Weekend Nuggets: International Phish
DOWNLOADS OF THE WEEKEND:
Osaka 2000
Listening to Prague ’98 this week inspired me to dig into the international archives. I’ve dug up two stellar show, continents apart. The Osaka show from 200 features a creatively demented “Down With Disease” that may be the greatest jam that nobody talks about from Phish’s prolific run in the Pacific. The first set “Ghost” brings another dark-horse highlight from a show that took place three stories up in a massive shopping complex, (the second show of Japan to take place within in an elevated shopping plaza!)
The second selection comes from the transformative tour of Summer ’97, and the band’s gooey, raw funk is on full display throughout. The second set brings the heat from start to finish, bookended by thick explorations of “Wolfman’s” and “Ghost.” Have a great weekend!

Jam of the Weekend:
“Bathtub > funk > Gin” 7.10.97 I
A relic from Marseilles, France in early Summer ’97; back when tapers tracked “funk” jams, and Phish grooved unmercifully.

Ah, right on… I had a paper about that last quarter in my History of Modern thought class. Relatively interesting stuff, as far as paper topics go!
Finished!
Now I can get my nice, restful 3.5hrs of sleep before I get to wake up and study for my 2 tests tomorrow morning! 😉
Night folks!
quite relatively interesting, considering my last paper was about the decline of bffalo population in the great plains. not too easy to write more than a couple sentences on that…
Yeah, Purple, I don’t really see that being a very deep topic…
“Well, white people killed way too many buffalo then they should have… And… Uhm… Now there’s a lot less than before…
The End”
spinning miner’s picks summer 97 for the first time, playing Peggle, a genius game that was clearly made for stoners.
Gosh, I feel like I’m scarred or something! I accidentally listened to the first 10 or so songs of the Lemonwheel, and throughout I was thinking, “Gosh, this doesn’t flow at all… In fact, this whole setlist looks kinda strange, why would they organize the songs like that?” And then I looked up the setlist and realized my songs were completely scrambled!
Terrible!
So now I’m starting over, and Mike’s > Simple makes a lot more sense then my previous opening combo of Simple, Divided Sky…
PEGGLE!
Love that game!
Played it to death… Now I play Bejeweled as my go to time waster on my iphone…
I should get back to Peggle for a little while though… Revisit, if you will!
Hmm, maybe I should clarify that it wasn’t an accident that I was listening to Lemonwheel…
The accident came in the form of the incorrect order…
As you were…
Thank you Mr. Miner!
JOTW is just what i needed!
yes peggle is quite fun… im having a blast right now. great high game
I’ve been listening to 6/29/00 this morning. What an energetic, fun show. Not really sure why I wasn’t at these Holmdel shows. I listened to 6/28/00 yesterday. Good stuff!
testing…
There is absolutely no chance that I’m the same person I was before I started the 3 hours burst of reading that finished “For Whom The Bell Tolls”. No way.
350 pages of tension just erupts in the most fluid, tense, exciting climax I’ve ever read.
Jeebus.
No question, my new favorite book.
Wow.
