Coventry To Hampton: Mike Gordon

Welcome to Coventry To Hampton, a five part series filling you in on the four members of Phish and what they’ve been up to these past five years or so. We’re starting with Mike and we’ll do one on each of the other three band members and cap it off on Friday with a summary of what the Phish organization has been up to. These will publish at 3pm every day this week.

Part Two = Coventry To Hampton – Page McConnell
Part Three = Coventry To Hampton – Trey Anastasio
Part Four = Coventry To Hampton – Jon Fishman

Mike’s first show after Coventry was just a few weeks later at moe.down 5 in Turin, NY, where he first performed a full show with the Benevento/Russo Duo. This trio would perform their first string of shows later that year for a New Year’s Run in 2004. It was fitting that Mike, the only member of the band who voiced his disagreement with the bands decision to break up, brought a number of Phish originals to the stage the first night of the run including Lengthwise (Fishman), Foam (Anastasio) , Mike’s Song (Gordon) & Cars, Trucks Buses (McConnell).

Portugal. The Man – Wasilla’s Censored Colors

Saying you’re from Wasilla, Alaska these days is like painting a giant bulls-eye across your face – you’re going to get stuff flying at you from every direction. For Portugal.
