That SOAM is straight out of central casting. Most versions go really dark and stormy and crazy, while this exceptional version is like James Brown meets a bag of Molly who hangs out with the funkiest dudes on the street corner busting out the break dance moves. It's my personal fav version of all time. They need to enshrine this video in the Smithsonian .
This made me think about how when people call something "Dope" it is because it causes the brain to dump dopamine into the blood stream. This, in the strictest, most literal sense, was absolutely DOPE.
Yup. That's the stuff right there. Pure gold. Plus, it's so refreshing to hit a video that doesn't have ADD and actually just sits in one spot pretty much the whole time. I can live with no Leo shots on occasion if it means being able to just lock in and groove, both visually and audibly. Thanks for posting this.
Man I love Phish today but I have a tendency to listen to recent shows most of the time. When I go back and hear something like this, I'm blown away. This is primo Phish right here.
One of the best Melts of all time. Wish I had been there. Such a stark reminder of how great Melt was prior to 2009. Melts have been extremely disappointing in the 3.0 era
₉₉,Kohl Center '98 I thought it'd be cool to eat a eighth and trip balls at an indoor Phish show....well boy was I wrong!!! I spent the entire show curled up in my girlfriends lap wishing I'd just die already, to this day the worst night of my life! I didn't eat shrooms for 12 years after that!⁶⁶ - Reddit user
Damn....this is some seriously tight jamming. Completely locked into each other.
In the pocket
This is the dark funk that only Phish can do like they do. So good.
This is gold, Jerry.
My God. Phish in '98 just so fuckin nasty
Funky as shit! They are all on point here. What a jam
i cant not listen to this whenever i see it
Page is so sick with the clav entering the jam.....love it
Bruh, that's the game-changer right there!
Always why I’m pageside
The entire jam, really. So many great Worrell-esque riffs by him.
@Roll_Todd what up rage side Pham
Favorite SOAM of all time.
Phish been laying down the thickest of jam in Wisconsin for 25+ years. We love y’all !!!!
Damn. '98 skunk shirt Trey can do no wrong. Best Melt I've heard, they are locked in
In my top 3 definitely. My top is Clifford Ball

great description
I love this band.
Def GOAT Melt
I dedicate this song to my brother "JUM" who introduced me to Phish back in 98🔥

@@dncphish where do you think the word “dope” comes from
Yeah, except dopamine is a neurotransmitter so the brain doesn’t dump it into the bloodstream but between neurons.
sure do wish we could see Page in this one
CowFunk Split. love it! thanks for sharing
Those Fishman fills!!!
this is nuts, playing is so tight

Been on a life long search for the best melt out there. This one is definitely in top 5
1) 6/21/94 2) 11/6/98 3) 8/26/93 4) 10/13/95 5) 4/21/92

It's so wild to see Trey and Mike walk offstage carrying the guitar and bass with them instead of putting them down.

One of the best Melts of all time. Wish I had been there. Such a stark reminder of how great Melt was prior to 2009. Melts have been extremely disappointing in the 3.0 era
Song used to be such a monster. Not so much anymore :(
ha ha ha ha!
2016-2017 had a few but great Melts
Utica '10 and the '18 Gorge melts were def pretty good imo..
Not anymore! 2018 was a stellar year for Melts! Gorge, Hampton, MGM! WOW! They made Melt dark again and I love it!!!
Toured the summer leg of'98, best summer ever. They were flying high in '98, last year was a renaissance of sorts. This year was meh....
12 minute mark
13:11 hmm
