Getting to New York’s Madison Square Garden for Phish‘s New Year’s run was a
cakewalk compared to the blizzard
conditions that had universally complicated travel plans earlier in the week in Worcester. Outside the hallowed
venue, hundreds
of hopeful, ticketless souls wandered the tightly packed blocks of midtown Manhattan. Inside MSG, site of so many
notable moments in this band’s history, Phish closed the year in which they
truly
returned to form with three focused, sharp sets that were also not short on collective improvisation.

The first half of the first set was a perfectly paced party that also included its share of surprises. “Punch You in the
Eye” and “AC/DC Bag”, despite being two of the oldest and most frequently played staples in the Phish repertoire,
were played with real commitment by the whole band. Trey particularly zeroed in on the climax of the
latter
tune. As “AC/DC Bag” concluded with its upwardly spiraling fade out, the mid tempo funk of “Moma Dance”
emerged and quickly became the song when the band and audience truly relaxed into the set, the evening, and
perhaps the reality of another passing year. The clip of the infrequently played “Scent of a Mule” took the energy up
a notch, and was spot on throughout, including the tricky to navigate transitions from the klezmer jam back to the
bluegrass outro. And, as someone who won’t shy away from saying that Phish sometimes has an uphill climb with
accurate vocal harmonies, “Mule” was quite well sung.

The rest of the first set was a pleasantly mixed bag of debuts (the instantly likable shuffle of Phish’s next FM chance,
“Burn that Bridge”), classic staples from the near-yet-far era of the mid nighties (“Weigh” and “Beauty of my
Dreams”) and the downright unfamiliar (“Gone”, the obscure track from Party Time, that in my opinion may
have
been this set’s only misstep, inserting a pensive, tentative note into an otherwise celebratory collection of tunes).
“Rock n’ Roll” closed out the early set with a textbook jam that demonstrated Trey’s newfound climax-building
concision, a distillation of years of experience in the rarified field of jam artistry.

After a relatively short break, the band returned and burned through a non-stop second set that never let up in
intensity. Trey’s recent, more aggressive distortion tone led the charge on “Wilson” and a searing, Zappa-
fied “46
Days”. The whole band appeared recharged for this set and ready to lay down some serious psychedelic prog-funk.
As “Sand” opened up into a weave of pointed staccato accents, the room exploded and the evening’s promise began
to truly come to fruition. In a year of many versions of “Down with Disease”, this outing delivered with both heroic,
major key riffage and twisted excursions into darkness. “Ghost” was also well balanced between its creepy funk
verses and a long, lighthearted major I-IV section. On a dime, the band collectively began to slow down until Trey
counted off a wonderfully executed “You Enjoy Myself” that included full blown “Manteca” choruses interspersed in
the jam, the bass solo, and in the final vocal improv that closed out the set. I think it’s safe to say the folks who
have dutifully carried around that “Manteca” banner all year were feeling pretty good right about now.

“Meatstick” ambled to life to open the New Year’s set and at first didn’t even hint at the 19 minute spectacle that was
to follow. After the Japanese lyrics, a quartet of men dressed in traditional African garb entered stage right and sang
a few choruses, followed by a Mariachi band stage left, followed by an increasingly diverse collection of cultural
representatives all dressed in traditional outfits. Around this time, either a pre-recorded version of “Meatstick”
began playing or the front of house engineer had live-looped eight bars of the tune. Either way, the band was
subtley ushered off stage while the 50+ ensemble of dancers and singers went through a tightly choreographed
Broadway-style routine in the front of the stage and on risers behind the amps. Then the loop stopped, and the
company sang “Meatstick” in a chromatically ascending pattern until Phish emerged in the Hot Dog from New Year’s
past! Thousands of hot dog colored (and shaped) balloons began falling as the band, all smiles, traversed the
rooftop of the arena tossing foam wieners down on the crowd. Eventually landing on the stage, the band seamlessly
continued the tune until the countdown. A brief but incendiary “After Midnight” followed and served as the bridge
into the rest of the first set of 2011.

The whole band outdid themselves on the version of “Backwards Down the Number Line” that followed. This was a
valentine to the crowd, managing to simultaneously channel both a heart-tugging poignancy and a ferocious energy.
The same could be said of “Waste”, which induced memories of the many years and hundreds of shows many in
attendance had experienced together. Trey wove knots of Leslie-drenched notes at the song’s conclusion, and
eventually fell into a long, patient “Slave to the Traffic Light”. The band gathered at the front of the stage for the
absurd barbershop of “Grind”, and closed out a well considered and appropriately high energy show with “First
Tube”. Though for the first time in the band’s history they and many in the room would be returning the following
night for another show, this set felt like the exclamation point it was meant to be — to a remarkable year for a band
whose diverse history is already marked with many.

quotes. Before midnight, several groups of multiethnic dancers appeared on stage and sang the Meatstick lyrics in
their respective languages. The band joined the dancers and then stealthily disappeared from the stage, only to
reappear at the other side of the arena in the giant hotdog from past NYE shows (’94 and ’99). As a result, portions
of the Meatstick were pre-recorded. Appropriately, the post-show music was Captain Beefheart’s Tropical Hot Dog
Night.

OFF! | NYC | Review

By: Ron Hart

OFF! :: 10.22.10 :: Generation Records :: New York, NY


OFF!’s debut, The First Four EPs, is out digitally worldwide. iTunes has the exclusive bonus track “Zero Hour” and eMusic has the exclusive bonus track “Sexy Capitalists.” The vinyl box set and cassette versions of The First Four EPs will be released on December 14th.

OFF! by Dan Monick

For a guy who collects vinyl, having to wait in line for a show in the basement of one of your favorite record shops instead of thumbing through the racks is a practice in restraint no crate digger worth his weight in wax should be required to endure. But when the concert you are waiting to see is an intimate performance from former Black Flag/Circle Jerks frontman Keith Morris’ new California punkcore supergroup OFF!, it is well worth the torture.

Formed by Morris in 2009 and rounded out by guitarist Dimitri Coats of Burning Brides, Rocket from the Crypt drummer Mario Rubalcaba and Steven McDonald of Red Kross fame on bass guitar, the band is a total throwback to the days when punk rock was a bloodsport, a time that Morris fondly recalled several times over the course of OFF!’s half-hour set.

In fact, right when we walked down the steps of Generation Records’ nugget-rich used section that comprises the basement, Morris was in the middle of a yarn about his old bandmate in Black Flag, Robo, making extra money in the old days allegedly digging ditches for a snuff film operation before OFF! tore into an uncompromising mini-set that featured select tunes from the band’s excellently brief 7-inch box set The First Four EPs. As records by Iggy Pop, AC/DC, David Bowie and The Who adorned the wall behind them, the quartet played loud, fast and fearless, tearing through minute-long songs like “Darkness,” “Killing Away” and “Fuck People” with the tenacity of a far younger band, interspersed with Morris musing on everything from the capitalist practices of his former peers on the L.A. scene like the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Gwen Stefani to meeting guitarist McDonald when he was just an 11-year-old Black Flag fan who used to sneak into shows.

However, the most poignant moment of the evening came when Morris performed a stirring, ferocious tribute to his old pal, the late Jeffrey Lee Pierce of western punk icons The Gun Club, and with whom Keith was in the early stages of working on a musical collaboration before Pierce tragically succumbed to a brain hemorrhage in 1996.

And nothing was cooler than seeing this whole thing go down at Generation, a place where so many NYC punk fans discovered the dreadlocked trail of inspiration, influence and energy Keith Morris has blazed for over 30 years and continues to do so as a 55-year-old creating some of the most incendiary sounds of the 21st century.

Phish | Halloween 2010 | Review | Pics

Phish :: 10.29.10-10.31.10 :: Atlantic City Boardwalk Hall :: Atlantic City, NJ

Pop over here to see the full gallery of pictures from the Halloween run!

Like a whirlwind of ocean and sand, the tidal wave that is Phish 3.0 stormed into Atlantic City for a Halloween weekend to close their fall tour. Halloween runs are always an event for the band and its minions; this would be no different as the boys gave new definition to “Boardwalk Empire.” Phans descended on the nearly century old Jersey Shore landmark, funneling a much needed boost to the off-season economy of this blue-collar destination while also taking full advantage of its 24 hour playground. The hotels, casinos and nightclubs were crawling at all hours with revelers, costumed and imbibed like only we do.

An elated, palpable excitement permeated the salty ocean air as people filed in for the first gig. Though a sea of heads clogged the boardwalk outside the venue all three nights, the stately hall slowly filled as tickets were hard to even give away Friday. Yet once the band lined up for a barbershop quartet “Star Spangled Banner,” everything was set in place for an blockbuster weekend.

The first set of music started out innocently enough, brevity and excitability contained within spirited takes. “Light Up or Leave Me Alone” shifted gears quickly, a sonic foreshadowing of treats to come, Page’s gleeful verses and choice Fender Rhodes Winwood-isms sparking the twilight. The second portion of the first frame sought to harness the frenetic energy within the room. “Timber Ho,” “Axilla” and “Rift” saw Trey Anastasio charging with fierce Languedoc tones, leading the tightly wound troupe into proper funk. “The Moma Dance > Cities > 46 Days” only served to up the ante, low-rider, uptempo cow-funk giving way to raging arena rock bombast, a collective effort in spades. The first set displayed command of some of their dramatic yet cohesive amalgams of style and substance.

Friday’s second set saw more sonic diversity, showcased by the devastating “Sand > Carini.” If the stutter-step crunk of 3.0′s “Sand” is criminology, then this is Exhibit A. The intoxicating dance riddims and sensual aural layers detonated an aggressive, steppin’ groove. Trey juxtaposed a forceful metallic vengeance – a “Carini” segue wrought with rampant redhead riffage as Cactus digi-bombs bludgeoned and shared descending insanity culminating in a clav-drenched milieu.

To steer into port, the boys demonstrated distinct intent with a masterful tandem of “Slave” and “Fluffhead.” The former was a beacon of 3.0 reinvention, blissed-out and ethereal in flight, its emotional command tangible. “Fluffhead” was a love letter from the boys, signed, sealed and deliberate, as was the atypically tipsy “Loving Cup” that kissed us off into the windswept midnight Jersey shore.

Friday Setlist
Set 1: The Star Spangled Banner, My Soul, AC/DC Bag, Ocelot, Sample in a Jar, Light Up Or Leave Me Alone, Sugar Shack, Timber (Jerry) > Bouncing Around the Room, Axilla > Rift, The Moma Dance > Cities > 46 Days
Set 2: Punch You In the Eye > Sand -> Carini > Prince Caspian, Corinna, Piper > Theme From the Bottom > Golgi Apparatus > Slave to the Traffic Light > Fluffhead

Despite the typically great opening night, nobody could have dreamt the magic of the penultimate show Saturday night. After a soundcheck filled with their songs and a heavy-traction rumor that picked up steam, “Zeppelin” was on the tips of many tongues. On this marvelous evening, Boardwalk Hall would be adrift, a Mischief Night passage to a haunted house of the holy.

The punked-up bluster of “Cavern” announced an early fever, a tightly wound “Guelah Papyrus” scorched with concision. As the band careened skyward during “Chalkdust’s” fierce jam, Trey and Mike hijacked the vehicle with a potent “Whole Lotta Love” riff and the boys initiated a weighty liftoff. The ‘trick’ was unveiled with this vigorous verse, only this was a mission not a small time thing. A crunk detour in “Ha Ha Ha” and an anthemic “Walk Away” marched to an uber-funky ‘Wolfman’s.” Toward the end of this boogie hustle, a peculiar vocal jam began bleeding into focused, mathematical cyber-funk sonic malevolence. This wicked display piloted into a phenomenal take on “Undermind.” With such first class Phish on display throughout the first frame, unmitigated bliss permeated the setbreak, and it seemed the band was keen to treat fans maybe not blessed with a Halloween ticket to their own magic carpet ride on this chilly Saturday night.

A second frame opening “Tube” was a proper funk workout, a lesson in premeditated groove science, but it was the open-ended “Tweezer” that set the room ablaze with an endless spate of getting the Led out. Portions of “Heartbreaker,” “Ramble On” and the exquisite “Thank You” were all stuffed inside the Zepplified “Tweezer,” only to cap the madness with an emotive rendering of “Stairway to Heaven’s” final coda, complete with Robert Plant-ish crooning and proper Jimmy Page-like wailing.

Lighting director Chris Kuroda was locked and loaded in furthering this mission, and per usual his accompaniment was indescribable visual delight. Phish fulfilled the Zeppelin rumor by bringing it to fruition – Halloween delivered early-style with gusto. The room was still reeling as “2001″ announced more funk ferocity, the band one nation under a groove, a collective in the zone, rolling into a magnificent “Bowie.” In suitable fashion, the evasive “Sleeping Monkey” settled back down to earth, with a colossal “Tweeprise” the exclamation point on a ridiculous penultimate journey.

Saturday Setlist
Set 1: Kill Devil Falls, Cavern > Foam, Guelah Papyrus, Chalk Dust Torture > Whole Lotta Love > Chalk Dust Torture, Ha Ha Ha, Walk Away, Wolfman’s Brother > Undermind > Bathtub Gin, The Squirming Coil
Set 2: Tube > Possum > Tweezer > Heartbreaker > Ramble On > Thank You -> Tweezer > Stairway to Heaven, Halley’s Comet > Also Sprach Zarathustra > David Bowie, Show of Life, Backwards Down the Number Line > Good Times Bad Times
E: Sleeping Monkey > Tweezer Reprise

After arriving and receiving the welcome news (via the PhishBill) that the musical costume was Little Feat’s 1978 live album Waiting for Columbus, the anticipation was bountiful. Boardwalk Hall was levitating as, appropriately, Page McConnell’s keytar-led “Frankenstein” ushered in the final excursion. Halloween had arrived and the natives were restless. Costumes were plentiful and more than creative, the sold-out AC massive quaking in its boots. After the astonishing Saturday show, the bar was more than raised for the last gig of the tour. An early and snaking “Ghost” traversed slowed-funk riddims as Trey unveiled “Spooky” to fit the premise. “Divided Sky,” “Roses are Free” and “Boogie On Reggae Woman” also brought the goods. This particular trifecta was intricately woven, disparate in design yet similarly methodical – wide-ranging, cohesive jamming, all strikingly diverse intentions extremely well executed. Surprisingly, it was the dark, foreboding jam tucked within “Stash” that not only illuminated the night’s haunted aura, but most defined the limitless potential of a reinvigorated foursome.

I would like to add to the chorus of applause for this musical costume. Little Feat’s seminal double live record, recorded in London and Washington D.C. in 1977 was a perfect marriage of styles, song craft and spirit for Phish to tackle. Augmented by a five-piece horn section consisting of Aaron Johnson, Stuart Bogie, Ian Hendrickson, Michael Leonhart and Eric Biondo for several tunes, the band was ably assisted by Giovanni Hidalgo on percussion for nearly the entire set. From the opening “Fat Man in a Bathtub,” the vibe peaked with a strong, emotional expedition through this great record. Highlights speckled the whole frame, and included the Cajun-fonky “Oh Atlanta” and the familiar “Time Loves a Hero” and “Dixie Chicken”.

However the strongest for this writer was the excruciatingly dirty swank of “Spanish Moon.” Fish carried a drunken funk swagger while Hidalgo mixed it up in the space between as Gordon laid down merciless grooves, half steppin’ along as they let the horns blow. Later, “Willin’” simply wowed; masterfully introduced by Mike Gordon’s sublime piano and expressively crooned by Fishman in full frontman mode. The band in full even took a victory lap around the arena wearing shit-eating grins. From start to finish Waiting for Columbus was an absolutely ideal collection of songs and jams that was expertly executed by Phish with extraordinary accompaniment.

The final set of tour was a celebration of sorts, a fantastic voyage through the Phish songbook. A restarted “Disease” settled into a jovial “Jiboo” that saw climatic band interplay achieve a galloping pace. Beginning with the swagger-funk of “Camel Walk,” bubonic Gordon bombs crunched Red’s descending riffage with authority, culminating in a sinister, grinding “Wilson” metal jam that pulverized the venue to the core, Trey’s leads channeling the ghosts of Hendrix and Stevie Ray. “Hood” and “Silent” offered introspection and an emotive dalliance, and “YEM” was what Phish is in its essence – a passionate, joy-fueled romance between a band and its audience.

The “Julius” encore was icing, with the full complement of horns and Hidalgo returning for a feisty rollicking sendoff that may have been the finest rendition this writer has heard.

There were few walking out of the venue not completely blown away by this incredible three-day Phish display. Even the most jaded tour veterans were nearly speechless, delighted, cheesy grins abounded as full-blown dance parties ignited at the bars and casinos that dotted the boardwalk. Magic was in the salty ocean air as people traded superlatives to describe their own takes on the “Zeppelin trick” or “Little Feat treat.” Nights, weekends and tours like this solidify the arrival of a new era for this band. The comeback sun has set, and as hoped, IT happened – once again.

Sunday Setlist
Set 1: Frankenstein, Big Black Furry Creature from Mars, Ghost > Spooky > The Divided Sky, Roses Are Free > Funky Bitch, Boogie On Reggae Woman, Stash, Character Zero
Set 2: Fat Man in the Bathtub, All That You Dream, Oh Atlanta, Old Folks Boogie, Time Loves a Hero > Day or Night, Mercenary Territory, Spanish Moon, Dixie Chicken > Tripe Face Boogie, Rocket in My Pocket, Willin’, Don’t Bogart That Joint, A Apolitical Blues, Sailin’ Shoes, Feats Don’t Fail Me Now

Rare Bowie & NIN Live Footage

TRANSPORT BACK TO 1995 WITH DAVID BOWIE AND NINE INCH NAILS


David Bowie

In 1995, David Bowie had
just
released his industrial-tinged comeback album Outside. Nine Inch Nails, fresh off the
release
of The Downward Spiral, were chosen as co-headliners on the U.S. leg of Bowie’s tour.

The historic tour featured onstage collaborations between Bowie and NIN, and director
David Williams was there to capture it all. The never before seen footage was shot while Virgin Records
was
going under and was shelved until now. Williams recently uploaded a forty minute rough cut of footage to his
Vimeo page.

Check out the entire clip by clicking here. It features
Bowie and NIN playing Bowie’s “The Man Who Sold The World,” “Scary
Monsters (And Super Creeps),” “Hallo Spaceboy,” “The Heart’s Filthy Lesson,” NIN’s “Reptile” and “Hurt,” and ending
with
Bowie performing “Under Pressure” by himself. (via Slicing Up

Phish :: 08.09.10 :: Town Park :: Telluride, CO

Phish returned to Telluride, CO for the first time in 19 years to perform the first of two shows for a sold out crowd at Town Park. The band opened the show with the anthemic rocker “Down with Disease” before launching into rare fan favorite “Camel Walk.” The first set also included Traffic’s “Light Up Or Leave Me Alone,” Phish’s own “Stash,” and a nod to the great divide in “The Wedge” before closing with high energy versions of “Possum” and “Julius.”


The second set was by all accounts, ferocious, starting off with a huge “Sand > Backwards Down The Number Line > Prince Caspian” sequence and a short “Tweezer” that transitioned into Stevie Wonder’s “Boogie On Reggae Woman,” which contained some of the deepest funk of the night. They then launched into a high energy “Piper” that led into a nicely placed “Mountains in the Mist” before the onslaught of “David Bowie” and the poignant “Day in the Life” to close the set. Dylan’s “The Mighty Quinn” and “Tweezer Reprise” brought the show to a fulfilling end.


This show can be purchased for download at LivePhish.

Phish performs at Telluride Town Park again tonight (8/10).

Sat Eye Candy: Phish Influences

THEY LOVE ROCK ‘N’ ROLL AND WE LOVE THEM!

Phish is a band that wears its influences on its sleeve. In their hearty embrace of cover tunes and even in the explicit name checking of artists in their originals. With all eyes on the Greek in Berkeley and the unfolding summer tour, we offer a selection of roots sources for this venerable band touched upon during the current road trip (no, this is not an attempt at a comprehensive survey of Phish’s overall influences, just the ones they themselves have nodded to this summer. We’ll tackle the bigger idea another Saturday…).

This one clearly makes Phish happy because it shows up in the rotation with some regularity.

Phish busted this one out just last night at the Greek. This clip comes from the period when King Crimson’s Adrian Belew was part of the Heads touring ensemble.

Appropriately, Phish opened their 4th of July show with our national anthem, which does seem to touch a nerve in rockers ever since Jimi lit the mother-frucker on fire way back when.

Naming a song “David Bowie” takes brass clankers. Phish has borrowed lustily from both the Thin White Duke’s musical oeuvre and large scale theatrical flair. They pull off both with aplomb.

We’re really glad Page hasn’t adopted cornrows even if they cover this soul bomb.

It’s a treat that Skynyrd’s “The Ballad of Curtis Loew” has been making occasional reappearances in the past year after being absent from setlists since 1993. Here’s a pair of Skynyrd tunes including “Curtis” for y’all.

We end, as Phish did last evening, with a cover of Led Zeppelin’s “Good Times Bad Times.” Bright tidings to those lucky enough to be holding a golden ticket for the final night at the Greek!

In what is becoming a Father’s Day tradition (see 6/21/09), the show-opening Brother featured the band
members’ children jumping into a bathtub on stage, followed by Trey introducing each of them and wishing
everyone a Happy Father’s Day. Gotta Jibboo featured Tony Markellis on bass and Mike on a second guitar. The end
of Wilson contained a Dixie tease from Trey. In place of a traditional Makisupa keyword, Trey improvised lines that
set up solos for Mike, then Fish, then Page. The subsequent Piper intro included repeated phrases from the Makisupa
(“Mike,” “Policeman” “SPAC” and “House” among others).
