Having successfully recorded A Picture of Nectar at home in Burlington, Vermont, the band tracked a majority of Rift in familiar surroundings at hometown White Crow Studios. This also afforded them the ability to use familiar personnel. They worked again with Engineer Kevin Halpin who had engineered A Picture of Nectar a year earlier. Assistant Engineer Jon Altschiller was also part of the Nectar team. This time Producer, Barry Beckett, joined Kevin, Jon and Phish. Barry was Phish's first "outside" producer. The combination worked and the album made it to number 51 on Billboard's top 100 chart and was certified Gold in 1997.

Before the Rift sessions kicked off, members of Phish joined friends Shockra on September 4th at K.D. Churchill's in Burlington for an all-star guest set of Shockra classics and uncharted jams. Phish began the Rift sessions the following Monday, September 7th at White Crow, laying down tones and beginning tracking Fast Enough For You and Sparkle. All Things Reconsidered also had its genesis that day. On the 8th, they tracked versions of Horn and Maze, songs they would complete later in the month. On September 10th, the band tracked versions of It's Ice, Mound, Weigh, My Friend, My Friend (also called "Myf" at the time), Silent in the Morning and Fast Enough For You, among others. Tracking resumed on the 14th, yielding unused versions of Mound and Fast Enough For You. The band continued laying down tracks and parts throughout the month, with sessions at White Crow on September 16th, 17th, 19th and again the 27th and 28th. Generally, they would lay down a version or two of a song and then move on to the next, re-visiting the song later in the process to replay sections or work on particular parts. Amidst the work on Rift, on September 23rd Phish's first studio debut, Junta, was re-mastered by Bob Ludwig for its October Elektra cassette and double CD release. Another all-star jam at K.D. Churchill's punctuated the Rift sessions when members of Phish and others including Dave "The Truth" Grippo joined friends Colonel Bruce Hampton and the Aquarium Rescue Unit at the Burlington club on September 29th.

Overdub sessions continued at White Crow through the first week in October. Later in the month, the band went with Beckett to The Castle Recording Studios in Franklin, Tennessee to finish up recording and to mix the album. A couple songs were tracked entirely at The Castle, most notably The Wedge, referred to at the time as "The Great Divide", Lengthwise and The Horse. After finishing up work on Rift around the end of October, Phish returned home to prepare for their first Boston Garden appearance and their next tour (see This Month in Phish History, November, 1992), which would take them to twenty-four cities across the United States and Canada from late November through New Year's Eve.

I should have said, "I've never heard of these circulating" but thanks for the refresher. I think they have db entries like the 90 studio efforts (blanking on name atm) for each day but have no recordings. I still think we should raid the vaults. A bunch of crazy pills and we'd get through no problemo  :rawk:
