Hi all! 

With this especially stressful and busy holiday season, I need to take a short break from recording new episodes of Attendance Bias. 

A lot of work goes into Attendance Bias and, aside from each week’s guest, it’s a one-man show to put each episode together. I find immense joy in talking with guests, getting feedback from listeners, and of course listening to Phish. During the holiday season, there have been a lot of scheduling glitches and it’s been difficult to produce the best episodes possible.

So I’ve decided to take January to rest, regroup, and hopefully get some episodes recorded and in the can so that I can keep up the weekly schedule that so many of you have reached out to tell me that you enjoy. 

In the meantime, so many new listeners have discovered Attendance Bias over the past year or so. To keep up with a weekly schedule, I thought it might be fun to re-release previously recorded episodes as “Classic” Attendance Bias. I did that last week with the Tom Marshall episode, and I’d like to shine a spotlight on some episodes that I think some people may have skipped over and would enjoy during Phish’s off-season before Mexico…if it even happens.

My aim is to come back better than ever with new episodes beginning in February. I hope that you all stick around for a few weeks, spread the word, and continue to enjoy classic episodes of Attendance Bias.

And just so we don’t break on an awkward note, I’m going to leave you with a full recording of one of the best jams I’ve ever seen: “Reba” from December 30, 1998. This was the third show of my first multi-show run, and this “Reba” closed the first set. I could not believe how long the set ran. The whole first set was an hour and thirty minutes, and “Reba” was placed after what I assumed would be a set-closing “Loving Cup.” Enjoy this jam as Phish was and still is, the band that keeps on giving.
