When the lights go down, few sounds pump up the crowd more than an upbeat, muted riff from Trey’s guitar – the telltale sign that Phish is going to play “Punch You in the Eye.” “PYITE” is a pounding, invigorating, and yet astoundingly simple song. The beginning of the song is a steady pulse played in ‘A’. This one chord progression (yes, one chord) is all the song needs to light the fuse on one of Phish’s universally explosive eight-to-ten minute dance parties.

“PYITE” wasn’t unearthed until well after Trey completed The Man Who Stepped Into Yesterday, so it isn’t technically part of the Gamehendge saga. However, the song’s story – which took at least six years to be completely formulated – obviously takes place in that mythological land. The first traces of this tale materialized as part of the lyrics to “Punch Me in the Eye,” a curious one-timer performed on 4/24/87 Billings Lounge at UVM) that gave a completely different third person overview of the tête-à-tête between “Wilson” and his captive, then receded into the dismal fog for two years.
