HT Giveaway: Phish Coral Sky Packages
As we first reported, the latest archival release from Phish comes in the form of Coral Sky – a 2-DVD set recorded on November 2, 1996 in West Palm Beach, FL which is due out on October 19th via JEMP Records. You can pre-order Coral Sky through Dry Goods and the digital audio from this uncut performance will be available at LivePhish.com.
On that fateful night at the Coral Sky Ampitheatre the band was joined by two special guests. Santana percussionist Karl Perazzo sat in for the whole show adding a rhythmic layer that helped the band explore new jamspaces, while Allman Brothers Band drummer Butch Trucks guested on the Funky Bitch encore. Perazzo’s interaction with the quartet could be our favorite part of the Coral Sky clips that have surfaced thus far.

I would have to say 10/3/99 when Sugar Blue and Son Seals came out for the encore. Sugar was blowin’ that harp so hard during his “Messin’ with the Kid” that his hat flew off of his head. And the Funky Bitch that followed….unreal!
Stephen Wright. Enough Said.
7/25/92 YEM with santana.
Watching Warren Haynes walking around behind the stage at set-break on 12/11/1995 and then having him come out and rip it up on While My Guitar & Funky Bitch.
I’d have to say Jay Z on 6/18/04. It was unexpected, fun, and weird; 3 of my favorite qualities in a Phish show. Being in Brooklyn, The End looming in all of our minds, and Jay Z himself being “retired” made for a memorable night.
6/17/95 w/ LeRoi Moore
My favorite guest appearance was Summer tour opener 6.22.00 in Anitoch, TN.
The second half of the second set was like an Arrested Development concert. There were like 12 people on stage with a full ensemble. Robbie McCoury on banjo, Ronnie McCoury on mandolin and Sam Bush on fiddle, Del McCoury on guitar, Ricky Skaggs on mandolin, Mike Bub on upright double-bass, and Jason Carter on fiddle. Free Bird featured Wynonna Judd on lead vocals and was played with full instrumentation, as opposed to the usual a cappella arrangement.
What a way to finish up the a tour opener in Music City, USA.
It’s all about the filler. I wasn’t there, and I only heard it as filler on something else I’ve forgotten, but 5-5-93′s You Enjoy Myself with Aquarium Rescue Unit is my favorite sit-in ever, if only because it had me completely spellbound, and remains my favorite YEM ever! It happened every so often back in the days of tape trading. Hell, I first heard the Crosseyed>Antelope from Coral Sky as filler. This one was unique because it wasn’t marked-down on the tape from the trader, but I immediately knew it was ARU on stage with Phish–and I never knew it had ever happened. I was an ARU fan for about two years before I knew about Phish. The thought of ARU colliding with Phish for that epic YEM brings a tear to the eye!
Ben and Jerry at Clifford Ball. Those guys nailed it!
My personal favourite is the Phil Lesh sit-in at Shoreline 99. Yes!!
Son Seals doing his own “funky bitch” at Oswego…maybe my favorite phish moment of all time
I loved the Phil Lesh and Warren Haynes sit in at Shoreline 9.17.99. Phil took one bounce on the trampoline and bailed. It was awesome! YEM>Bass Jam, Wolfman’s, Cold Rain and Snow all w/ Phil. Encore: Viola Lee w/ Warren and Phil. What a show!
Son Seals. Camp Oswego
Stephen Wright on the triangle, 12/30/96, Fleet Center, Boston, MA
Definitely the run I saw with Perazzo in 96. I was present for the Atlanta(Remain in Light), West Palm and Gainseville shows. What a run! Loved it. Crosseyed>Antelope!
