Phish At The Roxy

A taste frOm the forthcoming Phish archival release At The Roxy (8-CD box set), recorded live Feb 19, 20, 21, 1993 Atlanta, GA:

The second concert of the run is one the most-collected live Phish bootlegs; however, this will be the first time they will be heard in true high fidelity. The recordings are drawn from soundman/luthier Paul Languedoc’s two-track soundboard reference DATs and mastered by regular Phish collaborator, Fred Kevorkian. One of the many highlights of At The Roxy is the second set of that show, which is highly celebrated for its extended suite of “Tweezer,” the James Gang’s “Walk Away,” “Mike’s Song,” the reggae song “Have Mercy,” Kiss’s “Rock and Roll All Nite” among other songs and improvisations. Several special guests join Phish onstage, including Jimmy Herring (Widespread Panic, the Allman Brothers Band, Aquarium Rescue Unit) during the second set of the first night and banjo player Jeff Mosier (Blueground Undergrass, Aquarium Rescue Unit, Leftover Salmon) for a bluegrass encore during the third show. This is Phish at their peak in terms of playful, anything-goes musical precociousness. This is the first complete multiple-show release since Hampton Comes Alive and the Island Tour of 1998.

MP3: Phish - Good Times Bad Times > Paul and Silas > Pig In A Pen
(live encore from At The Roxy - 1993/02/21 - w/ Jeff Mosier)

The box set drops November 18th. Pre-order At The Roxy at Phish Dry Goods.

Yarn

Yarn is in every sense a home-made band, that brings the great wide open to your door-step. Based in Brooklyn and fronted by main songwriter Blake Christiana their album Empty Pockets bridges the gap - if there is one - between bluegrass and more upbeat Americana. Christiana is best known from his electronic jam band Blake & The Family Dog. What started out as a side-project has blossomed into a real band, a quintet that is rooted in alternative country and old school country string band records.

Empty Pockets is filled with guest appearances. To name a few: Caitlin Cary adding vocals and fiddle to 5 Guitars, Edie Brickell on vocals for I'm Down, banjo virtuoso Tony Trischka and Casey Driessen on fiddle. You don't expect this kind of music to come out of NYC. but then again - it's a big city for with room for every kind of music on the planet.

Yarn:
Blake Christiana: vocals, guitar
Trevor MacArthur: vocals, guitar
Andrew Hendryx: mandolin
Rick Bugel: upright bass
Jay Frederick: drums, percussion
