NO JOKE: FIRST VIDEO OF "THE PENDULUM" WILL BE RELEASED APRIL 1ST

On April 1st at 4:30 pm EST, Tom Adams (@Reelife_Tom) of Reelife Documentary Productions will release never-before-seen video of Phish performing a "The Pendulum" jam, filmed during the soundcheck before the 12/7/90 show at Hampshire College in Amherst, MA. According to phish.net's records, "The Pendulum" was last played on April 1st, 1986 - meaning tomorrow is the 35 year anniversary of its last live (and what was thought to be its only recorded) performance. Tom has released a teaser video of additional footage featuring Marley getting kicked out of the venue:

Stay tuned for "The Pendulum" jam, which drops tomorrow in the link below at 4:30 pm EST:

We're totally happy with the way things are going, and can't wait to see the rest of the footage. Thanks Tom!

In 1990, they were all in their mid-20s and had the whole world in front of them. Can't wait to hear what this iteration of Phish has to say! Thanks, @Reelife_Tom : )

That was really...good! That jam would be well-received during any era. (And, as always, Page is lookin' natty.)

Score: 1

Is that John Greene (formerly of yeP!) dancing at the 4:20 mark?

Awesome video BTW, thought I heard some of The Wedge in there early on, and definitely some Low Rider at the end.

Sure looks like him!

I caught that Wedge riff too, cool that Trey was playing around with it 2-3 years before the debut

I got an email out to see if that’s John... could be.
