I'm a relative new phan to Phish, always seemed to dig Cheese more, but I have really come to respect and appreciate this band a whole lot in the past 6 months. Their insane choreographed dance number to their song Meatstick using a whole stage full of Broadway dancers showed a truly different side to them. It was the type of thing I would expect to see at a Cheese show... but I guess I need to remove that stereotype from my brain.

For those that don't know, Meatstick is a huge phan favorite, and it includes a little dance that the band and the whole crowd does. This dance was expanded and interpreted into a celebration of cultures from across the world as their countdown to midnight.

The first 5 minutes are just the band doing the song. There's a few crowd shots that I love because you can see how everyone is going nuts. It gets crazy around 5 minutes. By 6:30, I had tears in my eyes. I never thought Phish would bring tears to my eyes...

Anyway, check it out! What a show!
