In 1999 after Phish finished their U.S. Summer Tour they preformed at the Fuji Rock Festival for their first show in Japan. In response to the recent Earthquake and Tsunami, Phish is releasing Japan Relief at LivePhish.com and Phish Dry Goods to benefit Peace Winds America. 100% of the funds they collect for disaster relief will go to support operations through their sister organization, Peace Winds Japan.
Relief operations began March 15 and are currently underway in Miyagi Prefecture, where Peace Winds is on the ground providing food, clothing, medicines and temporary shelter to survivors of the Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami.
Japan Relief features Phish's entire show from July 31, 1999 the middle, Saturday night as well as "What's The Use?" from their soundcheck on July 29th. The July 31 show crackled with energy, intermingling classic and new material with an exploratory vibe that meshed with the atmosphere of respect and beauty.
To pre-order the MP3/FLAC (this show will be released on April 15 at LivePhish.com, and hard CDs will be released May 10), please click here. Please spread the word about this release and its beneficiaries, who are busy right now providing much needed relief and support in Japan.
