Agreed. I’ve also thought if “The Show” was officially released on DVD, it’s very unlikely I would ever watch it in its entirety…
:-/
It’d be one of those things that you have to physically, emotionally and psychologically prepare yourself for.
Taper your Phish listening, eat a big pasta dinner the night before, stretch thoroughly…etc.
For me it helps that I was there since all the memories come flowing back…it’s also sweet that the band was able to truly let loose on basically every song and just explore and fool around and let the music take them where it goes. It’s true jamming freedom without worrying about the clock or anything.
Of course I’ve never listened to the entire thing straight through except for when I saw it live…I usually just don’t listen to seven straight hours of any music.

I’ve been thinking about this and wondering how much of the praise that BC gets from fans is really just due to the fact that Trey has been quoted as saying that it is, in his opinion, the best show Phish ever played? Certainly that quote alone is enough, in most people’s minds, to hand the heavyweight championship belt over to Big Cypress. But how heavily have fans’ opinions been influenced by that quote?
I do concede that Trey’s opinion on the subject carries much more weight than any average fan’s, though. Or does it?
Yes, it does.
Unless that fan is me.
Or anyone on this board.
Except me.
Edit: goddammit, this post doesn’t make any sense out of context (starting the second page).
if it was released it would be the best music dvd ever
does anybody have soundboard recordings of these two shows? I was there and loved every minute of it, and the audience recording just isn’t cutting it for me…
There are a few songs around somewhere in SBD form…
Mike’s Song I am pretty sure is one of them.
GAWD I love the Split–>Catapult
So F’n nice
What’s Big Cypress? A song?
A state of mind, maaaaaaaan.
^^ yes. It is what was once called chicken pock! see oct 2001 mars run!
it’s a kind of tree found in jersey city.
that light up or leave me alone was one of the first songs that i heard when i started looking more into phish. i got 12-30-99 from one of my friends and the last minutes of that song are really on point
