Today is the 19th anniversary of the OJ Groove. On this date in 1994, OJ Simpson led a cadre of cop cars across the 405. All three networks tuned in and 95 million people watched the former great running back cut across the highway.

But during this epic Mikes Groove, the boys have a little fun, particularly Fishman who starts with “Will he make it?” and continues with “Run, OJ, run” during the Mike’s jam. And it continues throughout Simple and Weekapaug. Also note, this is Simple’s second appearance. The band debuted the song about three weeks prior.

Enjoy.

Happy Fathers Day, from Dr. Jack McConnell.

About three years ago, former AV Club head writer Nathan Rabin set out to write a book about the diehard fans of Phish and Insane Clown Posse. “It was originally going to be this sort of dry, ethnological, sociological text,” he says. “It was going to be this wry, ironic outsider casting an amused, affectionate look at these strange people.” Read our Q&A with Rabin about the book, You Don’t Know Me But You Don’t Like Me: Phish, Insane Clown Posse and My Misadventures with Two of Music’s Most Maligned Tribes.

So … uh … this happened.

All hail one of the greatest Phish shows ever played (and one of the best recordings ever) 19 years ago today at Red Rocks. Stumbling onto this recording at gdlive.com when I was 14 changed my life.

The promoter of the Bangor show posted this happy little nugget today. Click to listen and download. The good people over at Hidden Track posted this a sample from Live Bait Vol. 9, which is spectacular.

I don’t know about you, but more live Phish in my life is exactly what I need right now.

Only 26 days til tour.

7.25.99 - Deer Creek:

This is a phenomenal show, especially the seamless and raging segue between My Left Toe and Whipping Post (last time it has been played), as well as an all-time version of BOAF. Give it a whirl.

Is Phish a Great Band?

joshsternberg — Tue, 04 Jun 2013 14:55:55 -0400

Is Phish a Great Band?:

The case for the jam icons, 30 years into their career.

“So now seems like as good a time as any to ask a simple yes-or-no question: Is Phish a great band? I understand this probably seems like a really dumb thing to ask. Lovers of Phish will say the answer is a self-evident “yes” — they may even find the inquiry patronizing and blatantly disrespectful to the band. Haters of Phish (because if you don’t love Phish you must hate Phish, as there is no middle ground) will say the answer is a self-evident “no” — they may even find the inquiry patronizing and blatantly disrespectful to themselves. And yet it’s a pertinent question all the same, because it’s tied directly to a larger issue about how we’ve come to define “greatness” in a musical context, and how this context has radically shifted. “

Trey Anastasio says Phish are working on a new album.

Interesting news emerging from The Phish this week, with the boys apparently working collaboratively on the next album — a concept that apparently involves all four writing music and lyrics together rather than bringing song frameworks to the studio.

New material this summer? Yes, please!

Hidden Track » Postcards From Page Side: Wishes for Phish’s 30th Anniversary:

On a better subject: SUMMER TERR IS COMING

The good people over at Hidden Track published this piece today listing some hopes, dreams and aspirations for how the band could celebrate its 30th anniversary. Some (SPOCKS MF BRAIN) are long over due while some (Gamehendge) seem pie and the sky — though I doubt any fan would be upset to see all of them come to fruition.

What say you, good people of FYPhish? What would you like to see this summer?
