PART II OF II: REMEMBER MIX(ED) TAPES? NO? WHAT ARE TAPES?

This is a continuation of the “Remember Mix(ed) Tapes? No? What Are ‘Tapes’?” blog post from last year, which you may want to review before reading further. Simply put, in the late 1990s, I liquidated a lot of tapes in my collection for a number of reasons, and because, waaay waaaaay back then, it wasn’t possible to (re)listen to everything online with ease, I saved/preserved certain versions of songs on tapes aka mixtapes to listen to again. I have 22 of such tapes numbered as such, and you can see the first 13 tapes’ track lists in the original post, and the track lists of tapes 14-22 below.

Bottom line? Since I bothered to record (preserve) the versions below on new tapes before liquidating the shows/tapes that they were on, I recommend you listen to them, even though with the benefit of decades of hindsight, they may not necessarily be jamchart-worthy or "must hear." That said, I see my favorite normal-lengthed Stash (5/19/94) is here, as is the Linus and Lucy Hood, and my favorite FEFY (8/17/93). So there’s that. And there are definitely many other “must hear” versions of Phish songs below, like the 6/24/94 Antelope (and some hilarious versions of songs, too, e.g. Fish on Undun, the intro to the 4/27/89 Bowie).

And I’m just now finding out that apparently the 5/11/87 Clod (on Tape 14) doesn’t circulate online (I bothered to save it to tape so it must have been on my tapes of 5/11/87 that I liquidated decades ago, sigh). I will see about getting it digitized. More sighing. ANYWAY, I hope you find the following entertaining if not also useful and inspiring! And if you don’t? You just might, maybe, perhaps, if only a little, suck at Phish. -charlie

dscott Cool post! I loved squeezing fillers onto the ends of tapes, but I was never a mixed tape guy. So, this is all a fascinating new world to me.

FWIW, 5/11/87 Clod does circulate digitally. The newer recording of the show, which is found on Relisten, is missing Clod and Ya Mar from Set 1. The older circulating recording of the 1st set, which includes those 2 songs, can be found on phishows.com.

The_Gamehendge_CD_Rom Great post. I was just thinking the other day about how - when it comes to official releases - I'm actually more attracted to compilations that bring together hot tracks from a run or tour than I am to complete shows. This is the DIY version of that. Very cool.

Phish99 That’s an impressive and organized collection in the photo. Still have my Phish cassettes, and I’m glad I do!
