So, odds are you probably don't like Phish. That's cool, you don't have to. But I bet it would probably surprise you, then, that none other than this gentleman appears to be hip to what those weird white dudes from Vermont are doing: So yeah, there's that...

While Phish fans are eagerly awaiting the news of new summer tour dates (including a very likely slot at this year's Bonnaroo Music Festival), frontman Trey Anastasio is busy performing with symphonies on his first ever orchestral tour. The intrepid team at Phish.net followed along with the setlist and photos quickly popped up via the [...]

February is always an exciting time of year to plan ahead for music festival season and this week has been a busy one around these parts. Everyone else is getting busy, too; it looks like the Bonnaroo website was just relaunched with a new set of 2012 graphics and a promise of an artist announcement [...]

With the three year anniversary of Phish's "return" looming, and finding ourselves in between the madness of New Year's and the announcement of Summer Tour, I felt it was a good time to take a look at the transformation of Phish's scene in this day and age, and more specifically, what's missing from outside the shows, more specifically the aspects of the scene and parking lots. [Photo by Joel Berk] While the days of packing up the car and doing a full tour are seemingly long gone with [...]

Enjoy the Super Bowl. Win or lose, it appears that Belichick will be Page Side Rage Side come Summer Tour. Thanks to JMB, MD for sending. His favorite Phish song is the 10/18/94 Reba in case you were curious.

For those wondering what went into the "gag" that Phish pulled off as the clock struck midnight on New Year's Eve, there's a great article you need to read from Live Design . Author Marian Sandberg spoke with both the man behind the stunt, Tony Award-winning scenic designer David Gallo, in Part One of his two-piece feature, and Phish LD Chris Kuroda in the forthcoming second installment in a revealing look at how it all went down. Phish - Steam > Auld Lang Syne > Down With [...]

You've probably been following at least an inkling or rumor through Twitter that Phish is basically good-to-go for a multi-night run in Atlantic City some time in June. The local press has been leaking all they can to get the word out and tons of folks have already booked hotel rooms. Hidden Track seemed to [...]

Hot Tours: Phish, Elton John, Bob Seger [Billboard.com] Legendary jam band Phish tops Hot Tours with ticket sales totals reported from its traditional year ending run of concerts at the partially refurbished Madison Square Garden in New York City. The band played the arena to close out 2011 with sellout shows on each night from [...]

In a story we've been following for a while, the Atlantic City City Council has voted unanimously to approve four multi-day festivals to be held this summer at the shore town's vacated airfield - Bader Field. The festivals will take place on June 15 - 17, June 24 - 25, Sept. 22 - 23 and Sept. 29 - 30 according to the Press of Atlantic City . [Photo of DMB Caravan @ Bader Field by Jeremy Gordon ] The big question is which acts will play at these four [...]

Today, we'll wrap up our exhaustive holiday run coverage with the tradition we started back during the southern run of summer 2010 - the A to Z analysis. In this segment, we evaluate all aspects of a tour by touching on all the bases from beginning to end with a bullet for every letter in the alphabet. The band certainly left a lot of room for debate with regard to the recent four dates at Madison Square Garden as they played uncharacteristically well to begin the run, but trailed off noticeably as the days led up to the New Year's Eve celebration. [...]

Even though I do now remember seeing quite a bit of chatter on this version of "Fluffhead" that ended the first set on the Phish New Year's Eve show, it was one of the moments I skipped over when I rounded up 10 other rad moments from the NYE run this past Friday. You've got [...]

Everyone's had a full week to digest the Phish New Year's Eve run, arguably a "standard" Phish affair with no major surprises but an undeniably fun four-nights in NYC for a ton of lucky music fans. That's a great way to kick off a new year no matter what, and we're psyched to be kicking [...]

Over the first few years of our existence, we welcomed one of our favorite writers, David Schultz of the Earvolution staff, to contribute features and reviews from time to time. It's been a while since his last post for Hidden Track, but we're happy to announce that will change in 2012 as today marks his first bi-weekly column for us. David's column, titled Hitting The Trunk Road , will offer a mix of reviews, opinions, editorializing and the like. For his first piece, David brings some much needed perspective into the conversation about Phish's New Year's Run. [...]

Last evening while watching a replaying of The Fugitive on AMC I happened to notice the commercial below. The Liberty Mutual spot was a seemingly unremarkable interruption of the Harrison Ford classic. But at the end of the ad something caught my eye, take a close look and see if you spot a notable detail. A quick Google search for "Forbins Restaurant" provided no results about an actual real-world diner, but I did find this post on the www.week4paug.net message board. The post was created by forum user "Nobes" on Dec. 27, [...]

photos by Ryan Barkan "i just want to say that i think glorified displays of people wasted out of their minds and passed out are really upsetting to me." - JD Samson "Nothing turns me conservative faster than being on a train with a bunch of stoned Phish fans that just got out of Madison Square Garden." - Frank Hejl "So many Phish fans [...]

To end 2011, Phish returned to New York City's Madison Square Garden for a four-night stand that marked their second New Year's Eve year in a row (and their sixth overall) at the venue. With memories of a very impressive run to end 2010 at MSG, as well as to start 2011, with the first-ever show on New Year's Day, things seemed to really be clicking for the band. Throughout 2011, they made huge strides in playing and jamming as the year stretched onward, which all led up to this standalone New Year's Run following no fall tour this [...]

So, despite every awesome thing happening in San Francisco and Phish Couch Tour calling my name, I ended up disconnected a bit on New Year's Eve night and ended up spending my time with friends in the redwoods in Northern California. Life is good. In case you haven't found your way over to Phish.net yet, [...]

Tonight, HT faves Phish return to Madison Square Garden for their traditional New Year's Eve performance. This marks the group's sixth NYE show at "The World's Greatest Arena." [Photo by Michael Stein] A Pay-Per-View webcast of tonight's show is available through LivePhish.com . We're trying something different this run. In addition to our at-a-glance recap of the show we call The Skinny and the setlist, we're also presenting a Live Blog with the help of our friends at Next Jam . We'll compile tweets from [...]

On the 20th anniversary of a memorable night at The Aud in Worcester, Mass. that signaled Phish's rise to a new level of success the band has released an official recording of December 31, 1991 through LivePhish.com . Current LivePhish mix maestro Jon Altschiller recorded the show both through a soundboard patch and through an audience recording and has combined the tapes to create a matrix. Mastering guru Fred Kevorkian worked his magic on Altschiller's files to create the best available recording of New Year's '91. You can purchase FLACs, MP3s [...]

Phish just kicked off night III of their New Year's run at MSG. Justin and I are both watching along from the comforts of our own homes thanks to the official Couch Tour webcast by Nugs Net. We're tweeting updates and following along with the usual suspects. Phish: Fri, Dec 30, 2011 Madison Square Garden, [...]
