LIVEPHISH 12/30/97 AUDIO & VIDEO RELEASED

After a standout show on 12/29/97, the band gave a loose, funky performance on the second night of their three-night holiday stand at MSG on 12/30 with a show-opening “Sneakin’ Sally Thru The Alley” and a playful, non-stop second set that highlighted a sublime “AC/DC Bag”, “McGrupp And The Watchful Hosemasters” and “Harpua” which introduced elements of the New Year’s Eve Udder Ball gag and Tom Marshall’s appearance for Phish’s first and only cover of The Proclaimer’s “I Wanna Be (500 Miles)”. A deep, four-song encore completed a curfew breaking second set.

Paul Languedoc’s 2-track soundboard mix, fully remastered by Fred Kevorkian is available now for download at LivePhish.com (MP3 and FLAC) and on CD as part of the LivePhish series, packaged in an innovative and earth friendly (fully recycled) folding softcase digi-pak. Video (with fully sync’d soundboard audio) is also available at LivePhish.com. We’ve created specially priced bundles for CD+MP3, CD+VIDEO, and FLAC+VIDEO.

Silent Places

Take me to the silent places
Places I can think
Looking at the silent faces
Hoping that they blink

Feeling just the wind
Nothing pre-arranged
Sending salutations
To the homeless and deranged

Thinking in those silent places
Thoughts that simply come
Listening for the traces
Of voices now long gone

When the time displaces
All the woes and wants
Now I am complacent
This moment now will haunt

So take me to the silent places
Places I can think
Looking at the silent faces
Hoping that they blink

We swam the same waters and drank the same air. Drunk on life and the pursuite of the Northern smile in the Michigan moonlight.

“ So in America when the sun goes down and I sit on the old broken-down river pier watching the long, long skies over New Jersey and sense all that raw land that rolls in one unbelievable huge bulge over to the West Coast…I think of Dean Moriarty, I even think of Old Dean Moriarty, the father we never found, I think of Dean Moriarty.”
-Jack Kerouac (On The Road)
