Phish: Live Phish 7/6/98 Lucerna Theatre, Prague, Czech Republic

Live Phish 7/6/98 Lucerna Theatre, Prague, Czech Republic

Another show from the Phish vault sees the light of day.

Next Tuesday (3/25/08) JEMP Records will be releasing another of Phish's classic shows, 7/6/98 from the Lucerna Theatre in Prague, Czech Republic. In keeping with recent livephish.com releases this show has been mastered by Fred Kevorkian from Paul Languedoc's 2-track soundboard reference DATs. To save space, along with renting most of their gear while flying from city to city on the 1998 European tour, the shows were not recorded to multi-track.

This release will be available in both of our normal digital download formats, MP3 and FLAC, as well as on CD (packaged in an innovative and earth friendly, fully recycled folding softcase-pak) . This release will not yet be available in stores but you can pick it up from both Phish Dry Goods (www.drygoods.phish.com) and the LivePhish Download Store (www.livephish.com). Dry Goods and LivePhish.com will have bundle packages available, so you can save on both hard goods and downloads.

July 6, 1998 is the second of two shows Phish played at the Lucerna Theatre, an old theater turned into a music club located a few flights below street level in the Nove Mesto section of Prague. This show entwines music from the album "The Story of The Ghost" with Phish classics in a non-stop, hard-rocking performance elevated by its unique location and intimate setting. The intimacy of this show can not be overestimated - the average size of the venues Phish was playing at in the United States at the time were easily 20-30 times larger.

Counting Crows: Saturday Nights & Sunday Mornings

Counting Crows

It took the Counting Crows five years to come up with a new album. Saturday Nights & Sunday Mornings is a continuation of their previous output, with more ballads a la Aerosmith and power pop from the R.E.M. school of alternative rock. Singer Adam Duritz still uses his own personal life as a major source for his songwriting, so there is quite a lot about booze and loss. He is not taking this lying down in songs like Sundays and Anyone But You. Best track by far: On A Tuesday In Amsterdam Long Ago which is just a piano and Duritz begging his girl to get back to him. The album ends with Come Around, a song that has written "in concert encore favorite" written all over it.

Counting Crows: Saturday Nights & Sunday Mornings

Saturday Nights & Sunday Mornings is released on Geffen Records. Release date: March 25th.

Tracks:
  1. 1492
  2. Hanging Tree
  3. Los Angeles
  4. Sundays
  5. Insignificant
  6. Cowboys
  7. Washington Square
  8. On Almost Any Sunday Morning
  9. When I Dream Of Michelangelo

Jewmongous: Taller Than Jesus

Jewmongous - Taller Than Jesus

Does humor belong in music? Hell yeah! Sean Altman's Jewmongous pokes fun at, well, everything, including Lennon's quip about The Beatles being bigger than Jesus.

If you don't think songs like My Pact with Satan (including a sidestep to Paradise by the Dashboard Light) are funny, you are reading the wrong blog:

I got Robert Johnson's biography
Got Rosemary's Baby on DVD
I saw Domingo sing Faust back in '83
So please Lucifer, take me over your knee
(...)
"What's it gonna be Satan?
Come on....I can wait all night
What's it gonna be, Satan, yes or no?
What's it gonna be, Satan, yes or ......?"

Taller Than Jesus ends with a great Klezmer take on I Wanna Be Sedated.

Tracks:
  1. What The Hell Is Simchas Torah?
  2. Today I Am A Man
  3. Be My Little Shabbos Goy
  4. Christian Baby Blood
  5. Jews For Jesus
  6. Blow, Murray, Blow!
  7. Long Tongue Shloime
  8. Another Inch
  9. They Tried To Kill Us (We Survived, Let's Eat)
  10. Taller Than Jesus
  11. My Pact With Satan
  12. Just Too Jew For You
  13. I Wanna Be Sedated

Taller Than Jesus is released on Chow Fun Records. Release date: April 20th (Passover). Buy it from CD Baby.
