July 12, 2022 09:00 - 1 hour - 78.6 MBYour eyes and ears are not deceiving you, there’s a new episode of Beyond the Pond! The battle against Phish myopia rages on. In Episode 114 we do a deep dive into the thirty minute, extremely wide-ranging version of Ghost from Nuremberg, Germany on July 3, 1997. Only the eighth Ghost ever played, Phish is more than comfortable giving it the epic treatment because they were basically capable of ANYTHING in July of 1997, and were already well aware that this song would become a set tentpole f...

Episode 113: Viking Funeral (The Final BTP

Episode 111: The Went Gin
December 08, 2020 10:00 - 1 hour - 102 MBIn Episode 111 we discuss the near perfect take on Bathtub Gin from Limestone, ME on August 17, 1997. A melodic and emotive hose jam, it’s a brilliant example of pure playing, musical connection, and Trey-led jamming that, while it doesn’t break new ground for the band, neither has to. The Went Gin is here to serve as a peak moment of connectivity and communal joy over where Phish was, some 10 months into their reinvention period. Songs featured in this episode are: The Kinks: “This Time ...
Episode 110: Orlando Stash
November 17, 2020 10:00 - 1 hour - 119 MBIn Episode 110 we discuss the wild and expansive take on Stash from November 14, 1995 in Orlando, Florida. A version which seamlessly moves into Manteca and Dog Faced Boy before closing with Stash, it’s a clear example of the musical heights the band had reached by November 1995, and the musical themes they were toying with as they transitioned towards their 1997–1998 peak that would come. As part of the Osiris Phish podcast ‘November Project’, along with Under The Scales and Helping Frien...
Episode 109: Phoenix Guy Forget
October 20, 2020 09:00 - 1 hour - 101 MBIn Episode 109 we discuss the hypnotic, groove-driven jam out of first Piper, and later, the debut of the joke soundcheck jam, Guy Forget. A true jam that one can never forget, this represents the last great jam of the 1.0 era, and a testament to how creative Phish was, even in their final few days as a band. As part of the Osiris Phish podcast ‘October Project’, along with Under The Scales and Helping Friendly Podcast, we are examining Phish’s epic Fall 2000 tour. We’d encourage you to ch...
Episode 108: Eugene Crosseyed
September 29, 2020 09:00 - 1 hour - 98.7 MBIn Episode 108 we discuss the atmospheric and oceanic take on Crosseyed & Painless from Matthew Knight Arena in Eugene, Oregon on October 17, 2014, the Fall Tour Opener. Coming late in a tepid tour opener, the Crosseyed & Painless leaves the song’s main theme for A Major and a hazy jam which both matches the locale & autumnal vibe of the west coast Fall Tour. It’s one of the most underrated jams of the entire 3.0 era, and a precursor to the nuanced jamming styles of the Fall 2014 Tour. Song...
Episode 107: 90's Britpop
September 15, 2020 09:00 - 1 hour - 107 MBIn Episode 107 we dive deep into the brief & brilliant peak of 1990’s Britpop, exploring the foundations of the genre, the firework of a peak, the bands that defined it, and the post-Britpop era in popular rock. A true moment in time, we focus primarily on the 1993–1997 peak era to discuss five of the most important bands of the genre, and what led to its evolutionary downfall. In addition, we discuss what it means a quarter century on from its peak. Songs featured in this episode are: Bl...
Episode 106: Dick's Sand / NMINML
September 03, 2020 09:00 - 1 hour - 111 MBIn Episode 106 we pay tribute to Phish’s 2010’s Tradition of closing each summer at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City, CO, highlighting two incredible runs & jams, the Sand from September 2, 2012, and No Men In No Man’s Land from September 2, 2016. The former capped off the best run we’ve ever seen at Dick’s, jamming within the grooves of Sand for 12min before diving off the deep-end into a gummy-induced spacious exploration which predicted some of the best jams of the last 3 years...
Episode 105: The Mann Bowie w/ Drew Hitz & Don Hart
August 25, 2020 09:00 - 2 hours - 162 MBIn Episode 105 we’re joined by Mike’s Song Second Jam Ambassador, Andrew Hitz (@drewphish) and composer Don Hart (@hartmus) to discuss the wild, excessive, and maniacal take on David Bowie from June 24, 1995 at The Mann Music Theater in Philadelphia, PA. Using the jam as a leaping off point we highlight three composers who provide thematic insights into the music Phish was experimenting with in the Summer of 1995. In addition, we hear from Don Hart, who has worked with Trey to transcribe p...
Episode 104: The Genesis of Phish w/ Matt Dwyer (Pt II)
August 13, 2020 09:00 - 1 hour - 137 MBIn Episode 104 we’re joined by Matt Dwyer to discuss the history of Genesis & their lasting impact on the origins of Phish across two episodes. In Part II we deep dive Genesis, charting their entire career in four phases — Gabriel, 4 Then 3, Prog-Pop Transition, and Pop Band w/ Prog Sensibilities — and exploring the various influences which guided their ongoing evolution from prog innovators to one of the more successful pop-rock bands of all time. Songs featured in this episode are: Gene...
Episode 104: The Genesis of Phish w/ Matt Dwyer & Tom Marshall (Pt I)
August 11, 2020 09:00 - 57 minutes - 65.8 MBIn Episode 104 we’re joined by Matt Dwyer & Tom Marshall to discuss the history of Genesis & their lasting impact on the origins of Phish across two episodes. In Part I, we draw the line between Genesis & Phish using specific examples to showcase the influence Genesis had on Phish, particularly in the songwriting partnership of Anastasio/Marshall. In addition, Matt shares a conversation he had with Tom which tracks his own Genesis fandom. Songs featured in this episode are: Phish: “Thread,...
Episode 103: Lexington Gin
July 28, 2020 09:00 - 1 hour - 80.5 MBIn Episode 103 we discuss the wide-ranging, forward-thinking, infectious take on Bathtub Gin from the University of Kentucky on November 7, 1996. One week removed from their performance of the Talking Heads Remain In Light, Phish was already applying the lessons of the album to one of their longest-serving jam vehicles. The hints of 1997’s reinvention are hard to avoid now as nearly every BIG jam over the next four weeks would further push the band towards their Linear Musical Communication ...
Episode 102: Atlanta KDF
July 21, 2020 09:00 - 1 hour - 103 MBIn Episode 102 we chat about the effortless funk that emerged from Kill Devil Falls on July 31, 2015 in Atlanta, GA. One of the original debuts of 3.0, Kill Devil Falls never indicated its ability to jam with such ease and expansiveness ahead of its 22min Set II opening masterpiece midway through Summer 2015. Celebrating its fifth anniversary in just a little over a week, we invite you to take a step back in time to a tour that is unanimously praised within the community, and a year that fee...
Episode 101: Breakbeats Of A Feather w/ Wade Wilby
July 07, 2020 09:00 - 1 hour - 130 MBIn Episode 101 we’re joined by a fantastic DJ and massive music collector, Wade Wilby for a lively discussion on the drumming of Jon Fishman, the larger breakbeat history & culture, and how Phish has incorporated breakbeats into their sound. According to Wikipedia, “The most likely origin of the word “breakbeat” is the fact that the drum loops that were sampled occurred during a “break” in the music, as in the Amen break, which is a drum solo from “Amen, Brother” by The Winstons. However, it...
Episode 100: Ask BTP Anything w/ Tom Marshall
June 30, 2020 09:00 - 1 hour - 106 MBIn EPISODE 100 we’re joined by our friend, one of our biggest supporters, and one of our musical heroes, Tom Marshall, to celebrate 100 Episodes of Beyond The Pond, and take listener questions to dive into our musical past & honest musical takes.

In addition to our Top Ten Albums of 2020 so far, we’ve compiled a list of our Honorable Mentions. It’s been an insane year so far, but the music produced has been excellent, and many of the musical breakthroughs we both had last year have spilled over in 2020’s first half. Dave’s Top Ten Albums of 2020 (So Far) 10. Stephen Malkmus: Traditional Techniques 9. Pacific Range: High Up O...
Black Lives Matter
June 09, 2020 09:00 - 1 hour - 95.1 MBWith everything happening in America in the wake of the murder of George Floyd, we felt it necessary to step back and discuss our thoughts, as well as how we're communicating racism and the constant pursuit of equality in our country to our kids. We also felt it important to acknowledge that we haven't done enough as podcasters to highlight the music of black artists, especially those who are up and coming, and we commit to do better. We've also included information about a few organizations...
Episode 098: Radio City Ghost w/ Robert Ker
May 26, 2020 09:00 - 2 hours - 148 MBIn Episode 098 we chat about the languid and mysterious version of Ghost from May 22, 2000, at Radio City Music Hall in New York City, NY. To do so, we’re joined by Robert Ker (@bobbker /@phish2000at2020) to chat about the larger themes around the jam & run, plus dive deep into the worlds of krautrock & early-aughts NYC. An almost entirely Mike-led jam, it extends onward through minimal changes, for nearly 30min. Throughout much of it, Trey avoids taking leads, allowing all the lessons of th...
Episode 097: Pavement w/ PJ Rudolph
May 12, 2020 09:00 - 2 hours - 187 MBIn Episode 097 we deep-dive one of our favorite bands of all time: Pavement. To do so, we bring on one of our close friends & returning guest, PJ Rudolph (@axillapt3) to chat about the band’s lasting legacy, our favorite records, the fantastic solo work of Stephen Malkmus, and their connections to Phish. PJ joined us in Episode 074: Remembering David Berman, and we were stoked to have him back on the pod to talk about the larger world of the Pavement/Jicks/Silver Jews world, albeit under hap...
Episode 096: SPAC Number Line w/ Dr. Kevin Finkel
April 28, 2020 09:00 - 1 hour - 137 MBIn Episode 096 we discuss the longest and wildest take on Backwards Down The Number Line from Phish’s Summer 2009 Tour Finale at the Saratoga Performing Arts Center in Saratoga Springs, NY. We’re joined at the top by Dr. Kevin Finkel (Episode 088: Broadway Phish), anesthesiologist at Hartford Hospital, to discuss his experiences on the front lines of COVID-19, before letting him forget about work for a bit to dive into Summer 2009 Phish with us. We discuss the challenges the band faced in th...
Episode 095: Chicago Jibboo
April 21, 2020 09:00 - 1 hour - 81.1 MBIn Episode 095 we discuss the infectious and groove-driven jam off Gotta Jibboo from February 20, 2003 at the Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Illinois. A relentless example in hooked-up candy jamming, this Jibboo feels plucked out of Summer 1998, or an example of the joy that emitted from Fall 2013, dropped here, unexpectedly, in the dimly lit era of 2.0 Phish. Try all you might, I dare you to forego a massive dance party in your house to this jam. Songs featured in this episode are: LCD Soun...
Episode 094: Vernon Downs Ramble On
April 07, 2020 09:00 - 1 hour - 83.2 MBIn Episode 094 we discus the blissful & ethereal jam off Led Zeppelin’s Ramble On from August 12, 1998 at Vernon Downs, NY. A classic example of the Brian Eno Ambient Style of jamming that had infused Phish’s sound throughout Summer 1998, this is a gorgeous, late-Set I summertime jam that we cannot get enough of right now. Songs featured in this episode are: Quiet Sun: “Trot” Them Crooked Vultures: “Scumbag Blues” Chuck Johnson: “Riga Black” Vacant Gardens: “Shorebirds” In addition, w...
Episode 093: Columbia Funky Bitch
March 24, 2020 09:00 - 1 hour - 101 MBIn Episode 093 we discuss the wild and experimental jam off Funky Bitch on November 22, 1994 from Columbia, MO. Deep in the heart of November 1994, the band leapt off a Jon Fishman mistake into a 25 minute jam that helped to define the larger goals of the era. Songs featured in this episode are: Mosses: “TV Sun” Tortoise: “TNT” Steve Mason: “Lonely” — — — In addition, we discuss two new 2020 records we highly recommend: Matt Lajoie: “Everlasting Spring” and Steven Malkmus: “Traditiona...

March 03, 2020 12:00 - 1 hour - 87.2 MBIn Episode 091 we assess Phish’s fourth run in Mexico, focusing on what very well may be the best version of Waves we’ve ever heard. Following last year’s high quality run, the band returned with what felt like a vengeance, throwing down rarities, jams, and excellent sets throughout the entire weekend. Songs featured in this episode are: John Moreland: “I’m Learning How To Tell Myself The Truth” Kvelertak: “Bratebrann” Neil Young: “When Your Lonely Heart Breaks” The Fiery Furnaces: “Ch...
