Episode 76: Chalk Dust Torture!

This week, we decided to discuss and explore Chalk Dust Torture and its evolution over the years. Phish has of course been playing this song since 1991, and the evolution of the song has pretty closely followed the trajectory of their music—incredible precision, then a bit of exploration, then funk, then way more space and groove, then into the current era of patient but ambitious jams. Tracks are below. If you haven't yet, please take our quick survey about how we can improve the podcast. Also, review us on iTunes and follow us on Twitter. As we mentioned last week, episodes 1-20 of HF Pod are available on the Internet Archive. Please do go back and listen if you want to hear some our less.....refined offerings.
