Albany: Review – Phish 11/27/2009 [Jambands]

The show was certainly unique, interesting and loaded with quirky asides, although nothing especially earth shattering. And that’s just fine; it was a Phish show right in the middle of a Thanksgiving Phish tour, with all the comfort and ease and sense of tradition that that brings.

Albany: Phish Cover TV on the Radio [Rolling Stone]

Phish have become known for performing unexpected and diverse covers in their two decade-plus career, taking on everything from entire albums — like the Rolling Stones’ Exile on Main Street at this year’s Festival 8 — to songs by artists like Talking Heads, the Velvet Underground, Ween and countless more. This past weekend, Phish added another, more contemporary group to their arsenal, performing TV on the Radio’s Dear Science single “Golden Age” for the crowd at Albany, New York’s Times Union Center on November 27th.

Review: Phish’s Albany Adventure – Night One [Hidden Track]

What made last night’s show so great were all the curveballs thrown at various points in the show. Whether it was dusting off Jimmy Dale Gilmore’s My Mind’s Got a Mind of Its Own, busting TV on the Radio’s Golden Age to the delight of the indie segment of the fanbase or debuting the reggae-tinged original Tomorrow’s Song; the quartet kept fans guessing all night long.

Albany: A Golden Age [Phish Thoughts]

Completely Phishifying the original, the band absolutely annihilated a brand new shining piece of improv that immediately stood out as one of the best jams of tour. I’ve got to imagine Trey picked this one out of the crowd and brought it to the band to practice and practice and practice, because when they unveiled the piece, it translated brilliantly.

Albany: Show Recap – Albany Night On [Coventry]

As soon as I heard the opening notes, I tweet’d… Fluffhead of all Fluffheads to save the show. Boy, was I right. The crowd exploded into a collective orgasm. I had to check my pants to make sure I didn’t not leave any semen streaks. I had not seen that much frenzied and kinetic energy at a show since the first night in Hampton. The crowd were patiently wading through the fluff in the first set until Phish stopped driving in cruise control like your grandmother on the freeway and let it rip like a NASCAR driver. They floored the accelerator for the rest of the show and did not let up.

That’s why I travel long distances to see the Phish.

Albany: Phish Nods to Little Feat, TV on the Radio [Jambands]

In many ways, though, the band’s first set was just a warm-up for what was to come. The Vermont Quartet kicked things off with the popular Rift track “My Friend, My Friend” and proceeded to debut a cover of the indie rock group TV on the Radio’s “Golden Age” (the soul-funk rocker appears on the band’s 2008 release Dear Science). The song remained faithful to TV on the Radio’s arrangement at first, but quickly moved into a short, funky jam.
