for the third time in as many days, the doctor is in. happy 7th anniversary of the third of three amazing nights of phil and friends shows (with page and trey) at the warfield. this was world colliding - the blending of phish and gd as phil assembled john molo, steve kimock, page and trey for this once-in-a-lifetime stand of shows in san francisco. donna jean godchaux also joined the band this night as well as for some of 4/16 as they tore through songs from gd and phish catalogs as well as songs by steve kimock, dylan, pink floyd and others. tickets were extremely difficult to get for these shows despite the fact that nobody had a clue how it would turn out. we were not disappointed. a powerful convergence took place, progressing over the course of these three nights. the resulting musical and emotional highs surpassed everyone's expectations live and on tape. all three of these shows (from a dozen sources!) and most if not all phil shows are available for free streaming or download in a dizzying array of formats at archive.org. for the 24-track rough mixes i played on livephish radio, try the following links: 4/15/99, 4/16/99 and 4/17/99.

tune in to livephish radio where we'll be streaming live for the next few hours or more, celebrating the magic of 4/17/99 and beyond, starting officially at 4:17 (though a minor tech glitch caused a slightly early launch today). that was the only glitch, so i'm grateful. the text feature is working correctly today so we're defintely improving the interface. it's all a work in progress, but i'm glad to be able to share these occasions with you, however they turn out.

i'll update the list as we go so you can follow along as i craft the show in real time. this live impromptu "from the archives" on livephish radio started around 3:30p EST with the following tracks:

phil and friends actually started about 4:10p and ended about 7p, when we dove into more phish cuts from the archives. today's "from the archives" livephish radio special ended about 9:20p EST. i can't think of a better way to spend an afternoon, so hopefully we can do it again soon. i'll add some details and links later. thanks again for listening and for your feedback and support. this 3-day marathon was a smashing success as a tribute to phil and a great leap without-a-net into another exciting way to share our love for the band and to stay connected. Enjoy!
