Hi everybody and welcome to this week’s episode of Attendance Bias. I am your host, Brian Weinstein. This week’s guest is Adam Rosenberg. 

At first Adam had some difficulty narrowing down the show or jam he wanted to discuss. It seemed like every choice he suggested had already been chosen by a previous guest. Then, it seems like he took a moonshot and suggested one of Phish’s best jams ever: “Chalkdust Torture” from Camden, played on July 10, 1999. While many guests on this podcasts have told their stories about shows or jams from the summer of 1999, this absolute monster was still up for grabs, and man, am I glad that Adam took this opportunity. 

 Although separated by a few years, Adam and I had very similar introductions to Phish and hit it off immediately. The conversation felt instantly familiar, even though we had just been in touch for a few weeks.

 So let’s join Adam to talk about phony college interviews, Steve Vai and Reddit, and what it’s like when your parents know more about goo balls than you do, as we discuss Phish’s performance of “Chalkdust Torture” from July 10, 1999 at the E Center in Camden, New Jersey.
