This is a pretty remarkable video, one that will surely give you chills if you have any connection to a sports team. During the first set of Phish’s show at San Francisco’s Bill Graham Civic Auditorium, the San Francisco Giants were on the verge of clinching their third World Series in five years, cementing themselves as a modern-era dynasty.

As “The Moma Dance” kicked in, Pablo Sandoval caught the final out in foul territory, setting off the celebration. In the age of social media, smart phones and whatever else you kids use nowadays, news spread like wildfire throughout the venue, creating a noticeable roar during the song. Phish caught on and launched into an instrumental of “We Are the Champions” before dipping back into “Moma,” cementing one of those special, memorable moments for those fans.

Coincidentally, thousands gathered outside of the venue for a massive watch-party. Thankfully, the city didn’t burn to the ground before Phish was able to deliver a pretty impressive “Split Open and Melt” and “Light” in the second set that night.

Watch the replay below. The final out occurs at the 3:20 mark, and “We Are the Champions” begins shortly after.
