Phish covers

So for the last 48 hours I've been listening to, "Sharin' in the Groove', a compilation of Phish covers (put out by the Mockingbird Foundation, with 'Who is She Music?'s permission).

Stand outs:
'Chalkdust Torture' by Los Villains - Fairly punk and probably faster than I've ever heard it.
'Gogli Apparatus' by the Stanford University Marching Band. Really fun to hear the "I-saw-you / With a ticket stub in your hand!" part done with trumpets.

Do you have a copy of Phish doing "Gold Soundz?"

the album cover w/ the scary nose hair made it onto Pitchfork's worst album cover list I think...

'Billy Breathes' is not a good album musically either.
The track 'Free' is OK.

Don't have the Gold Soundz, no.

I do have them covering Talking Head's 'Remain in Light' in its entirety, during Phish's for-Halloween-we'll-cover-an-whole-album-for-the-second-set phase, '95-'98. Always liked Phish's versions of 'Loving Cup', 'Good Times,Bad Times', and Hendrix's 'Isabella'.

But that's what's sort of fun about this comp, that the shoes on the other foot.

Can't figure out what the <b>worst</b> track is:
'Waste' by Dave Mathews or 'Sample in a Jar' by Little Feat are the front runners.

Also digging 'My Friend My Friend / Guyute' Medley by the Vermont Youth Orchestra. Sloppy but interesting.

I think I made out to some Phish covers when I was 20. I think that was December 1994. Maybe I was 19. It was definitely in Florida. Just thinking about it makes me feel dirty.

Curious question.

Who is the brightest star in the Jam band universe these days?

All of the Phish crowd must follow someone around these days...

Has the torch been passed to Dave Matthews and Jack Johnson?

I'm a little out of my element here and disrespect (believe it or not) is not intended.

Just curious what the state of Jam music is in 2005.

developing...

Well, Widespread Panic still tour and draw decent crowds. I haven't liked the recent stuff by them, like from 1997 and on.

I can't stand Moe. One of the worst shows of my life was Moe at Lupos Heartbreak Hotel, in RI.

Disco Biscuits? Deep Banana Blackout? The Books?

Who was covering Phish in '94? That I would like to hear.

interesting.

david Grisman, Bruce Hornsby et. al are still around too, no?
