this performance turned me into a Phish/Trey fanatic. For years, I'd dismissed Trey as a "bad singer" and I couldn't get with Phish's "goofy lyrics". But for these shows, I laid my past thoughts behind and watched with open eyes, mind, and heart. Early on in the performance, Trey was obviously as enamored with the Dead's music as I had been, and approached this song with such joy, such love, and he flashed this incredible blissful smile. That smile and the joy from which it came, melted my cold stone heart and changed my attitude about him one and for all. And his stellar playing throughout the shows proved to me that he deserved his role in that band on that tour. So I surrendered to the flow..... and have a wonderful new world to explore.... after all these years.

All the way from Amsterdam to watch the show. After watching the Dead first time in Amsterdam back in 1972. So happy to have been there.

Holy Lord Jesus Trey's solo in Scarlet is absolutely sublime. Amazing! ::standing ovation::

The joy on Trey's face is fantastic.. He's playing in " The heart of gold band ".

I think the Dead is always going to remain a very special and influential band because their music lets honest musicians explore themselves in a way which recorded music often does not. I am a big Deadhead and I don't have the slightest difficulty imagining Jerry playing what Trey did. Jerry's gift is that he created a space which he defined, but instead of fortifying it, he left us infinite suggestions of what COULD be done. Grateful Dead's music = infinite possibilities

Trey is the man! So glad he got sober and will be with us for many years to come! When Trey gets into the jam and passed the cover aspect its magic!

Trey's happiness is infectious here, can't help but smile watching him.

Well now folks... We all know ain't nothing better than Jerry and the boys on a warm summer's night. I'm 57 and I'll never forget that feeling in the show or after. Jotting down the set list and making tapes of the shows we saw. Best years of my life. Mid 80s til Jerry's passing. I got lost for a sec. Lol Smoke you another one!! My point is I am glad to hear and see anyone do GD songs along as it is with respect. These boys are awesome. JM done as well as anyone. I just miss those days. Your sister from Tennessee. "Ain't no place I'd rather be."

I’m in tears watching this. Grateful Dead and Phish have brought me so much happiness. Watching Trey with that grin from ear to ear, the exact same thing I do when listening to these two bands. Thank you so much for this video and thank you so much to GD and Phish for all of the joy you have brought to so many.

Trey's Smile during Scarlet is infectious, gives me goosebumps watching him have so much fun

Just heard this on xm; I could hear the smile in Trey's voice. Had to see if it was there for real. It absolutely is. I love everything about this! 💞🥰

This is A childhood dream. He is getting very emotional. Joy and sadness and probably feeling everything everyone is feeling on top of what he himself is feeling and channelling. The twists the turns, new spins, old favs, loosey goosey on the verge of collapse and then MAGIC . This is what the grateful dead was to me. This is beautiful.

One of phish's first live performances was a sick scarlet>fire cover. Such a great song

Trey reminds me of a big puppy dog during Scarlet. He looks so genuinely happy to be on stage playing in the band. Best part to me is that look of pure joy around the 5:00 mark where he looks to Bobby to see if he should keep the jam going and gets the 'okay'. His excitement made me tear up a bit.

Trey, everyone's favorite ginger ! From a fan to playin' in the band. Yowzaaa.....what a trip indeed.

Phish played Scarlet Begonias -> Fire on the Mountain at what is to be considered their first show ever, before they were even called Phish, on 12/2/83, before being drowned out by the house music (this was at a semi-formal at UVM). Imagine being Trey, idolizing the Dead, and then getting to play with them some 30 years later in front of hundreds of thousands. Serendipity.

It took me a minute to realize this was from the Fare Thee Well session, but then I recognized those wonderful double drums and Phil. Loved the Santa Clara shows. What a combo of the two the two greatest "jam band" sounds, magic. And you can tell Trey is so thrilled to be there. Such a joy to see, as the official video just wouldn't cut to him during solos, I had to laugh. Some of that missing footage I wanted to see, showing Trey playing in the band, amazingly!
