As the phenomenal success of the jam titans’ new online download service at livephish.com proves, bands don’t necessarily need record labels anymore.
Phish launched the Website with heavy fanfare on the eve of their highly anticipated New Year’s concert last December, which saw the quartet regroup after a two-year-plus hiatus.
Livephish.com allows band aficionados to download Phish shows within two days of the concert getting three-plus hours of sound-board-based music for the price of a CD–$9.95 for the MP3 format and $12.95 for the higher-fidelity FLAC files.
Phish–which has long kept an open-taping policy, allowing concertgoers to record shows for non-commercial trading among fans–now has made available clean digital concerts of all this year’s shows, incudling the heralded New Year’s stands and frontman Trey Anastasio (news)’s solo performances from the spring.
Just posted on the site are all the sets from Phish’s summer tour-ending It festival, which drew more than 70,000 people last weekend to a remote Air Force base in Loring, Maine. In addition to the actual shows, Live Phish is offering for free a copy of the group’s sound check and a late-night jam session atop an air traffic control tower.
