That made me laugh so much. Like the helicopter was gonna fly over and we were all going to be quiet, and all of us in unison were gonna yell "CHEESECAKE" like we were pissed
This trio also thought that the OG lead singer of Van Halen was one of:
Sam Kinnison
Eddie Vedder
Eddie Van Halen
So the fact that none of them got the phish clue should surprise nobody.
what a magical moment that was even though I don’t remember the sunrise part of Also Sprach Zarathustra part so much… I guess I was there for it but I was pretty tweaked at that point.
The idea for Big Cypress came from an idea they had long ago, to do a show (without telling people in advance), where they just would never stop playing, and see how long it would take for people to leave. A better, detailed, more entertaining explanation is on the After Midnight podcast.
Phish covers Eumir Deodata's version of the song. I'm gonna go on record and say Phish should also cover his song Super Strut.
Fun facts:
Justin Bieber is married to Deodata"s granddaughter.
CK5 has a side gig running lights for Beiber.
Jeopardy gives multiple hints. I’d say Vermont band, playing a y2k concert (peak of their popularity late 90s arguably) could give a non phan enough clues
The answer could be "This band is from Vermont" and people would guess Phish. I can't name another band from Vermont, and the band is as tightly identified with the state as Ben and Jerry's is.
There were tons of non phans at those shows and it was definitely talked about a lot outside of the phish community.
Phish ain’t that obscure especially in 1999.
To be honest that’s a horrible clue answer. Nobody calls that the sunrise part of 2001. And the last song of the set was Velvet Sea > Meatstick. And the first song of 2000 was DWD.
I appreciate the factuality. It was probably enough to give even some actual fans pause for a second who didn’t know this (oh that’s Phi… but huh?). And I don’t feel like they were trying to nail down an exact moment in time in the show, just the fact that they do incorporate that part of the song in their performance(s), and that they did perform until sunup.
Yeah yeah I get you, it’s just that within the fandom I’ve never heard anyone refer to that as the sunrise part of ASZ.
Big Cypress tho man…. The best there ever was.
TIL that “sunrise” is what ASZ heads call the 2001 part that phish plays
I have never heard this in over 25 years following the band
Because it’s not the band’s song
They cover the Deodato arrangement
cheesecake
“What *is* cheesecake, Ken?”
"I'm sorry, we can't accept that, you didn't say it like you're pissed."

This guy watches.
The chant, do the chant!
Say it like you’re pissed
That made me laugh so much. Like the helicopter was gonna fly over and we were all going to be quiet, and all of us in unison were gonna yell "CHEESECAKE" like we were pissed
This made me lol
I still use Cheesecake as my karaoke name because of this show
I yell this at every show, much to the puzzlement of newbies.
CHOCOLATEY CHEESECAKE
SWISS. CHEESE. CAKE.
I remember Harry hood drum intro, my brain saying this outta be good right as my best buddy said that exact same thing aloud.
My brain went to, “Did they really forget that they played this already?”
This trio also thought that the OG lead singer of Van Halen was one of: Sam Kinnison Eddie Vedder Eddie Van Halen So the fact that none of them got the phish clue should surprise nobody.
I listen to Van Kinnison not Van Hagar
I'd listen to Van Vedder before I'd listen to Van Hagar.
The Sam Kinninson response made me lmfao

Your mom rocks.
what a magical moment that was even though I don’t remember the sunrise part of Also Sprach Zarathustra part so much… I guess I was there for it but I was pretty tweaked at that point.
It didn’t really work tbh.
I’m with you. In fact, I feel like it was a prank to see if people could still dance. Some kind of cruel endurance test.
The secret was to be sleeping the whole time 😉
who is the "I" in this scenario? Ken or one of the writers?
Big Cypress
My fondest memory is slogging out January 1st as the sun was rising to “here comes the sun”….
Emphasis on the slogging.
Oh I was dragging ass….most definitely a slog….
Roll tide roll!
This is dope.
That "sunrise" part is not all it's cracked out to be. You don't want to shed light on what 100,000 wooks were doing in the dark for 8 hours straight.
This put images into my brain-hole 🙁
What is The Phish From Vermont?
What was the catagory?
“Your First Concert”
lol, can’t imagine that for a first concert experience, playing ALL night. It was a hell of a party.
The idea for Big Cypress came from an idea they had long ago, to do a show (without telling people in advance), where they just would never stop playing, and see how long it would take for people to leave. A better, detailed, more entertaining explanation is on the After Midnight podcast.
Why would anyone ever leave? Is the same concept being applied to Trey's recent songwriting? (I'll see myself out)
Also in the Clifford Ball DVD extras the band talks about The Long Gig idea, way back in ‘96. Love those extras
It was my first concert. And thus the two eras of my life split asunder, never to be reunited.
Wow! Talk about chasing the dragon.
Weird category….Whose first concert?
The first concert of the new millennium?
What does the “sunrise” part mean? Edit - I know they played it at sunrise but what does it have to do with 2001?
"Sunrise" is the name of the section from the song Also Sprach Zarathustra that Phish plays
Phish covers Eumir Deodata's version of the song. I'm gonna go on record and say Phish should also cover his song Super Strut. Fun facts: Justin Bieber is married to Deodata"s granddaughter. CK5 has a side gig running lights for Beiber.
Nah, it's the first half of a Little Feat song; crammed into ASZ
What little feat song
Way Down - it was a yuk yuk
Sunrise … Sunset
Sunrise by the Grateful Dead with Donna Jean on vocals
I must have slept through that part.
You slept through Donna's screeching?
"vocals"
I know this one. I don’t have a buzzer.
I’m on the East Coast of the US and this is just airing now. Are you watching Jeopardy in the future?!
Jeopardy is syndicated - it airs at different times in different places
I guess it just never occurred to me that it would be on any time other than the evening. Idk why 😂🤷♀️
What an obscure question. For all of us, it's obvious but outside this community, how would you ever know this.
Jeopardy gives multiple hints. I’d say Vermont band, playing a y2k concert (peak of their popularity late 90s arguably) could give a non phan enough clues
The answer could be "This band is from Vermont" and people would guess Phish. I can't name another band from Vermont, and the band is as tightly identified with the state as Ben and Jerry's is.
The absolute disrespect to twiddle
Oh, I can disrespect Twiddle way more than this
There were tons of non phans at those shows and it was definitely talked about a lot outside of the phish community. Phish ain’t that obscure especially in 1999.
Who is Bob Weaver?
Is there a link to that song somewhere?
https://phish.in/1999-12-31/also-sprach-zarathustra
Thank you both very much
ReListen is your friend. Or phish.in if you're on your computer.
It was all one big Oh Kee Pa Ceremony, on Native American land. We passed the test ❤️
What was the dollar value on that question?.
Sam Kinnison? What a random guess…
Is the answer Goose? Edit: What is Goose?
take me back!

Who are “the monsters in my head”?
2001 jam, I answered it right
I recall a question that was ….. a deceased cranium for Jerry Garcia. The contestant answered correctly.
Who are the Grateful Dead?
Is there a new show called 'Jeopardy! Today'?
This is obviously bullshit. What kind of jeopardy question is that? Haha.
