Was hoping to share this closer to Phish's actual 30th anniversary last week, but best laid plans.Anyway, these are a set of maps created by Seth Kadish and Jonn Rosen that circulated earlier this year but are a bit hard to track down. They essentially comparing Grateful Dead and Phish gigs over their similar 30...

Lots of great tributes floating around today, Phish's 30th anniversary. But for me, nothing says it quite like this video, debuted at setbreak 10 years ago today. No editorializing, no "what it all means" prose, just moment after joyful moment edited together in a row... mostly from an era where not everything was captured in HD...

John Kadlecik is no stranger to the Martyrs stage.  He played there weekly as a member of Dark Star Orchestra in the early days of that band.  Back in town for two scheduled Chicago gigs, tonight's ambitious Top Of The Tower Jam and Saturday's solo show back at the North Side club, the...

As always, we'll be updating the Phish Rotation Infographic after each show to give you a feel what's been played so far and what's likely to come next.As a way to introduce (or reintroduce) this resource to folks, I thought I'd throw out a quick question...

It was fifteen years ago today that Phish entered the final stretch of the unfortunately short "Neil Young Phase" of their career, which lasted a scant fifteen days, from 10/3/98's Farm Aid Benefit outside of Chicago, to playing a pair of sets at Neil's annual Bridge School Benefit at Shoreline Ampitheater in advance of their...

This installment of Notes From The Jazz Underground features the playlist from September 27th, which marked Paul's 2nd anniversary doing the show. After launching the program Sunday afternoons against Paul Buckley's nationally renown jazz radio show, Abella was able to find his voice on Friday evenings.This week's playlist features a bit of everything that...

This isn't very scientific, or even very conclusive, but if you've ever suspected that Phish was getting better since their return from their breakup, here are some numbers and a visual, to support your theory.
