Phish.net Blog: Split Open and Melt!?Posted 1 day ago by Adam Scheinberg - Link: http://blog.phish.net/post/1048423496/split-open-and-melt
My wife Jennifer, who, by comparison, is not a very big Phish fan, gave me the green light to go to Atlantic City for Halloween this year. She asked me recently, “What do you want to hear them play?” Now, I’ve been chasing Camel Walk for some time, but before I even could process it, I reflexively responded “I could really go for a nice, meaty Split Open and Melt.” What?! Split Open and Melt!? Where did that come from?...

Song History: SimplePosted 2 days ago by Elayne Best, Chris Glushko - Link: http://phi.sh/s/508
"Simple" was first written and recorded by Mike Gordon in a
four-track medium in the Doo-Wop style and introduced to the band during
the studio sessions for Hoist. This version
reflected the country and bluegrass writing style of many previous Gordon
compositions. The song was left off of the album and the band
showed hesitation in performing it live.

Song History: Middle of the RoadPosted 2 days ago by Elayne Best - Link: http://phi.sh/s/377
There are infinite reasons to be elated about the reunion of Phish. One of these reasons is being able to see some of the solo project material adapted by the band. It took seven years for "Middle of the Road" to find itself into Phish's rotation, and it holds promise to be a great new addition. With Mike leading the vocals, and Page tickling the ivories, the twangy "Middle of the Road" has a renewed energy and the harmonious chorus is ridiculously catchy. Two versions have been performed thus far by Phish, the debut on 8/8/09, and a more polished follow up at the Hartford show on 8/14/09. "Middle of the Road" was also a staple on Mike and Leo Kottke's 2002 tour in support of Clone, and representative versions can be found from their performances on 11/5/02, 11/10/02 and 11/15/02. ...

Maybe because I don’t write a lot of songs for the band it really takes writing a lot to be confident about having a couple that sound good. Trey writes 10 songs for every one that he uses. If the band doesn’t decide to keep working on a song, from the other three [members], then it’s not always likely that I’m going to say “Can we work on my song?” Unless I’m just so into it that I feel confident it will be good. Otherwise I’m just not really into the promotional side.

Song History: Seven BelowPosted 5 days ago by Craig DeLucia, lumpblockclod - Link: http://phi.sh/s/499
It's rare that Phish songs debut on New Year’s Eve. The first post-hiatus show on 12/31/02 was bound to be an exception, though, as Phish was sure to begin to integrate material from the then-recently released Round Room into the live concert rotation. “Seven Below” charged out of the gates in the third set, not only as a debut, but as the musical and visual centerpiece of the New Year’s spectacle. Given that the only other song to make its debut following the traditional performance of "Auld Lang Syne" on New Year's Eve was the jam segment of "Down With Disease," it seemed clear that the band had big plans for "Seven Below."...
Song History: McGrupp and the Watchful HosemastersPosted 5 days ago by lumpblockclod, Mark Toscano - Link: http://phi.sh/s/365
The lyrics for this song are derived from a Tom Marshall poem that remains more or less unchanged from its original form. Tom had sent Trey an envelope containing only this poem some time during Trey’s fall 1985 semester at Goddard College. Trey was intrigued by the poem and affixed it to his door, where he left it undisturbed for a year or so. The poem occasionally made its way into the live Phish show around this time, though primarily in a spoken-word context. In early 1986 “McGrupp” usurped the music that originally accompanied “Skippy the Wondermouse” when that tune was retired from the band’s repertoire. 1986 and 1987 versions of “McGrupp” sound almost as they do today, although the lyrics were chanted disturbingly and the piano solo section didn’t exist just yet. But there were other, larger plans for this song brewing in Trey’s head....

Song History: Walk AwayPosted 1 week ago by Ellis Godard - Link: http://phi.sh/s/646
Like Phish, Joe Walsh's original material includes a wealth of both frivolity and rock. Solidly in the latter category, "Walk Away" was the sole single from Walsh's last album with The James Gang and the band's only Top 40 hit. It emphatically addresses tension and departure – in its music, lyrics, and history, as well as in the timing of Phish's performances of it....
