Dust & Disquiet is a studio LP which was released on September 25th, 2015 via Hobbledehoy in AUS/NZ (Triple Crown US and Big Scary Monsters UK/Europe). Dust & Disquiet is the band’s fourth full-length album and the follow up to 2012’s stellar Waking Season. Recorded at Q Division Studios in Somerville, Massachusetts, Caspian once again tapped Matt Bayles (Isis, Cursive, Screaming Females, The Sword) to produce and mix.
A six-disc archival set, Ventura chronicles summer concerts Phish gave at the Ventura County Fairgrounds in the back half of the '90s, by which time their status as the titans of jam was well-established. The first show here is from July of 1997, the second performed a year later, which means both arrived during the two-year gap separating 1996's Billy Breathes and 1998's The Story of the Ghost – two years where the band's popularity was on the rise and it certainly seemed like a crossover was perhaps within their sites.
By the time Jerry Garcia passed on in 1995, Phish had already been growing a remarkably devoted following of Phish-heads, moving in the same migration patterns that had been laid out by Deadheads in the decades preceding. While Garcia's passing didn't exactly symbolize a changing of the guard in the jam band kingdom, it did mark the end of the Grateful Dead's previously endless touring, and left tens of thousands of nomadic free spirits leaderless and drifting with no band to follow across the parking lots and stadiums of America…
Phish put on one of the most epic live show runs in history last summer when they booked 13 nights at New York’s iconic Madison Square Garden. With two sets a night for a total of 26 unique setlists, the jam legends ended up playing a whopping 237 songs without ever repeating themselves. Now, each and every song they baked up can be taken home with you in the newly announced The Complete Baker’s Dozen Box Set.
