The Pharmer's Almanac: The Unofficial Guide to Phish, Vol. 6
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
This classic manual to the phenomenon that is Phish continues to grow and improve in this sixth edition, which contains an exhaustively thorough account of the musical group's 17-year career-from cult band whose loyal fans followed them from one college gymnasium to another, to the most phenomenal touring machine in music, grossing $39 million last year alone. The band now has two flavors of Ben and Jerry's ice cream bearing its name, members of the Grateful Dead and Little Feat covering its songs, such legends as Willie Nelson and Los Lobos participating in a Phish tribute album, and a feature film about the band, Bittersweet Hotel, in theaters across the country-all without a platinum album. Celebrating the band and an ever-growing fan base that encourages change and despises mainstream acceptance, this book features every song ever performed live and the stories behind it, setlists and reviews for every show since 1983, and a reader's survey. Also included are venues and set times, folklore, special guests, Phish-inspired bands, a hometown tour of Vermont, and interviews with Phish-related musicians, friends, and family. Intimate stories from the band and photos and stories from fans cap off this tribute to the offbeat band from Vermont.
