PHISH CELEBRATES LAUNCH WITH FREE VIDEO DOWNLOAD
We are thrilled to be the first band to deliver video clips of our live shows directly to fans at LivePhish.com, the band’s music download channel, which was also first to deliver lossless, uncut live concerts. The first video release on LivePhish.com is from Phish’s legendary 1995 New Year’s Eve concert at Madison Square Garden, recently released as a 3-CD set by JEMP Records/Rhino Records and online at LivePhish.com.
To celebrate the launch of the video download service and the release of their New Year’s Eve 1995 concert, Phish is offering a New Year’s gift in the form of a free video download of their New Year’s countdown complete with their Gamehendge Time Phactory, the traditional “Auld Lang Syne” and a jaw-dropping rendition of the band’s classic “Weekapaug Groove.” The free download will be available from LivePhish.com until January 15. Live Phish Videos are offered song by song for $1.99 each and are compatible with Apple’s popular iPod video player as well as all PC and Mac video players.

HOWEVER: There is one downside that I did not realize to LivePhish.com. You can’t download using Firefox or Opera. So the enlightened among us must open up the fossil that is Internet Explorer and without the use of tabs navigate through the site to retrieve our download. Yes it is that much of a bitch, and yes I can complain about it. Now go get your download, and hurry up, because it’s 141 MB and a limited time thing.
