On the 20th anniversary of a memorable night at The Aud in Worcester, Mass. that signaled Phish’s rise to a new level of success the band has released an official recording of December 31, 1991 through LivePhish.com. Current LivePhish mix maestro Jon Altschiller recorded the show both through a soundboard patch and through an audience recording and has combined the tapes to create a matrix. Mastering guru Fred Kevorkian worked his magic on Altschiller’s files to create the best available recording of New Year’s ’91.
You can purchase FLACs, MP3s or ALACs at LivePhish.com. One of the many highlights from 12/31/91 was a raucous Tweezer that opened the door for the jam style that would develop the next spring. As a sample, here’s Tweezer > McGrupp and The Watchful Hosemasters from the LivePhish mix…
