Asheville: The Return of “Hot” Carl Mumpower [Hidden Track]
While Jersey City Councilman and wicked pissah Steve Lipski made a run for the title of Hidden Track’s Favorite Politician, that honor lies with Asheville City Council member “Hot” Carl Mumpower. Mumpower loves going to jamband concerts. Sure, he’s usually only attending RatDog or Panic shows at the Asheville Civic Center to observe illegal drug usage and bitch about it, but it seems Hot Carl actually liked what he saw at last night’s Phish concert.
Reviews: Show Recap – Southern Fried Phish [Coventry]
On paper… this looks slightly above average. In reality? The best show this tour.
Even the new songs? Stellar versions. Alaska made one helluva Phishy debut while I heard Kill Devil Falls for a third time in five shows. They’re getting better at it.
Asheville: Phish Frenzy to Hit Downtown [Citizen-Times]
But there’s never been anything quite like the jam rock band Phish, which will sweep into town for a Tuesday night concert in the arena, bringing huge numbers of people downtown. Some city streets will be closed, traffic will be intense and downtown businesses will be packed.
