  3. A PEEK INTO MIKE GORDON REHEARSALS 03.02.10
    A PEEK INTO MIKE GORDON REHEARSALS

    Mike and his band spent last week in rehearsals in the mountains of Vermont for their upcoming 8-date March run, which begins with a sold out show this Friday, March 5th in Troy, NY. Wanting to give fans a unique glimpse into the practice space, we're releasing a track that grew out of the session.

    Mike explains: "On the first day of practices, we decided to come to the studio and invite the muse to control us for a day. I led a guided meditation in which we imagined tapping into universal energy that connects from the spheres, through us, and into the center of the Earth, and then we imagined being on stage as the music played the band and the coolest sound we could fathom came out. Each band member then described his aural vision, directing the others to create it. And this little sampling is Craig Myers' vision, entitled 'Birth Of The Universe.' He described ambience wallowing from nothingness, and then mouthed out a rhythm that Todd could then interpret, helping to kick the thing into rock-ass gear. Nice work, Craig."

    You can download the track absolutely free at mike's website.

    Tickets for New Haven through Lebanon are on sale now. Please visit the tourdates page for complete details, whiffs and ticketing info.

    TREY AND CLASSIC TAB FREE WEBCAST FROM ST. LOUIS

    We're excited to present a live video stream of Trey Anastasio and Classic TAB's performance from the Pageant in St. Louis, MO tomorrow night, February 23, 2010 at iClips.net. The show starts at 8:30PM EST and will stream in its entirety, absolutely free.

    Trey and Classic TAB features the same lineup from last fall, with the addition of horns back into the mix. The tour is receiving rave reviews along the way.

    The septet is performing material spanning Trey's solo career. The band spent a great deal of time in rehearsals, adapting the arrangements to suit the current configuration and working on several brand new compositions. Classic TAB has always functioned as a breeding ground of sorts, with many of its songs eventually crossing over into Phish's repertoire.

    Trey Anastasio and Classic TAB will be at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, TN on Thursday 2/25, The Fillmore in Charlotte, NC on 2/26, The Tabernacle in Atlanta, GA on 2/27 and The Tennessee Theatre in Knoxville, TN on 2/28 to close out their tour. Tickets are on sale now.

  8. 11/19/1992 LIVEPHISH.COM HAITI RELIEF 01.28.10
    11/19/1992 LIVEPHISH.COM HAITI RELIEF

    Phish's November 19th, 1992 show at Ross Arena at St. Michael's College in Colchester, VT was an old fashioned local barn-burner. It took place just as the band finished recording "Rift" - their fourth album for Elektra Records.

    In nearly a decade of playing almost every venue in Vermont, this tour-opening show marked the band's first St. Michael's appearance. The newly constructed Ross Arena provided a hometown showcase for the new material. Of five songs debuted in Colchester, several came from the new album including "Fast Enough For You" and Fishman's contribution to Rift - an extended dub-style "Lengthwise".

    The band used the overgrown living room vibe of their hometown show to introduce the first ever Big Ball Jam. It was during the set two-opening "Mike's Groove" sequence when the show reached full fever pitch with an extended Weekapaug Groove. Gordon Stone's guest parts on pedal steel lent a spooky flavor to "Poor Heart" and "Llama" and his contribution to "Fast Enough For You" earned this first version a permanent spot among the best performances of the song. Four songs from the soundcheck accompany in this release, including "Weigh", "Caravan" and an extended "Funky Bitch".

    The intended release of this show at LivePhish.com happened to intersect with the incredible tragedy of the 2010 Haiti Earthquake. This archival release emerged as a way to help the victims of the Haiti Earthquake thousands of miles away.

    100% of proceeds from the release will benefit The American Red Cross and Partners in Health, two organizations working towards the aid and restoration of Haiti. Phish's own non-profit, The WaterWheel Foundation, will match the first $15,000 raised from the sale of this show.

    In the past, charitable downloads at LivePhish.com have raised over $60,000 for three non-profits, the Harbor House of New Jersey (The Headphones Jam), the New Orleans Musician's Clinic and the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Fund (Katrina Relief). Additionally, the Mockingbird Foundation receives funding on an on-going basis from the proceeds at LivePhish.com.

  10. TREY ANASTASIO TALKS TAB 01.13.10
    TREY ANASTASIO TALKS TAB

    Q: Phish just wrapped up 2009 with four consecutive nights at Miami's American Airlines arena and here you are, already embarking on another tour, this time with Classic TAB..

    TA: I am [laughs]. One of things that we're excited about is that we're getting to play some towns that Phish or TAB hasn't been to in quite a while like Milwaukee or Kansas City. We're really looking forward to that.

    Q: Is the first time TAB has toured as a septet?

    TA: Yes, this is the first time we'll have seven people – it's sort of lean and mean. The group has been going since '98 and it grows and retreats in numbers. I've gone out with a three-piece, a six-piece, an eight-piece, a nine-piece, a ten-piece and an eleven-piece. I really spent a lot of time thinking about this tour. I had a lot of horn-based material and I realized that I really needed three horns to make it happen – a tenor, a trombone and a trumpet. At one point the horn section was as big as five people. But if you write economical arrangements, you can sometimes make a richer sounding chord with less people, less voices...

  24. Phish to Wield 2 x 4 -- Four Shows in Late Fall, Four NYE Shows 09.18.03
    Phish to Wield 2 x 4 -- Four Shows in Late Fall, Four NYE Shows

    Phish will play a four-show run beginning Thanksgiving weekend, culminating in a 20th Anniversary performance at Boston's FleetCenter on December 2.

    The Boston show comes twenty years to the day of Phish's first performance, at an ROTC dance on the campus of the University of Vermont. While the exact date has been the subject of some dispute over the years, carbon dating, diligent research and a little common sense confirmed that December 2, 1983 was indeed the date of the band's first show.

    At the end of December, Phish returns to Florida for a four-night run at American Airlines Arena in Miami, including a three-set New Year's Eve show. The shows are the band's first performances in Florida since their millennium festival at the Big Cypress Seminole Indian Reservation in 1999.

    The eight dates are as follows:

    11/28 Nassau Coliseum Uniondale, NY
    11/29 Wachovia Spectrum Philadelphia, PA
    12/1 Pepsi Arena Albany, NY
    12/2 FleetCenter Boston, MA

    12/28 American Airlines Arena Miami, FL
    12/29 American Airlines Arena Miami, FL
    12/30 American Airlines Arena Miami, FL
    12/31 American Airlines Arena Miami, FL

    A limited number of tickets for all eight shows are available directly through PHISH TICKET's secure online ticketing system at http://www.phishtickets.rlc.net for a seven-day ordering period beginning Monday, September 22, at 12:01 PM EST and ending Monday, September 29, at 11:59 AM EST.

    Mike Gordon Announces October Tourdates

    Mike Gordon will play his first-ever solo tour, a 9-date run in support of Inside In, released last month on Ropeadope Records. Kicking off October 5 at The Fillmore in San Francisco, the tour will stop at 8 cities, playing theatres and clubs before concluding on October 16 at New York's Irving Plaza.

    The tour will feature a seven piece all-star group handpicked by Gordon that is as eclectic in its instrumentation as it is in personnel. Comprised of longtime Phish collaborators James Harvey on keyboards and Gordon Stone on pedal steel and banjo, as well as trombonist Josh Roseman (Dave Holland, Charlie Hunter), guitarist Scott Murawski (Max Creek), tap dancer and vocalist Jeannie Hill, flutist and vocalist Julee Avallone (Dr. Juice) and drummer Doug Belote (Anders Osborne, Tony Furtado), the band will perform songs from Inside In as well as other material from within and without.

    Released August 26, Inside In is the complement to Outside Out, his first full-length feature film.  Recorded at his home studio, all songs on Inside In were written and performed by Gordon and feature a revered collective of guest musicians such as Jon Fishman, Béla Fleck, and Col. Bruce Hampton as well as many others.
