jeff. After a couple hundred GD shows in the interim, I’m fully enjoying the Phish train now. Thanks for the music, and the Joy at Mansfield. I’ll be back at Nectars this year on Dec 1; come and have a drink!
Wow I love your format of showing clips from the best of a band like this, as a newbie to Phish this was some necessary 'aesthetic history.' Great job!
Honestly, I'm so burnt out on 93 and later phish, I've been going back discovering how the songs were finalized and created, and thanks for doing this.
Been there brother. If it weren't for picking up guitar in 2012, I may not have found my way back. That being said, I struggle to like anything released after 2000/Farmhouse, and haven't had the impulse to see them live since the end of the 2000s. I saw them once or twice in the 2010s, but don't really like the way the music is played at their shows these days. It like it's too safe or something, if that makes sense. It's missing the edge it used to have for me. Phish is putting on a festival in my home state(Delaware), about 30 minutes from where I live...and I don't really have a desire to go. I still absolutely love the band and their music...I guess I just miss the old days. 😕
@@erdtree_larrylikewise. I saw probably 50 shows from 93-97 and after 2000 farmhouse I saw maybe 3 shows in early 2000s and I was done. The magic was gone
Damn 93-99 Phish is some of the best exploratory Phish ever. Pre 93 is great but much more predictable. 2009 forward is boring and definitely has lost its "edge". But 93-99 and 2003 some of the best improv ever
@@kh7955 the thing is, there are jams from 93-94 that are way more random and exploratory than anything after. Boweie>jessice>Bowie>Jessica> MLB jam, trey tapping metal riffs while fishman does metal screams......that level of randomness didn't happen all that much after 94.I agree overall tho
This sent me back to university in the very early 90s.... 10 years later I grew out of phish last seeing them in 2002... then last year met a friend who got me listening again... This really reminds me of what i loved about this magical band. I watched the Gamehendge set and just had visible cheers during the Lizards. This was cool!
This is actually really cool. Thanks for putting the work in to make something like this. I think a lot of fans would really enjoy this. Would also work as a podcast.
Ha this is great, I was in my 20s in the 80s and saw them at Wetlands when they came down from VT. I remember them driving up in their white truck that looked like an ice cream truck lol, I thought it was pretty cool. I got hold of Junta and The White Tape and thought it was the most original shit I'd ever heard up to that point and was hooked. 40 years later here I am getting ready to go to Bethel, streamin the rest of the tour. Long strange trip!
Big cypress was my first so I’m a late 1.0’er 😂but I’ve got 267 shows under my belt…my life has been forever changed (for the better) because of these 4. Than you Phish!
I’m a late 1.0er too, saw them at deer creek, cincy, and alpine that year. It’s strange looking back,because I had no idea what a bunch of the songs were, and there was no easily accessible recordings to hear rarer non studio tracks, so my only point of reference was the studio and official live releases they had released at that point.
Thanks for putting this together Brendan! Really cool. As a OLD fan who saw 100+ shows in the 90's, this was cool to see the even earlier days, song formations, jams, etc. Well done!
First show was in a medium sized bar/music hall in ‘92. There was a distinct group of maybe 12 kids obviously on tour with them. 31 years later……..They’ve never been better and are still climbing to the peak of their career powers. And it’s a beautiful fucking thing man
@@musicnosuck hey thanks for your input. I def know the difference in their sound in that era to now. As I’m sure you know music is universally subjective and for my preferences I waaay prefer their sound now to the 90s. Sure it had more raw youthful energy and power but in my world that doesn’t equate to better always. In the time since they learned a lot about finesse, spaciousness and nuance. A different depth of soulfulness came into Treys vocals and songwriting. They grew up and lived enough life for it to reflect in the depth of the music. All in my opinion of course. However Trey was interviewed just a couple weeks ago expressing that he feels like they are just now hitting their fullness and stride as a band. I have to agree.
@@novakaya He has tickets to sell. It's all Barnum and Bailey there now. I still have fun at them either way. Not trying to compare their dad rock to them at their height of psychedelic prog rock.
First show was the weekend run in '99, 7/15 & 7/16 I believe if I'm remembering correctly, at the PNC center in central Jersey . Was a sophomore in high school and that was the beginning of a decade long obsession that has so many good memories. Haven't thought about them in a while and finding your channel is helping bring many of them back to the surface. Lost my virginity in that parking lot heh... :) God, I would bathe in blood to conjure up a real, legit ganja gooball from back in the day. Just don't make em like they used too. Or maybe it's that edibles are everywhere now and super corporate, so it seems a little less magical. *Shrug*. Anyway, Good times, set to amazing music! Thanks for the videos.
For real. I like every era of them but 1.0 was just so obviously different. Youth factor can't be ignored. It's just the way it is lol. Any newer fans please don't think all of us are haters. You would understand if you could have experienced it. That said I just did the 2 Dayton shows. This is my absolute favorite band I'm talking about.🤝
Very nice! Thank you sir! Enjoyed hearing the old school roots of Phish! In my eyes and ears Phish is a legendary American band with the same OG members! Still rocking it today! Have fun at Dicks y’all! See you in Dayton! 🤟
First show I saw in the late 80's. I was doing Dead tour and then jumped over to do Phish tour from 91- 94. Was in Chicago for Jerry's final shows, and then went back to Phish until the early 2000s when I moved to Nepal, then Chile, Mexico, and back to the states. Always have a special place in my soul for Phish. Being a Texan I was so proud when they played here for Treys birthday being that he was born here. Great doc!!! Good work!
they played very similar videos on the screens at the 20th anniversary show in Boston in 2003 and the 30th anniversary NYE show at MSG in 2013. I remember a lot of specific scenes from those, specifically dorm room Fluff cut. Don't ask me how I possibly remember that, but they can both be found on TH-cam.
Cool Brendan, one thing that is often overlooked, well, I heard Trey in an interview talked about being at the Dead show at the college I think, in 1983 28:5629:07 (right?) and how much it meant to him (weir was also in this interview, very cool 🎈😎😁😸👀✌️🎸💨
That was a great talk! I think he was talking about Hartford, CT 10/14/83, and I know there's a theory that Jerry strumming a chord before 'Mama Tried' is what led to creation of the Antelope intro
Great job. *Coming from a phan with deep roots to Killington, VT and Rutland, VT. Followed the boys since 1994. Just subscribed. Just as well got all 3x nights in Nashville, Tennessee tickets.

21:00 does anyone know what building they are in front of? It looks like UVM campus but the date says 12/6/86 which they played the Ranch in South Burlington.
@@Triumph865 thank you! So the numbers are what the fan community has been using to mark the different “eras” the band has gone through in their career. ‘1.0’ marks their formation in 1983 all the way up to their fall tour in 2000 before they went on a 2 year break. 2.0 is when they came back in 03-04, but broke up due to drug problems and lack of direction going forward. 3.0, they reunited in 2009 and toured until winter 2020 when covid hit. And 4.0 is then obviously post-covid! 1.0 in the 90s is really when the band was at their most raw and innovative. They were constantly trying to prove themselves and reinvent the live music industry on a day to day basis. That’s why so many of us are obsessed with that era.
@@BrendanMcBrideMusic oh sit haha learn something new everyday. i have been listening since 1997 when i was in hs and have seen probably 22+ shows since then including mondegreen. never heard of this way of indicating the era's, but makes complete sense. After years of listening and going to shows, my favorite era is the 1995-1997 years. As a guitarist myself, i feel these 3 years showcase the best of Trey, technique and creativity wise.
Back in the day you had to beg for a tape copy of a show , or bootleg off a friend .. The new gen is very spoiled from what there ears can enjoy now .. peace ✌️
Oh I agree! For the record, 6/17/04 and 10/21/95 were the only Phish shows I had for years, as I became a fan right after the breakup. I just didn't think to go deep until that 2018 show reeled me back in
Thanks to Brendan for this video... It seems we can derive the following about the members of Phish from the earliest stages: A. They were all very talented at young ages B. Already peaked talent wise by the late 80s (they haven’t really gotten better, but they definitely got older) C. Were a nerd band that played for nerds before the hippy phase (on both sides) D. Thank God that Trey isn’t that gingery anymore🤮...he would have to go to the same hell that Carrot Top and Shaun White are bound for had he remained so...

Back in the day you had to beg for a tape copy of a show , or bootleg off a friend ..
The new gen is very spoiled from what there ears can enjoy now .. peace ✌️
Oh I agree! For the record, 6/17/04 and 10/21/95 were the only Phish shows I had for years, as I became a fan right after the breakup. I just didn't think to go deep until that 2018 show reeled me back in
Oh the shitty bootlegs I listened to over & over
Thanks to Brendan for this video...
It seems we can derive the following about the members of Phish from the earliest stages:
A. They were all very talented at young ages
B. Already peaked talent wise by the late 80s (they haven’t really gotten better, but they definitely got older)
C. Were a nerd band that played for nerds before the hippy phase (on both sides)
D. Thank God that Trey isn’t that gingery anymore🤮...he would have to go to the same hell that Carrot Top and Shaun White are bound for had he remained so...
Phantastically whale done!
I always wondered why this band was so weird. Now i understand a little bit better. 🎉
listen to some of these, everyone sounds like kind of elementary, except for Fishman. he's just a force of nature ig
Wow
You show a lot of pics with holes worth with music from 87…back to editing
