Hey there everyone!

First, thanks Rich for posting the Boston Globe article, it was in the trash
at home before i got to it. (i think rich posted this)

Anyway, my offer is still out there to anyone who wants to trade directly for
the NYE broadcast.  I'm in a big-time taping mood, and am willing to take care
of many requests so don't feel its too late.  Again, i have an excellent
taping of NYE right off of WBCN Boston, on 3 90 mins. So email and i'll
definately respond to everyone.  This is not ment to mess up the tree in any
means, its just a more direct way to get this done if anyone's interested.

hey there phriends!  Anybody out there tuning in from Ohio?  Having gone
to the Port Chester shows at the end of November and then to the Newport
in Columbus, OH in December, I must say that being a part of an audience
so familiar with the band's style and idiosyncrasies adds to the
enjoyment of the show -- not to say that the Newport wasn't a wildly hot
show...

Back to the Ohio thing: any word of spring dates in "The Heart of it All"?
The scene at Cleveland's Agora last spring was the greatest -- mainly
because the hall was half sold, so there was plenty of room to groove. 
Hope the small turnout doesn't keep the band away.

Just wanted to comment on this one, in case no one else did:

|The famous mockingbird was someone in a costume on a harness

Yup, that someone was Brad the until-recently merchandise booth
guy that sold shirts and stickers and such. He looked a little
unsteady up there at times, which added to the humor...

Did anyone out there see Amie's cool PhishNet Banner? It was
about 5 feet square with the fish from the shirt on it...
if Matthews Arena hadn't been so slarge, it might have been 
easier to congregate with it.... DAMN that was a large place!

I didn't think Diamond Girl was that great a cover to do for
the NYE show... it was unique, but not that interesting a
song. Probably the Dude of Life's choice, though. And no, Paul
is not the Dude of Life, Paul is Paul Languedoc, for whoever
was wondering.

Anyway, I thoroughly enjoyed the show, and all the wonderful'
company I had from Thursday to Sunday! Thanks, Jessica, for
convincing us to hit the Shockra jam party after the show - it
was kind of weird, but something to remember when Shockra is
as big as Phish is... And hey, whoever heard of a Denny's that
closes at 11:00 pm?

Ok, ok, with regard to the shirts... THEY'RE HERE! I got them
literally minutes before the Springfield show, so a small group
of folks who managed to find me got theirs already. The first
mailing of the shirts (to everyone who has sent me orders so
far) will happen this week! So keep a lookout in your mailbox.
The response to the new one has been great, and people seem to
loke them even better than last year's! I'm personally happy
with how they turned out, and I like the design better. So if
you missed it the first couple of times:

The 1993 PhishNet T-Shirt is here! with designs on both the
front and the back, they are Haynes Beefy-Ts (except the XXL
which are top o' the line Fruit Of the Looms), all white I'm
afraid (4-color printing is HUGELY expensive on colored shirts)
but with a sunny, vividly colored design, and they are
$15.00 each ($16 for XXL and add $2 for outside U.S. delivery).
If'n your interested, send your $$ to:

Matt Laurence
11 John Poulter Rd.
Lexington, MA 02173

Most of the shirts are L and XL, with a bunch of XXL and a very
few small and medium for the few who might need them. Drop me
a line if you are one of those, just to make sure I still have 
some. Anyway, I hope you all loke them, and anyone who has one
may feel free to post testimonials, praise or criticism for
the benefit of all others (that way it's unbiased).

Well, vaya con carne, y'all, and have a pleasant 1993.

Until February!

FIRST CONCERT OF THE YEAR PROMISES SOMETHING PHISHY

			by Jeff Spevak, staff music critic [BARF!;-)]

	Phishhead alert:  With an underground network of mailing lists
and word of mouth growing along the lines of the legendary Deadheads,
Rochester's first major1993 concert - well, interesting show 
anyway - features Phish Feb. 9 at the Auditorium Center, 875 East
Main St.

	It's Vermont rock & jazz at its best, maybe at its only: an
unconventional mix of guitar, bass, drums, organ piano [not a typo;-)],
trombone, vocals and vacuum cleaner.  Sometimes drifting to a
danceable islands beat, the band's live show often features guitarist
Trey Anastasio and bass player Mike Gordon bouncing on a trampoline
and drummer/trombonist/vacuum cleaner man Jon Fishman wearing his
"Zero-Man" outfit.

	"I try to think of music the way big bands thought of it,"
Anastasio has said.  "They'd take a popular song and you'd be able
to listen to it at every level.  Someone who likes show tunes would
be able to dance to it.  But someone whose ear was more trained would
notice the arrangement was pushing the limits of musical language."
	
	That explains the vacuum cleaner.

	Phish, which tours with lead singer Anastasio's dog, Marley,
was here last summer, opening for Santana at the Finger Lakes 
Performing Arts Center. [and what a show it was - JW:-)]

	The band has two [ahem!] albums out, A PICTURE OF NECTAR
(named for a Burlington, Vt. bar) on Electra, and 1990 independent
release, LAWN BOY.  [As usual, Spevak didn't do his homework, as
of course, JUNTA & LAWN BOY were re-released on Elektra - JW]

	All tickets are $17 for reserved seats, and are available 
starting Jan. 16 at Ticket Express, 100 East Ave., (716-222-5000)
and TicketMaster (716-232-1900).

decided to go where I never before dared--and post responses.  I'm not sure

One phan wanted the GSW address.  It's pleasant enough...

        God Street Wine

        Ossining, New York 10562

You casn order "Bag" for about twelve buck just by dropping them a note (and a c
   heck)
I'm listening to it right now, I'd say it's pretty good.

Another phan wanted info on tonights gig at the Rum Runner in Geneva, NY
I doubt they would stop you from patching into their boards, but go easy --
it's a small room.  I might drop by (It's quite the college hangout -- esp.
when GSW stop by.)

Also --- I just found out that GSW is playing at my old high school, down in
Scarsdale, New York!  I can't believe it.  If anyone knows anything about
this March 5 show, drop me a line at YAVS@HWS3.BITNET -- Thanks!

Pointless _and_ untrue.

Bela Fleck was born in 1958, and was thus 2 years old when
the Beverly Hillbillies theme was recorded in 1960 by
Earl Scruggs.

This rumor probably started because (1) Bela began
playing banjo at age 15 (in 1973), and (2) one of
the first songs that he learned was the Beverly
Hillbillies theme.

Hey everyone,
 This is my first post to the Phishnet although I've been reading all year.
I'm pretty into computers and music composition, and am super-impressed with
the innovation Trey uses in the music theory content of everything. 
   So here's my attempt at a bit of analysis of the music: In Tweezer
there is definitely a lot more than a crescendo and decrescendo. The thing
about Phish that makes it so intense (for me anyway) musically, is that all
4 band members have lines that contrapuntally interact with each other
constantly. That is, rather than one guy playing a solo and everyone else
playing rhythmic chords, each line is sort bouncing off the other one
melodically, and I don't know of anyone who does this in quite this fashion
besides Phish. The other thing is that there are sequences, repeating melodic
lines that are played over and over again, but are modified slightly. Now
when Tweezer starts, there is one melodic pattern based where all the
instruments repeating basically compatible sequences that have one dominating
melody (the guitar), and Paige's chords jazz it up a little as they go along.
When it starts really building, not only does it louder and faster and higher,
but also the repeating lines get gradually more and more dissonant. Dissonance
is basically notes played at the same time that are jarring to our usual
sense of chords. So as the wailing guitar gets farther away from the thick
piano chords, the intensity goes beyond any other kind of music. Also, the
rhythmic interaction of the four instruments is very tight and rapid. When the
dissonance gets so great that the sequences can't really stick together anymore
than the rhythm (intentionally) becomes less tight and the tempo (speed)
decreases and the deconstructing effect is in place. Anyway, I can't describe
too much more than that and hope this was reasonably comprehensible and
informative. I'd love to talk with any other music theory students who've
thought about Phish. (perry-ethan@cs.yale.edu)
Happy Phishing

Howdy,

Well, a Big-fat-furry-flying-fluff-from-mars to you all, because I'm not
here!?

(BTW, I was always the kid who would say "absent" during roll call)

Anyway,
  The setlist that was already posted seemed about right to me, so no need
to be redundent, because I reaaly hate repetition, doesn't it bug you went
people repeat themselves. Well, here are my personal highlights. Divided
Sky: despite the fact that my body was comepletly substance-free, I felt
like I was tripping during the slow part. Also I think it was this song when
I saw Trey drool on himself (& it was a big sucka too!) HARPUA: My friends &
I had all of our stuff in a big pile on the floor. During Mike's Groove, Joe
& I reached down and pulled out a heapin' helpin' of vibes. we them shot
them at Trey for Harpua to be next, & IT WAS! Also, if you listen to the
tape (Although I haven't heard it yet, Joe taped it and I heard about it)
when Trey says "Look.." someone in the audience yells "Elvis!" that's me.
I've got a tape where this happens, and the band plays along, Mike doing an
Elvis impersonation. I wanted to here them do that, but oh well. Diamond
Girl: I caught a fish from the Dude of Life! Only regret: That they played
Maze so early. This is my favorite song, but I still had too much calzone in
my stomach to dance a lot. Only low point: When they left the stage after
Fire.

Hola,

Seeing all these nice people offering up tapes to new Phish Phans has

in need.

Here's the deal.

Beginners only please! You are on your honor. What,you ask,is a beginner?
If you have more than ten tapes you should not write me.
The show I am offering up is "Ian's Farm 5-28-89"
I have 1st gen. boards of the whole show. It emcompasses two 100 minute
tapes.
Should you want the show you need to supply blanks and postage.
NO TRADES!!!  At the moment I have little cash and cannot afford blanks
to engage in trading.
I will take the first five people who get ahold of me. Right now it is
1:50 pm on Friday the 8th. I will not take any requests after 3:30 pm
today.

Adios,

was a long drive last summer!), and after several calls
to their management, and local promoters, It looks like
we will have shows here in March.  Their management Co.
said that they are free to play Vegas (Maybe Elvis will
come out of hiding and sit in! ;-) on March 16, 19, 20
or 21st.  Nothing is set yet, but a local promoter is
going to call & try to set it up tomarow.  Vegas is an
obvious stop between Arizona (Phish people tell me that
the shows will not be at After the Gold Rush..too bad
its a good venue) and Southern california.

Rooms and food are cheap here.  There are places to camp 
fairly close, and the strip is the FREAKIEST place on
earth (among other things there is a man made volcano
that erupts every 15 minuts!)

The venue here is an old theater, with several rows of seats
removed in the front for dancing. :-)

I'll post again when I have more news!

Heh.... yeP!  I was the Assistant Director of that piece.  It's still not

Heh.... well.... I think the jazzy kind of acoustic music gives it a

too.  As far as yeP! music accompanying Waldo?  I don't think so... :)

Hey all,
    I haven't seen any of these on the net for quite some time
and just thought I'd add my $0.02 to the pot.
    
    Trey's performance in Brother from 10/10/91 is phenomenal!
Although I was not in attendance at this show, physically anyways,
I'm absolutely certain that during this overly intense jam, because 
of the incredible amount of friction present on Trey's fretboard, 
sparks begin to spiral from his fingertips creating a spectacular
addition to Chris' light show.  By the end of this jam Trey's 
guitar is reduced to cinders.  I believe this is the reason why
Trey now plays an experimental, ultra-heat resistant guitar to 
minimize the chances of it spontaneously combusting during said
fiery jammms.
    If anyone enjoys Brother as much as I now do, email for a copy
of this set.  AWw heck- even if you don't like Brother, this will
definitely convert you into a Brother adoring glide.
