Reviews: Mike Gordon @ The Egg [Metroland]

Gordon and friends saved the best for first, exploding with a monster first set that featured, in its 90-plus minutes, a chunk of nearly an hour with no pause in the proceedings. Songs flowed together with great ease, segues varying from the quick and deftly executed to slow builds that almost miraculously twisted from point A to point B. Afterwards, the second set felt like a prolonged warm-up; there was plenty of thrashing rock & roll energy, but it seemed the fireworks had already exploded. (Along the way, Alanis Morissette’s “Hand in My Pocket” was recast as a Southern rock tune that could have been a Black Crowes outtake.)

Reviews: New Release – Phish Hampton / Winston-Salem ’97 [Dog Gone Blog]

Set between the abstract psychedelia that stretched from 1994-1996 and the cosmic rock that formed between 1998 and 2000, this phase marked the largest upending in Phish’s career since they graduated from playing Grateful Dead and Wilson Pickett tunes in the 80s. The inspiration for this transition came while performing the entirety of Talking Heads’ Remain in Light on Halloween ’96, gradually taking hold over the following year, and finally coming to fruition during the fall of ’97.

Reviews: Phish Box Set Brings Back The Bliss [Jeremy D. Goodwin]

After an ear-bending series of artistic advances for three years previous, 1996 had proven an anticlimactic period of retrenchment. The next year was a thrilling advance, with two small-venue European tours injecting a fresh sense of spontaneous musical intimacy to the band’s interplay, paired with the psychedelic free-rock chops it had been honing since the early ‘90s. And by now Phish’s nascent interest in rhythm-based jamming had matured into a headlong infatuation with funk-rock. Guitarist and primary songwriter Trey Anastasio later described the style, aptly, as “cow funk” — the result of four white guys from Vermont getting heavily into James Brown records, while experimenting with slower tempos and meditative, deep grooves. (Alas, it inspired a seemingly unending parade of flaccid-funk groups that mistook dynamic stasis for the pocket.)
