Phish Covers
May 11th, 2007
Too many lousy movies, not enough rock’n roll: what this blog needs is more Freebird, more Bohemian Rhapsody, more Big Pimpin’ — as played by the popular rock band Phish.
Bohemian Rhapsody (with the Boston Community Choir)
Freebird (with Wynonna Judd)
While My Guitar Gently Weeps
99 Problems and Big Pimpin’ (with Jay-Z)
Some of Phish’s most ubiquitous covers are curiously absent from the ‘tube, but here’s the best of the rest: Mean Mr. Mustard - Wipeout - The Might Quinn - The Star-Spangled Banner - Also Sprach Zarathustra - Frankenstein - Sexual Healing - Born Under Punches - Champagne Supernova - Theme from the Peanuts - After Midnight - Peaches en Regalia - Good Times Bad Times - Auld Lang Syne - Jungle Boogie - Sabotage

Grace Potter, Southpaw

To quote some enthused drunkard from late last night, Grace Potter fucking brings it. We saw her twice yesterday, first in front of Grand Central, and later at Brooklyn’s Southpaw. As enjoyable as the afternoon set was, the bottom of a skyscraper canyon isn’t quite right for the 23-year-old Vermont singer–the guy in the suit next to me used the beautiful gospel-inflected a capella tune “Nothing but the Water” to bitch about his doorman. Southpaw, grungy but spacious, was much better suited to Grace Potter and the Nocturnals’ brand of nasty blues rock. I won’t belabor the obvious–just listen for yourself: Grace Potter oozes talent, and she deserves to be huge. The Wood Brothers opened.
