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.
Phish Friday | Late Edition (again)
Man, I'm actually doing a pretty shitty job of getting out these Phish Friday's in a timely fashion. I might have to re-think the name of the category or something... At any rate, I'm working out some plans to ensure that your friendly Editor gets the break he needs while... more
Phish Friday | NYE 1995 on YouTube
Phish - Strange Design, 12/31/95 MSG [YouTube] My (current) favorite Phish song... As a bonus (and from a prior Phish Friday request)...here's "Punch You in the Eye" from the same show. Phish - Punch You in the Eye, 12/31/95 MSG [YouTube]
Phish Saturday | Old School
This week's selection was just chillin' on my hard drive and I figured it was good to share. It's from Phish's first trek to Red Rocks back in 1994... Phish - Tela (live, 6/11/94) [mp3]
Phish Friday | Blizzard Edition
I'm finally dried off after this morning's trudge through the snow. Chicago got rocked by a winter storm this morning and I've been moving a little slow ever since, especially on our this here music blog. As I'm certainly phoning it in a little bit today, I figured it was... more
Phish Friday | Vacation Late Edition
Sorry for being consistently late on these Phish Fridays but I'm so friggin' determined to keep it going. I promise that I'll be a little more consistent in the near future -- there's a lot of inspiration re-flowing as a result of my much needed vacation... Enjoy the beginning of... more
Phish Friday | Divided Sky
Today's selection comes from Andy and YouTube. Phish's 1994 Halloween show featured The Beatles White Album as their "musical costume," but there were two whole other sets that were chock full of high energy playing and jammin'. As Andy put it so eloquently -- "Classic." I couldn't agree more...
Phish Friday | DWD YEM
If my loyal readers couldn't tell, I've been putting a little less time and focus on this music blog as of late. I'm working to re-find my muse in some ways, as I seem to have lost sight of what I want this site to be for me and... more
Phish Friday | on Sunday
Man -- now I know why I needed a small break from Chicago this weekend... I'm back on a Sunday night with a sore throat, an Everclear hangover, and some Phish MP3's. Enjoy -- I was at this show and it ruled... Phish - Cities > (live, 6/24/04) [mp3]Phish -... more
Phish Friday | More Underrated Shit
This week's selection for Phish Friday came from Andy, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't email us and tell us what you'd like to hear next week. We've got some great suggestions already and I've still got a bunch in my mind backlog, but I hope to offer some... more
Phish Friday | the tape that got me hooked
Ah, Phish Friday. It's always an exciting day to me now because I know I get to reach into my musical past (like, from six years ago) and listen to a bunch of stuff that I haven't listened to in a long time. Andy Gadiel and I alternate... more
Phish Saturday
Phish Friday came and went with Andy missing this week's pick... (tsk tsk!) I figured I'd at least post something in it's place; this is a MP3 that got circulated years back and I always had a source of the whole show... Phish covering Bob Marley in Amsterdam -- no major surprise... more
Phish Friday | Fluffer-Nutter
Man, this week flew by... It's already Phish Friday around here on Live Music Blog and we're offering up a small stretch of Phish that I'm certain most fans have already heard before. At least, most fans that would call themselves a collector by any means... Back in December, 1997, Phish... more
Phish Friday | Reputational Epicness
Continuing on with last week's inaugural Phish Friday - a loose partnership between Andy Gadiel and I where we bring some Phish mp3's (live and legal) to the masses for wide consumption and use -- this week's selection is a snippet of greatness from the early days... For today's Phish Friday... more
Phish Friday | Best Dog Log Ever
Photo © toshihiko2001 As part of my ongoing effort to start sharing a hell of lot more music on Live Music Blog, we're going to be trying something new this week... People tend to eat fish more than other foods on Fridays, especially during Lent and mostly because of the wide-adoption of... more
