Videos: Phish @ MSG Video Playlists

Scott Bernstein December 6, 2009 5 Comments

Missed last week’s Phish shows at MSG or just want to relive the action once again? You’re in luck as a YouTube user by the name of HarpuaFSB has uploaded some of the highest quality fan-shot video footage to the site as we’ve seen. The folks at YEMblog saved us some time and effort by organizing the clips into three separate playlists – one for each show.

Night One (12/2):

HT Review: Phish Find Themselves a City (In the Central Part of Town) – MSG2

Ryan Dembinsky December 4, 2009 6 Comments

Since it’s Friday and everybody is probably a little sleepy, we’re gonna go with an easy to read quick-hitter format for our review of MSG Night 2, as opposed to the meandering narrative.

To start at the beginning is to start at the end: When the band emerged for the first set, Trey tinkered around with a few discernible notes of Character Zero before launching into Punch You In The Eye. Hence, this served as a bit of foreshadowing as Character Zero bookended the show so-to-speak returning for an encore.

Last night for the first time, it really felt like the setlist did not matter in the least. Granted, the show was packed with heavy hitters, but every single song felt like it had the potential to ascend to the outer reaches of the Red Planet.

Furthermore, that early 3.0 feeling of standing on pins and needles during any technically challenging composed pieces for fear of a flub, is gone. At this point, the band once again feels like they are able to effortlessly cruise though the hardest of material and even start getting crafty therein. I felt like the band executed the first set near perfectly the second set came pretty close, save for one minor blip in Fluffhead.

At The Barbecue: Favorite Concert Of ’09

Hidden Track Staff December 4, 2009 15 Comments

It’s been a few months since the HT Crew got together for an old fashioned cookout. With the cold weather creeping in and the holiday season upon us we thought we’d get the gang together one last time this year to throw some large hunks of meat on the grill and crack open a few Troeg’s Mad Elf Ale’s for another rousing edition of At The Barbecue.

It’s hard to believe that 2009 is rapidly coming to a close. Since we’re all live music junkies here, we thought we would share our thoughts on our favorite concerts from the last 12 months. The rules were simple: any show that we attended between January 1 through the beginning of this month were game. So, let’s get at it…

Ryan Dembinsky – Phish – Hampton Coliseum – Hampton, VA

Talk about a no-brainer. Much love goes out to Hartford, Camden, JB3, an intimate surprise Avett Brothers release party in front of maybe 100 people, and a whole slew of great bands I saw for the first time this year, but March 6, 2009 will be branded on my brain forever.

From the beautiful weather, to taking a much needed road trip away from adulthood, to the friends, to the smothered and covered, to of course the music, Hampton Coliseum pretty much made my year. READ ON for more of the Hidden Track Crew’s favorite concerts of 2009…

F4tF: Back Home Again, Foods of My Youth

Jon Hochstat December 4, 2009 7 Comments

Hey everyone. I know it seems like I fell off the face of the earth. I am back now and hope to post as often as possible. I’ve decided to make my comeback posting a story about places I grew up eating in when I lived in West Orange, NJ as a kid.

Many of you have seen my posts extolling the virtues of both The Millburn Deli and Town Hall Deli sloppy joes. Recently I received a single picture from my old West Orange neighbor with a two word question with the picture: Guess where?

Although I drew a blank on the name, I replied without hesitation “The bakery at the bottom of the hill on Main Street in West Orange.” He responded “the bakery, you mean THE bakery, Supreme!”

HT Interview: Trampled By Turtles

Ryan Dembinsky December 3, 2009 2 Comments

Legend has it, one of the perks of writing for a blog is that you can speak in the fan’s voice. Well, today I’m taking that liberty to hide the objectivity under my Unabomber hoodie for a chat with a band that has rapidly grown into a personal favorite, Trampled By Turtles.

tbt_MG_9123

Behind the muscle of the its most recent pair of albums, the latter a nod to their hometown in Duluth and its precursor Trouble, Trampled By Turtles chipped out a niche for their band as modern string bellwether. With the their terrapin stampede ambushing listeners on songs like Ceiling Slide, The Darkness and the Light, Empire, Stranger, and Valley, they push the boundaries of acoustic music by incorporating diverse elements such as high energy bluegrass (“punkgrass” if you must), thoughtful narrative country, distinctive vocals, and squirrely chemistry.

With a massive Western US tour afoot and what sounds like it may be their best album yet coming in April, it looks like a good time to get these guys on the radar screen. Today, we catch up with guitarist and lead vocalist Dave Simonett to learn more about TxT.

Hidden Track: For starters, I wanted to say I was bummed to miss your last New York City show; ended up stuck at work late. I recall seeing that you were doing a panel discussion about the current state of bluegrass before the show. Could you share some of your thoughts on that topic here?

Dave Simonett: Actually, that didn’t end up happening. I do think bluegrass – and I use that term loosely here – is in an interesting place right now. There are a lot of people taking that old instrumentation and style and doing some innovative stuff with it. I feel like there are two camps here: the traditional bluegrass crowd, which tries to preserve the traditional catalog, etc. – sometimes to the point of musical militancy; and second, a group of musicians borrowing the style to create their own original music. This music is so easily accessible nowadays with the internet that even five guys as far away from Appalachia as Minnesota can get into it. READ ON for more…
