BY RAYA EID Statesmant Editor The October 28th release of Phish's new album Slip Stitch and Pass has caused a lot of excitement for the Phish community due to it's new and different sound. The album contains 78 minutes of previously unreleased songs, and new live versions of past favorites such as Wolfman's Brother, Weigh, Taste, and Lawn Boy. The remaining songs on the album are unreleased songs that Phish has been performing from as far back as 1984. These songs include Cities, Jesus Just Left Chicago, Mike's Song, Weekapaug Groove, and the infamous Phish version of Ragtime Gal, entitled Hello My Baby . Slip Stitch and Pass was recorded live in Hamburg, Germany back in March of '97. Unlike Phish's '95 Live album, which included songs from various shows, this album was recorded from one show, which from the sound of the album, was pretty amazing. I was able to retrieve a recent, informative interview by Parke Puterbough through the Internet regarding the mood of the band. The interview took Phish's lead vocalist, Trey Anastasio (left),and Mike Gordon, on bass, (right) in Trento, Italy. place at the time of the show that was recorded on Slip Stitch and Pass. Trey Anastasio, lead guitarist can be recognized in Mike's Song, the fifth song on quotes: The Doors, The Stones, Pink Floyd, ZZ Top, and vocalist of the band, stated that the album the album. Possibly the best and most surprising and Talking Heads." represents a more "funky, relaxed, and slow" Phish aspect of the song is after the first 10 minutes when Perhaps the only slight disappointment on the album sound. Trey also said that the band is "trying to the chord slows down and you recognize a familiar is the faint, unclear, a cappella version of Ragtime Gal, change musically," and their new album clearly Doors tune, The End., with a Phish twist. The band which is usually performed better live; however, the 9 reveals this change. After being a Phish fan for sounds amazing, and Trey's attempt to scream like minute intense Taste that proceeds Hello My Baby, approximately' six years now, and after hearing Jim Morrison sends chills and puts a smile on a (Ragtime Gal) makes up for it. practically all these songs performed live, I would Phish fan's face. The remainder of the song includes Next on Phish's agenda is their Fall tour, of course, have to agree to say that this album definitely a consistent, funky beat leading into Lawn Boy, as and a new album, which will hopefully be released in reflects a different kind of jamming which is slower, Trey repeatedly sings "And he walked on down the December. Phish is also planning on producing another funkier, and 'groovier'. There-is definitely more hall...." More lines from The End are also sung in live album in the future which will include songs that of an emphasis placed upon on the music of the band perhaps one of the best live performances of never made it on an album, such as NICU, Punrch You In in its entirety, and less guitar-solos that Phish Weekapaug Groove that I have ever heard. The Eve, AC/DC Bag, Possum, and Giu!lte. In the usually concentrates on. Perhaps the best This emphasis on quoting lines from The Doors, meantime, we can enjoy these unreleased songs on representation of this can be heard in the last 10 for example, only adds to Phish's new style. In the bootlegs, which are usually preferred by Phish fans minute jam of Wolfman's Brother . aforementioned Internet interview, Trey discusses anyway. Bass player, Mike Gordon, who was interviewed this new emphasis, and that it is derived from the For all you Phish fans, if you have not yet as well, -stated that "rather than a lot of noise blaring band's childhood. "We're these four suburban kids, purchased Slip Stitch and Pass, shame on you because and building things up to a peak, there's just a lot who grew up listening to Classic Rock stations...and it is definitely worth it, and the new, funky Phish of these funky grooves" on the new live album. here we are, you can hear it obviously in the album groove is a worthy change that contributes to their Approximately 14 minutes of these "funky grooves" because we're always throwing in those little style.
