New Live Phish Release 11/19/1992 Colchester, VT -...
Maybe the boys read my post the other day about artists pitching in for Haiti relief, or maybe they just wanted to release a kick ass show now that they are on a little break. Either way, this show has been floating around the rumor mill for quite some time, and was first brought to my attention that it was being remastered by Dog Gone Blog late last month. I remember receiving a cassette of...

Vintage Phish: 6/19/2004 SPAC, Saratoga Springs,...
Much can be said about Phish in 2004. For the most part, 2004 was the low point in Phish history, as it was visibly apparent that something was not right with the band. Between drugs, exhaustion, and the sloppy playing (most notably by Trey), it’s easy to write this year off as a waste and one to forget. However, 2004 had moments of brilliance. There were a few nights where the band...

Backwards Down The Number Line: A Year In Review
If you had told me that 2009 was going to be an epic year in Phish history back in March, I probably would have laughed at you. After not playing together in almost five years, one would think that the band would play it safe, maybe be a little sloppy, and take few chances. Well, it’s now Jan. 3rd and that is the farthest thing from the truth. 2009 proved to be incredible and a return to...

Phish Wrap Up 2009 With Explosive NYE Gig
Phish wrapped up their reunion year in their traditional NYE show. In what has been one of their strongest years to date, Phish ended the year on a high note, breaking out classic jams, some bustouts, and of course, the NYE gag.
Opening the evening with “AC/DC Bag,” the band made a statement that this was going to be a fun night. After a few crowd pleasers, including “46...

Gov't Mule Ring In The New Year Woodstock Style
I couldn’t make it down to Miami for the Phish NYE run, but I managed to catch the Mule last night at the Beacon Theatre. Holy shit these guys rock. Warren and company jammed for almost 5 hours, not leaving the stage until well after 2:00AM. This year’s NYE theme was dubbed “2 Nights of Peace and Mule,” an throwback to the 40 year anniversary of Woodstock.
Set one was...
