It's summer, and the #1 band of that portion in my life when I saw most of you folk on a daily basis is doing their thing. That's right - let's talk Phish.
Because of the changes in mobile technology during their absence, the new Phish is a whole lot more accessible than ever before. Gone are the days of waiting for tapes - I know have pretty much all of the summer tour. And while I often am against this kind of relentless hoarding, which I think leads to collecting music, not listening to it, I have to say that I am indeed listening to an awful lot of Phish.
I won't get too into details, except to say that they are absolutely, 100% back, and sounding as good as they ever had. Some highlights for you:
An absolute destruction of Zep's "The Rover" that makes me wonder why they never covered this before:
Bizarrely, a cover of "In the Aeroplane Over the Sea." Weird, and didn't do a ton for me, but thought it might be of interest:
"2001" played on the anniversary of Michael Jackson's death, and man is it a blast (I sacrificed video quality for sound quality on this one):

As Dr. Kittybrains was saying to me last night, it's like I'm back in college with Via Chicago giving me the latest on crazy Phish bootlegs. These are great! I especially like the 2001 medley.
