Phish needs to do a Japan run like they did in 2000, then you can be sure that I'll book flights. The Japanese crowd loved Phish. I still see Japanese fans from Japan on tour around the USA.

Yeah D666, people need to realize that it's not all hippies and drugs. Hearing someone solo over the rest of the band is alright, but what happens when it's a full band rock improv. And I'm not talking about jazz, you'll have to hear it to believe it.

This is from the Labor Day run in Commerce City, CO. Go to the 5 minute mark and listen. Tell me that's not badass….

Here's another great clip from the 3 night run in Chicago, 2011. It was the middle of August and hot as heck. This clip has another great example of full and rock improv, it hits around the 7:45 mark straight through the end. Also, at the 9:30 mark, check out the lights. It's the best classy light show around. The lights are also done on the fly by the lighting guy, Chris Kuroda. No lasers, fire balls or props, just four dudes, with the sickest light show, playing the best live show money has to offer. Enjoy.

This song is Undermind. It's part of the 2nd set from the 1st night, 8/15/11. The whole set is amazing. I was leaning on the back wall during this song, it was too hot. Chicago in August is lethal….

I thought I'd throw up this clip of a young Eric Clapton. This was from the Rolling Stones Rock N Roll Circus that was taped in 1968. It wasn't aired until the late 90's after being shelved all those years. Eric plays lead in this one off supergroup The Dirty Mac, led by John Lennon, Keith Richards (on bass) & Mitch Mitchell (Jimi Hendrix). This clip is of the Beatles song Yer Blues. Notice John in the full on Canadian tux, there was no doubt that he was a denim freak like us. Enjoy…

I got one more for y'all. It's from the Steeldrivers. They are a bluegrass band from Nashville, TN. The band was started by Chris Stapleton. He's a songwriter and has written for Kenny Chesney and Trace Adkins. He makes big bucks writing, but his passion is bluegrass. However, he left the band to write more and raise his family, so it's not possible to see him live anymore. The new singer kind of sucks, but Chris' vocals cannot be matched. I used to live in Memphis, so that is how I got into bluegrass. It's either that or country and I'm straight with modern/contemporary country. I used to drive solo to Nashville on the weekends to see shows at the Station Inn. The Station Inn is another whole story in itself.

The tune is Drinkin' Dark Whiskey. Great Saturday tune. Bet ya didn't see this one comin'. Enjoy.
