PHISH - The "Hoist" Tracking Sessions [1994]

PHISH - The "Hoist" Tracking Sessions [1994]
Short video documenting the recording/tracking of the album "Hoist" by PHISH. This is prior to the incident when Trey ate Fishman's Fractal accidentally on purpose.
Enjoy.
Oh, a shameless plug for my Twitch channel:
Watch me live multiple times per week in the late evening(EST) over at / reevo2600hz

This is absolutely incredible! Been a phan since 1995 from 1st hearing A Live One in British Columbia when on the mandatory Canadian West summer Trip! Met up with friends and made a new one, Jean Philippe Vézina, he was the 1st person that introduced me to Phish and I was hooked (pun intended !). Sadly he died a few years later coming back from a Phish concert, driver fell asleep at the wheel and they crashed into an overpass in JP’s Volvo 240 station wagon…. I owe him a lot, for Phish and for steering my musical tastes in a new and incredible direction. This album has many emotions associated with it (for me at least). That ‘gravel’ part is crazy, never would of thought! Thank you for this insight.

[@TK-fk4po]

Never knew he did that pick slide in Wolfman’s. And the SG on Axilla!

[@tehdouglas1]

Great video i didnt know Bela Fleck did the banjo in Mule

[@64482]

Thank you so much for posting this. I've known it existed for over 25 years, but never knew how I could see it.

[@davidrath6872]

I love the section where they’re doing Axilla and they get Mike solo just screaming Axilla Axilla Axilla!

[@jerrylives2278]

I still have this VHS at my parents house. Hoist was the first album that was released once I'd been turned on to them but I seem to remember A Live One better and for sure when Billy Breaths came out...I always thought the editing was so funny how this was put together.

[@gonesville6873]

This album was my college soundtrack

[@sweshrung]

This soundtrack was my college album 😊

[@mattwarbuckle]

This college was by album soundtrack

[@tommj4365]

for me it was 7th grade summer vacation, I think...

[@Jebus805]

Likewise

[@deadheadwill2609]

mike doing vocals for axilla.. lmfao

Entire album is a masterwork imo
They have got to look back fondly at those times and their capabilities even as such young men. Masterpiece

[@pinpeobi]

I'll never forget this video. Think I saw it in like 97 or so. I thought it was high def until 4k poisoned me lol

[@hlf_coder6272]

This is Trey from Phish
Unheard response: Oh my god, no f@cking way!

[@1surfpickle]

Amy's Farm! Auburn, Maine for the Hoist album cover... I was there in 91'

[@jeffgoodstine4976]

Make it so, number one.

[@hermitcrypto2787]

So it’s just a big magic trick, this is why i prefer everything in one take..

[@amb661]

17:21 LSD

[@audiofunkdialect]

probably but not necessarily.

[@user-hx5eq3em4c]

looking for owl's

[@giarc0]

100%

[@giarc0]

16:13 and the next morning lol

[@kyleboehner535]

Ok hold tf up. Was that bela fleck playing banjo???

[@atomsapple1]

Yes. Almost 30 years ago 😮

[@Ojb_1959]

🎣 I’m hooked😵‍💫

[@TheHolisticHazelnut]

I totally owned this on VHS and watched it nonstop back in the day! My first real glimpse of the boys. PS who is that guy who looks like fish's brother??

[@cameronhill4000]

Wolfman

[@audiofunkdialect]

@@cameronhill4000 Exactly what I was going to say.

[@ryankartheiser855]

I still have mine

[@lokispeicher8103]

This is fucking AMAZING!!! thank you so much

[@voccsaycee30]

This was a great sounding album. Educational to see how it was recorded. Very cool that Mike made this video.

[@unknownbrother273]

10:27 i almost choked on my food

[@golephish]

thank you.

[@michaeldematteis3409]

I wish they would release like twenty hours of this footage.kinda like the Beatles just did.well that was like 9 hours lol,I would take 9

[@notto86]

Who's the guy in the purple shirt at 9:15?

[@somewiseguyhehe]

Me: "that guy playing Trombone looks like Riker"
*looks at wikipedia entry for Hoist production*
"Hoist features guest appearances from Alison Krauss, Béla Fleck, Tower of Power, Rose Stone and a host of other musicians, as well as actor Jonathan Frakes on trombone."

[@briansommer5207]

Who is the magnificent gentleman in purple??

[@unknownbrother273]

6:49 that's a bit better than Page and Mike when live 😂

[@turnleftaticeland]

10:20

[@nicebluejay]

i had this on vhs lol

[@HiroProtago]

@3:50 I wanna know who had the high score on Defender, and what was that score. I’d guess Page because fingers

[@jonnymac6939]

🦉

[@lokispeicher8103]

Hoist is easily my favorite album just like you...who's with me

[@ComingThruTheDrRan]

14:00 Fishman is the absolute shaman gem of this band. You can see why they stuck together for 40 years when you have a guy who absolutely doesn't take himself seriously. I phucken love these guys.

[@audiofunkdialect]

Hahaha who the fuck is Frim?!?

[@lokispeicher8103]

Number One was a bit fugged up eh?

[@brianriback6285]

I am DYING to know the names of those background singers!

[@MJK715]

Well, perhaps you jest, but they are provided at the end of the video.

[@TheDolphster5000]

Allison Krause on If I Could!

[@audiofunkdialect]

I know it makes me wonder if they’ve ever seen them live before.

[@iiiphase4606]

Geeking out over that owl brought the biggest smile to my face. 😂

[@ronschaffer5959]

Makes absolutely no sense.
