Stanley Maxwell - No Good Reason - Live at the Positronic Design Roots'ellar

Stanley Maxwell is the (largely) undiscovered Progressive Rock wonder of Connecticut. This is a song that they wrote, "No Good Reason", and performed at the annual Positronic Design, The SEO Company, "Spring Into Summer" Party (the next one is coming up soon, so if you can get invited, Go).

They played a great set, and there's more of it on Positronic.TV that you can listen to, including a very funky version of Phish's "You Enjoy Myself", (I dare anyone to click the link on the left if they don't think Phish is a Progressive Rock band, listen to the song, and then, if they still have that opinion, leave a comment as to why, but I digress...) and a similarly Jazzy version of Led Zeppelin's "The Ocean".

Check it out...

Phish - Seven Below / Ghost - Albany 11/29/09 - Amazing Jamming

Quite possibly the best 48 minutes of music I've ever heard at a concert.

Totally psychedelic, rip-it-to-shreds, operatic progressive rock jamming.











Enjoy!

Trey Anastasio - Genesis Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Speech

Wow, I'm floored. I always thought of Phish as a lot more like Genesis than anyone else I've ever met, so when I saw this speech by Trey Anastasio, lead guitarist of Phish, telling about his appreciation of their music and the differences he saw in their music compared to most of the rest of the music out there, I was deeply gratified.

Apparently, he was influenced by them as much as I suspected he might have been. Anyone who thinks Phish doesn't have the soul of a true Progressive Rock band, watch this speech...

Phish Inducts Genesis into Rock n Roll Hall of Fame with rendition of Watchers of the Skies

Wow. I can hardly believe it. After all the debate about whether or not Phish is a "Progressive Rock" band (which I think is surely true by any real definition), they finally laid the debate to rest, in my opinion, and hit it out of the park with their great rendition of "Watchers of the Skies" at the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony.

Great footage. Priceless.
