was looking through Rolling Stone and on page58 trey talks about recording a new song on the fly with his iphone it goes on to say the songs name “Show of Life” 
tab played that in charlotte in the encore
my fault
I don’t think there is any fault here, thanks for the info!
no fault at all, i actually have no idea what it sounded like, just looked on the setlist. the whole encore was sick though. hopefully it will turn into a new phish song!
It was also played in the encore for Atl/Stl tab shows. I enjoy the song &(really dig the title). I do look for this song to be put into the rotation.
Does anyone know if this song was written by just Trey?
In Charlottesville, he calls it a song “by the Dude of Life appropriately called ‘The Show of Life’”
good looking out for new tunes scalperssuck! i know trey said he would be working on stuff with his band that might make it into phish rotation. a dude song?
will we get a dude appearance in 2010? 
played it at pretty much every TAB show this past feb/march. good song, great for grabbing a beer
^ oooh, burn!
the real story behind this thing is how they wrote/recorded it…I mentioned it the other day in chat…but Steve Pollak and Trey were eating lunch in NY and they wrote and recorded it on Trey’s iPhone at lunch…Trey said people started gathering around and stuff, he said it really recreated the experience of performing on the street and what not
this was part of the “what I’m excited for” section of RS special edition
Here is the HD video I shot of it in C-Ville.

PERFECT Keith!!!
I’m a fan. I hope they bust this out during the summer.
“A revolving cast but the same old game.”
I think it’s possible that this could be a sweet jam vehicle too.
Yeah, I’ve seen some bagging on this song from phans on various boards but I think it has potential. Most of the folks bagging on it can’t get over that Phish isn’t the same band from 1994 anymore and haven’t been for a long, long time.
^Word, Gooch, word. I LOVE this song. Can’t wait to hear the boys play it this summer…and Toyota Park will be the first place…look for it every other show.
I like it. Sounds like the Jerry Song “I’ll Take a Melody” a little bit…just the verses…
This is what trey said
What I’m Exited About By: Trey Anastasio
Recording On My iPhone
I’m obsessed with this recording app on my iPhone - The Sonoma Wire Works FourTrack. It’s like you have a superpowerful studio in your pocket. I can record basically anywhere. Like, I was having lunch with my friend Steve Pollak in New York recently; He brought a bunch of lyrics, and we started writing on the spot - we were on the corner of 94th and Amsterdam, singing harmonies and bass lines at the top of our lungs into the earpiece. People eventually started gathering around us. The demo captured the whole vibe - the exitement of being on the street. I don’t think I would’ve even remembered the melody by the time I got home. We took it to band practice, learned the tune right off the demo. Didn’t change one thing. And now we’re going to play the song. “Show Of Life” on this summer’s tour.
great read, thanks for this post!
Gonna hear it alot this summer.
