Pre ordered.

Can we talk about why they are selling CDs? I know the Dead sells a shitload of them, but they also put some effort into liner notes and packaging. Phish just drops CDs in cardboard and ships them to people who rip them and share them with cheapos like me on the internet. At least put some fucking effort into this, Phish!!! 
I've been coming to where I am from the get go
Find that I can groove with the beat when I let go
So put your worries on hold
Get up and groove with the rhythm in your soul

Yeah it would be nice if they did more than the bare minimum, but CDs are better than no CDs. And I am sure there are plenty of people out there that, like me, that will buy the CDs and will not buy a digital only release. 

But, while we're on the topic, it is a shame that they no longer do the bonus disc in order to entice us into ordering directly. I'm sure as hell not ordering that lulzy Pollock, so Amazon it is.

But, I don't think our fans do happily lap it up, I think they go online and talk about how it was a bad show.

I copped the shirt. Had the original back in the day so I felt the need to replace it.

Yeah, I will not buy a digital-only release.  I hate that. 

I'm glad they seem to have tamed a touch of the obnoxious Fishman drumming from the Gorge 98 release.  The overheads are still compressed to the gills, but they're at least putting Trey and Page on top where they belong when they are in the spotlight, ie: Divided Sky. 


I just don't understand why they have to change the mixing philosophy.  The original Live Phish cds from that era are absolutely perfect, mix and mastering-wise.  10/31/98 is probably my favorite-sounding live album of all time. 

Either way, more '97 is always welcome.  Sorry if I'm ornery, hernia surgery sucks.

Philly 97 sounds great and as we all know, killer shows.

New Phish release on a sunny Saturday, life is good.

Went straight to the post Possum Jam from 12/3 this am, so good.

Been listening to this Spectrum release for two days... great stuff. But...

Does it seem like the cymbals are really loud throughout. It's driving me a little crazy. I even started comparing tracks to the same songs from other releases on from the same tour and it just seems like this release is all cymbals.

I really like the sound of it.  Haven't focused too much on the cymbals but I did notice the hi-hat (which yes, I know are also cymbals) is really prominent in the mix.  All in all I think it is a killer release, so much solid playing. Have only heard the LP Hi-Fi stream so I need to DL the FLACS.

heard that weird "applause sign" crowd roar after PYITE before drowned.  That must have been a mixing error on the original tape right?

listening to bowie "Jesus, Fishman is playing *that* as just the verse groove? I remember why drummers always freak out about him."  this happens during every archival release with a bowie.

mistercharlie

It definitely sounds like some 'canned applause' was thrown in at some points. I thought I was maybe just hearing it wrong.

Still, an amazing release that I've listened to more than a few times already.

Trey singing Funky Bitch is pretty funny to me, too!
