To be 19 years old, your whole life ahead of you, your parents still alive, you’re at a festival, your friends are just as beautiful and free as you are, the sun is setting, music pounding across the fields, every atom of the earth pulsing with potential, understanding nothing, expecting everything. And then you wake up and you’re forty and just grateful that your depression seems to be under control.

I have wasted zero percent of my time watching this 1,000 times. Tears of joy. Trey’s aged hands delicately telling the tale on an acoustic. Sheesh what a moment.

This band got me through one of the toughest stages of my life- They were my anthem for overcoming addiction. Being a musician and knowing Trey's story, made them even more important to me. I even had a dream that I met Trey and asked for an autograph and he took a vinyl cover of "Joy" and signed it but instead of an autograph handed it back with the word ADDICT written but crossed out with a big X

Perfection guys! Amazing. I am a new Phish listener, Knew of the band but never really listened. Now I am massively hooked.

Yeah, they are getting old, but still sound great. One of my all time favorite bands. Thanx for posting this.

That’s one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever witnessed.

I saw you boys play at Mississippi nights in the early nineties in Missouri. There couldn't have been more than one hundred people there. I'm really proud of your success gentlemen. Way to go.

I'm floored. The wind tickled the treetops outside my home as this song wound down, and I feel utterly serene. Trey, Page, a Martin and a Wurly, all playing from a barn in New England-with sterling coffee service to boot... Does it get any better than this?

I get chills whenever I hear the first few notes of this beautiful song.

This song hits the feels. I saw Trey play it at Alpine Valley last month and didn't get it on first listen. I think a lot of people can identify with the feeling of not wanting much in particular in life just genuine connection with someone, friend or lover. I'm in the stage of my life where my friends and I drifted apart and I have plenty of positive acquaintances but long for that deep connection. Beautiful performance too of course.

Saturday 10 day ago in India we were celebrating the goddess with amazing music and dance and than we jammed and police came and destroyed the beauty. After one hour and one of our friends arrested, the instruments and equipment taken a bunch of us went back to my place to release, playing cards and in the background the Phish guys were playing from Magna ball. The one real musician of the tribe after a while he put a smile on his face under his delighted sleep eyes and just sad, with full satisfaction:"they are goooooood..." Yes they are and...more than this I will not ask Faced with mysteries dark and vast Statements just seem vain at last Some rise, some fall, some climb To get to Terrapin Love you all

Solo acoustic Wilson under a bridge in Cleveland may be the best Wilson I have heard. It was on a set break at a TAB show.

Brings back some memories. Great tune off a great record.

OMG a live show is on the top of my bucket list

Love this song! Our band plays this one at the end of every practice.

This is fantastic. More of these... 👍

There is pain involved with this collaboration. It’s palpable to me. Two men who spent decades working together and the scars that inherently come with that. Then trying to re-meet up for a cup of coffee. Lots of awkwardness lots of trouble in the water under the bridge. But once they get to the thing they always agreed on it’s a thing of beauty.

Way back my high school senior class chose this as our song for graduation, overwhelmingly, but the school wouldn’t let us use it lol

Time for my nap …I’m old…oh Trey and Page, we’re the same age…I can relate. You two are virtual buds…love you.

Treys vocals sound so much better as they’ve matured. Awesome acoustic cover

Never been a huge Phish fan but this song pulls heartstrings I never knew I had. Never a wasted couple minutes. Thank you Cbro.

Thank you, boys.

You are always inside my head. I won't believe what I might read. I know I'll see what you might have said. But instead... I'll hear it ... Now. As I joyfully and patiently waste my time with you both. Lapping up every single note and nuance. Thanks for being You.

25yrs later and I never knew waste would become my favorite fish song

This band, this music, is everything about being in the moment and enjoying the ride. Phish has brought so much consistent happiness into my life. And this was perfect.

This is an awesome version whilst simultaneously confirming my suspicions that they do indeed have more than one tea tray ensemble available at the Barn.

Beauty and bliss captured in a moment of time..
