Remembrances: Hampton ’97 – A Look Back, Part One [Phish.net]

The opener in hindsight is a tremendous treat, the debut of The Rolling Stones “Emotional Rescue.” A song that only Mike could properly handle his shift between baritone and falsetto tones pays a nice homage to a legend like Jagger. It’s also a glimpse into the vocal range Mike has always possessed. In 1997 his vocals felt more like a goof than a talent, but fourteen years later you can hear the potential and see the connection to the extremely strong vocal presence he maintains now.

Live Phish: Phish to Release Hampton / Winston-Salem ’97 [Hidden Track]

When discussing the Holy Grail of Phish shows stuck inside the band’s vault, the Hampton ’97 performances and Big Cypress are usually towards the top of most fans’ lists. On December 6, Phish fans will finally get to hear the Hampton ’97 performances in all their Fred Kevorkian-mastered soundboard glory when JEMP Records puts out Hampton / Winston Salem ’97. The wonderful kicker is that the band has attached the severely underrated November 23, 1997 show to this seven-CD set that will also include never-before-heard soundchecks.

There was no greater news to New England in the winter of 2009 than the word that Phish was getting back together for a three-night run at the Hampton Coliseum. What started out as three (very thorough) reunion shows turned into the next leg of the Vermont quartet’s career, and they kicked everything off with “Fluffhead”.

Does this mean that Phish’s long, well-publicized love affair withHampton Coliseum is over?

“Absolutely not,” said Joe Tsao, director of the Coliseum. He pointed out that a number of Phish shows in Hampton were special events, either part of a farewell or a welcome back set of concerts.

“Now, they’re back to regular touring,” Tsao said. “Are they saving me for something special? I don’t know.”

Songs: Stories About Songs – Hampton Fluffhead [BeauColburn]

This one moment—this one choice—didn’t just set the tone for that show, or that tour, but for the rest of the band’s career. And to be honest, it set the tone for how I would feel about them moving forward. This was the real deal. So this is how it’s gonna be huh? They were clearly serious and I would take them seriously.

Of all the shows, in all the years, this one song—these few seconds as the waves of excitement expanded through the crowd—stand above anything else I’ve ever experienced. If you could bottle the feeling in that room at that moment you could solve a lot of problems. Pure, pure bundles of joy.

Remembrances: Hampton ’09 – A Look Back [Phish Thoughts]

Over the three-part dream, Phish played for nearly ten hours, running through no less than 84 songs of their notoriously vast catalog. From the very beginning of 2009, beginning with “Fluffhead,” and “Divided Sky,” one sensed things would be different this time around. Focused far more on composition and precision than jamming, the band got back to basics at Hampton, a trend that characterized the entire year for Phish. Without getting too crazy or improvisational, Hampton set up the rest of 2009, just as 2009 set up 2010; both periods representing building blocks towards high-level musical proficiency without too many risks.
