Phish Hampton Setlist & Review – Night Two

Hidden Track Staff March 7, 2009 7 Comments

While we’re waiting for Dave Vann’s photo gallery from last night’s show, I figured I’d add some thoughts about the second mammoth show of the run. While I really enjoyed the first show, I felt something missing: the dirty, funky improv. Last night we got a heaping helping of tasty jams, during which the band seemed more focused on what each other was playing. Any questions I had about the return of Phish were answered more clearly by show number two. All felt right in the world.

Phish – 2009-03-07, Hampton Coliseum – Hampton, VA

Nearly everything about last night was more relaxed than on Friday. The energy at that first show was nervousness mixed with excitement. The Coliseum staff got all the attendees into the building with ease as compared to Friday’s shit show at doors. Everyone had gotten the lay of the land the night before and were better prepared for another long show.

Interview: Superfly’s Jonathan Mayers, Pt. 1

Hidden Track Staff March 4, 2009 5 Comments

In 2002 the Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival kicked off their inaugural edition with a lineup filled with the biggest names in the jamband world. Over the past seven years the ‘Roo has blossomed into arguably the best festival in the country thanks to diverse lineups, fan-first thinking and a comfortable setting where both artists and attendees feel at home.

While most music fans have their sights set on this year’s installment of Bonnaroo on June 11-14 in Manchester, TN – Superfly Presents president Jonathan Mayers already has his set on who he’s going to bring to the middle of the Volunteer State next year.

The extremely engaging and wry-witted Mayers recently took some time to speak with Hidden Track about his start in the industry, the fest’s booking process, their vast vault of performances, year two of Outside Lands, the future of Vegoose and much more in interview with Jeffrey Greenblatt and Scott Bernstein. With so much ground to cover we’ve split the interview into a special two-parter, so make sure to check back next Wednesday for the rest of the interview. In the meantime here’s part one…

Hidden Track: Can you tell us about your background, how did you get into the music industry?

Jonathan Mayers: Well I started in the adult entertainment business, I was… no that’s not true. Well, I went to school in New Orleans and I was always passionate about music, but I was also an entrepreneur and had all kinds of different businesses and stuff. So I went to school there and really got entrenched in the whole music scene down there and got inspired by it and then also, I had interned at the Jazz Fest when I was a senior in college. The New Orleans Jazz Fest is one of the best festivals in the world, it’s an amazing festival, and so I interned there.

Nedstalgia: Remembering The Clifford Ball

Neddy March 3, 2009 7 Comments

We wanted to celebrate the release of 7-DVD Clifford Ball set today with a remembrance of that weekend from our pal Neddy…

“Beautiful man… I don’t know how you do it…”

The Clifford Ball. It was the end and the beginning. It was, yeah, just a couple Phish shows, but it was also the rift between two eras. For me and the band. In my mind there are some distinct periods in the history of the band which I described in my blog here. The Ball was a distinct shift where Phish went from being a band that was big enough to tour with their own grand piano and fill arenas to a band that was big enough to put on a massive festival on their own and compel tens of thousands of people to schlep to remote locations. This was the birth of “big Phish.”

It was also a distinct shift for me. The summer had officially started with my graduation from college in May. When the summer ended I would be in graduate school. It was a real life bar mitzvah moment: time to become an adult. The woman I love(d) would go from being a girlfriend to being the person I lived with. But before all that, there was the summer. Phish announced their dates in the spring – a pretty minor stretch of shows, 11 in total, all in the middle of August, starting out west and working their way toward the big bash at an Air Force base in Plattsburgh. The highlights were a you-crazy? 4-night run at Red Rocks and something they were calling The Clifford Ball, which, to hear the Phish literature describe it, was just about as much fun as you could have in upstate New York.
