It was a surprise five-song-set throwdown at Boise State University... Sun, 10/21/2012 - 7:00pm \| Radha September 14, 1999 was the date, and this was a total sleeper show. Nobody expected the band to lay down such a thick and musically rich second set, comprised of only five songs. Zappa's Peaches En Regalia opened, followed by one of the longest AC/DC bags to date. AC/DC slides into Gumbo, followed by Down With Disease into Frankenstein. The first set (which opens the show) was also spectacularly fun and easy to listen to, perfect for a new phan just warming up her listening skills... Enjoy!

Yup, it's a weird one...September 14, 2000 at Darien Lake, NY Sun, 10/14/2012 - 7:00pm \| Radha My phriend Matt described this show as "Xanax-y", and I wonder if that's a compliment or complaint? True, the sound rolled along spacey and strangely - but isn't that part of the phun? And the Reba, ah the Reba....it's simply marvelous, even without the whistling. Enjoy!

Happy birthday, Helping Phriendly Hour! Sun, 10/07/2012 - 7:00pm \| Radha In honor of this program's one-year anniversary, tonight we play the only birthday show your Helping Phriendly radio hostess ever went to: Nov. 14, 1998, at The Crown in Cincinnati, Ohio. There are no special guests or surprise bust-outs--but it's a great listen from beginning to end. Set One is a pot set to boil, heating up song by song. And Mr. Fishman's vacuum solo in Sexual Healing during Set Two is one of his sweetest... Here is the setlist: Set I: Funky Bitch, My Soul, Reba, Bouncin', Tweezer > Moma Dance > Sparkle > Character Zero Set II: Bowie, Something, Piper, Golgi Apparatus, Guyute, Hold Your Head Up > Sexual Healing > Hold Your Head Up, YEM, Julius, Hello My Baby Read more about Happy birthday, Helping Phriendly Hour!

Harry! Harry! Where do you go when the lights go out... Sun, 09/23/2012 - 7:00pm \| Radha Harry Hood to OPEN?? Where is this night going! You can feel good--I can feel good--good about Hood ... and everything that comes after. I promise, you will not be disappointed by this excellent show from Dec. 11, 1999 at the Philly Spectrum in Philadelphia. The second set is just as good as the first, with a slow and silky Ghost jam transitioning into 2001 with the most exquisitely excruciating patience. All in all, it's a very danceable couple of hours ... enjoy! Read more about Harry! Harry! Where do you go when the lights go out... 1 comment Add new comment

How about we listen to Phish? Best of Show, 2012... Sun, 09/09/2012 - 7:00pm \| Radha Just because I was there does not mean I can't be impartial when I say that this was absolutely the best triad of shows this year. The sweet and gnarly sounds of Phish ricocheting from hallowed wall to hallowed wall at our beloved Bill Graham Civic Center? Um, let me think about that for a minute ... Oh yes, a tremendously good time was had by all present in person and at home on couch tour. Tonight, we play August 17th, otherwise known as Totally Debaucherous Night One. Have a great show!
