I hope the big announcement is that Phish will never play again.

I'm very very dissapointed in their "comeback" if that's the announcement.

There's no way that's the announcement.

I have a feeling it will be something like more $175 Iris prints on Drygoods or something...

Hopefully it's a Live Phish announcement about the New Years 96 run.

Sorry to burst your bubbles, folks.

Word is that the announcement is that Page is stepping down as "Chairman of the Board"

In order to fill the office, runoff election between Ben Folds, John Medeski and that guy from Coldplay will be held early in the new year.

I'm w/matt here, nothing major, more drygoods stuff.  Some photos would be nice, but Bring on Hampton Comes Alive part Deux, 1997.  A cypress DVD would totally honk.   :roll: :wink:

No, that's why i think it's a livephish.com release of the NYE96 run.

It's a helluva lot easier just to show up and play Bonnaroo than it is to get the Phish festival team back together.  I'm not saying I like or endorse this rumor, but that angle I can see...
Title: Re: "Big" Phish announcement on Friday
Post by: phil on December 14, 2006, 03:13:59 PM
bonnaroo does seem like the ideal place to reunite, but jedi has a point, reuniting there would seriously FLOOD the place with phans (nothing wrong with that), but it would probably also overshadow the other performers.

with regards to a reunion idea, i love the optimism and i can only hope for the best. if/when they get back together, it probably will be something big like bonnaroo, or possibly another NYE show like 12/31/02. another option (and by far my favorite) would be for it to be unannounced. thoughts anyone?
Title: Re: "Big" Phish announcement on Friday
Post by: mattstick on December 14, 2006, 03:15:37 PM

Hampton, Shoreline or Deer Creek would all be better places to reunite than Bonnaroo, imo.

I don't really care that tickets would be tough - that never stopped me before.

None of this better happen before 2010 though, or I'll be pissed.

1) That "joke" blog from Tom.......Fishman sold his house in VT....moved, and now he's back in VT.................kinda strange........

2) If it were going to be a festi release, it is going to be either Clifford or Cypress......DVD's

3) Too much talk from everyone *except Page*....and there-in lies the weakest link........but he;s always been the quiet one.........

Just my thoughts from things I've noticed/witnessed lately.......esp. the Fishman thing coupled with the Marshall blog......

Listening to 11/14/95 today on my bike ride I thought to myself "please god don't let phish come back... unless they can play with the energy, precision and emotion that they played with on 11/14/95"

I definitely feel that way.

Anything less than the best would be pointless.

I won't see phish if they come back and are a "nostalgic novelty".

1995 was 11 years ago, and Phish had everything to prove back then.  That's all a thing of the past I'm afraid - once you've made it can you really ever bring it like you did when you were on the way up?

I would think that after august 2004, phish would definitely feel like they have something to prove.

Namely that they ARENT a nostalgic novelty.

And what I mean is that it doesn't have to sound like 1995...it just has to have the care and energy displayed in that music.

The FUN The WOW The ZING!

Anything less than that and it's not even worthwhile (imo) for them to plan any type of shows.

A friend of mine spent the night in a local bar with Fishman recently......they got to talking, and well......I'm not gonna play the telephone game, but some of the things I heard about were quite "interesting" to say the least......

Trey is going to get a new dog! Also I heard it from a source that he will have a ruffles and a ham sandwich with lettuce, tomato, mustard and mayo with a tall cold glass of milk for lunch.

This still doesn't seem fully entered.  I tried show #397 but there's nothing.  I'd imagine a full run.  It'd be a really cool thing for them to do for the next few years.  Release the NYE runs for other years culminating with 99.  Crossing fingers!

Maybe two years after the breakup theyre just sick of people making up URLs for their websites to get the jump on trivial "big announcements" like SBD releases so they decided to take their ball and go home.

Well, running IIS isnt going to help them with security.  But thats another long boring thread that probably only about 2.5 people here are interested in. 

The point is, is a new SBD release even that exciting?  Enough to go through the trouble of making shit up to get a jump on it and be the first to post the URL to phantasytour?  I mean, I realize its all we get, but at what point does it become just another release?  Its not like we havent all heard this show 100 times from a decent FOB tape.

Well, people are prone to get carried away with this sort of thing and some people are hyped to be the ones to pass on the link because they want to be 'THAT GUY WHO FIGURED IT OUT FIRST'.

I think, if you look back to the beginning of this thread, you'll find that here, at least, the community is a little less excitable.

Will a sbd release of that show be cool and welcome? yup. Will I shit a brick and click right over to dl it? nope.

Understandable to be excited about it after its confirmed, especially in your circumstance. 

Im talking about the week long rumor mill and people actually looking for the link long before theyre ready to take it public. 

If I was the person who originally started the rumor, Id feel silly if it ended up being nothing more than a new LP SBD.

Its possible that Inc. saw the negative feedback Trey was receiving early on and said Fuck It.    

For clarity, the intial "rumor" was/is the Live Phish new releases that currently remain "suspended".  Trey's bust was a not so pleasant "extra" if you will?

Thank you.  I wasn't going to check in until I got back from vacation, but wanted to see what all the hubbub was about (I would still settle for a NYE '96 release). And I couldn't decipher a goddamn thing.
I'll stow some money away for these releases, and chalk the rest of this business into the obvious category.

So do we think the livephish release is gonna be all 3 MSG97 shows, or just 12/29/97?

The 12/30/97 Schoeps AUD is pretty good but theres no AUD that will compare to an official, mastered, release.

     The directors of the firm hired to continue the big announcement after the other   
     people had been sacked, wish it to be known that they have just been sacked.                               

     The big announcement has been completed in an entirely different style at great
     expense and at the last minute.

Video too?  I haven't been tempted before, but then they go and offer the whole show (minus GTBT, bummer).

What I'll do personally is run a slideshow during the missing video...  I see that this show hadn't circulated in video so I can't patch anything.  This is gonna be cool.  I'll grab these within a few days.  mp4 also, does anyone have stats on those?  resolution?  Did they make it 640x480?

Oh and I just saw that the other video comes in the package, so that's awesome.  Just the encore video is cut!  Not bad.

The videos have fades at the start and end of each so there is no seamless playback...

Resolution is still 320x240.

Well, that's shit for resolution.  I'll just have to sync the faded video to the flac audio.  Oh well.  Should be OK, just like switching camera views or whatever. 

I wonder if there'd be any complaints if I did this, and distributed it (only to people who bought both the video and audio).  Technically, everyone who owns the audio and video could do the work themselves, so I don't see why not.  It's just that I can't really verify who has it.

Comments?

I'm not sure of the legality, but it's a convincing argument that you should be able to distribute it to people who bought both the video and audio. I still don't think Phish would be cool with it. You would have to prove that people bought it before distributing it. I think it's a great idea, and I'm all for it. Just don't know what Phish would say.

Here's what Shapiro said about this show:

The band hit the stage on the 29th, with NICU > Golgi Apparatus > Crossroads. This was one of only 9 Phish performances of Crossroads, Robert Johnson's devilish tale of the making of a guitar hero. A hot Cars Trucks Buses and soaring Fluffhead lead to a set-closing Antelope that belongs with the likes of 4/5/98 Cavern, 11/17/97 Ghost and 7/29/97 Gumbo for extended funk within a Phish composition. A dark and poignant Down With Disease > David Bowie opened set two before the band paid tribute to the Blues Brothers (and Otis Redding who penned the classic) with a double Possum/I Can't Turn You Loose sandwich preceding a deep, telepathic Tube and a smoking You Enjoy Myself to close the set. The Good Times Bad Times encore delved back into funk territory and unfortunately can't be included with the video for the show. Like Landover and the other two shows from the holiday '97 tour, this show transcends all worldly expectations and each deserves a chapter of its own.
