I've become an acquaintance of the former director of the MoTabs (from 1999 until 2008). In telling him about my wife's and my recent visit to Manhattan for the NYE run, he started asking questions about Phish. The upshot: I'm gonna make a "mix-disc" for him. I'm thinking orchestral Guyute and YEM, followed by the Phish version. Any other suggestions? Also...my only orchestral YEM (NY Phil.) is marred by bad recording volumes...can someone point me to a cleaner version...doesn't matter which orchestra.
BTW, the guy is very cool, and quite eclectic in his musical tastes. He's gonna give it a listen!
