Phish Saves America: Contest details and booty, newsy tidbits, Twitter feed

Posted by Leilani Polk on Mon, Feb 23, 2009 at 6:29 PM

For those who've cast your votes in the Phish contest I announced in my last posting -- Thank You! I have made note of your answers and filed your e-mail addresses away so that I can contact you by that means if you happen to win. If you used a fake email address, please make sure to contact me with a correct e-mail and your submission. My email is leilani@creativeloafing.com.

Now, onto the fun part: the prize. Since I received such an enthusiastic response to the contest, I contacted the fine folks at Phish Inc./JEMP Records to see if they could provide some actual Phish schwag to go into the prize pack. The folks were eager to oblige and are sending me a fatty package of several LivePhish CDs that were put out over the past few years, among them, one of my faves, the legendary 12-7-97 Dayton, Ohio Nutter Center show, the NYE 12-29-97 and 12-30-07 shows at Madison Square Garden, the UCF Arena 11-14-95 show in Orlando, and the 8-13-93 Indianapolis Murat Theater show. Also in the prize pack is the new Brian Wilson DVD, That Lucky Old Sun, a book, Under Their Thumb (about one man's adventures with the Rolling Stones), a print of the "Phish Saves America" Mt. Phishmore logo (see below, logo art by Phil Bardi), and a few other yet-to-be-announced goodies.

For those who missed the last post about the contest, the rules are relatively simple. Whoever guesses all (or a combination of the most) of my setlist questions about the Phish Reunion shows right, wins the above aforementioned prize package. Here are the questions:

1. What Phish will open with the first night of Hampton (Friday, March 6).

2. What three songs will definitely be played at some point that first night back (in no particular order).

3. What will Phish encore with the last night of Hampton (Sunday, March 8).

For those who haven't yet entered, feel free to leave your answers in the comments section of this post. The winner will be revealed post-shows, with the prizes to be sent by mail. (Unless you live in the Tampa Bay area, in which case you can swing by my office and pick them up.)

Other random Phishness:

Trey is scheduled to join the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra May 21 for a performance that includes Time Turns Elastic, a work scored for vocals, electric guitar and orchestra co-wrote by Trey and Don Hart. The program is also set to include Trey works as well as some arrangements of songs from the Phish repertoire.

Keith Forman of Jambands offers a rather well-thought-out projection (with charts!) of all the reasons why Phish will come back guns firing. I agree with him on all counts and have even argued many of the same points to my friends when defending the band.

Here's another take, also from Jambands, from a fan who got locked out of all the shows.

And finally, yet another Jambands article, this one a guide for pholks heading up to Hampton.

Coventry Phish Blog hipped me to a pretty cool little Hidden Track four-part series that follows the movements of the members of Phish from when they departed Coventry through the present. Pretty cool stuff. (From the series and pictured at right: Mike Gordon in the studio)

On the Hampton note, I've managed to secure press tickets for the Sunday night Hampton reunion show, so I will definitely be reporting back here about that. As for tickets for Friday and Saturday night's shows, I'm still desperately seeking one ticket for each night. If you know someone who's got an extra and won't price gouge me too bad, have them shoot me an e-mail here.

If you'd want to join my Twitter feed -- which will include live updates from the Phish Hampton shows -- my Twitter account name is Leilani79.

Now, some more video, the last big of Clifford Ball DVD Set footage I'll show before it comes out next week on March 3. I promised this "It's Ice" video in my first post, and while it's now heavily circulated, I'm sharing just in case you just so happened to miss it.

Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends.' Says it all and Hampton is a cover tune factory. Plus Page can go nuts for a while right off the bat.

I really like the fresh perpective you did on the issue. Really was not expecting that when I started off studying. Your concepts were easy to understand that I wondered why I never looked at it before. Glad to know that there’s an individual out there that definitely understands what he’s discussing. Great job
