Phish on 05 Twist / Stash Uniondale, NY 4/2/98

The fifth installment in the ‘LP on LP’ vinyl series showcases “Twist” and “Stash” from the opening night of two Nassau Coliseum shows. Nassau hosted the first of two, two-night engagements that comprised Phish’s Island Tour - an impromptu live excursion on Long Island and Rhode Island that arose during ‘The Story of the Ghost’ pre-production sessions in Vermont. On side A is the deep-space Island “Twist” from set II that explored intergalactic territory with a bass nod to Star Trek. Side B’s “Stash” from set I also went deep with a beautiful, sometimes dark jam that erupted into staccato melody and an ambient outro. Together these two tracks capture the exploratory feel of the Island Tour shows. ‘LP on LP’ 05 was recorded by Paul Languedoc and mixed from the multitrack masters by Vance Powell.
