Just before Phish reunited after their second extended break, Mike Gordon spent the summer making quite a statement. Thanks to The Green Sparrow – one of the best albums ever released by a member of Phish – and an extremely well received Summer Tour with his fabulous quintet, we know that Cactus is playing, writing and improvising better than ever before.
With each passing show, Mike’s band became more comfortable stretching out the songs from the album and adding new covers and tunes from Gordon’s other projects to the mix. On August 29 at the sold out Fox in Boulder the Mike band delivered a top notch performance that they’ve quickly made available for purchase. You can purchase the live soundboard recording, 2-CD set of Mike in Boulder packaged in an innovative and earth friendly (fully recycled) folding softcase digi-pak at Phish Dry Goods. For instant gratification head to LivePhish to download the FLACs or MP3s.
For the latest installment of Everybody Wins When I Plug Something And In Return They Offer Me Free Shit To Give Away, we’ve got ten copies of the 2-CD package to give away. Here’s your chance to hear the quintet’s take on Weekly Time from the Billy Breathes Sessions, Brian Eno’s No One Receiving and a blistering version of The Green Sparrow’s Traveled Too Far plus much much more.
