From Phish update email:

On December 6, 1996, Phish played their debut gig in Las Vegas at the Aladdin Theatre. It was the final show of a 35-date fall tour that stretched across the country, and it was the first in what became a loose tradition of off-the-wall, humorous and irreverent Vegas appearances. This new 3-CD set (available in both Limited and Standard Edition versions) will be released in stores on November 20th, 2007 by JEMP Records and available for download at LivePhish.com.

Vegas 96 is available for PRE-ORDER NOW at Phish Dry Goods. Everyone who pre-orders from Dry Goods will receive “Road To Vegas,” an exclusive bonus CD of highlights from Phish’s Fall 1996 Tour. Featuring more than three hours of music, Vegas 96 captures the spirit of a band at the peak of its powers pulling out all the stops.

LIMITED EDITION VEGAS 96 BOX SET

In addition to the three-disc Standard Edition containing the entire concert, a Special Limited Edition Vegas 96 Box Set includes a bonus DVD of archival footage from the show and an extensive 40-page bound photo book in deluxe packaging. The extended “Harpua” encore included on the bonus DVD features a host of special guests onstage including Les Claypool and Larry LaLonde of Primus, multi-instrumentalist John McEuen, yodelers and four Elvis impersonators in a legendary display of Vegas-style sensory overload.

We also have a handful of new Vegas goodies at Dry Goods to commemorate this release including T-Shirts, Phish playing cards and dice.

…shweet

#3

Yeah, go to dry goods and look at the High Roller Package pre-order.

Cd, DVD, Book, translucent dice (w/ Phish logo), Deck of cards (with Fishman on them) & Shirt for like 70 bucks.

Pretty good deal.

#4

good deal and a great show, but the recording I have is good enough for me

#5

Whoa, check out the bonus CD.

That’s fantastic.

#6

on second thought, that Simple–>Hood would be killer DVD to have

#7

im trying to figure id this dvd is going to be worth paying the extra 20 bucks…i doubt it is

#8

What else are you going to spend that $20 on?

A whore?

Tuition?

scoffs

#9

Another release with Suzy on it. Geez. Maybe I can request mine without it. The rest looks hot though.

#10

i dont want to spend 20 bucks on a dvd “archival” footage which to me sounds unprofessional and not wirth 20 bucks.

that and im running out of brothel money

#11

This may be the first Phish archival release I shell out for in a long time.

#12

I can’t wait…as usual.

#13

Holy high elvii!

:o

#14

I can’t help but notice that all of the bonus tracks are taken from November. Is the October leg of the tour just that uninteresting, or is this just their way of acknowledging how much things changed after the Halloween show??

#15

There weren’t many “big” jams in October.
All those on the bonus disc are sweet picks.
a

#16

They should have included the “Theme” from 11/27/96.

In terms of “official CD releases” (physical CDs), isn’t the Island Tour the only live version of “Theme” out there?

Or am I missing one?

#17

Whoops, 7-15-03.

Oh well. You can never have enough live "Theme"s.

#18

im antsy to hear that gin from 11/7 goden is always talkin bout

#19

i think they missed the mark with some of their highlight choices.

split open - 11-9-96 (imo 10/27 would’ve been a better choice)

tweezer - 11-3-96 (while a good version, i would of rather seen 10/23 or 11/11 showcased)

bathtub gin - 11-7-96 (they got this one right, by far the best version of the tour!)

simple - 11-18-96 (solid version, but i think 10/26 or 11/8 would’ve been a better choice)

amazing grace>amazing grace instrumental - 11-30-96 (this is definitely a cool way to end the disc!)

i think i may have to go with the high roller package…i’m such a custy! :-/

#20

If you’re a custy, what does that make me??

…On second thought, don’t answer that.
