Episode 18: The Island Tour

Listen to Episode 18 [audio http://typeiicast.files.wordpress.com/2011/04/episode-18.mp3]

The beginning of April conjures up thoughts of the Island Tour for many Phish fans so we thought the band's revered four-night stand that took place from April 2 - 5, 1998 was the perfect topic for Episode 18 of Type II Cast.

For this week's show Sam, Justin, Steve and Scotty discuss the many factors that made this group of performances special. We talk about the patience the group displayed, how Phish was building on the '97 funk, the new material debuted on the run and many more topics. The episode includes nine clips to help illustrate our points.  If you don't already own the official recordings of the Island Tour, which sound fantastic,  head over to LivePhish.com to buy them with the added bonus of supporting the Mockingbird Foundation.

Thanks for listening.
