Trey/Mike/Fish/Phish Downloads and Video July 9, 2008

Of course, some of the biggest news at ROTHBURY was the “3/4 reunion” of Phish. Here’s the media I’ve seen so far:

• Download Trey’s acoustic set from bt.etree.org.  If you’re unfamiliar with the FLAC file format or BitTorrent in general, leave a comment and I’ll try to post a quick tutorial.
• The Mike/Trey/Fish cover of The Beatles She Said, She Said is up on YouTube:
• And here’s some of the Trey/Mike goodness; “Meat” (the videos pretty dicey):

Treys set was one of he most moving and inspired proformances I’ve ever had the pleasure to witness.  ANd Mike’s set was a moment no Phish fan will soon forget.  Good luck, guys!

Photo Roundup 2008.07.09 July 9, 2008

Here’s the first batch of links for some of the amazing photos I’ve seen across the web so far.

• This is a series of panoramic photos from revolutionaryviews.com. The viewer is pretty flash intensive, so you may want to close any other youtube, etc. tabs or windows before opening it. I’m very fond of the panoramics in Sherwood Forest.
• Ann Teliczan put up a nice HDR shot of Sherwood here. I hope she posts some more, I love HDR pics!
• Update: She did! Check them all out here:michigansweetspot.com. Her shot of Trey is AWESOME.
• Flickr uses Beth and Christian (aka six27) have a nice, big set of public pictures up.
• By the way, I encourage all of you to post your pictures in the ROTHBURY 2008 pool at Flickr.
• Radio X96.1 has a nice roundup including photos, podcasts, videos and interviews here. There’s an audio interview with STS9 here.

Welcome Home, Everyone! July 9, 2008

It certainly seems that the inaugural ROTHBURY was a resounding success.  Sure, there were a few snafus, but the beautiful land, visual surprises and killer shows more that made up for any shortcomings.

I’ve got a ton of links coming in, and I’ll try to keep posting through the next couple of weeks, especially as shows get uploaded to archive.org and etree.org.  I don’t have a way to embed them in wordpress, but I’ll be sharing the links, and maybe sendspacing some stuff.

On top of that, I’ll have news and review links posted as they come in.  I’ve been quite happy that most of my google-foo has brought me some really positive press.  We all did a great job this year, and it looks like we’ll be getting another shot in 2009.

Now go take a shower, you filthy hippie!

Good Morning, Everyone! July 2, 2008

Well, here we go!  Lots of you are on your way to the mitten already, and those that aren’t are probably thinking about packing and leaving today.  I’ll be rolling out tomorrow morning.  I woke up this morning to find over 400 hits to Rothbury Countdown.  Wow!  Welcome to all the new visitors, especially those coming from The Lowdown.

Kyle Gass (Tenacious D) To Interview Artists At ROTHBURY? July 1, 2008

So this is totally random, but while perusing a contest from absolutemichigan.com, I noticed this gem:

If you aren’t selected in the giveaway and can’t make it, tune into the GMNext YouTube channel for interviews of bands backstage at the Rothbury by Tenacious D’s Kyle Gass.

The Rothbury.  Lolz.

So, uh, keep an eye on that for some interviews and stuff.  When you get back, i guess.

YMSB Signing July 1, 2008

YMSB is the main reason I’m heading to ROTHBURY, and I just recieved this message from Ryan at Red Light Management (Yonders Mgm’t team):

Hi everyone – this message is for those of you heading out to Rothbury or the 80/35 Fest this weekend. Yonder will be doing a signing at Rothbury on Friday at 3:30p and a signing at
