I think they showed quick clips of it under the narrative. There was also something that I think was an outtake of some sort, with these 9 year old kids talking about their religious acid experiences.

Here's that clip: http://youtube.com/watch?v=_V4K7FepKw4

Best live band of the last 20 years (hands down).

Hands down? Whatever. You need to be on Phish board, jokerhead. Sonic Youth slays them like nobody's business. The Jesus Lizard, Camper Van Beethoven, the actual Talking Heads & many others are better live as well.
I never saw Talking Heads live in the flesh, just on video & on bootlegs & they were great.

You mentioned some of their happenin' covers & I like their taste in music & their live shows were fun, & certainly nobody's doubting that they can run circles around the tritonic, but I saw Phish more times that most people & I saw them for $3 when they jumped on mini-trampolines all the time. By the time I stopped seeing them when they came through Athens (which they did so much you would have thought they were a local band) they were charging $6.
I distinctly remembering listening to them outside when they were up to charging $10.
I have fond memories of over at a dealer's place who lived adjacent to Widepread Panic's practice space & we would make fun of them & listen to something like Sonic Youth, Ween, Stereolab or Mudhoney & blast it loud enough that we couldn't hear those creepy fucks.

Yup. The band started a tradition on Halloween '94 of playing a "musical costume" during the second set of a three set show to celebrate the holiday.

The first and second year, they took votes from the fans. Both years "Joe's Garage" by Frank Zappa won by landslides. However, in Frank's will, he stipulated that he requested that two of the songs on that album were to never be played live again. In deference to that request, Phish played The Beatles "The White Album" in a four and a half hour concert at Glens Falls, NY that let out at about 2 am.

The next year in Chicago they played The Who's "Quadrophenia"

In 1996, I saw them play "Remain in Light" in Atlanta.

In 1998, they played The Velvet Underground's "Loaded" in Las Vegas (the last halloween show).

The show after the Las Vegas show in Utah (11/2/98), Phish decided that they didn't play enough covers the previous show, and played Pink Floyd's "Darkside of the Moon" in its entirety during the second set.

Man, I miss Phish.

They never really "slayed" in my opinion until 1994 when they made the transition to Arenas. Before then they were just a damn good bar band. Hands down the best band I've seen live, and I've seen SY live quite a few times. SY has never even remotely gotten to the level live that Phish has.

Of course, it might be because I've seen Phish play ambient noise at 3 in the morning from the top of an unused Air Traffic Control tower while contortionists and acrobats were spinning around it....and I've seen phish play from midnight until sunrise straight.

And, they never stopped jumping on trampolines. At their last show, they gave away their current set of tramps away to the crowd.

Heh. If Trey (phish's guitarist) would have been there, he would have loved it.

Ween, Stereolab, Mudhoney and Sonic Youth are among his favorite bands.

I said the last 20 years, and the Talking Heads were no longer playing live together in 1986.

Trey A. was also fond of saying in the 90's that Steve Malkmus was his favorite guitarist.

And David Byrne gave Trey props on their rendition of the Talking Heads (apparantly he was at the 1996 show) and said that they did a better job on it than the Heads ever could have (including playing the three songs from the album the Talking Heads never attempted to play live), and saying that he was in awe the entire time.

Widespread Panic sucks monkey balls.

Yeah, I did the math wrong on Talking Heads. I was thinking that I did but you quoted me before I could go back & change that hehe.
Like I wrote before, I like Phish's taste in music.
They also do some good to great truly post-modern lyrics writing & the live shows were fun.

Talking Heads struggled to pull off what they did musically. At most shows they were hunched over their instruments instensely concentrating, because they are artists first, ultimately.
Early on, Talking Heads surrounded themselves with great musicians to take on the road with them & they learned sooo much during that time. Being true artists, they of course naturally soak up everything like a sponge with a wellspring of passionate enthusiasm.

Phish sucks. It's a band for washed up hippies.

Yeah, I just don't like the shit they get. I can understand the shit the Grateful Dead gets (even tho I think they are awesome) because their lyrics are Hippy Dippy (imo).

When people call Phish hippy dippy, I find they don't really know much about the band. Especially people who love Frank Zappa and the Talking Heads. If Frank Zappa and the heads got together and had a child, they'd sound a lot like Phish.
