  • S1E8. A Live One (Phish, 1995)- Part 2
    Nov 9 2020

    In the final episode of the first season, James and Dan conclude their look at Phish's 1995 'A Live One' with an in depth discussion about disc 2. They talk about the band's secret language with their audience, tackle the massive 'Tweezer' that takes up nearly half of the disc's run-time, and answer the question "Could this be the only Phish record you own?" Thank you all for a great season, we look forward to putting out the next one.

  • S1E7. A Live One (Phish, 1995)- Part 1
    Nov 2 2020

    We're wrapping up the season with two-parter on Phish's 1995 double CD 'A Live One', recorded from their 1994 summer and fall tour. James and Dan dive full into disc 1 on this episode, talking about what makes Phish not only a unique live band, but a unique live-album band. How do you even capture the phenomenon of one of THE live bands of our time on a CD, especially in the mid 90s, as the band was growing rapidly along with their devoted fanbase? Dan and James go deep on one of their favorite bands, with "minimal trivial diversions".

  • S1E6. Aretha Live at the Fillmore West (Aretha Franklin, 1971)
    Oct 12 2020

    There are more Aretha Franklin live records out there than most bands have in their entire catalogs. Why this one? James and Dan get wowed not only by the Queen of Soul's not-of-this-world vocals, but by the fiery performance from King Curtis and the Kingpins, backed the Memphis Horns. Whether it's her superior takes on a few classic hits of the day, her own hits, or Aretha's gospel-steeped crowd work, there's a lot to talk about on this record that doesn't even clock in at an hour.
