Episode 002: Hampton Bag




Beyond The Pond show

Summary: Welcome back to Beyond The Pond! Hosted by Brian Brinkman and David Goldstein, our goal is to use the music of Phish to introduce you, the listener, to a diverse assortment of music. Through the medium of great Phish jams, we’re going to dive into music history, draw parallels with a wide range of genres, and discuss some of our favorite bands & albums. We hope you dig it! Our second episode focuses on the 11/21/1997 AC/DC Bag from Hampton Coliseum. This is the first version of AC/DC Bag to ever leave its musical structure and improvise. It's also a great example of Phish's - and especially Trey Anastasio's - experimentation with the Shoegaze Genre. Songs selected for this episode are: My Bloody Valentine: "Only Shallow," Ride: "Leave Them All Behind," Galaxie 500: "Don't Let Our Youth Go To Waste," Animal Collective: "In The Flowers," and Miles Davis: "In A Silent Way." In addition, we discuss two new 2017 records we highly recommend: Craig Finn "We All Want The Same Thing," and Pallbearer "Heartless."
