Perhaps a song or two.  But, I think what you are getting at is they were a phish tour band when they started.

now were the phish tunes in the bisco style or were they straight covers?

[fauxpaxfauxreal]

They didn't start up with the trance jams until mid-98 so they were most likely straight covers.

Bisco in the Nine Nine! (Yes I'm dating myself :roll:)

Ok, I peeked in because I had to see what aug was posting... I'll be nice, I promise.

Why don't they allow trading of their old material? Embarrassment?

[Gumbo72203]

ive always wanted to hear them do their Phish covers, because i really think if more people heard them then they wouldn't talk shit about the Disco Biscuits so much. 

plus that dyslexic Harry Hood sounds very very interesting.  more later...

I was thinking inhumane treatment of concert goers.   :wink:

[Gumbo72203]

the Disco Biscuits never treated ME inhumanely, PHAN.  lol. 

i donno, i enjoy their music.  I think they're great, and quite talented.  I get down to the trance jams sober, not even blazed.  But thats probably just because i loooved Paul Van Dyk and cheesey ecstasy trance before i even heard of the Disco Biscuits (and when i still listened to death metal.  go figure)

Still doesn't explain the pre-97 trade embargo.

Still doesn't explain the pre-97 trade embargo.

sorry, as faux pointed out, the band really didn't start to develop their sound until mid-late 98 (check out the Helicopters from 12-31-98 for some good future sounds) so the asked that recordings of their music before it got to where they wanted it not be traded, as its not an accurate representation of what they want their fans to hear. Plus on 10-31-98 they got the JM-1000 or something like that, a new synth, that put the band on the path, more info here I'm sure,

I still think it is lame that there is a pre-97 trade embargo as well.

I think they're using that as an excuse while it's obvious that they're embarrassed by their heavy jam band roots.

That would be like phish Outlawing trading of pre-86 tapes because it's not representitive of how the bands sound would develop.

Frankly, it's retarded.
