On September 3, 2018, a rancher in Laredo, Texas, discovered a woman’s body shot execution-style on the side of the road. When investigators identified her as a local sex worker, their search for the killer took them into the darkest corners of the city. Then, after days of false starts and dead-ends, another body turned up, terrifying residents and leading law enforcement to conclude a serial killer is at large. More would die before a survivor finally came forward and identified the killer… but his motives proved as confounding as his crimes.
Whether serving as April Fool’s trolls or “Christmas” collaborators, Phish’s affinity for communication and connection resonates on stage and beyond. This bonus episode offers additional insights and anecdotes drawn from the 90 interviews conducted for season one of Long May They Run.
Season one concludes with an examination of the Phish legacy, both on and offstage, featuring intimate insights from all four band members.
Phish came of age in Burlington, Vermont in the mid-1980s within a particular cultural and political environment. To what extent did this setting imprint on the group? How is the Green Mountain State entwined within the Phish DNA? What is the power of place?
Before digital streaming services allowed music listeners to explore and discover new genres, Phish acted as a curator for its fans. Routinely covering songs at live shows and even entire albums on Halloween, the band has taken pleasure in introducing audiences to its vast spectrum of musical influences.
Going all the way back to Phish’s early days, the band’s visual aesthetic has been entwined with its musical mindset. The group has embraced a collaborative, DIY approach to fashioning its logo, stage design, concert posters and even performance art.
Spontaneity is essential to Phish. However, advance planning is required before the band can explore the musical depths. The same holds true for other aspects of the Phish experience in which proper preparation gives way to inspired improvisation.
There was a time when Phish fans had to record and trade physical cassette tapes in order to relive a show, or hear it for the first time. They relied entirely on that network until the band and its fans pioneered a more efficient way to communicate and share music using a new network called… the Internet.
