Helping Friendly Podcast

The Helping Friendly Podcast (HFPod) explores the music and fan experience of Phish, through interviews and deep dives on shows and tours. Since 2013, we’ve aimed to bring the fan voice into discussions about Phish, and with the help of our guests, we’re still discovering new angles of appreciation for the band. And when the band is on tour, we provide a review of every show the following day with a fan who was there. As one of our listeners said, “this show has impeccable analysis, stats,

Helping Friendly Podcast ·

2015/08/12

This week we keep Summer Tour musical highlights rolling (per Diego's suggestion). This tour continues to create excitement, anticipation and lots of conversation. While I may argue that this leg of the tour focused more on song diversity and overall show flow, there are still some spectacular jams. Our forecast for the rest of the tour: Phish continues to kick ass. The tracks we're including are below.

This week we are keeping it very simple: highlights from each of the first 8 shows of Phish Summer 2015 tour, from Bend through Atlanta. We'll do the same for the rest of tour.

This week we're psyched to be recapping the Fare Thee Well shows from Chicago and Santa Clara. It's a really fun discussion with a lot of people who are vets of both Phish and the Grateful Dead: Scott (@TourTweet), Craig (@chillwig), Jonathan (@rowj) and Tanya (@fractalgal). We talk about this momentous, celebratory moment in Grateful Dead (and Phish) history, and play songs from both Chicago and Santa Clara.

This week it's Brad and Jonathan, with special guest and friend Kevin. This week we'll be talking about 2 of the greatest improvisational vehicles in Phish history: this episode features the 6.22.95 Tweezer. Both this and last week's Tweezer (6.14.95) feature epic, meandering, maddening, soupy, wild, funky, rocking songs. These Tweezers helped to define the improvisation of the band at a time of transition and exploration. If you haven't heard either of these, you'll be surprised, moved and probably

This week we are joined by our friend and guest host Jonathan, who brought us back to a wonderful show from 1989, from "Ian's House" (or "Ian's Party" at someone else's house). Either way, Ian was awesome. This show is historic, fun, and filled with really excellent playing. Trey's tone and precision in playing is just crisp, clear and on point, and as Jonathan pointed out, this is among the finest banter you'll ever hear in a Phish show. Very entertaining listen.
