@Landon Caeli,
Apologies, I uploaded the wrong video on post#47.
Here is the one Inintended to post. It's a pretty cool song with a great message.

Phish's recent 3 show run in Cancun is now available in the public domain for free downloading on bt.etree.org.
For those of you not familiar with it, many bands officially allow taping of their live shows as long as they are distributed free of charge. bt.etree.org is where you can find many ( if not all ) of these free recordings. The volume and diversity of free live music on etree is astounding. Plus, no ads... It really is free.
Nite 1, most people were talking about the "Spock's Brain" opener. But for me it was all about the encore which was 2 songs "Waste" and a Jimi Hendrix cover of "Bold as Love".
For nite 2, most people were talking about the "Y.E.M." (You Enjoy Myself) opener and 26 minute "Set Your Soul Free". But the entire 2nd set is worth listening to if you like improvisational instrumental rock. 6 songs, 90 minutes, it was a straight up dance party the whole time. Plus, I really liked the single song encore "More"
For nite 3, the encore was ridiculous. But the stand out single greatest song of the whole run was "Say it to me Santos". This song captures the essence of the Phish phenomenon. It's a song that debuted as part of a Halloween gag where the band "dressed up" as a Swedish rock band. This song, "Say it to me Santos" is absurd, it means nothing, but it has become a vehicle for creativity and improvisation on stage. There's more to this story. If you want to read about, a link to the Jambase article is below. I'll also include the official video of the gag.

It's this humorous spirit and creativity that captures what Phish's music is all about. It's about freedom. It's about fun. And each band member is an amazing accomplished musician.

Excerpts from Jambase on Phish's recent 3 night run in Cancun 02/21 02/22 & 02/23 2019:
"
Phish kicked off the third installment of their Phish Riviera Maya destination event at Barceló Maya in Riviera Maya, Mexico on Thursday night with the first of three full shows. The quartet was less than two months removed from the best New Year’s Run in recent memory and fans were eager to see if they would keep the momentum going in Mexico. By the end of the evening, the answer was a resounding yes.
Friday night’s concert featured another substantial bust out in the first set that followed an unexpected choice to open the show, “You Enjoy Myself". YEM, the most-played song in the band’s history, had not opened a show since the summer of 2003. It was an unexpected choice, the 12th known “YEM” first set opener. The second half came packed with a pair of big jams, old-school staples and “More.”
Coming on the heels of two shows that featured huge bustouts and huge jams, Saturday’s affair had less of each. But it did have some brilliant improvisation in the middle third of the second set, some excellent playing throughout the night, and an antic-filled six-song encore.
