Like so many bands entering the 21st century who found that their in-concert appeal warranted a series of live releases to please the fans and beat the bootleggers (String Cheese Incident and Pearl Jam come to mind, but Zappa and the Dead got there first), Vermont`s favorite (please don`t call them a) jam band Phish entered the fray with a vengeance. Their live albums are multi-disc affairs with snazzy packaging and hours of sonic fun built in. Volumes 13-16 capture different years of the band`s famed Halloween concerts where, traditionally, they`ll throw in an extra set where they cover, sequentially and in its entirety, one of their favorite albums by another artist.
On LIVE PHISH VOL. 16, the lucky recipient of Halloween attention is the Velvet Underground`s famed LOADED album. The ironic nature of such tunes as "Lonesome Cowboy Bill," "Who Loves the Sun," and "I Found A Reason" makes them a natural for Phish, for whom the tongue has seldom strayed too far from the cheek. And who would have ever guessed that such a groovy neo-psychedelic jam could erupt from the ashes of the riff-rock standard "Sweet Jane?" Just in case you`re not down with the Lou Reed sound, though, there`s more than enough original Phish material surrounding this Velvet fog.
