Jimmy's Weekly Phish Fry

Lately, I have been listening to a lot of Phish compliments of the Phish Google Spreadsheet. I figured since I don't have a weekly Phish post, why not start one. I will be posting some of my favorite shows with a link to download the show. I am not sure if I will have a set day for the post, so check back throughout the week for my pick.

Download the show here.

Phish
Wednesday, June 14, 1995
Mud City Amphitheater
Memphis, TN

Set 1: Don't You Wanna Go, Gumbo, NICU, Mound, Cavern, Possum, All Things Reconsidered, Amazing Grace, The Horse > Silent in the Morning, Spock's Brain, Split Open and Melt
Set 2: Also Sprach Zarathustra > Poor Heart > Tweezer, Acoustic Army, While My Guitar Gently Weeps
Encore: Simple, Rocky Top > Tweezer Reprise

Notes: Don’t You Wanna Go was preceded by a Stairway to Heaven tease. This 50+ minute Tweezer included a brief Gypsy Queen Jam, a 2001 tease, a Slave-like jam, and a Digital Delay Loop Jam with whistling. Simple was performed with an a cappella ending instead of a jam, akin to the ALO version from December 8, 1994. Amazing Grace was performed without microphones.

Wilco @ Coveleski Field, South Bend, IN 7-30-10

Last night, Wilco made their final Midwest appearance of the year at Coveleski Field in South Bend, IN. The show, which wasn't very crowded carried a very chill vibe and it felt like Wilco was playing someone's backyard. Jeff Tweedy was particularly chatty and touched a number of subjects including the futility of the Cubs, Glenn Kotche's broken toe, Kings of Leon, and his admittance of him trying zumba. The boys will curate their inaugural Solid Sound Festival in August before heading to Europe in the fall. Wilco will begin recording their new record in October. Thanks to my friends Jessica & Michael for making last nights show a blast! You can check out the setlist below.

I am definitely ready for the weekend. I haven't decided, but I might make it over to Lincoln Hall tonight for the Langhorne Slim show. It's a scorcher here in Chicago today, but I think it's supposed to cool off over the weekend. I will also probably make it over to Goose Island to try the the Sai-Shan-Tea. I hope everyone has a great weekend!

Weezer To Give 'Pinkerton' Deluxe Treatment

For me, Pinkerton is the essential Weezer album. I know that may sound crazy, but there isn't much to not like about this album. I know it doesn't have the catchy songs that Weezer (The Blue Album) had, but it just straight up rocks.

Anyways, I got very excited when I saw that Pinkerton was going to get re-released with a few extra goodies. Amazon has started a page for the upcoming release, which has an October 5th release date.

BrewDog Take Extreme ABV Brewing To Another Level

I haven't had a chance to open my bottle of Sink the Bismarck (41% ABV), and the folks at BrewDog have once again brewed the world's strongest beer. The End of History is a mind numbing 55% ABV! Yes, 55% ABV! Not only is the beer pretty strong, but it comes presented in a stuffed stoat or grey squirrel! That is ridiculous, but pretty cool at the same time.

This blond Belgian ale is infused with nettles from the Scottish Highlands and Fresh juniper berries. Only 12 bottles have been made and each comes with its own certificate and is presented in a stuffed stoat or grey squirrel. The striking packaging was created by a very talented taxidermist and all the animals used were road kill. This release is a limited run of 11 bottles, 7 stoats and 4 grey squirrels. Each ones comes with its own certificate of authenticity.

You can read more about The End of History here.

Wilco Leaves Nonesuch..... Wilco (The Label) On Tap?

It appears that Wilco is joining the growing number of bands/musicians who are either starting their own label or finding new ways to release new music. I am really excited to hear what Jeff Tweedy and company has up their sleeves. Stay tuned!

In an interview with D.C. website Express Night Out, Wilco guitarist Nels Cline mentioned that Wilco’s new album would be on their own record label. “I don’t know the name of it,” Cline told Express Night Out. “Jeff was basically not wanting to be on a record label for a while—he didn’t renew his contract with Nonesuch—so we’re striking out on our own, our own label. There might be a 7-inch or something, a little souvenir when we do this Mass MoCA [Solid Sound Festival in North Adams, Ma.] I’m not sure, really. Basically, Jeff and [Wilco manager] Tony Margherita are the masterminds, so I’m just cruising with what they want to do.”

Phish - I Am The Walrus

Phish @ Time Warner Cable Music Pavilion, Raleigh, NC 7-1-10

I will keep this short, but tonight Phish was once again firing on all cylinders. The tone was set early and the band carried that through the whole show. You MUST listen to "Light Up or Leave Me Alone". It was the song of the night, as it carried so much energy. Other highlights for me included "Backwards Down The Number Line", "Have Mercy", and a rocking "Suzy Greenberg". I need to get some sleep, but I am off to Charlotte in the morning, and can't wait for tomorrow night! Download the show now!
