Phish: Monday YouTube Fix
Andrew Hitz
Many of you know that I am rather fond of the band Phish. In fact, this week will mark my 172nd and 173rd shows when I see them in Portsmouth, VA. They are my favorite chamber ensemble for reasons I could articulate for a few thousand words. But you're in luck: I won't! Instead, here's a clip from earlier this summer in Chicago. This song, The Wedge, has been performed over 70 times and every version but two have been about five minutes long. This one took a random turn and ended up featuring a fantastic section of improv that was completely unexpected. This is exactly what I love about Phish.
Enjoy!
