Summary: A wonderfully comprehensive insight to the Phish experience
Comment: After purchasing the Phish Companion only last night, I found myself lost in it for many hours, jumping from setlist to show review, losing myself in moments of reflection on the shows I've been to and was so fortunate to experience.

As Mike has said, "I always liked a good bar chart." (See phish.net FAQ) This book is chock full of useful information not only about setlist openers and closers, comprehensive information (compiled by ZZYZX) on individual tours, a complete "Every Time Played" in addition to multiple essays, interviews, reviews of shows and venues.

One of the most interesting tidbits I found was a multi-region area chart showing the rise and fall of "I am H2" within the Mike's Groove. Really neat stuff.

This book is truly a taper/trader's almanac with the most complete setlists available for every show the band has played with circulation and scarcity guides to match.

I can't say enough about it, this book is a must for any phan. Kudos to the Mockingbird Foundation for producing a book worthy of the hype which preceeded it!

PS. It's complete through 10.7 Shoreline!

Summary: An admittedly biased review...
Comment: As an editor, contributor, and proud founder of the Mockingbird Foundation's _Phish Companion_, I am obviously a biased party. But I don't think you'll find a better, more accurate, or more comprehensive book on Phish anywhere. All proceeds will benefit charities that support music education for children - no contributor will receive any compensation for their writings.

The book contains tons of new setlists and stories that have never been seen by fans. It is also chock full of statistics, reviews, song histories, and informative side chapters that will inform the newest and oldest fan alike.

For more information on both the book and our upcoming tribute album, check out the Foundation's website.....

Rating: 5
Summary: Pay no attention to the "spotlight reviews..."
Comment: Well - they're right -- the book is awesome! But those reviews refer to the first edition, released a couple years ago. This new version is more than just a redressing of that first edition; entire portions have been expanded and rewritten, and the whole thing has been laid out in an even better manner. This truly is the encyclopedia of Phish, from the first show ever through the Vegas run this April. And, of course, proceeds go to an amazing cause -- so amazing, in fact, that Phish themselves even donated their proceeds from LivePhish.com to the Mockingbird Foundation.

Read the book!!
