Attendance Bias

Dawn Jenkins, better known as Dawneebee--host of the Phemale-Centrics podcast--discusses Phish's show on October 26, 2010 at the Verizon Wireless Arena in Manchester, NH. Dawneebee chose this show because not only was it when she took her significant other to his first show, but also because it was filled with rarities and unexpected setlist treats!

In this episode, Dawneebee and I talk about growing up in New England, her introduction to Phish via the early-90s Grateful Dead scene, how she started the Phemale-Centrics podcast through the Osiris Podcast Network, and how Phish may use certain songs to send a message about the importance of any given show.

The Phemale-Centrics podcast is available wherever you find your podcasts and is part of the Osiris Podcast Network.

Welcome to the first mini-episode of Attendance Bias! These mini-episodes will feature a breakdown of a single song or jam from a show that I’ve attended. I’ll pick a song or jam for any given reason—it was the highlight of the show, it meant something special to me, it's widely renown, who knows?

These mini-episodes will be posted on a bi-weekly basis in between full episodes of Attendance Bias, when a guest and I will go over a full Phish show.

Today's episode focuses on "Weekapaug Groove," played on 8/4/15 at the Ascend Amphitheater in Nashville, Tennessee. This concert came at a time when my life was in total disarray. I needed something special to help me make peace with a chapter that had recently closed. Heading to see Phish in Nashville, by myself, for the first time, did it.

The jam in "Weekapaug Groove" that closed the show was slow, new, dark, heavy, and entirely unexpected. I break it down piece by piece and explain what it meant to me. Enjoy!

Voiceover actress and SiriusXM's PhishRadio host Elisa Allechant joins me to discuss Phish's show on November 2, 2018 at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. Elisa chose this show primarily because it was the first time she caught "Sneakin' Sally Through the Alley" in 20+ years of seeing the band.

But there's much more to it!

Throughout the episode, Elisa and I talk about her upbringing in New York State's Hudson Valley, the best venues on the West coast, how this show hearkens back to 1999, Curveball, and how some Phish songs are "activation" songs; imploring the listeners to not just dance, but also to take action.

Please note that this episode does not detail Elisa's responsibilities as a PhishRadio host, nor question her journey toward getting the job.
