“Bathtub Gin -> Simple” 12.7.99 II, Portland, ME
Phish returned to Cumberland Country Civic Center during December ’99, an era where ambient jams were prominent.

“Jam -> Bug” 12.17.99 II, Hampton, VA
Though it sure felt like the Mothership was about to lift-off into “2001,” but the band teased everyone by dropping into “Bug.” This jam was the music behind the Hampton reunion announcement video.

“Roses Are Free” 1.1.00, Big Cypress, FL
The music that dawned a new millenium; the cerebral masterpiece from the end of an all-night marathon.

you have to wonder what the 80s music people think no about the videos they made back then. On the one hand they could ba like “whoa. what the fuck. who the hell told me THAT was a good idea?” On the other hand, they could be thinking “I made a shit ton of money all for prancing around in a tattered shirt while lip syncing a song I wrote. Damn I’m good.”
Billy Squier begins and ends with
The Stroke
I think he should totally just own it cus that video was fire.
Yeah, I had forgotten how…uh…yeah wow that video.
Always preferred “The Stroke” anyway. “Hi, here’s a song about how you and you and you and you and thy A&R guy and the record company exec are all going to give me a handjob. ok 1-2-3-4!”
Lots of getting dressed.
Everybody Wants You is another classic Squier track
My Kinda Lover was catchy
The Stroke is pretty good. Not a good looking band.
your welcome..

Rangers/ Capitals about to go to double OT. Even if you don’t like hockey, this is worth your time.
Now I can thank the BB that my OT period break entertainment contained Billy Squier epic prancing.
wow
palmer, man i wish that shit was on the networks. obummin’
My Left Toe from Burgettstown ’99…Wow!
These busters get all puffed up and swear at each other.
^hilarious
one of many instances of pure comedy today. love you kids.
Thats the worst setlist I’ve ever seen.
good luck tzaras!
Portland Ghost with Squier video muted is winning.
If ‘God Answered My Prayers’ or ‘Joy Of The Lord Reprise’ from Act II of Hands On A Hardbody transition into Phish tunes, I quit. Forever.
I prefer the AC/DC ( Fun ) Bag with the the Kate Upton video on mute.
Had no idea that Trey actually devised the drum parts for songs like The Wedge, Bouncin, Demand, and Limb by Limb
