Phish Halloween 96′

{ Comments (3) }

With all the excitement brewing over the upcoming Halloween Phish festival, let’s take a look back to see why Halloween is such a special day in Phish lore. For the 1996 celebration, as has become tradition, Phish sandwiched a ‘muscial costume’ set (a full album covered front to back) in between 2 full-length original sets. That year, the band took on The Talking Heads classic album ‘Remain in Light’. This show is just a monster – the band brings out part of the Giant Country Horns for the 2nd and 3rd sets and, by the time the night ends, bust out YEM, DWD, Reba, Forbin’s/Mockingbird, Brother, 2001, Simple, and a fitting Frankenstein encore. Without further ado, enjoy!

Levon Helm’s Dead

Levon Helm is in fact not dead, the man is alive and kicking and fresh off the release of his new album ‘Electric Dirt’ featuring a soulful cover of the Grateful Dead’s classic ‘Tennessee Jed’. Levon’s band is led by himself on drums and vocals and Larry ‘The Master’ Campbell on lead guitar and backup vocals – a fantastic duo if I ever saw one.

Check out this video of Levon and his Band performing Tennessee Jed on the Letterman show:

Check out this great, crispy sounding AUD recording of Mule’s recent appearance at the Puisto Blues Festival in Finland. This show rocks, lots of Mule anthems (Thorazine Shuffle, Mule, Banks of the Deep End, Blind Man In The Dark) along with a nice helping of Blues classics (32/30 Blues, Look On Yonder Wall, Come On Into My Kitchen, and Zepelin’s Since I’ve Been Loving You). Warren’s on point but, then again, when is the man not? He’s may be a jamband whore, but he’s a true work horse – the hardest working man in the scene. Gotta love Warren, gotta love the Mule. Speaking of Mule, don’t miss their new album, ‘By a Thread’, and upcoming cross country 2009 tour!

Phish Halloween Festival Update

{ Comments (3) }

Over the past few days, Phish.com has begun blacking out states on the map to narrow down the possible location of their Halloween festival. As you can see below, 9 states have been blacked-out so far – I’m not going to attempt to name the states as Geographay never was my forte, but you can see that California remains. I’m holding steady with my claim that the festival will take place at the Coachella festival site of Empire Fields in Indio, CA.

Phish Is Back

Phish is back. And they’re everywhere.

This week the band released their first single from their forthcoming album – Time Turns Elastic. This 13 minute introspective pop-jamrock-ballad definitely has some fun sections, a rocking refrain and some catchy melodies. While it’s no ‘David Bowie’, it’s no ‘Mexican Cousin’ either and I’m glad to see the band at least moving in a positive direction with their studio work. Check it out at the following links:

Last night, Trey joined forces with the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra for the East Coast debut of Time Turns Elastic – his most recent orchestral composition. Big Red also offered up some phish classics such as First Tube, Pebbles and Marbles, and an If I Could encore. He let the Orchestra have their way with Divided Sky and Guyute – two pieces that lend themselves quite nicely to the orchestral setting. Overall, reviews coming in thus far are quite positive and the Phish community’s excitement level for the upcoming tour just went from 10 to 11.
