Phish Break Tradition at Oak Mountain as Summer Tour Winds to a Close (jambands.com)

As Phish nears the end of its 2014 summer tour, the band took an opportunity last night at the penultimate show to break a few traditions established throughout this run. There would be no “Fuego,” as they had in every city before this and the band would dip into their repertoire of covers. The two-set show would also have an old school feel to it as only four songs came from Joy and Fuego, combined.

On the turntable this Sunday...Widespread Panic

Widespread Panic is the self-titled, second studio album by the Athens, Georgia-based band Widespread Panic. It was first released by Capricorn Records and Warner Bros. Records on July 30, 1991. It was re-released in 2001 by Zomba Music Group. The album will be issued on vinyl for the first time ever on July 29, 2014.  The vinyl-only reissue will be distributed via ThinkIndie distribution and sold only at participating independent record stores. 

The band had originally recorded material in September 1990 at producer/collaborator/friend John Keane's studio in Athens, Georgia. This session, called Mom's Kitchen, featured the majority of the songs that would eventually be recorded for Widespread Panic, along with other tracks like "A of D", "Impossible", "Machine", "Liza's Apartment (L.A.)", "Conrad", "Contentment Blues", and "Holden Oversoul", of which the latter two were included on the reissues of Space Wrangler (1988). Mom's Kitchen, however, was never released because the band signed a six album deal with Capricorn Records in January 1991.

Recording of the album proper took place at Emerald Sound Studios (Nashville, Tennessee), Kiva Studios (Memphis, Tennessee), and Duck Tape Music Studio (Decatur, Alabama). The album features T Lavitz on keyboards and was produced by Johnny Sandlin.

The band played the album in its entirety at the Charter One Pavilion in Chicago on September 2, 2009.
