Watch Phish’s Monster Three-Set Magna Ball Show on Dinner and a Movie – 8/22/2015 Video

Phish’s weekly archival broadcast, Dinner and a Movie is back tonight with three monster sets from Watkins Glen. The show features the second night of Phish’s 10th festival, Magna Ball.

On the Saturday of Magna Ball, Phish pulled out an absolutely monster show. After a whopping 13 song first set capped off with a must-hear “Run Like an Antelope,” Phish drops one of the most memorable 3.0 jams of all time—”Tweezer > Prince Caspian.”

The third set features more fire including a pair of funky “Cities” sandwiching the 17 year “Mind Left Body Jam” bust out.

After the three sets and encore, Phish gave their “Drive In” set behind the movie theater screen. As Phish.net describes, the fourth set “started with the band playing behind the “Drive In Movie” screen that had been created for the festival. Slowly, their silhouettes became visible and the ambient jam veered towards a full on band jam while the screen simultaneously showed fractal like images of close-ups of the band.”

SET 1: Divided Sky, The Moma Dance > Mound, Army of One, Scabbard > Sample in a Jar, Tube, Halfway to the Moon, Camel Walk, How Many People Are You, When the Circus Comes, Undermind > Run Like an Antelope

SET 2: Wolfman’s Brother, Halley’s Comet > 46 Days -> Backwards Down the Number Line > Tweezer > Prince Caspian

SET 3: Meatstick > Blaze On -> Possum > Cities -> Mind Left Body Jam > Cities > Light > 555, Wading in the Velvet Sea > Walls of the Cave

ENCORE: Boogie On Reggae Woman > Tweezer Reprise

Thanks to Phish for the stream!

Phish served up their second installment of Dinner and a Movie last night with a fantastic show from summer 2014 at the Merriweather Post Pavillion.

On July 27th, 2014 Phish treated MPP to one of the most epic second sets in Phishtory with five doses of “Tweezer” and the obligatory “Tweezer Reprise” to end the evening.

During the set break, Phish shared a pre recorded Zoom call where they chatted about the show, cracked some jokes AND ANNOUNCED A NEW ALBUM! Titled Sigma Oasis, the new album is going to drop tonight at 9 PM on their Facebook Page. Fingers-crossed that this isn’t an April Fools gag!

First Listen: Phish’s Soundcheck from Legendary Dayton ’97 Show – 12/7/1997 SBD

1997 is arguable the best Phish vintage in existence. The crew is firing on all cylinders and is at peak Phish 1.0. While there are plenty of gems from ’97, Phish’s show from December 7th, 1997 in Dayton ranks among the top. Don’t take my word for it—Phish.net ranks the show at the Nutter Center 13th of all time.

While most band’s soundchecks are forgettable, Phish soundchecks have a quality difficult to pinpoint. My favorite Phish soundcheck is easily the 46-minute improvised Magnaball soundcheck.

The P-fish treated the soundcheck at the Nutter Center back in December of ’97 more like a mini-set. Trey, Mike, Page and Fish played some covers including Stevie Wonder’s “Boogie On Reggae Woman,” Zeppel’s “The Rover,” and Ween’s “The Stallion.” They also did some teases and gags before the big show.

1) 00:00 “Boogie On Reggae Woman” (Stevie Wonder cover)
2) 07:25 “Funky Bitch” (Trey on lead vocals)
3) 12:56 “I’ll Be Around” (The Spinners cover, snippet)
4) 18:47 “For No Reason Here’s Apu” (from The Simpsons)
5) 19:59 “Demand” (snippet)
6) 20:26 “My Mind’s Got A Mind Of Its Own” (Butch Hancock cover)
7) 24:15 “The Stallion (Pt. 3)” (Ween cover, snippet)
8) 26:05 “The Rover” (Led Zeppelin cover)
9) 29:10 “Limb By Limb” (snippet, Fishman only)

Thanks to Live For Live Music for surfacing the awesome soundboard recording!
