Phish Friday | "The Phish, from Vermont"
Stub via superphly.com Today's Phish Friday was an obvious choice for me considering we're publishing this on July 11. Eight years ago today, Phish played the second night of a three-night run at Deer Creek in Noblesville, IN, easily......

New Live Phish - "Taste"
The good folks over at Phish headquarters sent us a sample from the new two-disc DVD set, Phish Walnut Creek, and I couldn't be happier with what they're offering up as a snippet. In the description that came along with......
The Bays | Live Electronic Dance Music With An Orchestra?
It's been quite some time since I've written about the Bays. These guys really continue to push the envelope with live, improvised electronic dance music. You might compare them to U.S. acts doing similar styles (the Disco Biscuits, STS9,......

Phish Friday | Classic Covers and Seamless Segues
photo by ANTELOPE! Phish always chose great cover songs. Some were 'bust-outs' or just silly takes on pop tunes. But Phish also had a rotation of key, classic rock songs that they played frequently and almost as if they......

Widespread Panic Gets Free Somehow
They’ve broken free of their past, free of their own expectations, free of themselves. The pieces have fallen into place and Widespread Panic is free somehow. Try as I might, I've never really been able to become a big fan......

Phish Friday | My Mountain View Coincidence
For today's Phish Friday, my inspiration is coming strictly from the geographical area I've been working in for the past week -- Mountain View, CA. I still consider myself hugely fortunate to be a part of the Google acquisition......

Phish Friday | Stuttgart '97
Stuttgart '97 is filled with songs that, if played in the States in this combination, fans would be spontaneously erupting with excitement and craziness. But, it’s not just a novelty act. The actual playing holds up to the craziness as seen on paper. ...

Phish Friday | Boogie On, Chula Vista!
Stub © PhantasyTour.com Following up one of my prior Phish Friday's, I got a lot of requests for a particularly strong segment of the show that I had overlooked. It's more that this was something my memory had overlooked,......

Phish Friday | Lemonwheel Highlights, Part II
I thought I'd continue that "Lemonwheel Highlights" series I started a few weeks back. For part II, it's time to highlight some gems from one of my favorite daytime sets: 8-16-98 - Lemonwheel, Day II. There's something about the first set of Lemonwheel, Day II, that is just perfect for a beautiful sunny day....

Phish Friday | Chula Vista '99
For today's selection, I grabbed a somewhat random piece from my own back catalog of shows I had amassed as a fan. There was a fantastic run of shows through California on the Fall 1999 tour, and the show at the Coors Ampitheatre in Chula Vista stood out for me....

Got Your Saturday MP3 (Right Here)
I recently caught Umphrey's McGee at the Vic and a recording got posted on the Archive. I figured it fit to share at least one song from it and I can't promise it'll be the last; the sound quality......

Phish Friday | Paradiso '97
Happy Phish Friday, dudes. I'm using today's Jam in the 'Dam announcement to return to a widely traded show towards the beginning of 1997 (the year of the funk) -- February 17, 1997. Phish was in Europe beginning a full......

Phish Friday | Clifford Ball Set II, A Magnum Opus?
For me, Phish has never played a more complete, perfect set than Set II from the Clifford Ball on 8/17/96. Sure, other sets might provide more craziness. But for this moment in time out in Plattsburgh, the Vermont foursome reached the pinnacle....

Phish Friday | Lemonwheel Highlights, Part I
A few years back, Live Music Blog friend and occasional Phish Friday poster, Stanley T. Roper, made me a CD compilation of the "Best of Lemonwheel." I always loved those discs, and although I can't remember the exact tracklisting on those discs, I distinctly remember re-discovering a certain segment on a beautiful Sunday morning back when we lived in Boston: Gumbo > Sanity....

High-Energy Moments in Disco Biscuits History | 4/9/99
In case you haven't noticed, I've been on a bit of a Disco Biscuits kick lately. With all this new Bisco news on the mind, I've been re-visiting some of my old favorites from the archives. And because it's April 9th, I thought I'd honor the date of a concert that is consistently cited by fans as a key show in 'Bisco' History: 4/9/99 at the Trocadero in Philadelphia, PA....

Phish Friday | Some 'Summer of the Cover' Gems
I've been on a 1998 Phish kick lately. Not only was '98 a pretty big year for Phish, but it was probably my most active year of seeing the band in concert. As a result, I've been digging back into......

Phish Friday | The Funkiest Bitch?
This week's Phish Friday post comes from Live Music Blog friend, Stanley T. Roper (again). We were super impressed with his ability to sum up this track in less than 100 words, so it clearly deserved a place in Phish......
