Led Zeppelin World Tour Rumors

According to this article in the Mirror, "Led Zeppelin are set to reform for a world tour after their triumphant one-off reunion concert...Singer Robert Plant, 59, was originally opposed to the idea but has been talked round by bandmates Jimmy Page, 64, and John Paul Jones, 62."

Although Plant killed any reunion tour rumors months ago, I guess they will never really go away. While I hope that I get a chance to actually see Led fucking Zeppelin, I'm not buying it just yet. This article doesn't seem to have any source for the information other than Whitesnake's frontman David Coverdale, who claims he will be the opening act, and that he expects a call any day from Led Zeppelin to confirm dates. This strikes me as a little bit sketchy. Not only is this guy the 3rd or 4th person to claim that they will be the opening act for the most anticipated tour in history, but considering that Led Zeppelin could get anyone in the world to open up for them, why would they choose Whitesnake?

Summer Camp Schedule Released

The schedule for Summer Camp, which will take place Memorial Day weekend up in Chillicothe, IL, was just released.


I have to say that, although I love moe., I am especially psyched to see that Umphrey's McGee will have their own headlining slot on Friday night. I am also pleased with the fact that Tea Leaf Green is playing 16 times throughout the course of the weekend. The Summer Camp folks have also done a good job minimizing the amount of time fans will be subjected to the Flaming Lips and O.A.R. by placing them in between the headlining sets at another stage.

My only real complaint with the schedule is the poor placement of Lotus and STS9, which would be much more appropriate for the late night barn shows.

Jammy's Recap Videos

The 7th and final Jammy Awards took place on Wednesday night. In case you missed it, check out the highlights from Hidden Track or from Runaway Dinosaur.

I've gone ahead and collected the videos of Trey sitting in with the Fab Faux, Phish accepting their lifetime acheivement award, and the Headcount All-Stars' (Jake from Umphrey's Mcgee, Barber and Brownstein from the Disco Biscuits, Joe Russo, and Kyle Hollingsworth from the String Cheese Incident) Phish tribute.

Better video, worse audio of Trey "While My Guitar Gently Weeps"


Trey's acceptance speech


Mike, Fishman, Page, and Trey's acceptance speeches


Headcount All-Stars "Wilson"


Headcount All-Stars "Run Like an Antelope"


Headcount All-Stars "Maze"


Sidenote: the best part of these videos is that Brownstein is in full Bobblehead mode.

In other Phish-related news, Trey will play a solo acoustic set at the Newport Folk Festival this August.

Phishy Tuesday Links

Alright phanners I finally did it. I made it through the first year of law school.

Although I can't say for certain that I no longer regret going, I definitely regret going a lot less now that the first year is over. As an added bonus, now I have time to re-devote my efforts towards the things that really matter in life: mainly, Phish.

So without further delay...

Trey Anastasio will release "Original Boardwalk Style," which is a live recording of the 11-member Trey Band from 12/30 and 12/31/06 in Atlantic City. Many have referred to these shows as some of the best TAB to date.

Here's the track list:
1. Drifting
2. Plasma
3. Shine
4. Alive Again
5. Mud City
6. Simple Twist Up Dave
7. Tuesday
8. Money, Love and Change
9. Mr. Completely

Exclusive Digital Bonus Track
10. First Tube

I'm kind of disappointed that they only included 10 tracks as opposed to the entire performances. Especially because I remember watching some of the videos from last year thinking that these shows had to be pretty good.

Trey Anastasio Band - Makisupa Policeman - 12/31/06



Trey Anastasio Band - Peaches En Regalia - 12/31/06
