SiriusXM’s Phish Radio presents “Phish: Dinner And A Movie LIVE from The Ninth Cube.” Tune in FREE at 8:30PM ET tonight. Phish performs three full sets LIVE from the Ninth Cube. The show will be performed without an audience and will be webcast for free with a simulcast on Phish Radio on SiriusXM. The DAAM series has distributed nearly $900,000 in donations via the WaterWheel Foundation since the start of the pandemic to help non-profits around the country (and beyond). Our friends at SiriusXM have generously underwritten production costs to make this webcast free, and we are hoping to come together once again as a community to support those in need. The WaterWheel Foundation will be raising money for a handful of non-profits close to the Phish community. Donate at anytime now at https://phish.com/waterwheel. #PhishNinthCubeSXM
Of course that was then… and this is now! Furthur will be broadcasting their show, New Year’s Eve 12/31/2010 on Sirius/XM on The Grateful Dead Channel – and you can listen over the internet! Get more details at www.tinyurl.com/DeadSirius
And…. they got some good deals on radios too…
Of course you can always track down a DVD or VHS of that 1987 show, it was released as Ticket To New Years

Phil Lesh and Friends were cooking! The line up known as the PLQ or the “Q” – the Phil Lesh Quintet – were ripping our minds open for a couple years, with great new songs and a tight sound. The Q was comprised of Phil Lesh (bass/vocals), Jimmy Herring (guitar), Warren Haynes (guitar/vocals), John Molo (drums), and Rob Barracco (keyboards/vocals). Their CD There and Back Again came out in Spring 2002, and features “Celebration” and “No More Do I”, two songs Furthur has performed in 2010.
And Ratdog was smoking as well! 2001 was a very busy year, they had many newish songs too, from 2000’s Evening Moods (including “Ashes and Glass” and “Two Djinn”, also in Furthur’s current song list).
Mickey Hart was busy as ever, with a ton of projects! He had done Supralingua in 1998, and then in 2000 the book and CD set Spirit Into Sound.
Bill Kreutzmann had released Backbone in 1998 and was playing with the Trichromes who would put out an album in 2002.
My point is, individually, these guys were busy making music in their own ways, doing their own things!
Plus, they all four had not played together officially since 1995.
Take another step back…
Yes, Mickey, Phil and Bob did tour in 1998 as The Other Ones, with both Mark Karan and Steve Kimock on guitar, and John Molo on drums (Only The Strange Remain), and at the final tour stop, 7/25/1998 Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View California (the place built for The Grateful Dead to play), Billy the K did sit in with his grateful bandmates.
After that tour, there was a semi-public disagreement between Phil and Bob on internet distribution of the Grateful Dead Vault recordings (Bob wanted to make a deal that Phil didn’t, is the gist). Anyway, word on the Shakedown street was they were not really friendly for a couple of years there.
Then, one night in June 2001, as they tend to do, Phil and Bob made up. They played a gig as Crusader Rabbit Stealth Band, at The Sweetwater in Mill Valley, California, and the rest of the band was Phil’s friends: Molo, Herring, Barraco (Haynes joined in on the last song). The Sweetwater, sadly no more, was a bar, so this was a small show, 100 or so people.

Then, came New Years eve… Exciting enough to hear that Phil and Friends and Ratdog were sharing the bill… CRSB is listed on the line up! And rumors were rampant that Bill and Mickey would be there…
The New Years float featured four Wizards, and behind glimmering robes and fake beards, we slowly realized it was the boys themselves. As they landed on the stage, they were fleshed out by Jimmy and Rob, and played for us all a real sweet set. It was a pretty awesome night, really felt like a healing, all four guys coming together after so long.
