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, but thanks to some loyal fans, I was reminded that I... more
Phish Friday | Lemonwheel Highlights, Part II
More sunny day jammin'… This week, 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. Maybe I'm too focused on this whole 'daytime vs. nighttime set'... more
Phish Friday | Chula Vista ’99
Sorry for the late in the day Phish Friday today, folks. I'm nursin' a wicked hangover following the Perpetual Groove show at the Martyrs, and my FTP software has been acting up. Such is life. For today's selection, I grabbed a somewhat random piece from my own back catalog... more
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 cross-continental tour, and they played one mean show at the... more
Phish Friday | Clifford Ball Set II, A Magnum Opus?
This week's Phish Friday selection comes from Live Music Blog friend, Gibs, whose Phish roots run deep and whose musical mind is a bit of an enigma. He's always been a friend whose brain swells with musical ideas that he usually keeps to himself, only to unleash them at rare... more
Phish Friday | Lemonwheel Highlights, Part I
photo by 5stringbassplayer A while back, Live Music Blog friend and occasional Phish Friday poster, Stanley T. Roper, made me a CD compilation of the "Best of Lemonwheel." The discs featured a bunch of highlights from Phish's 1998 festival extravaganza up in Limestone, Maine. I always loved those discs, and although... more
Phish Friday | A Japanese Antelope Meatstick
It's shaping up to be a busy day for all of us here on the site, so I'm not sure we have time for a whole lot of content today other than Phish Friday. I thought I'd get 'er going pretty early, though -- hopefully these tracks will help... more
Phish Friday | Post-Hiatus Highlights
photo by telafree This week's Phish Friday selection comes from another Live Music Blog friend, T. Gourdo ("the 'G' is soft"). He brings us into the post-hiatus Phish era with a few of his favorite tracks from 2003. And he's even gone so far as to splice together some... more
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 the archives to re-listen to some of the shows I... more
Phish Friday | Europe ’98 Redux
Live Music Blog friend, Stanley T. Roper, continues to let his Phishy thoughts and comments flow freely. This week, he's brought us a short-but-sweet review of his favorites from Phish's 1998 summer stint in Europe (basically one-upping my Phish Friday post from last week, by saying, "ha, one show? Well... more
Phish Friday | Euro’98: Raging Pipers and Makisupa Hyjinks
(updated with video below on 3.18.07) So I had all sorts of directions to take Phish Friday this week, but decided on a recent acquisition from a tour that, at least from my perspective, has not gotten a ton of recognition: Europe ‘98. I just recently grabbed this show from the Prague... more
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 Friday history. Remember, we like submissions (with files... more
Phish Friday | Fall ’97, Not Just the Cow Funk Era
photo by fatmandy There are various "eras" of Phish history that get a lotta play, but I'd venture to say that the band's Fall 1997 tour is one of the most popular and often given the label "Epic!" Fall '97 is also often referred to as the "Cow Funk Era" because... more
Phish Friday | …And We Love to Take a Bath!
Editor's Note: This week's Phish Friday post comes from my main man Stanley T. Roper, a long-time friend and fellow Phish fiend who has a distinct nose for only the finest and highest quality Gin of the Bathtub variety. So let his taste buds guide you... What is the golden... more
Phish Friday | The Hiatus Ends…
We're getting close to the end of the work week here and I'm finding myself all sorts of swamped at work, so I just thought I'd pick an easy set of MP3's for today's Phish Friday. Remember when Phish went on hiatus? Remember when they came back and announced that they were... more
Phish Friday | Island Tour Memories
Editor's note: we're going to start mixing up Phish Friday a bit by featuring other people's experience with the band. This week's selection is coming straight from our very own Marcus Whitperson. Also, we're now opening Phish Friday up to the masses. If you've got a great idea for... more
Phish Friday | Deer Creek ’04
For today's Phish Friday, I thought I'd continue on with a few snippets from my own personal experiences with the band themselves... Beginning early on during 2004, Phish fans found themselves driven to quite a ferenzi with the announcement that they'd be breaking up following their 2004 tour; with the band... more
Phish Friday | Big Cypress Archives
Sorry again for yesterday's non-posting of the usual Phish Friday. We've got some ideas in house to get some queued up and start getting submissions taken -- might I suggest some YouSendIt links -- for future use and/or jammage. On today's version of Phish Friday, I thought it'd be fitting... more
Phish Friday | not today…
Sorry to the Phish fans in the room that might be continually looking for Phish Friday posts to be...well, posted timely. Or on Friday even. I seem to have a bitch of a time actually planning out my week and Friday seems to be the day that I... more
Phish Friday | My First Show
My first Phish show ever was October 4, 1999 in Normal, IL, and it's definitely near the top of my "favorite concerts ever" list. It's unfortunate that it was my first, too -- the night before was an epic show in Chicago where the first set alone was nearly... more
Phish Friday | Video from Europe, ’97
Quick post today, folks. I'm entertaining my good friend while he's in town for the holidays... For this week's Phish Friday, enjoy some video clips one and two from Phish, 2/16/97.
