@concertconfess2012 Yes, they did ask for no photography, especially flash photos. But they also asked people to STFU; it didn't stop them. Great show, thanks for posting!
For what it's worth, the respect shown by Phish fans during Trey's outing at Carnegie Hall in November 2011 (?) was tangible and appropriate. My mother got me the tickets because she had actually sung on that stage and had an "in". We sat in the 13th row and the crowd came dressed to the nines and were pin-drop silent when appropriate and humorously raucous when appropriate. My mom thought the mix was cool and loved to hear a bit less "stodgy" crowd at the Symphony. I must inquire, can you still have fun?
I like to think that there was somebody in the crowd, completely unfamiliar with trey and his work, just thinking "HOLY ALW;EJKFEEEEEEEEE" during the those first two peaks and the aaaaaaah boy! sounds SO good with the extra strings
why is everyone hating on the phans? you do know its trey anastatio up there right? so what if they get excited a couple times throughout the song. its not like they are throwing glow sticks on stage...
In fact it's most likely that the Orchestra didn't even rehearse with Trey until the night of the performance. My intention isn't to bash the performance. I'm just giving a little insight how the symphony scene works. However, It is too bad that the "Enlightenment" section doesn't crescendo as strongly as it should. Overall, Trey has selected and scored the song list creatively and thoughtfully as I could hope for.
I love like 90% of this version, but there are definitely moments where the timing seems off, and something just doesn't entirely jive. Still loved most of it. Although it was interesting to see the dynamic between Trey and the Conductor.
Sounds like a lot of phans in the room met up with molly before the show...Killed it though! COME TO CHICAGO PLEASE!!! We promise to keep quiet til the end, AND dress appropriate...Wont be seeing much for balloons either, its all grass not gas:)
The percussionist playing the snare misread the score or was off from the director (04:47- 05:10) right before the "enlightenment" section.The same player couldn't quite get the feel/tempo of the go-go bells at the beginning of the funk the breakdown. Trey even looks at him a few times, and I highly doubt it was to gesture "Hell Yeah". This happens often when Orchestras are playing New and unusual compositions. Especially when the Composer isn't always present for rehearsals.
Regardless or your stance on talking/yelling during Phish shows, my one music professor (a concert pianist) used to say that he is often upset at the stoic, reserved environment of an orchestral concert. Back when most of this stuff came out in the 1700s, it was music for common people; the elegance was put-upon, and often audiences would sound a little like this (although this over the top). But if you are going to go to an orchestral Trey show, dress nicely, and keep your wook-ness in check, because a lot of people who are subscription holders at these orchestras are coming to hear guitar concertos, not a Phish show
Wow, YEM is great with the rich orchestral backing. It is just a shame they allowed all the idiots that follow Phish these days into this show to totally ruin it with the screaming and clapping along during the song.
Totally respect this mission, Trey, you are a favorite musician of mine. But I gotta say... Phish's version is far better. This was enjoyable though. But it also made me realize how good your band and music is.
I love the symphonic version of this song. But I cannot stand the wookies who are yelling and even start clapping to the beat. I understand getting down to the music, but have some respect damn it.
WE NEED LESS COWBELL!!! For serious tho that dude has ZERO rhythm. Maybe Trey should make sure his orchestra has at least one black guy on percussion. I know I would. YOU GOTTS TO HAVE THE FEELIN! UHHHH!

This song is so perfect for a performance like this.
WOW! This sounds great!
I'm really impressed with the quality of this and your stash video. Thanks for posting them!
This is so epic.
Wonderful!
I am astounded at how perfect YEM is in a symphonic envrionment.
Why did it take me so long to find this.

Andrew Strever 5 years later and Wilson’s still having fun!!,
Fantastic.show de bola
Hahahaha Trey just walking around at the end awkwardly, gotta love him :)
I like to think that there was somebody in the crowd, completely unfamiliar with trey and his work, just thinking "HOLY ALW;EJKFEEEEEEEEE" during the those first two peaks and the aaaaaaah boy!
sounds SO good with the extra strings
Awesome with a simple amp and just a few effects.
Next I want to see him conducting the orchestra...
we cant help it, this is YEM in a different context. you would yell too love it both ways
If I'm ever cast the lead in a cult movie classic, this shall be the soundtrack.
Ah fuck me that bit from 5:42 - 6:04 is genius. I love Trey he must have shit himself the first time he heard them play this song!

true very true ksonic2003
I was there and very under dressed (phish heads clean up well)
So fucking fun

kinda of i like your thinking
Ernie Stires must be proud. Great job Trey.

Was this venue strict with cameras?

Damn hippies yelling out "Owww" and "Yeah Trey"
10:25 tone, 10:39, 40
What! No trampolines?!?!
haha everyone is so surprised when he changes it up so that people don't yell 'boy man god shit' in a concert hall

dont play yem if you dont want a crowd reaction, pretty simple
Talk about putting a round peg in a square hole.
I think I would like this better if Trey wasn't playing with them, but damn this is cool.
love how you can hear the guys in the audience who have no idea how to behave at a show like this
Hahaha..smh. Fucking hilarious comment.
I disagree, the orchestral arrangement is very fitting
an individual that is spun like an onion ;)
You should get out more. Alan Jackson fans probably say the same thing.
There's something extremely pat methenyian about this.
Wow, YEM is great with the rich orchestral backing. It is just a shame they allowed all the idiots that follow Phish these days into this show to totally ruin it with the screaming and clapping along during the song.
What's a spunyion anyways? This might be a stupid question...

This is strange.Why do this?
