Preview: A Taste of Phish – Walnut Creek
We’ve got a little over a month until Phish’s Walnut Creek 2-DVD set hits stores on August 5, but once again the folks at Phish Inc. sent us over a little sneak preview. One of the unique things about 7/22/1997 was the intense thunderstorm that clobbered the venue during the show. Here’s the Taste from Walnut Creek complete with lightning strikes and thunderclaps:

I have always loved Trey’s tone and solo in Taste, and this one does not disappoint. Thanks so much for sharing. Definitely going to order the DVD and bonus disc.

A LETTER FROM PAGE 06.26.08
Given the volume of speculation and rumors that have bubbled up recently, I have been asked to make a statement…Here goes.
For me, the last four years have been great. I’ve spent quality time with my family and have watched my daughter grow. I took great pleasure and pride in writing and recording an album. I’m living a healthy lifestyle. I travel as little as possible and I sleep in my own bed. It took a couple of years after the break up to begin talking to my old band mates, but once the conversations began to flow it wasn’t long before the friendships were rekindled. And I can honestly say that I’m closer with all of them now then I’ve ever been in our 20-year relationship.
Recently the conversations have turned toward the possibility of spending some time together. Currently many of us have plans and projects already in the works, most notably Mike, who made a great album and is about to hit the road in support of it. Given that I might not even see some of the guys for the next six months, I would say that the announcement of a reunion is premature. However, later this year we hope to spend some time together and take a look at what possible futures we might enjoy. In fact the only real decision that has been made is that when we do get together, it will only be the four of us, hopefully with no distractions. I am really looking forward to that.
I want to say just a few more things. The prospect of Phish reuniting is something I consider very seriously, and I think about it a lot. And lastly, as always, there is plenty of misinformation floating around. Try not to focus too much on secondhand sources and random gossip. If there is anything real to announce, it will come from the four of us as a group.
Until then,
Page

I was at this show and it’s a miracle no one was electrocuted. This recording is excellent, but the tape I have has a lot more thunder on it and they were cranking it up in response. Damndest thing I ever saw, a band jamming WITH a thunderstorm.

This show happend to be my first Phish show. What an amazing experience. As the song progressed so did the rain. By the peak of the song the thunder storm was right over the venue. Lightning seemed to hit inside the venue at least 4 times. What made it even more magical was Phish played right along with the storm, almost controling it with the music.
This was one night in my life that I will never forget. Now I will have the opportunity to see how close the lightning actually came to frying us all.
