Today& #39;s the biggest Jamiversaryhttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="™️" title="Trade mark sign" aria-label="Emoji: Trade mark sign"> of the year.

Q. What& #39;s your 3 favorite/best shows after Big Cypress?
A. Phil & Phriends Warfield 99

Q. But you even saw Phish NYE95
A. I did. My answer stands.

Q. What shows had the most importance/gravity of any you saw?
A. Same ones

1/9
2/9

Q. More than the Hampton comeback shows in 2009 or the MSG comeback on 12/31/02?
A. Easily. The hype/energy/magic/drama is so beyond anything else I& #39;ve witnessed.

Q. I don& #39;t get it. I mean, the music is great, but those are strong words.
3/9

A. It was the first true meeting of Phish & the Dead. Phish spent so many years distancing themselves from the Dead that when this happened, it was hard to believe. It was just so damn powerful.

Q. Got a ranking for the shows?
A. 4/16 > 4/15 > 4/17.
4/9

Q. Why rank them that way?
A. 4/15 was very much Trey and Kimock feeling each other out. On 4/16, Trey metaphorically whipped out his cock and laid down a tape measure. 4/17 was brilliant, but more ethereal and Kimock& #39;s best show.

Q. So tell me more about this Kimock guy?
5/9

A. He& #39;s my second favorite guitarist. Up until these shows, he was known for shitting the bed in big moments. He& #39;s the guy everyone thought was the next Jerry, but never delivered in the spotlight. Yet something lit a fire under his ass for these shows, and he slayed.
6/9

Q. Second favorite? That& #39;s high praise.
A. There& #39;s just something about his tone and phrasing that melts me. For his best work, check out KVHW in 98-99 and Steve Kimock Band from July 2000 to June 2001.

Q. Ok, let& #39;s get right to it. Rank the jams.
7/9

A. Not sure I can. There& #39;s so many every set. If you need a place to start, the Viola Lee, Sugaree, Rolling>Rider, Help Slip Frank, Alligator & Terrapin.

Q. What about that Scarlet>Fire?
A. Ugh, I think Molo only knew the calypso version from The Other Ones. I blame Mickey.
8/9

Q. Ok, where can I find these shows to hear them?
A. Look on Relisten or the Archive. I& #39;d suggest going with the 24 track master versions for a source.

Q. Got any fun anecdotes before we close out this way-too-long tweet storm?
9/9

A. This was 4 years after Jerry died. Crowd was at least half deadheads who didn& #39;t think Trey was worthy of being there. It all changed mid-Alligator when every deadhead I saw became a believer. Will never forget that moment.
