The Daily Soundcheck

We go back in time yet again! @Tweeprise on Twitter recently put out 2 new soundchecks that had never been released! This is one of the crazier venues we've covered and rock some "Character Zero>Funky Bitch". The bonus track is an excellent Type 1 "David Bowie".

The last of my four part Japan series with Dave Calarco finishes with a beast. The second set opens with 45 minutes of boundary pushing Phish with "Runaway Jim->Theme->Dog Faced Boy". The soundcheck is one of the greats, with sick grooves based around Trey spitting hilarious improv comedy. This is also one of 6 shows ever to feature "Reba", "Slave To The Traffic Light", and "Harry Hood" all in the same show. Phish and Japan was something special.

So how do you follow up one of the most legendary Phish shows of all time? Well the next night you play only 14 songs TOTAL! Among those are all time versions of "Ghost" and "DWD" and a great "YEM". Dave Calarco aka Mr. Miner is back with me to try and break it all down. The soundcheck includes a rare version of "The Happy Whip and Dung" and a hilarious look behind what was going on with the Phish stage crew taking place in "Windora Bug".

I wished in Episode 75 that the rest of the Drum Logos Soundcheck would be released someday. Well my wish was granted! Apparently it was circulating from an old version of the spreadsheet and Michael Callahan @mjcallahan7 on Twitter sent me the rest! So here ya go! Get ready to laugh, this soundcheck is bonkers. James Bond themes and stories about Pete Carini and Fishman's drum kit.

Dave Calarco (aka Mr. Miner) is back co-hosting with me for this landmark Japan show. We go DEEP into one of the most unique and magnificent shows in Phish history. Come take a trip with us into another galaxy, this show is unlike any other.Phish.net Show PageMr. Miner's Blog Post

We have ventured into Japan! I've brought along my friend Dave Calarco aka Mr. Miner to help me navigate! Dave attended the entire run and will be my guest for the next five episodes giving a first hand account on these unique shows. In this episode Dave's recaps the first 3 Japan shows and then we talk about the 6/13/2000 Club Quatrro show. The soundcheck is fun with "Ginseng Sullivan" a spacey "Jam", an awesome "Crossroads" and some crazy Phish in "Say My Name>O Yeah!".Mr. Miner's Archived Essay on Japanhttp://phishthoughts.com/tag/japan/

One of the more intimate shows in modern Phish, the 3,200 seat Roseland Ballroom was an incredibly tough ticket. Filmed for VH1 this soundcheck features fun takes on many classics. A thirteen song soundcheck with one of the coolest venue histories make this one fun episode!

The granddaddy of them all!!! Big Cypress soundcheck is almost as big as the festival itself. You like great versions of Phish staples? You like jams? Well it's a Phish festival tradition and the Cypress Soundcheck has two nasty jams for you.Phish.net Show PageGr8fulmommabear blog postAfter Midnight Podcast
