Phish To Open Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame Induction Ceremony Tonight
Fuse.tv’s website confirms that Phish will be opening the ceremony tonight with a “few” covers of Genesis classics. As you may remember, Trey Anastasio was announced as the presenter for Genesis, and apparently the entire band will be joining him for perhaps a taste of what Phish would have done with Lambs Lie Down on Broadway had they covered it on Halloween.
The ceremony, being held at NYC’s Waldorf Astoria, marks the band’s first return to the stage since their fun filled New Year’s run in Miami. Rumors are also strong that summer tour dates will be coming this week, following the end of both Mike and Trey’s solo tours.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony begins live at 8:30 PM EDT on Fuse.

Phish playing “Destiny Unbound” at the Elk’s Lodge-Telluride, Colorado on Oct. 27, 1991.
She started the ignition and without permission
The two of ‘em flew down the dusty road
But the road wasn’t finished and the pavement diminished
They soared off the edge and they plunged in the sludge
Here’s to Phish in Telluride!

Phish at the Movies in 3D!!!!
This is going to be sweet! Not too keen on the fact that they likened Phish using this to Hannah Montanta but what can you do. Since I didn’t personally make it to Ocho, this’ll be a great way to see some footage of the event. Click the title of this post for the story.

Today is a particularly special Phish Friday. A year ago today Phish returned at Hampton in one of the most incredibly joyous and moving weekends in their 26 year history. It was an all-day event with many of us getting in line in the early afternoon, drinking beers and catching up with old friends, making new ones, and soaking in the incredible energy surrounding it all. So here’s a few Hamptonversary photos for all of you. We’ve had our band back for a year now!!

Mike & The Meatstick
In honor of the Mike Gordon contest here on The Butter Room, I have decided to share my favorite Mike story. The show started with Soul Shakedown Party and we knew it’d be a fun night. Back in Vegas 04 it was setbreak and we were just waiting for the phish to come back and melt our faces. I was sitting with another Butter Room resident, Matt, and we were talking to a guy from Colorado I believe. We brought up how fun it would be if they opened set 2 with The Meatstick. So we decided we should start doing the meatstick dance. We were seated on the floor, about 5 rows back in the middle, but more towards Mike’s side.
We got a small group up and started doing it, then a section just above the walkway to the stage on Mike’s side started to do it, then many other people at the Thomas & Mack started to do it. It was the dance craze that swept vegas that phine night. Phish came out on stage, and I don’t know how he knew, but he looked right at us on the floor doing the dance, and he gave us a nod, then they started to get phunky.
Much to our delight, later that evening, Trey, Mike & the crowd had a Meatstick reprise within a wonderful YEM, by doing the meatstick dance while Fishman was soloing. Mike then took it away with a slick solo.
The blurrycam shot I have above is the only shot I have of Mike doing The Meatstick that night, and I hate to make it sound like we’re taking all the credit for the song that night, but hey, from where I was standing we started it, I’ll always think of it as our meatstick, an awesome time in Vegas where I first met Matt, and I know that Mike was one of the biggest reasons we were there.

Bathtub Gin - Phish
8.13.93 - Murat Theater, Indianapolis, INI’ve noticed we haven’t been giving 1993 much love, but it may be the most technically precise year of Phish. This Gin is not only a glowing example of why 1993 was so amazing, but shows off the improvisational bliss that has been featured year after year in this jam vehicle! Listen for the Weekapaug teases at about 8:20 and the totally synced eargasm Trey and Mike bring at 11:45 before slowing it down! This one goes up there with the likes of Real Gin (12.29.95) and Went Gin (8.17.97) as an all-time great.

Sample In A Jar - Phish
8.17.96 - The Clifford Ball, Plattsburgh, NYHow about a little reflection on this Phish Friday? This video is from one of the highest points in Phishtory, a period that may never be matched - at least not in the same vein - again. But if you’re a Phish fan, take a moment today to reflect on the past year.
A year ago we didn’t know what to expect, we didn’t know if they could even make it back. Hampton had yet to unite the fanbase in person once more, the band hadn’t played a summer tour since their farewell in 2004, and the thought of a festival still made most of us cringe. And yet now we’ve all been able to share in a fun summer tour, a festival in the desert surrounding Halloween, a scorching fall tour, and a New Year’s run that seemed to tie it all together while pointing to the future. It finally feels like they have their legs under them again, playing with a renewed confidence and new identity that could only come from perseverance and their own shared experiences.
And while to the world at large - and even huge live music fans - it’s hard to pinpoint why we could care so much, but if 2009 proved anything, it’s that Phish is still a unifying tour de force with the most amazing and unique community of people surrounding the music.
Over the next couple months both Mike and Trey will tour around with their own projects, perhaps with more enthusiasm surrounding them than prior to Phish’s return. New songs will be written, chops will be honed even further (Trey is certainly killing it early on his solo tour), and in a few months as the weather warms and the collective itch returns -presumably early June if you believe the rumblings - the band will come together to hold celebrations all across the country. You just have to feel lucky!

What is The Butter Room?
The Butter Room was built to spread and discuss live music. The contributors of this site all volunteer their time to provide the content. We do this as a labor of love. Our name, The Butter Room, references an small, low-lit room in a Virginia Tech Fraternity with nothing but a few benches and tables. You go there to get away from all distractions and have a conversation, which is what we want to foster here: a place where you can get away from all the distractions of life to enjoy and discuss live music.
