The Daily Soundcheck

The incredible Lemonwheel soundcheck! Two unreal jams, some great blues tunes and great banter. "Jam>Ginseng Sullivan>Back at the Chicken Shack>Jam>She Caught the Katy and Left Me a Mule to Ride>Dog Log>Down Home Dirty Blues>I Gave My Love a Cherry>Please Send Me Someone to Love". THOSE JAMS!

In Episode 64 I am joined by Scott Bernstein of @yemblog and @jambase as he recalls this awesome show. We talk about his start and history of @yemblog and what makes this show and soundcheck so special. The intro is from "2001", the soundcheck is "If You Need a Fool" and "Shafty". The bonus track is the encore and debut of "Sabotage".

Episode 63 kicks off the Summer 98 tour with the outstanding "The Way I Feel" soundcheck jam. This baby brings the dance. Also included is the "Horn->Jam" and the bonkers "Tweezer->California Love->Tweezer->Free". Let's get down! The intro is from the show opening "Wolfman's Brother"

The lone soundcheck from Europe 1998 is from the first night of Barcelona. If you like laid back grooves this episode is for you. The soundcheck is a 16 minute jam that is centered around "Meat". Grooving to the max with incredible sound quality. The intro is from the "Ghost" Jam and our bonus track is a "Bathtub Gin" that sounds like a "Ghost" jam. Hit play and groove.

Episode 61 covers the Island Tour!!!! All soundcheck here with "Funky Bitch>Jam" and "Birds of a Feather" from Nassau and "Providence Soundcheck Jam", "Shafty", and "Roggae" from Providence. This soundcheck is one of the greats from top to bottom and you don't want to miss the 15 minute "Shafty"!

MY FIRST SHOW!!! Hear some stories about me being an idiot, stuff about Rochester and what I feel about everything all these years later. Soundcheck is a "jam" based around the graduation song theme. Also included is the 20 minute 2 hole "Down With Disease" masterpiece.

Hampton Winson-Salem 97! Two great soundcheck from the awesome box set. We have the "Hampton 97 Soundcheck Jam" and "Back at the Chicken Shack" from Winston-Salem. We jam, we bring the blues and we finish with the beastly "Halley's Comet" from the second night of Hampton. Monster show.

Episode 58 comes the day before of one of Phish's most famous shows. 11/16/97 is a pretty cool show in its own right and the soundcheck is a fun "Saw It Again". Included in the intro is the rocking "Izabella" and we feature the killer "Timber->Simple" to open the second set.

Episode 57 features two soundchecks released in the Ventura Box Set. One from 07/30/1997 and the other from 07/20/1998, Both Soundchecks are jams and the 98 soundcheck is something special. Included is a SMOKING Bathtub Gin from 98.

A short soundcheck coming from "From The Archives Vol. 12" gives us a nice run through of "Limb by Limb". The real star of this show is one of the most epic storms to every hit a Phish show and you can hear it all during "Taste". Also included is a killer "Mike's Song>Simple->I am Hydrogen>Weekapaug Groove".

Episode 55 brings you into the world of Phish Soundcheck karaoke limbo. This soundcheck is an all time moment. Crazy songs, and full audience karaoke with a full on limbo contest going down. "Samson Variation>Olivia's Pool, Beauty of My Dreams, You Shook Me All Night Long, MMMBop, Another One Bites the Dust, And It Stoned Me, Only Shallow, The Banana Boat Song (Day-O)". Get ready for a wild time.

We are back to Europe 1997 and a rare one set free Phish show! This show is about as unknown as it gets from this time period and we get a great soundcheck from it. "Funky Bitch" is a type I 14 minute Funk throwdown that you won't want to miss. The soundcheck closes with a great version of "Ginseng Sullivan". The bonus track is "Twist" that has a full "Groove Is is in the Heart" jam that crushes.

Welcome Back!!! Twitter user @JustListeningAh found a soundcheck we missed so back to 1992! The soundcheck is "Shaggy Dog" and "Blues Jam" and is of excellent quality. This show is filled with gems and I play a great "Esther" a famous "Harry Hood" and a hilarious encore for you.

When I started The Daily Soundcheck I was excited to bring some of the great soundchecks to the masses. This baby is certainly one of them. Mike plays his Quantum Modulus 5 string for the first time in this show (featured on "Slip, Stich, and Pass") and it leads to the soundcheck "Attack on the Bass". This 7 min free form jam is ass kicking and hilarious. It is everything Phish. Included is the legendary "Wolfman's Brother" which goes deep for the first time.

The last soundcheck from 1996 is from the famous Vegas 96 show. We are treated to "Dog Log" but it is really the "Dog Log" lyrics over top of the music of "Funky Bitch". It creates a cool mashup. Included is a great exploratory "Simple" that takes place in the middle of a great "Mike's Groove".
