Stay ConnectedWelcome to Beyond The Pond! We’re two massive Phish fans who are using the music of Phish to introduce you to new and interesting music we think you’ll love! Because we love the Phish. We are Phish fans. But sometimes you gotta break out of your comfort zone and go beyond the pond. A proud member of the Osiris Podcast Network.

In 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 check out their episodes which were released earlier this month to get full context for Phish’s Fall 2000 Conclusion to 1.0.

In 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.
Songs featured in this episode are:
The War On Drugs: “Best Night”
No Joy: “Nothing Will Hurt”
Drew Grow & The Pastor’s Wives: “Bootstraps”
Wipers: “Over The Edge”

In addition, we discuss two new 2020 records we highly recommend: Young Jesus: “Welcome To Conceptual Beach” and Zephaniah Ohara: “Listening To The Music”

We’re trying something new this October. We’re going to collaborate withUnder The Scales & The Helping Friendly Podcastto bring you a month of podcasts aligned around a single theme. In October, we’re going to be examining the end of Phish 1.0, with a particular focus on October 2000. In the first week, you’ll hear Tom interview a very special guest on Under the Scales while discussing the closing of the Phish Organization. In week two, HF Pod will do an exploration of the tour and talk about the end of Phish 1.0, while hearing from fans about the tour experience. In week three, the Beyond the Pond team will do a deep dive on the “Phoenix Guy Forget” while highlighting other bands connected to the jam’s theme. And in week four, we’ll bring you a special segment. All of these episodes will be available on their normal feeds, so we encourage you to subscribe to all three shows. If this works well — and most importantly, if you all like it — we’ll try it again! Thank you for your ongoing support of our show and of Osiris. Look forward to collaborating with our friends on a massive Phish Deep Dive!

In 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:
Blur: “Girls & Boys,” “This Is A Low”
Oasis: “Supersonic,” “Slide Away”
Pulp: “Common People,” “Disco 2000”
Suede: “The Drowners,” “So Young”

In 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 pieces like Time Turns Elastic and Guyute, alongside offering string arraignments on Sigma Oasis. Don provides insights into the world of orchestration while offering specific through-lines between the band’s abstract experiments in Summer ’95 with the late-19th/early-20th century composers that so influenced Trey.
Songs featured in this episode are:
Modest Mussorgsky: “The Old Castle”
Igor Stravinsky: “The Rite Of Spring”
Bela Bartok: “Concerto For Orchestra”

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.

In 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 rebirth.
One quick note, we recorded this episode before the larger push to change the name of the Kentucky Wildcats’ arena from Rupp Arena. It’s clear in research that Adolph Rupp was a racist and that his name no longer deserves to grace the basketball arena. We support the faculty at the University of Kentucky pushing to change the name.
Songs featured in this episode are:
Neil Young: “Transformer Man”
Stevie Wonder: “Golden Lady”
My Bloody Valentine: “(When You Wake) You’re Still In A Dream”
Hum: “In The Den”

In addition, we discuss two new 2020 records we highly recommend: Daniel Carter, Matthew Shipp, William Parker, Gerald Clever: “Welcome Adventure! Vol 1” and Nadine Shah: “Kitchen Sink”

In 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 feels like it happened 3 decades ago.
Songs featured in this episode are:
Miles Davis: One & One
Rhyton: “Bowl Of Hygieia”
Garcia Peoples: “The Spiraling”
Luke Elliot: “Carolyn”
