Phish Reunion

Just when I thought I couldn’t get any more excited about this weekend’s shows, Phish.com just announced they will be offering free MP3 downloads of the entire weekend! From the official site:

“Each show will be professionally multitracked and mixed onsite and within 24 hours, 256kbps MP3s will be made available for free for a limited time at LivePhish.com. Fans who wish to download higher quality versions may purchase FLAC downloads. The shows will also be available on CD. Both are available for pre-order now. You can register at LivePhish.com to receive an email when the free MP3s are available for download.”

Everyone had been wondering why there was no preorder on LivePhish yet, and I guess now we know why! So psyched I don’t think I am gonna be able to sleep the rest of the week!

While I was reading Phish Thoughts the other day, I came across a post about the Victor Disk, a collection of recordings from 2002 before the band played their first reunion shows after the hiatus. After having listened to it several times now, I have to say, this is just great. This is why I love Phish. If all they did was stuff like this from now on, I’d be a happy camper. They are so good at just settling in and jamming it out with eachother, who needs things like structure and lyrics. Just give me endless Phishy improv and it’s all good.
