Phish - David Bowie - 10/31/1989 Once again Phish.net's Video of the Week will feature a new-to-YouTube clip uploaded by Telekinetica. While we previously featured the otherworldly jam that developed out of Funky Bitch from 1994-11-22 as well as the Yerushalayim Shel Zahav that followed, this time around we go even further back into Phish history to the underrated year of 1989. Before Phish covered albums by other artists they had another Halloween tradition - performing at Page, Trey and Fish's alma mater, Goddard College. This jaw-dropping 19-minute rendition of David Bowie was filmed at the 4th Annual Halloween Bash at Goddard in Plainfield, Vermont on 1989-10-31. In this unusually lengthy early take on the tune, the quartet explore the nooks and crannies of Trey's composition leading to a dark and eerie jam complete with a frenetic finish. Shot by multiple cameras for a Vermont Public Television and synced with soundboard audio, this is by far the best version of this widely-circulating video we've come across.

Telekinetica Quiz - Anybody catch the strange audience interaction with Trey years before it seems plausible? Hint: It's after the 10 minute mark.
