This was my first Phish show. Completely random day the girl I was talking to was like let's just go to Chicago. When we showed up I saw a Dead shop and was like babe we gotta stop. The girl there told us Phish was playing that night. I ended up getting some tabs from some strangers and two years later we've become such close friends! I rember just standing there during this song with tears rolling down my cheeks thinking that this might be one of the best moments in my life.

This jam NEVER feels like 27 minutes. What a masterpiece of a jam

When Trey said "DIDDLEdiddle~DIDDLEdiddle~DIDDLEdiddle~DIDDLEdiddle~" i felt that

The relentless, stubbornness of Fishman to keep hammering home the groove and not ever giving up is what makes Phish so incredible.

You're exactly on point. He's the MVP of so many of my favorite jams. His gebänle work with Page @ about 8:35 is sublime, too.

And now a week later. I just don't tire of this song..or this band...this band is grand...Thanks to my son Curran for turning me on to this music of which I can now not get enough...Aggghhhhhh

how can they be so creative so consistently????????

62 shows later still the best simple I’ve ever seen and one of my favorite jams of all time. This was probably my 6 or 7th showb

What an incredible jam. I've rarely heard one that was so cohesive, with ideas that are allowed to spread out and develop. It feels very epic and multifaceted, like a suite, with a logical conclusion. Phish never fails to amaze me.

My favorite Phish song done superbly!!!

I'll take it, though I would love another newbie that ranks up there with songs like Reba, YEM, David Bowie and many of their early originals that bring intricate juxtapositions of composition and improvisation.

me and my buddy tripping and the jam got crazy he turns to me and says "Dude WERE ABOUT TO GET FUCKING DOOoooooowwwwnn" i just laughed and threw my hands up in the air greatest time of my life was at this show. *edit* i was so fucking ready for timber! like they put the timber tip in me and pulled out

that whole day was amazing. the skyline at night was breathtaking especially during cities. dosed and full on grilled cheese. forgetting where the parking garage was. fun times. and the waffle house the next morning, laughing about shit that happened at the show and getting salty they didn't play timber. oh and whoever gave me mushies for my bday, thank you! glad you also found you're van.

The Merry Pranksters had this idea of group mind where they could stand in a cluster and bounce super balls, with each hand catching or releasing a ball, all the balls in constant motion and none being lost. This is what Phish does onstage.

Could've been jamming in a different key. Trey might have considered it and knew there was no harmonic path to Timber, and thought "we could screw up this jam or play an awkward Timber or just keep going with this great jam". If so, great choice.

Timber Jerry Teases in the mid around 14:00 for sure. i wanted them to go into it soooo bad but they just jam a tease out.... still its the ( . Y . )

If you had a band, and you had Cym-bop-and-pip-a-phone-sky-balls-and-sax-scrapers, and you decided to do a cover of this "Simple" song, so you spent 10 minutes quickly rehearsing it for the first time, it might sound a lot like this.

Wow they really take off with some sac halfway thru
