10/31 - MGM Grand Arena - Las Vegas, NV - Post Show Discussion

Once they get the licensing sorted out they have to release this show on Blu-ray.  They just have to.

I would hope so.  More likely that they will release the whole run as a CD set, but video would be dope.....

all the live phish stuff is already on CD, just sayin.

Yeah a CD only release of any 3.0 wouldn't really make any sense.

You're right, even Utica was a DVD.  Utica vs. Vegas is laughable, even though Utica has a few very good parts.....

[PIE-GUY]

Yes!

[Caravan2001]

Yes!

So sick....

[mistercharlie]

That video was great. And when I first listened to the set I saw that scene from Scary Movie in my head.

"Somebody help... My pussy's trying to kill me!"

[gah]

Yes!

So sick....

New interview in Boston Globe......Trey discusses the genesis of the Halloween set and that the instrumentals are now part of the Phish repertoire. YAY!!! Here is the exert:

Trey Anastasio was on the brink of looking lame, until some teenagers set him straight.

He was taking a beach walk with his two daughters this summer, when one asked him what his band, Phish, was cooking up for Halloween this year — typically a red-letter date on its concert calendar. He said the group might not do anything special this time around.

"They both looked at me and were like: What? You are so lame!" says Anastasio, 50, on the phone from his New York City home. "They were just in my face about the whole thing. I think right then was when the idea sprung up."

That idea was a surprise Halloween set in which the band — outfitted in white tuxedos and zombie makeup — performed 11 newly written instrumentals, augmented with sound effects from a 1964 Disneyland Records novelty release.

The band members initially fleshed out the details while flying to shows held over Labor Day weekend. Anastasio says the songs, which were rapturously received, will enter Phish's repertoire.  :banana:
....................

Phish re-formed in 2009, and has caught particular creative momentum over the past two or three years. That spooky success this October, coupled with the Halloween show in 2013 — at which the band also debuted a set of new, albeit more conventional songs — convinced Anastasio that Phish is still fending off the industry clichés and creative malaise he once forecast.

"I feel like it's as creative a moment in Phish's history as it's ever been," he says. "We did so much forward motion this year, I think we rediscovered each other. The scene used to be so massive. Now we spend our time alone with the four band members together, and look what's happening. That's the way it always was, like, in '94 and '97," he adds, citing two particularly creative years.

After Phish's run of shows around New Year's Eve, Anastasio reveals, he won't play with any of his projects until Phish's summer tour. Next year will be a "quieter" year for the band with fewer concerts, he says. But this winter he'll release a new solo album, have a writing retreat with Marshall, and perhaps get together with Phish to hang out and maybe work on new material.
