Last weekend, Phish rang in 2019 with a four-night stand at Madison Square Garden, where tens of thousands of fans heard the band play one of their strongest New Year’s runs in years. But for those fans in attendance who couldn’t hear the music being played, performance sign language interpreter Terri Reisinger was on hand to bring the lyrics to life.
In a video shared on Reisinger’s Facebook page from New Year’s Eve, you can see her in action signing “Chalkdust Torture”—a song with notoriously fast-paced and out-there lyrics—like an absolute champ.
As Reisinger noted in her post,
What an honor to interpret for my favorite band I have been seeing for 25 years. Phish is the greatest Rock and Roll band out there and the energy they bring is sure to give you amazing feels! So blessed to show the lyrics and the sound to my phriend So he could share in the groove! Thank you Phish!!!
