Gear: How Mike Gordon Gets That Cactus Sound [Source Audio]

6/23/2010 – The night that we brought Mike an updated model of the Soundblox Bass Envelope Filter, Phish tore through a cover of Robert Palmers ‘Sneaking Sally Through The Alley” that featured a righteous jam at the end that let the BEF shine.  Bonus:  see Mike stomp his BEF, which sits on the floor for this show, at about the 2:54 mark during their Doobie Brothers-esque vocal jam.

Cactus: Mike Gordon to return to moe.down over Labor Day Weekend [Hidden Track]

As you can see, Mike Gordon will return to moe.down for the third time on Labor Day Weekend. Cactus had previously performed at moe.down VII in 2006 with Ramble Dove and at moe.down V in 2004 with the Benevento-Russo Duo. This time the Phish bassist should have his kick ass solo band in tow and plenty of material from his forthcoming new album to play.

Cactus: From the Archives – Mike Gordon’s Bass Player Interview [Oh Kee Pah Blog]

How did the Hampton shows go?We might have been trying to prove something on the first night. We started with “Fluffhead” and played a lot of other orchestrated material, so it was a little difficult to get the groove going. I was surprised at how much I loved the other two nights. They were the highest-energy concerts I have ever experienced—period.

Cactus: Mike Gordon Announces March Tour [Hidden Track]

I guess the members of Phish aren’t into spending too much time off the road these days, as we’ve got a second band member hitting the road this winter. Phish bassist Mike Gordon has just announced an eight show run with his solo band that kicks off on March 5 at the tiny Revolution Hall in Troy, NY. Tickets for all eight shows are currently on-sale now through a real-time fan pre-sale at mikegordontickets.rlc.net.

Cactus: Phish Bass Player Meets WI Man With Same Name [Chicago Tribune]

Phish bass player Mike Gordon, meet Madison real estate agent Mike Gordon.

The bass playing Gordon has known about his counterpart ever since he tried to secure the Web site address mikegordon.com about five years ago. It was already taken, by the real estate agent, way back in 1994. So the other Gordon, the one in the 26-year-old acclaimed jam band, settled on mike-gordon.com.

On Saturday night, during the set break of a concert by Gordon’s solo band in Madison, the other Gordon was there.
