Random Phish Sightings

Dan Greenhaus suspiciously used two Phish phrases within the same minute of the 12/2/09 Market Breakdown: "i'd like to take a few companions on this ride" (at 4:40)  and "the days when my life was a haze" (at 5:29). And, during the 12/8/09 California Report segment on NPR, there was a story about a Stanfurd football player who is a Heismann candidate.; at the end of the segment they played "Golgi Apparatus" by the Stanford Marching Band, from Sharin' in the Groove.  Have you heard Phish music or lyrics anywhere recently - TV, radio, print, or elsewhere? Let us know!

PhishMBA 97.5 the Fanatic, a radio station in Philadelphia, that carries 950 ESPN radio should be called 97.5 the Phanatic. Yesterday on the 10a-12p - Vai Sikahema and Harry Mayes slot, the music they played after coming back from a commercial was the opening licks to Tweezer...Phish is winning lots of people over these days

MJZ1974 Back around 2001-2004, I worked outdoors on a construction crew here in Michigan. EVERY morning, as part of my routine, I'd wake up...turn on The Weather Channel, and make coffee. For those 3 years...it was either "The Other 1" (Grateful Dead from Live Dead '69) instrumental or the "You Enjoy Myself" from "A Live One" (that 1st instrumental break with the repeating hammer-on notes) playing in the background.

It took me a few weeks to realize it!

Whoever was in charge of the background music for The Weather Channel from 2001-2004 was a Deadhead-Phishhead. God bless whoever that was...

I laugh thinking about how many old people in Kansas or Wyoming tuned in to check the weather...and had Trey piping through the living room without knowing it!

phunnygirl98 I heard that report on NPR with the Stanford Marching Band and was so stoked!!! I played Golgi and various other Phish tunes all last week for my 7th grade students while learning to use the microscope!!! Lots of vocab in that song! HAHAHA!!! My favorite is when they play Tweezer at hockey games...I've seen it during the Stanley Cup before...its the best! Also, I've heard Phish tunes during the "Weather on the 8's" portion on the Weather Channel.

Depends on who is doing the spelling. GO BEARS!

, comment by johnnyd
johnnyd Vermont Public Radio - weekday mornings - Mitch Wertlieb occasionally uses Phish as the background music between stories. Late summer I heard Mango and Foam. There have been others, I dont remember all the examples.
, comment by lovincup
lovincup Immediately prior to the third period opening face-off of the hockey game at Madison Square Garden between the Islanders and Rangers on Weds night 12/16: Tweezer Reprise pulsing loudly through the arena as both teams head to the face-off circle. They played an entire version of the song for over 2:30 minutes, and got very loud with the final portion of the fellas belting as they get the game started. Fantastic!
, comment by Skimble_Shanks
Skimble_Shanks I remember watching The Weather Channel a while back to listen for Phish during the local on the 8's. I forget the first time I heard it, but after I did I had never been more excited for my local forecast. I remeber "YEM", "Guyute", "Divided Sky", and "If I Could" all being used as background music. I became less enchanted with the weather forecast once they stopped playing Phish.

yanzlow jan 23 - nbc sports International Freestle Skiing Championship - outtro music - the "gone" intro to Light, just up to the song proper. I hate NBC for what they did to Conan, but the NBC sports production gang is on the ball!
