Mike’s Song - Gordon, Russo and Benevento (GRaB)
12.30.04 - Higher Ground, Burlington, VT

Shortly after Phish called it quits in 2004, Mike Gordon teamed up with The Duo, Marco Benevento (keys) and Joe Russo (drums) to form a unique power trio.  Here they tackle Mike’s Song with some serious intensity and a refreshing look at a nearly twenty year old song.  I love the way in which the dynamic adds an urgency to this song, which in later years lost a bit of its force within the full band context.  I’m excited to hear what new directions Phish takes some of their classic songs.  To go back over the past five years and explore what the members of Phish have been doing, check out Hidden Track’s From Coventry To Hampton special.
