Attendance Bias Mini Episode #1: Weekapaug Groove, 8/4/15, Nashville, TN
Welcome to the first mini-episode of Attendance Bias! These mini-episodes will feature a breakdown of a single song or jam from a show that I’ve attended. I’ll pick a song or jam for any given reason—it was the highlight of the show, it meant something special to me, it's widely renown, who knows?
These mini-episodes will be posted on a bi-weekly basis in between full episodes of Attendance Bias, when a guest and I will go over a full Phish show.
Today's episode focuses on "Weekapaug Groove," played on 8/4/15 at the Ascend Amphitheater in Nashville, Tennessee. This concert came at a time when my life was in total disarray. I needed something special to help me make peace with a chapter that had recently closed. Heading to see Phish in Nashville, by myself, for the first time, did it.
The jam in "Weekapaug Groove" that closed the show was slow, new, dark, heavy, and entirely unexpected. I break it down piece by piece and explain what it meant to me. Enjoy!
