Hi everybody and welcome to today's episode of Attendance Bias. I am your host, Brian Weinstein. Today's guest–Derek Hill–picked an outstanding show from an underappreciated year: August 14, 2009 at the Meadows Music Center in Hartford, CT. Long-time listeners of Attendance Bias may remember that I recorded a mini-episode about the version of “Icculus” from this show, which was played right in the heart of the 2nd set. And that leads to just one of several themes that come up during today's show: the idea that Phish was back during their summer 2009 tour, but were they all back? Derek and I happened to see several shows throughout this tour, separately, yet we had many of the same thoughts. It was extremely fun to catch up on a summer tour from 14 years ago with a complete stranger.But that's the thing about this podcast: when the guest is passionate about his or her choice, we are not complete strangers! Derek took his time to pick this Hartford show and once we began talking, it was very obvious that he made the best choice possible. There were times where it felt like this could have been a three-hour episode, just about that Icculus…not to mention many other bustouts and killer jams.But enough from me; let's join Derek to talk about the IT festival, selling quesadillas on lot, and second chances as we discuss August 14, 2009 at the Meadows Music Center in Hartford.
Today we go to Columbus for the amazing 6/22/94 show, with a person who not only was there, but who describes it as one of the two most important days of his life (aside from his birth). Scott Gray enlightens us on this life-changing experience, and some insight into why Trey was talking about tall people during Icculus. We also get into the merits of jam length, the top 5 shows of all time, and a lot more. It's a fun ride.

Hi everybody, and Welcome to mini-episode #8 of Attendance Bias. Today’s mini-episode features “46 Days” from August 7, 2010 at the Greek Theater in Berkeley, California. Before we get going today, it should be noted that, impressive as the “46 Days” from this run is, today’s episode is more about my admiration for the Greek Theater than it is about the jam. This three-night run was the only time I’ve been there, and it made a lasting impression. In 2009, my girlfriend at the time and I lucked out and won Phish tickets by mail for all four shows at the Red Rocks Amphitheater in Colorado. Aside from my journeys to It and Coventry, that was the farthest I’d traveled to see Phish up to that point. Not only was it fun to go on an adventure for four shows, but the majesty and natural beauty of Red Rocks provided such a stunning backdrop that the music was almost beside the point (although parts of the run were excellent).When 2010 came around, my girlfriend began working on her teaching degree and we decided to plan a summer vacation. Neither of us had been to San Francisco before, so we decided to spend a week there. We did a ton of research on hotels, flights, tours, scheduling, etc. and figured that the first week of August would be best. As it happened, Phish announced their summer tour about two weeks after we booked our trip and wouldn’t you know it—there were kicking off the 2nd half of the tour at the legendary Greek Theater in Berkeley, just a short BART ride from downtown San Francisco. The ticket gods were with us again, as we got tickets for all three shows from the lotto. We extended our trip by a day and eagerly awaited August.We arrived in SF and hit all the tourist stuff: Pier 39, the Golden Gate Bridge, Sonoma and Napa, Haight-Ashbury, 710 Ashbury, a Giants/Dodgers game, Union Square, Chinatown (where I had the most delicious salt-and-pepper chicken wings ever), and of course: In-N-Out burger. After a week of galavanting around the city and taking in much of what it had to offer, it was time for us to travel over the bay to Berkeley. Having never visited NorCal before, I was stunned at how the 60-degree August afternoons in San Francisco would shoot up to high 80s in Berkeley, just 12 miles northeast of the city.Arriving at the venue was an absolute joy. Berkeley reminds me of Manhattan’s Greenwich Village; a small community with lots of independent businesses and a sense of permissiveness. UC Berkeley is the epitome of a “College Campus.” Very green grass and column-supported academic-type lecture halls everywhere. When most of us picture “college,” it’s the archetype that probably pops into our heads.The Greek was/is an entirely GA venue. It’s obviously great because you can end up anywhere you want without restrictions. On the other hand, if you’re not in line early in the day of the show, you’re stuck up on the lawn or toward the back of the floor. We arrived at the venue with about two hours before the doors opened, so we got in line and made friends with everyone around us.Although I was at Red Rocks the previous year, these were my first true West Coast shows, and the differences struck me immediately: First, there was far less drinking. I don’t know if it was because the show was on a college campus, but I didn’t see anyone walking past the line with an overflowing red cup or bottle. Even the couple ahead of us who brought a bottle of wine were eager to split it with as many people as possible, as opposed to drinking it between the two of them.People were generally friendlier and more laid back than on the east coast. Not tha
Goose, the band, has blown up. Moneyries talks with Peter Anspach about their rapid growth, why Phish fans are particularly enamored, and what the future holds. Plus, Icculus takes your calls.
A 10%er brew reviewed!
Sex The Animal, providers of the new Pint opening radio theme come on the show to talk music and much more. Beam And Icculus laugh along with Jon and John as we discuss Richard Marx hairdos, throwing up through screen doors, songs named after Greek pastries and tons more. A bonus to this bonus radio episode is three tracks off of their debut album, best described as organic electro space jazz from the inside of an ant's mind's eye. You know, that category. Listen In!
