This week we have a long overdue guest, CJ, who is a longtime fan of the podcast and Mainer exiled in London. But we'll have him back for this Summer Tour, which we discuss on this show, along with lots of other things. The timing of this pick was stellar -- we'll be discussing and listening to the first day of the first Phish festival, the Clifford Ball, from 1996. This discussion comes just days after the latest festival announcement, Magnaball, coming in August 2015. This is Set 2, chapters below. And please review us on iTunes and send comments and feedback to helpingfriendlypodcast at gmail dot com, and follow us on Twitter. And check out CashorTrade.org for face value tickets to shows across the country. If you are on Stitcher, give us a review!  Chapter 1  0:00    Chat w/CJ Chapter 2  8:07    Set 2 Phish 8.16.96 Chapter 3  1:40:20  Set 2 Discussion -- Phish 8.16.96, The Clifford Ball, Plattsburgh, NY Set 2: Split Open and Melt, Sparkle > Free, The Squirming Coil, Waste, Talk, Train Song, Strange Design, Hello My Baby, Mike's Song -> Simple -> Contact > Weekapaug Groove

This week we're excited to be joined by Steven Hyden, a music journalist for Grantland and a self-described Phish "noob." We chatted about 10.31.96, the Halloween show that of course included the cover of Remain in Light, by the Talking Heads. Here's an article that Steven wrote about Phish for Grantland, which is a great read. We got a lot of good feedback on the new format last week, and so we're going to continue to just include the guest conversation, and point you to PhishTracks, Phish On Demand App or Live Phish to listen to the epic Halloween album from 10.31.96. Please continue to send us feedback about this experiment and let us know what you think.

This week we have Adam Menzo joining us, who picked a show that was his first and is near and dear to our hearts, 12.6.97 from The Palace. All 3 of us were lucky enough to have been there, and this show still ranks as one of the best in Phish history. New Experiment! We're trying something different this week. Instead of including the show audio in the podcast, we're going to point you to a few places where you can hear it (links below). Because there are so many ways to listen to shows these days, we wanted to save some bandwidth/file size and deliver the guest conversation while letting you listen to the music in whatever way works for you. Chapters below. Listen to 12.6.97 on PhishTracks, Phish On Demand App or Live Phish. Please please send us feedback about this experiment and let us know what you think. Chapter 1 0:00    Intro Chat w/Adam Chapter 2 26:46   Set 1 Breakdown Chapter 3 33:41   Set 2 Breakdown & Wrap Up -- Phish, 12.6.97, The Palace, Auburn Hills, MI Set 1: Golgi Apparatus, Run Like an Antelope, Train Song > Bathtub Gin -> Foam, Sample in a Jar, Fee > Maze, Cavern Set 2: Tweezer -> Izabella -> Twist -> Piper, Sleeping Monkey > Tweezer Reprise Encore: Rocky Top
