In the latest episode of Weekapod Groove, Rob and Craig discuss the first ten shows of Phish's 2016 Summer Tour (including a special look at Philly, which was Craig's first show). From the unexpectedly tight opening show through the highlights so far to some questionable choices, it's all here. Enjoy!
Join us for a very special (and maybe even controversial) episode as Craig meets up with Sean Zloch in Illinois/Pods & Sods Studio West for a look at the catalog of Electric Light Orchestra. Joining them remotely is Ryan McKay from Shabby Road Record Show, and as usual with these album by album episodes they will rate and review all of the albums included in the time range (with a bit of discussion about the albums falling outside of this timeline).
Pods & Sods listeners may have heard the name Tomfoolery. A few years back, Craig Smith traded in his keyboard for a bandana and a podcasting mic, but before that he spent a few years as a member of Tomfoolery, a Bucks County band that gigged around PA/NJ/NY for several years in the early-to-mid 90s. Before giving up on the music scene, Craig put some work in assembling (and performing on) an album that is very near and dear to his heart - 1999's Prisoner Of The Mind. Joining Craig for the first time in many years is Tomfoolery vocalist and composer Ed Ludwig and drummer Fran Rapposelli for a track by track look at an album that is most important to them all. Hopefully musicians and fans of music in general can enjoy this look, seventeen years on, at not only the album but stories about the relationships that you form when spending years in a band with others - so please join us as we have a few drinks and wax nostalgic about our glory years.
You're invited to Eric and Craig's little soiree as they discuss Fleetwood Mac's 1987 LP Tango In The Night, complete with a look at the b-sides, the departure of Lindsey Buckingham and the tour that followed.
In the latest episode of Weekapod Groove, Rob and Craig discuss 2013's Wingsuit set, 2014's Fuego LP and the importance of the long playing record in the world of Phish. Stick around for a review of the first night of the summer tour in what we hope is an ongoing segment!
