Phish: Walnut Creek DVD

Is the 'Left Nuts' bonus CD a reference to Trey's infamous quote in Rolling Stone a few weeks back? It must be..

AAAAAAHHHHHHHH YYYYYYEEEEEEEAAAAA!!!!

THIS IS GOING TO BE TIGHT

THE HOTTNESS RIGHT HERE

c00lmike: I think it's a reference to their political affiliation ;)

August 5th??? I cant wait that long!!

I'd give my left nut for another Phish show!

I just finally ordered Vegas 96 with the dvd goodness, and I'm looking forward to this dvd when it comes out as well. I hope they keep the DVD releases coming.

good music for a party... Girl Talk would be 1000 times better than the shitty dj's they have at the clubs in hollywood.

This a good show but for the life of me 7/21/97 va beach is way better with one of teh best Ghosts ever jam wise and a wacky set 1 and set 2 with multiple instrument jams! Actually The went was what its all about that summer and darien lake and of course the monster west coast jams bowie_> cities_> bowie 7/30/97!

The Stash is pretty good. Kind of a weird show imo to realese on DVD...

Va Beach 98/ Starplex TX 98 ( best reba ever ).... I have to nuts for sale.

Girl Talk ?? Wah? Anyways... I just put my order in. If anyone is interested they also have a nice deal on the Europe 98' Poster & DVD Set for 29$. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Guys- COME BACK!

I have always wanted them to release The Clifford Ball video. I was there and I remember many pro video cameras. I love all the good phishy news coming out. Come back boys!!!

Oh yeah.... Man I love that picture. Classic!

Already pre-ordered this puppy. Yeah baby!

I wish this was playing at the local theater like the Brooklyn DVD...they actually had a cop in the theater for that shit, but it was cool seeing everybody dancing like its a real show

finally this site has something to say about this amazingness

Yeah, i remember this show, intense rain storm and sick Mike's>Simple, etc. I have to agree though about that va. beach show. Not only was it (i think?) the american debut of Ghost, Piper, and Dogs Stole, maybe one or two more, but that '97 summer tour was when phish really started taking jams to a whole other level, playing three or four song second sets, etc. It seems like that whole tour was a major turning point toward "new school" phish. Some people got turned off from that point on by the ambient jamming aspect, but '97 and '98 IMHO best years ever.

Heady

98 rules in my opinion. As much as I love the chaotic shredding of Trey in 93-95, 98 is really the year Trey was on fire, the melodies that came out of his guitars were incredible ( Once again check out Starplex 98's reba jam, it's epic, really sounds like every single notes were meant to be, no other reba from the same year tears it like that.) Then came 2003-04 (04 being the worst) Trey really sucked then, his distortion was way to loud and he would barely play single notes and mostly nasty chord progressions.. I have a feeling though that now that he is sober things are going to be different, we might see some 98 style trey again.

PS: isn't 98 the year when they would stop listening to their shows and stop analysing them? Well they should have gone back to that in 03-04

Raleigh!!

this is awesome! 7-22-97's second set is EPIC....

my only concern is that 7-23-97 will never be released now? I have to disagree about 7-21-97 being the best "ghost" ever. 7-23-97 is THE BEST "GHOST" EVER!!! hands down. I'm happy about the new DVD....but please don't let 7-23-97 not see the light of day...at least release it as a soundboard!

they could literally release a dvd/sbd of every show from this tour! I hope to see more dvd/sbd releases from this tour in the future!(7-23-97)

You guy's seems to forget the Ghost from Denver fall tour!

While we're on the topics of best ever...how has no one mentioned this Taste yet??? The lightning lightning that struck nearby must have passed through the electrical equipment, casuse that Taste is SMOKING!! I've heard it a million times on cassette and can't wait to see it on the DVD.

What does anyone think about a 10 year reunion at Big Cypress??? Perfect for a first show back! Gives everyone an oppurtunity to attend...and we all get to hang out with alligators again!

Nolan have you got ther Clifford Ball Special that MTV of all people produced, I'm watching it right now, pretty sweet memories and great crowd shots. I just got a whole box of boot dvd's last night. My boy that I hooked up with his first Phish tix dropped them off yesterday, some ILL SHOWS, all the Halloweens, Hampton 98, NYE 95, MANY 96-98 shows. If anyone has a video copy of 99 Deercreek with the Whipping Post I'd sure like to have it. OR ANY SHOWS from Fall 94' especially Bloomington, IN my first show. Would be willing to trade DVD's, we got some OLD ones too , lots of suff at the Front going back to 1987.

im gonna buy that shit

the picture

i was at this show and it rocked. this was one of the three times i've seen phish in raleigh. i remember it started raining as soon as runaway jim came on. one of my buddies went straight to the wall and jumped over and two of us followed. we climbed over about 20 rows of seats to have security come over to us, thinking we were caught, and took a buddy of mines cigarette and said, "no, smoking" and walked away. i remember the exposion from the lightning during taste to make it all the more intense, to add to the hit i dropped earlier that night. then we ran into people from high school in new york. great show. looking forward to this.

This second set is one of the best sets of music I have ever heard. The segue from DWD -> Mike's is absolutely spectacular, definitely one of the best Phish segues ever. Get this show, you won't regret it.

YAYYYY. i do to have two nutts for sale. 97 was an awesome year!!!!

sounds good to me. the IT dvd is one of the best concert dvds i own!

THIS IS NUTS... THIS IS NUTS... THIS IS NUTS... THIS IS NUTS... RIGHT NUT... RIGHT NUT... RIGHT NUT... LEFT NUT... LEFT NUT... LEFT NUT... BOTH NUTS... BOTH NUTS... BOTH NUTS...

it just seems like they release whatever they have good video and audio of its a retroactive process or so it would seem. I mean I want my big cypress dvd. Where's that yknow..........

oh and its one thing to mention dj's etc... when talking about a festival write up or an sts9 show or something but unless one of them sampled some phish I really dont want to hear about girl talk on the phish dvd release thread. am I wrong

all i want is a taste for free

John Bell of WSP took that picture in '90. He's a good friend of Trey's and a HUGE inspiration:'

I think if it were reference to his comment they would have put in YEM 5 times!

John bell did not take that picture because i did!

PANIC SUCKS....john bell, a huge influence on trey? whatever...PANIC SUCKS donkey nuts!

i dont really like panic either but i'm not a dick about it. or should i say a DONG.

i agree with dong thomas...panic blows chunks

phish rulez!!!!

The Taste from 7/22 is mindblowing! The energy of the band keeps intensifying with the storm. Should be fantastic on film!

panic and phish are apples and tomatoes. jerry joseph made a great comment about the phish in The Earth Will Swallow You. Panic is a good at taking jams to the dark side a la The grateful dead. Phish could get dark but it was a less serious goosebumps type of dark. like ooh this is scary. fun. This looks great though. and replacing s's with z's is BAD AZZ.

I agree that the 7/23 Ghost is the best Ghost ever. Of course I am biased having been there.

Also agree big time that every show from this tour could arguably deserve to be released! 1997 rocked, and 98 used the momentum to keep it going almost the whole year, but IMO the end of 98 was the start of a decline, and possibly the start of Trey's bad habits.

Long live 97 summer and fall tours!!!
