Phish will release the sixth volume of their new Live
Phish series on October 30th. The series made its
debut last week and proved to be a hit with fans, as
all five double-CD volumes splashed onto the Top 200.
The sixth release will complete the first "Live Phish"
collection, and fits into a custom-designed case that
will house the series.
Tops in the series was a July 1994 show in the band's
home state of Vermont (Vol. 2), which debuted at
Number Ninety-three with sales of 13,658. The show
was also the earliest in the set, which included Vol.
1: Binghamtom, New York 12/14/95 (which debuted
at Number Ninety-seven), Vol. 3: Darien Center, New
York 9/14/00 (Number 118), Vol. 4: Fukuoka, Japan
6/14/00 (Number 127) and Vol. 5: East Troy,
Wisconsin 7/9/00 (Number 115). All five double
albums tallied sales of 10,000 or more.
Keyboardist Page McConnell has been overseeing
the series while the band remains on indefinite hiatus.
The current schedule will offer Phish fans a half dozen
of the two-disc sets twice a year, culled from the band's
archives which stretch back to its beginnings in the
mid-Eighties.
