Phish On the Line December 23, 2002 - United Press International By John Swenson Phish fans who can't wait to hear the New Year's Eve reunion shows got good news this week when it was announced the "Live Phish" album release series will now be available via the Internet on a "Live Phish Downloads" site. Based at livephish.com, the site will allow fans to purchase and download entire Phish concerts. The shows will be made available on MP3 and Shorten digital music files, a compressed .wav file with a higher audio quality than MP3s. Recordings of the band's New Year's upcoming reunion concerts -- Dec. 31 in New York and Jan 2-4, 2003, in Hampton, Va., -- will be the first available through the program. Files are expected to be available at the site within 48 hours of each show. The group plans to release new and archived concerts via the service throughout 2003, including shows from the group's sold-out February tour. Prices for a full concert will vary from $9.95 to $14.95 for MP3 files and $12.95 to $18.95 for Shorten files. An Oct. 7, 2000, concert recorded at Shoreline Amphitheater in Mountain View, Calif., currently is available for free download as an introductory offer. Phish's latest studio album, "Round Room" (Elektra), debuted at No. 26 on The Billboard 200.
