Phish on Spotify

Tuesday 09/20/2011 by multibeast

The online music service Spotify has taken the US by storm since being made available in mid-July 2011. It boasts catalogs of music from most of the major labels and some independant and smaller labels as well. In addition, sites like digster.fm, ShareMyPlaylists, and Rhinofy have made it easy to find great playlists and become exposed to all sorts of music you have never heard of as well as music you have not listened to in years. One of Spotify's great features is the ability to share playlists and subscribe to other playlists very easily. The Facbook connect feature gives you quick access to all of your Facebook friends' playlists which you can listen and even subscribe to.

Phish has quite an extensive selection of music available on Spotify. Any of the livephish.com shows that have been re-released in remastered form are there, as are all of the other official live releases like Colorado 88, Live at The Roxy, Vegas 96 and more. The entire original Live Phish CD series is there as well, all 20 shows.

To make it easier to discover what Phish is available on Spotify, I have created some playlists that are public and can be subscribed to. There are also a couple of Phish-related playlists that exist and I have included links to those as well. Two of them are collaborative playlists, which means any user can add tracks to it.

Here are the links for my Phish Spotify playlists:

Phish Studio CDs

Live Phish CD Series

LivePhish.com Releases

Official Live Releases

Phish Halloween "Musical Customes"

Phish Covers (a collaborative list of cover songs Phish has played live)

and here are some playlists that are Phish-related, or created by someone else:

The Covers of Phish (collaborative playlist of original versions of songs Phish has covered, created by Thomas Meyer)

Phish Soundchecks (created by Drew Hitz)

Bunny Radio Tracks from SuperBall IX (created by Eric Wyman)

Phish Covers (songs Phish has covered, created by FeeTheProdigy)

I believe now you can get in via this page without an invite, especially if you have a Facebook account: http://www.spotify.com/us/hello-america/comb/

This list is incredibly helpful, instead of just searching for Phish and playing through random tracks. Thank you so much!

I was able to create a spotify account WITHOUT an invite. They let me register because I was on facebook (I think also because I have fb friends who already had spot accounts too).

If you don't have an invite, just go to Spotify and try to register. You'll prolly be fine.

another amazing thing about the Phish series on Spotify are the Live Phish series I-XX. Since I own all the original cd's that contain the filler I never sought out digital downloads of them. I realized after looking on Spotify that all 20 LP releases contain an extra soundcheck or bonus track. I love listening to Phish's soundcheck jams - nobody's listening or watching and they can do whatever they want. Some highlights are:
- Spooky, LP12, 14min
- Columbus Jam, LP10, 6min
- Glenn Falls Jam> Landlady> Jam, LP13, 13min
- Overload, LP15, 9min
- The Way I Feel Jam, LP17, 10min
- Alpine Jam, LP5, 10min

I just created a new playlist. Pre-show and set break music from Phish concerts in the 3.0 era. Over 1,000 tracks to shuffle.
