  • What makes the scene so special

    Brian is a dear old friend, and I can’t think of anyone better to have launched this podcast. He’s equal parts knowledgeable, opinionated, and open-minded, and I love how his podcast centers around what essentially makes Phish shows so special: shared, subjective experiences.

  • Invaluable resource for a meandering exploration of past Phish performances.

    Brian and his guests are knowledgeable and conversant Phish aficionados. Their laid back, first hand accounts point the way to and provide context for many lesser known gems in Phish’s catalog.

    Each episode is a fine supplement to pair with actually listening to the discussed concert (found elsewhere). It’s like wine and cheese, each one enhances enjoyment of the other.

    Five stars from me.

  • Great show

    Although I found this show only a year or so ago, I quickly got hooked. For anyone that wants to hear the story behind the show, or even gain new perspective on classics we all know, this is perfect. With guests that include everyone from “Phish Famous” folks to the ordinary fan, Brian is doing amazing things to record and preserve the oral history of the phenomenon that is Phish.

  • WARNING: This podcast is ADDICTIVE!!

    Brian does a great job sharing his enthusiasm for the band and setting his guests up to shine and share great memories they have of shows and specific songs. The episodes can’t come fast enough. Even the most knowledgeable of Phish fans will learn something from these episodes.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Venue Preview: Enmarket Arena, Savannah, GA w/Earth and Jessie
Q: What would you tell fans about navigating Savannah and parking around Enmarket Arena?
They emphasize easy walkability around downtown, the Bubba's Lot parking option across from the venue, and the need to plan transportation since the venue isn't within walking distance from many hotels.
Venue Preview: Enmarket Arena, Savannah, GA w/Earth and Jessie
Q: Is there anything that makes Enmarket Arena unique as a venue for Phish compared to other indoor venues?
They note the arena's brand-new, clean feel, a cozy, intimate interior for an ice hockey rink-turned-concert space, and its 10,000-seat capacity, which creates a smaller-show atmosphere for summer touring.
12/28/96 @ The Spectrum w/ Scott Mitchell
Q: What role did Page play in this show, and how is that reflected in the setlist?
Page drives the show; his piano work and leadership are central from Maze through Strange Design, and the final peak of Weekapog leading into a quiet, emotional piano outro shows how Page can carry a set with melodic clarity.
12/28/96 @ The Spectrum w/ Scott Mitchell
Q: What makes the second set of December 28th, 1996 special to you?
The second set is a Page-forward showcase, with intense Maze improvisation, a rare Strange Design placement, and a dramatic Weekapog dive, all culminating in a powerful, melodic piano-led moment that defined the night for me.
8/3/91 @ Amy's Farm w/ Matt Leaf
Q: What stands out about Amy's Farm as a turning point?
Amy's Farm stands out as a DIY proto-festival that demonstrated how a community could organize a large outdoor show with three sets, minimal industry involvement, and a strong sense of celebration and mutual aid that would influence future Phish festivals.
