I saw the debut performance of this at the Ryman, not a bad piece of music. It is very mellow though.
I've listened to it twice now... very good. The vocals start rough, but end up pretty strong. The lyrics are bullshit, but the song is a composed monster. Most people seem to think it's much better than the orchestral version. This one is just the boys. At 13 minutes, this bodes well for the new album.

What a killer centennial show, man!!!!! Welcome, and crunchies to you! It's gonna be epic man, just epic.....
That crossed my mind as well. I also think there is a good chance that there is going to be some hip-hoppy Phish, just judging from the initial lineup video which opened with Tweezer, and then some pretty cool rap fading into it form there (no idea who it was)
So, I'm obviously not the only thinking the ticket email with the 3D instructions is all but a confirmation of 3D Phish...
just posted this thought in the ticket thread. it took me a few hours to make a connection. i was telling my girlfriend "yea they released how the tickets look......it's prettycool....they made it 3D this year" and then it hit me - could this have something to do with the phish 3d rumors?
The only 3D Phish rumors I heard were here, so I'm not sure of the validity . I definitely didn't put the 2 together though. I'll believe it when I get my 3d glasses in the schedule book.

Yeah I started it here, and heard it under somewhat sketchy circumstances myself. The guy did call Hampton and 'roo though last September.
I don't think I'd go as far as you did on PT "if you don't like this you don't like Phish"...but I like the song after hearing it a few times and I'm about 100% sure I'll see it at Fenway and about 105% sure that if I do see it live I'll think its awesome.
My point there was basically that the underlying musical compositions in TTE are so instrumental as to who and what Phish is, to not like this is to not like what Phish has been about since their inception.

I'm sure the answer is in this thread or somewhere around here, but where exactly does someone start if they're new to Phish? I'm sure it's blasphemy to even ask this question, but I really hope the response is, "oh! I'm excited that you're interested in Phish and I'd love to help" and not "Psh, no Phish for you". =p
"oh! I'm excited that you're interested in Phish and I'd love to help"
Of course most of us would like to help, since you asked!
A great start would be to go pick up Junta (if you can find it). Personally, I got into Phish in '94 when Hoist came out, and I find that to be a very noobie-friendly album (rather short songs, pretty accessible). I have spent the last two months really bringing my wife up to speed and I gave her those two albums to listen to, plus Rift to listen to along with a mix disk of a few epic live tracks.
Junta is their first release... it's a double disk, and has a lot of their really epic stuff on it (You Enjoy Myself, Divided Sky, David Bowie, Possum)
Rift is a concept album where a guy gets into a big fight with his significant other and then falls asleep, and the album covers everything from the fight through all the crazy dreams he has in the evening, and then he wakes back up in the morning with a sense of calm.
Hoist is just a cool album... has some backing vocals, some horns, and is very newbie-friendly. Down With Disease comes off this album.
I'd also try to find live recordings of a couple select Tunes, notably: - Harry Hood - Run Like An Antelope - Punch You In The Eye - Wilson
My advice to you is this.... listen to those 3 albums and get a feel or at least some familiarity with the material, but do not pass any judgment at all until at least halfway through Friday night's late night set... if you don't fall in love with them by that time, then they may just not be for you. That's my two cents... hope it helps, friend.
PS - I am *SO* very jealous of you, in that you are going to your first show. My first show was a life-changing experience for me... no BS.

Rift is one of my favorites, but it is a little dense, and not real representative of their body of work. Since you are so close to your first show, you should look around for "A Picture Of Nectar" The album is all over the place, but is really worth a listen. The hard part about this is that my real recommendation is listen to as much as you can of the studio stuff, but I would not check out their live stuff until you have already seen them.
I would suggest the same thing I do for most bands when people are just checking them out for the first time. Watch them on DVD. You will get a much better feeling for the songs. It will be live but will hold your attention (since you dont know the songs yet).
