This week we have a unique episode. We brought our friend Harvey on, who hosts the podcast Bluest Tape , also on the Osiris network.

We run through these shows and get Harvey's feedback and thoughts on Phish. We also talk about his Widespread Panic history and how that overlaps with his Phish experience. BIG CY...

Welcome back! This week we're starting a new feature, called Back Tracking, looking back at each Phish album. These album review episodes will be mixed in with our regular episodes. We hope you enjoy it. "Phish", aka "The White Tape," is of course the first "album," which was self-produced and recorded in 1986. We walk through the songs one-by-one, and talk about some of the gems on this one. We definitely had this tape when it was circulating back in the day, and it was fun to revisit. Of cours...
