amazon blurb wrote:Twenty years after its release, Phish's double-CD collection A Live One has something rare and precious going for it: it still doesn't sound like anybody else. Oversized, perverse, requiring an unusual amount of listener background knowledge? Yes to all. Yet the collective improvisations it captures, unprecedentedly coherent yet freewheeling and open-ended, are unique in rock 'n' roll.
This book considers the music and moment of Phish's ecstatically inventive 1995 live document, a mix of weirdo acid-psych, ambient moonscapes, vaudevillian Americana, and riotous arena-rock energy, all filtered through bandleader Trey Anastasio's screwball compositional sensibility and the band's idiosyncratic approach to spontaneous group creativity. It places Phish and their fandom in historical and cultural context, and picks apart the mechanics of their extended group jams. And it examines the mystery of how a quartet of nice boys from Burlington, VT could have been, all at once, one of America's biggest touring acts and one of its best-kept secrets.

I always cranked up the CD during the quiet parts before the jam to listen to the crowd. On the vinyl, this is very pronounced especially when you turn it up to 11. Like you said, these are all definitive versions of the classics and the best part is they sound like you're in the arena with the band. The production quality on the vinyl/box/etc is all top notch. This will end up being the Phish vinyl release I'll most often go to in the future.
On a side note, as good as this sounds through my stereo system I highly recommend using (noise reducing) headphones. I'm pretty sure you've mentioned the benefits of them before but everyone else should really follow suite. It's really the best way to listen to music. Don't get me wrong, I still crank my stereo often too, it's just not as crisp.

Anyone own the MSG 6LP set? I wrote this one off when it was originally released due to the price tag ($130?) but now, after listening to A Live One a couple times, I got the itch to buy this. It can be had for around $150, which ends up being $25/lp. It's sometimes hard to justify paying that much for a single LP which is the same reason why I passed on the Dead Cornell 3 LP release ($99). My collection is pretty extensive (https://www.discogs.com/user/booztravlr/collection) so I don't really need this but...why not, right? I'm mainly just curious to hear about the sound, etc. from anyone who owns it.

Have been pretty tempted to get the ALO vinyl but haven’t justified spending that much on a record yet. Might wait to find a used copy.
SS&P vinyl would be awesome if they can fit it on two discs so it’d be a reasonable price.
