IT Tower Jam

The IT Tower Jam! The IT Festival closed out the summer 2003 tour in fine fashion up in Limestone, ME. Following the tradition of the extra set during their festivals (Clifford Ball had the Flatbed Jam, Great Went had the DJ Set, Lemonwheel had the Ring of Fire Ambient Jam) Phish may have outdone themselves with this one. Ascending to the top of the air traffic control tower, they played an almost hour long instrumental jam- their 4th set of the day! The tower was lit up by the lighting master himself- Chris Kuroda and there were dancers hanging by wires along the sides of the tower. Here's the whole thing- in 7 parts- just click each part along the bottom to move along to the next one after you're done with each. I spent waaaay too much time (unsuccessfully) trying to find a way to get it to autoplay all 7 in a row so if anyone knows a way- email or comment PLEASE!

Phish & Neil Young: Down By the River 10-3-98

This 19 minute clip is from Farm Aid 1998 at the World Music Theater in Tinley Park, IL outside of Chicago. The show was broadcast live on CMT. Halfway through Phish's set, they were joined by the one and only Neil Young for a few songs including Neil's Down by the River. You'll notice that Neil is playing a guitar similar to Trey's; in fact it's Trey's backup Languedoc guitar. You may also notice the epic ripping duel between the two. Young was sufficiently impressed with Phish that they would later go on to play at his Bridge School Benefit and decline his offer to be his backup band for his 1999 tour.
