Phish Rumor: No Alpine Valley 2012?

Saw on an internet board the following re: Phish dates at Alpine Valley Music Theater this summer:

Just spoke with the Hampton Inn in Elkhorn, WI near Alpine....
and Jimmy Buffet's production team has booked 40 rooms......
6/30-7/1 is not true, sad rlly

I have my doubts.

As a bonus, here's a fairly sweet audience vid of The Man Who Stepped Into Yesterday from Alpine '09



Chanenu v'anenu

Chanenu v'anenu
Ki ain banu ma'asim
Asseh imanu

Asseh imanu tsadaka vichesed v'hoshi'ainu

Our Father Our King
Be gracious unto us
And answer us

For we are wanting
in good deeds
Deal with us in charity
And save us

ph1990-02-17

Just passing this along. Not my recordings/channel. I'm just surprised to see this. I used to collect a lot of VHS back in the 90's and this definitely didn't circulate. Apparently it never has. Until yesterday.

On the occasion of it's 22nd Anniversary. Extremely rare, never-before posted footage. Full concert by Phish at the UMass Amherst Student Union Ballroom.

No offense, and I'm well aware that somebody will say this every year, and there is some great stuff in there, but this looks like the least interesting Bonnaroo lineup yet. Keep your fingers crossed for more TBA's

Record Store Day Junta Triple LP Drops April 21, 2012

This LE Deluxe 3-LP vinyl set is limited to 5,000 individually numbered copies. Junta was recorded at Euphoria Sound Studios in Revere, Massachusetts in 1987 and 1988 on 16-track 2" tape and was mixed to 1/4" stereo reels. In addition to writing and performing all the music, the band produced the album themselves.



Junta was originally self-released on cassette tape in May 1989 with packaging created by the band (included in the new vinyl package). The album was remastered and rereleased as a double CD (and cassette) in October 1992. Junta was certified Gold but, until now, has never been heard on vinyl. The vinyl release was created from the original stereo master reels with lacquers cut by Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering. Each LP is pressed onto 180g audiophile grade vinyl and includes a free MP3 download of the entire album (transferred from the new vinyl master).

2,500 of the Junta LE Deluxe 3-LP sets will include a brand new Limited Edition hand-carved, hand-printed linolium block poster by Jim Pollock, created exclusively for this release. These editions will be distributed randomly at participating independently owned record stores across the country, but will be clearly marked.

This LE Deluxe 3-LP vinyl set was created exclusively for Record Store Day. Junta will be available in stores only beginning Saturday, April 21st. For a complete list of participating record stores, please click here.

Do the math.

Dude. Also, possible Radiohead set to open for Van Halen.

Phish Books: FALL 98

Fall 98

"Suspend your normal grooming habits and dash on the patrouli, it's time for Phish tour. Hit the road with Julian Jakos, a precarious 23-year-old, as he quits his job at a sock factory and hops in the Isuzu Trooper of Peter Grossinger, a kleptomaniac gas station attendant who also works the night shift. As they travel across America Fall 98 chronicles Julian's arresting adventures with sex, drugs, rock n' roll, rogue cops, raver-hippy hybrids, maniacal twirlers, and mile after mile of interstate. This extraordinary read is a non-stop coming-of-age tale that's as much comical as it is disparaging, a book so saturated with drug logic you'll think you're being dosed. Not just a novel for Phish fans, Fall 98 is a universally identifiable adventure in escapism."

Rumor: BETHEL MEMORIAL DAY CONFIRMED

BETHEL MEMORIAL DAY CONFIRMED
http://bit.ly/z7VVvA
via PTthreadofday

Town Clerk: Hello, how may I help you? 

Me: Hi, I was told you might be able to help me out. My wife and I live part time residents, and we are planning on having our daughter's wedding here in Bethel over Memorial Day weekend at our home. My wife was told yesterday that the town may be hosting some big "Rock & Roll Festival" over the holiday weekend. Needless to say, we are thinking that this may NOT be the ideal weekend to bring dozens of family and friends into town. 

Town Clerk: No, sir. Theres's no rock festival. It's the band Phish. They are playing at Bethel Woods. They were here last year, and they are coming back again. They have very nice fans, and they are not a rowdy crowd. I wouldn't alter your daughter's wedding plans. 

Me: Are you positive that this is taking place over Memorial Day Weekend? 

Town Clerk: "Yes"
