The Pharmer's Almanac
For music fans who crave PHISH...Here's the ultimate underground compendium to the group that Entertainment Weekly calls "the most popular band in America." Widely recognized as the heirs to The Grateful Dead, Phish began playing bars in Vermont in the early '80s and has since progressed to packing concerts with more than 70,000 fans. An entire subculture of fans that tirelessly follow the band and keep up constant demand for up-to-date and detailed information on concerts, tours, and band members. Like the followers of The Grateful Dead, Phish fans are also avid bootleg collectors, which makes The Pharmers Almanac a must-have compendium. Brimming with must-know concert information, the Almanac includes: * backgrounds of the songs* profiles of bandmembers * tour highlights * Phish-filled anecdotes * articles by fans and editors * surveys and survey results * and the entire play list for every concert, so fans can properly catalog their extensive tape collections. All followers of Phish will find this book indispensible.

A fair historical analysis of Phish pre-1999. The optimism and love for the band is present throughout each song's analysis and tour reviews. In many ways it's nice to see the band captured in a time before our redheaded guitar hero went MIA. I would have liked some more quotes/interviews/dirt/rumors/- albeit a decent reference book.
